(them political docs oh so in this year) <br /> <br />Also noteworthy from the <a href="http://market.ifp.org/newyork/market/market26/noflash/">IFP Market</a>: <br />- Neobillies (modern day hillbillies) <br />- FilmGeek (most certain to be picked up by a distributor soon) <br />- Three of Hearts (was picked up at Toronto by ThinkFilm - more than interesting story of 2 men and a women in a three-way relationship !!) <br />- Following Sean (filmmaker Ralph Arlyck revisits Sean who in the sixies at age 4 smoked pot and spoke candidly of speedfreaks. Adorable, charming boy still 35 years later.) <br /> <br />Oh, yes, and the highlight of my <a href="http://www.resfest.com/">RESFEST</a> experience was <br />Cheryl Dunn's "Bicycle Gangs of New York" !<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8213476-109623336040008227?l=solda.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Isold Uggadottirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12789055406374481318noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213476.post-1094486778686316042004-09-06T11:46:00.000-04:002004-09-06T12:06:18.686-04:00How disturbing. <br />Lukas Moodyson's <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lilya_4ever/">third feature</a> that came out in 2002 is depressing all the way through but oh so effective. Still 12 hours after seeing it I just can't get it out of my mind. <br />The same can not be said for Michael Mann's <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/collateral/">Collateral</a>. Ok - Tom Cruise is extremely convincing as a hit-man and Jamie Foxx is definately good as the cab driver and yes, there is some above average dialogue there -- but really, at the end of the day this is just a movie about a hit-man working to take out his targets. Come-on Tom Cruise, if you have all the money in the world, all the power in the world and the ability to choose from any single project possible -- This is what you choose ??? Is this all you have to say, is this all you want to use your power to say? <br /> <br />More Moodyson - More Joshua Marston.
