Sundance Wednesday - Slow Down
It is actually more fun than watching Main Street get built up in the days before Sundance begins... it's watching them dismantle today, yesterday, and tomorrow. It's almost like being on a studio backlot, as they transform streets dressed for one film into a whole new world. The Bon Appetit Supper Club is back to being The Riverhorse. Stores that you never would know are on Main Street suddenly appear as they no longer host multinational corporate huksters. You can eat at the restaurants, whether the pizza joint that just reopened or Zoom, Redford's high end Americana spot.
Beautiful.
I've been seeing a lot of movies that I need to catch up on writing about. The best work at the festival, full stop, is in Sugar... but then there are problems. The review will be up on MCN shortly. Momma's Man is what the NY Smartniks thought it was, for better or worse. And there is a parade of others. I will write ASAP. Wi-fi has been a problem and they are kicking me out of the press lounge right.... NOW!

Thanks, DP. I hope to catch Sugar at the Friday morning show. I don't participate here much but remain a regular reader. I am at Sundance for the first time ever, just arriving today. I'd love to meet any Hot Bloggers if you have time or interest. I saw Under The Bombs today. I am not a crtic, just a fan of movies. I liked it. I found it poignant and well done. Like all good anti-war movies, it makes its point without being preachy. You can email me at northlakecapitalatgmaildotcom if you are interested in getting together. Enjoy.
