Yesterday was my first full day of seeing movies at the film festival, so I thought I'd share with you what I thought of a few movies really quickly before my next full day of movies. So here now just for you are some really quick movie reviews:
The Sessions
A charming story with some great performances, although I wasn’t satisfied with the ending. It was almost a cop out to end it the way it did, but it was still an interesting and entertaining movie. Plus, I loved the small appearance by Rhea Perlman and Sacred Heart Hospital from ‘Scrubs’.
A long-standing tradition for cult classic cinema is the midnight movie. Films that are often looked at as obscure, oddball, and offbeat thrive in the environment of late night (sometimes drunken) theater going. As part of the Graveyard Shift section of this year’s film festival, we’re presenting ‘Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning 3D’ tonight at 11:59pm at the Rave in University City.
At first glance from the trailer, it looks like a mindless action movie that should’ve gone straight to DVD, but all of the buzz coming out of Fantastic Fest is extremely positive.
