SUNDANCE 2012: Critic's Notebook 2
GreenCine Daily &bull Feb 4, 2012Exploding gators, swamp water mojo and a lowly, wise six-year-old heroine named Hushpuppy seemed to be almost all that anyone really wanted to talk about at the Sundance Film Festival this year. Behn Zeitlin's audacious feature debut Beasts of the Southern Wild, shot on 16mm in a bayou neverland near New Orleans, felt like the cinematic arrival occasions such as Sundance exist to announce. Two weeks after watching it (in a sleep-deprived state, literally fresh off an airport shuttle bus) at its festival premiere, the film resonates… Full Story »

Twitch &bull Feb 4, 2012
Ahhh, another snowy year at Sundance (particularly snowy this year) has come to a close. A lot of excellent films have been packed up in their canisters and sent to their new distributors. Even more will move along in the festival season, hoping to find a friendly home on some form of new-fangled download-to-your-alphanumeric-pager distro-strategy. But before these movies make it to screens of various sizes near you, I'd like to take you on a quick tour of all the titles I was able to catch this year. I've included my letter grade, a few words of what I thought,… Full Story »

Twitch &bull Feb 4, 2012
Our sincere thanks to Andy Jurgensen for his review of Amy Berg's documentary and comparison to the documentary trilogy by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky. In 1994, Damian Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley were tried and convicted in a West Memphis court of the murder of Steven Branch, Christopher Byers and Michael Moore.

Only teenagers, Misskelley and Baldwin received life sentences and Echols was given the… Full Story »
