A visit from starfyre
Although the stupid toe kept me home for another weekend, starfyre was kind enough to drive down for a visit. We swapped obscure music finds, then watched The Maiden Heist which was a silly museum theft movie. It starred Christopher Walken, Morgan Friedman, and a frequently naked William H. Macy. It was a fun see once kind of flick. Mostly we ( Read more... ) -

The story is essentially an adult Wreck It Ralph done very ( Read more... ) -
Sundance Report #4
Yesterday Dad and I saw an experimental film called North of South, East of West. There were 20 swivel chairs on castors for the audience and four screens around the room for the movie.

Sundance Report #3
I have now attended three shorts progams plus the super amazing In a World. The shorts ranged from awesome (Record/Play) to dear God why? Even the animated shorts can be gruesome and/or pointless. Saw a couple today that were a bit uncomfortable with your Dad sitting in the next seat, but that's the problem with shorts - you never know what's ( Read more... )
