I know you've all been dieing to hear the latest update on movies you'll probably never get the chance to see, but until Sunday this is my life, and this is my blog, so just deal with it.
:-D
But remember: Clerks, Garden State, Napolean Dynamite and many others, all started out on the film festival circuit, so you never know.

Last night we saw Freedom State and hit the jackpot again. This one along with "A Columbia" I think have the best chance for the big screen. Although you know I am in love with "Andrew Jenks, Room 335" I don't know if it will make the big screen. It should at least be on cable, and the DVD should be available. It's too good to not let people see.

Anyway, Freedom State. Shot beautifully, and the characters were played by such likeable people. You just didn't want it to end because you were in love with watching these "crazy" people in their adventures. And a real message of love and living happily. Again, the director comes out and he's all of 16 years old. Okay, he can't possibly BE 16, but he certainly looked it. I am amazed that so many good movies are being made by kids who can't be out of their early 20's. Anyway, view the trailer and keep your eye out for this one because I think it may make it.

The only criticism - it was slow in the very beginning, and it was almost too quirky - but everyone I spoke with agreed that the movie itself was so good that we didn't care about the quirky parts we didn't understand - we loved watching it anyway.

Dirty Mary, the short before this was okay. It had a great plot and was pretty hysterical, but again, editing. No one wants to listen to the drunk girl screeching at the bar, and no one wants to listen to so much screeching on screen either. If the screetching was cut down, the rest of the movie was pretty F-ing hilarious. And if you're a girl and ever wore your stained granny panties and neglected shaving your legs to assure you didn't bring a guy home after a date, then you would totally love this short.

Tonight: Zooey preceded by a short called Bunny, which appears to be directed by a woman who's worked on several Tarantino films.
And after that we watch The Ape, written directed and starred in by James Franco, who you may recognize from Freaks and Geeks or Spiderman. This is preceded by the short "Project Huxley", which is a movie about a stuffed monkey, and you can't miss with that, eh?
