I'm Going to Try and Get Up to Sundance this Year

Sundance -- Robert Redford's renown film festival held in beautiful Park City, Utah.

Here are the films that looked good to me:

1. A Complete History of My Sexual Failures - It just looks funny.
2. Anywhere, U.S.A - Filmed in NC with an all-unprofessional cast. This movie is a real independent movie.
3. August - Josh Hartnett plays a more-than-he-really-is dot-com entrepreneur. Looks good.
4. Baghead - Doesn't the name alone make you want to see it?
5. Be Kind Rewind - This movie is one of my personally most anticipated movies of the year. I'm dying to see it at Sundance before it hits the theaters. It's a film with Jack Black and Danny Glover. Jack Black somehow erases an entire rental store's videos and Danny Glover and him spend the rest of the movie re-making videos for people. Some of the videos they re-do include Robo-Cop, The Lion King, Back to the Future, etc.
6. Birds of America - It looks serious, but boasts a great cast.
7. Choke - Sex, Drugs and Alcohol...
8. Chronic Town - More Sex, Drugs and Alcohol....
9. Guitar - It's supposed to capture my imagination and heart....crap....
10. Henry Poole is Here - Luke Wilson. It's going to be good. That's all I need to say.
11. Last Word - "Hilarious dark romantic comedy"
12. Mysteries of Pittsburgh - I feel like this is the most talked up movie up there.
13. Phoebe in Wonderland - I love C. S. Lewis; but somehow, I think this movie is going to have nothing to do with him or Wonderland.
14. Pretty Bird - Looks funny.
15. Hell Ride - Quentin Tarantino's at it again.
16. Smart People - Dennis Quaid is in it.
17. Sugar - It's about baseball, but there are fireworks in it!
18. Trouble the Water - Hurricane Katrina documentary - should be way good.
19. Wackness - Looks way funny.
20. What Just Happened? - Robert De Niro's romantic movie. Ugh.
21. Where in the World is Osbama bin Laden? - Why did take so long for this title to get out?
22. Year of Getting to Know Us - #2 on my list behind Be Kind Rewind. Jimmy Fallon!

Thanks for the comment over on my blog... I am a big FarSide fan, though after the stupid "cease and desist" fiasco related to my having an episoded posted on my blog, I'm not such a fan... I've seen Cyanide and Happiness, but I think xkcd (www.xkcd.com) is funnier - probably b/c I was a math major. I did use a wordpress template... All of the WP templates are editable, but I've never bothered b/c I'm too lazy. Wordpress is more sophisticated than blogger and has a bunch of cool stat-tracking tools and such, you should check it out...
