Hi again,
Still here in Park City, but still haven't worked a shift (that will be in a few hours). Just wanted to let you know what's been going on since Vol. 1.
Saw a couple movies:
Adam's Apples -- a Danish film about a neo-nazi who gets out of prison and goes to live at a church and all of the dealings that he has with other people living there. A lot of odd characters and some sudden violence, but it was pretty good. 3 stars (out of five).
Friends With Money -- an excellent flick which opened the festival last night. I saw the early morning showing of it today and liked it a lot. It stars Jennifer Aniston, Joan Cusack, Frances McDormand, and Catherine Keener about a single woman (Aniston) who works as a maid while all of her friends are living wealthy. Excellent acting, great story. It will be released to theaters on April 7th. I'd recommend it. 4 1/2 stars (I have to save the five star in case there's something better).
Celebrity sightings:
John Waters was in the crowd waiting to enter the movie this morning (but apparently you can see him all the time in P'town during the summer).
After Friends with Money screened, the director, Nicole Holofcener, had a Q&A session and she brought some of the cast, including Aniston, Cusack, Jason Isaacs, and Greg Germann. That was cool, but I've now learned that I should try to get a seat as close to the front as possible for these photos ops that might turn up. I got some far away shots of the above people. You live and learn.
Heading now to see if I can get into see some musical acts. Info in Volume 3 if I can get in.
Until next time...Ted
