Sundance 2008

It's that time of the year again, and Sundance is approaching rapidly. The festival begins next Friday, January 17, with the opening film In Bruges starring Colin Farrell and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I must say that I am very disappointed with Sundance this year. As locals, we were promised a better selection of movies, but as I was registering for individual ticket sales I received an email that told me I was not guaranteed an online time slot to buy tickets. My mom registered and received the email that told her she did not get a time. Thankfully, I did, but it is the afternoon of the last day of the sales.

This week I decided to put together my list of movies that I would like to attend. I realized that the chances of actually obtaining these tickets is slim to none and that I should go for the films that don't have big celebrities in them. After all, the Sundance Film Festival is for the movies, not to see celebrities.

My time slot is tomorrow afternoon, so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully I'll get something!
