This morning while my nephew played Call of Duty, I had some time to catch up on pop culture news. Thanks, interweb. So, I’m excited by two films that premiered at Sundance this year. First, the newest film by Jeff Nichols (he made the David Gordon Green-produced film Shotgun Stories) about a man who may be dealing with mental illness and is convinced he needs to build his family a tornado shelter. Some of the footage reminds me a little of Donnie Darko…but I haven’t been able to find a full trailer for the film yet. You can “meet the artist” below:
Secondly, I’m a sucker for all things Miranda July related. With that said, I nearly peed myself when I learned that her newest film, The Future, is narrated by the cat who belongs to the couple that the film is about. That sounds adorable, right?! It is also impossible to find a trailer for this one…but there’s an interview below:
After getting juiced up on film news, I did a little Web site work, finished the mileage forms for my accountant, took my car into the repair shop (sad to say good bye to my little green buddy for a few days) and sent my nephew off with his grandma and grandpa.
Now, I’m getting ready to make black bean and turkey chili (fat free and soooo good) and watch the red carpet followed by the Oscars…Yippeeeeee!!!!
