  CODA 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Feb 2021

  My last Sundance movie of the festival. It was predictable and feel good, and I loved it.

  Prisoners of the Ghostland 2021

  ★★ Watched 31 Jan 2021

  I’m not sure what I just watched. That was a non-sensical disaster. A couple stars for laughing to the point of tears a couple times. And for the Jim Croce song.

  Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched 28 Jan 2021

  Sundance opens with this fantastic documentary about the Harlem Cultural Festival of 1969. Incredible artists perform at this free music and cultural festival - Stevie Wonder, Sly and the Family Stone, Nina Simone, Pop Staples - all of it recorded and never released. This is undoubtedly the most joy I will feel during Sundance. The dark, strange and obscure are sure to follow.

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Apr 2020

  Helluva redemption story. I really only knew about the dogs, not the details, not the person or where he came from and what he accomplished. I am a believer in second chances and I’m glad he got his. 
  If nothing else, watch this for Aunt Tina - she deserves her own show.
