Cinequest - Friday
Today was FUN FUN FUN. Not Good: Imitation: It wasn't horrible, it just wasn't great. It was slow, confusing, irritating sometimes, and left you with no one to root for. Plus, WRONG ENDING. If this is on your list and there's something else you want to see, skip this one. It wasn't as bad as the French short film, it just wasn't really good. Good: Mas Que Nada en el Mundo (More than Anything in the World): Best Foreign Film of the Day: Courthouse on the Horseback I loved this film. I'm going to take the description right out of the Cinequest site: Winner of the prestigious Horizons Award at the Venice Film Festival, and based on a true story, Liu Jie directs the story of an old circuit court judge, whose dispensation of justice for the various squabbles and transgressions he finds are reminiscent of Mark Twain in both their fairness and humor. I thought it was great, it was a very nice surprise and the first really good film I saw so far. This is the kind of festival film the rest of the world really misses out on - a nice quiet foreign film (from China) that is really really great. Best Film for a Fun Move Ride: You Are Here. This was a direct rip-off of "Go" complete with requisite British bloke, dangerous drug dealer, and the multiple view point. But it was a REALLY fun movie. I totally loved it and so did the whole audience. The good news is, this one will have at least a one week showing in LA and New York, which means it could be picked up cross-country and will at least go to video/DVD. So keep your eyes out for this one - or go see it if you're at Cinequest. It also had a great cast: Katie Cassidy, Bijou Phillips, Adam Campbell, Lauren German, Patrick Flueger, Chris Lowell, Danny Masterson, Michael Biehn Word on the Street (In Line for the movies): Bad: Hitler Meets Christ Good: The Doorman On my schedule for tomorrow: Comments
