Go to Sundance or Bust! Part Two:

The Good:
Other selections: "Push", a film about abuse that brought tears to my eyes, and left me with a pain in my gut. "Spread" was my wife's choice for underdog of the year; it's an Ashton Kutcher photoplay situated in Hollywood. "Good Hair", a half-amusing, half-serious docudrama by Chris Rock, about an African American woman's search for straight hairdos, and finally, to round out the list there was "500 Days of Summer" -- a romance with a twist: "Man, She's a Dude!"Of her lack of feminine romatic tendencies because of "Man, she's a dude" was the line that sumed up Zoey Deschanel's chracter, as Summer.

The Bad:
In order to make changes to our ticket choices at the last minute, there are trips to the Patron Circle Office on a daily basis. Acquisition of these passes does not entitle you to attend any film you choose without a prepaid ticket.

We've walked out on some "stinkers". "Unmade Beds" was an example. We think it was about teen lust run wild in the United Kingdom, but it was so bad we couldn't sit through it to analyze the message. "The Carter" peered into the soul of a man bereft of humanity, who manages to make himself a success in life. The irony there was lost on the public. Finally, "Motherhood" was a true wreck of a film more resembling a bad sitcom for the casting department. We felt it was a total waste of Uma Thurman's amazing gifts, reducing her to the level of a grade B soap star. Surprises! Do you find this valuable?
