Here is a little animated short that we saw today about Dock Ellis and his no-hitter he pitched while high on LSD. Very funny. Take a watch, you'll laugh.

A holiday short that gets us all warm and bloody!
I love Christmas, it is the most special time of year, and apparently the sacred holiday has come early in 2009. Only seven months after I witnessed this miracle at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, horror short Treevenge is FINALLY available for the general public to enjoy. This 15 minute blood bath is sure to please horror fans everywhere. So grab your scarf, your mittens and freshly sharpened chainsaw and spread some holiday smear!Monday, April 13, 2009
Dare I say "BEST SCIFI" movie of 2009...
If you see ONE scifi film in the theaters this summer, this has GOT to be it. Moon pits Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) as a lonely astronaut approaching the end of his 3 year contract working a moon base. Things quickly start to change putting him in a spiral of delusion and confusion, which Director Duncan Jones captures beautifully in the spirit of scifi classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey.I was fortunate enough to see this film at the Sundance Film Festival 2009, and can confidently add that it was one of my personal favorites this year. Stunning visual effects, a great script and a noteworthy performance by Sam Rockwell, are all golden factors in this cinema treasure. I highly recommend, that given the option, you check this film out. You won't be disappointed.
Moon will be released in New York and Los Angeles on June 12.

Gearing Up For Sundance 2009....
Now that a new week is upon us, I find myself trying to mentally and physically prepare for my grand return to the Sundance Film Festival 2009 in Park City, Utah. I have not attended this annual collection of Independent films since I made my Utah exodus in 2006. As you can imagine, I am more than excited to make my return. With two "fest rookie" friends at my side, Matt (NY) and Megan (LA) we are going to conquer a total of 7 screenings in 4 days. Since the festival is already well underway (has been on since Thurs. Jan. 15), we will be a little behind the buzz, which from my experience will be to our benefit.Our indy film adventure begins on Wednesday, when we fly into Salt Lake City. Matt and I have the exact same layover in Las Vegas, and coincidentally will be on the same flight from Vegas to SLC. We couldn't have planned it better! Once we land we will meet up with Megan, somehow, some way and will head to my parents house in Park City (pictured right). We'll hit the sack and rest up for the next few days, which will be mad busy.
Our plan will be as follows, feel free to meet up with us at the following screenings:
Day 1 Thurs. Jan. 22:
8:30 am Peter & Vandy @ the Raquet Club. (Matt's Choice)
3:15 pm Big Fan @ the Eccles Theatre. (Matt's Choice)
Day 2 Fri. Jan. 23:
6:00 pm Black Dynamite @ The Tower Theater, Salt Lake City (Kristian's Choice)
11:59 pm Død Snø (Dead Snow) @ The Egyptian Theater (Kristian's Choice)
Day 3 Sat. Jan. 24:
9:00 am Moon @ The Eccles Theatre (Kristian's Choice)
8:30 pm Shorts Program V @ Prospector Square Theater (Matt's Choice)
11:59 pm The Informers @ The Tower Theater, Salt Lake City (Kristian's Choice)
As you can see we have a lot to look forward to this year. Many of these films are already getting lots of critical acclaim. Some have already been picked up for distribution (Black Dynamite). Although, I must say that my Norwegian bias paired with my love for horror movies has made Dead Snow the must see film of the Festival for me this year. I will do my best to give my take on each of these flicks in blogs to come. Stay tuned and stay warm while we're freezing our asses off in Park City.
