Sundance 2009!!!!


As you know I just got back from Sundance, and it was great. I was a little upset that I did not get to see the film, “Push,” but I did get to see the following:

Don’t Let Me Drown: In a post-September 11th world overflowing with fear and hate, two Latino teens discover that sometimes the only thing that can keep them from drowning is love. Gina Torres was “Excellent” in this film.

Dare: Dare follows three very-different teenagers through the last semester of high school. Not a great movie, all the teens were “real,” adults so you did not get a good meaning of a real story.

Children of Invention: For immigrants, the American Dream has always been a symbol of success that meant achieving a new life far removed from past hardships. In his feature film debut, director Tze Chun explores this age-old perception through the eyes of a Chinese American family in suburban Boston.Single mother Elaine Cheng struggles to support her two young children, Raymond and Tina, by juggling various sales jobs. Very good. The children in this film, were AWESOME!

Also while in the airport I saw Big Boi (From Outcast), with his wife, and on the way back to LA Nas was on the plane so that was pretty cool.
