I saw the first 5 star flick of the festival tonight - so good that it motivated me to resurrect the blog. It might be a bit more sparse than usual this year, on account of me having a lot of other stuff going on during the festival, but if you can tolerate my brevity then here we go...
Big Easy Express. Go see. GO SEE IT NOW. Or whenever it's playing next.
Big Easy Express is essentially a tour video about 3 alt/country/folk bands touring the American south/west by train and playing shows every night beside their parked train. Having just returned from a road trip that took me through parts of Arizona and New Mexico, I tingled with nostalgia throughout the 61 minute film, but even if you didn't just return from your own personal desert adventure, the sight of Mumford and Sons paying their majestic song The Cave backed by an Austin high school marching band will surely make your fuzzy hairs stand on end too. To be honest, every moment of the movie made my hair stand on end. If you like trains, deserts and banjos, please see this movie.
Last night I saw The Outing, which profiled a young gay pedophile in Germany or Austria or somewhere around there where they have all those pedophiles. You know when you go see a doc about dance and there's lots of dancers in the audience, or when you see a movie about hockey and there's lots of hockey fans in the audience? Yeah.
I also so Off Label today but it wasn't very good so I don't feel like writing about it. I feel like eating a frozen pizza and going to bed.
So this is what you're going to get this year!
