Well, with the "best of fest" movies on Monday I caught 33 films at Sundance this year, and missed countless (because I don't want to count) more that I wanted to see.
It was a good year, I didn't see anything I didn't like and the ones I liked least I can still appreciate. I even liked all of the films in "Shorts Program I" which might be a first for a shorts program. The "Animation Spotlight" was a crap shoot, but I expect that.
In the documentary categories "In the Shadow of the Moon" rocked my world. "Joe Strummer..." and "Three Comrades" were also very fine.
I liked all of the fictions I saw as well, but if since I've decided to go with a top 3 here we go (drum roll please...): "Once" (I'm waiting for the album the leads recorded together before the filming, I've ordered it and it should be here any day now), "Teeth" and "Angel-A" with an honorable nod to "Blame it on Fidel."
These may not be the technical best of Sundance, or the one the real film snobs love, but they're the movies I loved this year.
It's Friday now, I haven't been to a movie since Monday. Maybe I'll go tonight.
One more thing, if you're reading this click on the ads at the bottom, consider it a contribution to my delinquency.
