Film Fest 2007 Preview

Sundance 2007

Chasing Ghosts: A documentary about the 1982 Video Game World Championship and the kid on record to get a perfect score on “Pac Man”. 80’s nostalgia is RAD!

Bugmaster: Katsuhiro Otomo, most known for his animation work like with “Akira” and “Steamboy”, directs this live action Japanese manga adaptation about a traveling mystical doctor who cures the Ill effects of supernatural creatures. Live action and some “AKIRA” like CG…yes, this will RULE!

Chapter 27: A film about Mark David Chapman in the days leading up to the infamous murder of Beatle, John Lennon. Insanity and The Catcher In The Rye both captured on celluloid. Extra trivia…did you know there are only 26 chapters in “Catcher” hence the name of this movie.

Chicago 10: Archival footage, animation, and music are used to look back at the eight anti-war protesters who were put on trial following the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The animation is in the vain of “A Scanner Darkly” and the cast is FRESH.

The Ten: Ten stories, each inspired by one of the Ten Commandments. Pretty simple premise but I’m sure it will be a COMPLEX endeavor. The cast for this is all over the place…VERY NICE.

Interview: Billed as a passionate verbal duel between two fundamentally opposed characters. Buscemi is a great actor and director…sounds like a MIND EFF.

Fido: A movie about a kid and a pet zombie named Fido. But when Fido eats the next-door neighbor, Mom and Dad tell the kid Fido has to go. The makings of a GREAT black comedy.

Crossing The Line: A British documentary about US Army defector James Dresnok currently living in North Korea after having defected during the 60s. The twist is…this person was used in propaganda films against the USA and as the years went by he became a psuedo celebrity over there.

Delirious: An offbeat drama focused on a homeless youth, a pop music siren and a member of the paparazzi. Good cast and Buscemi is DOPE!

And…

Teeth: A horror movie about a girl with teeth in her vagina that eats men’s penises. Troma has NOTHING to do with this either.
