Robot and Frank is a must-see
What do you get when you cross an aging grumpy man with a caregiving robot? You get Robot & Frank, an adorable movie that came out of this year’s Sundance. I reviewed this film from the festival and I still believe it’s a must-see.

Stan Lee documentary picked up by Epix
With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story, pre-empted its showing at Slamdance (the alternative Park City film festival) by being picked up by EPIX. The documentary covers Lee’s life, from growing up during the Depression to becoming one the icon that he is today.

Sundance Wrap-up
So I have arrived home from Park City, Utah. We saw some great movies (Robot & Frank, That’s What She Said and Monsieur Lazhare) and one bad one (V/H/S). I guess 3 out of 4 isn’t too bad, right?

Monsieur Lazhar: my pick for best of Sundance
As previously noted, not every film one sees at Sundance is a winner. However, Monsieur Lazhar turned out to be the best movie I have seen in recent memory. Now nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, I cannot think of any film at this year’s film festival more deserving.

That’s What She Said loaded with the raunchy and funny
Our second Sundance film pick was That’s What She Said. Its description made it sound like a funny chick flick, but, boy, were we in for a surprise!

Robot and Frank not your typical buddy heist comedy
We chose Robot and Frank, one of my must-sees for our first feature length movie at Sundance. If this film is any indication, we are definitely off to a great start.

Rocking the Bing Bar with Jason Mraz
After breakfast today, which was free and delicious, we headed into Park City. I really had no idea what to expect. However, everyone we met was beyond friendly and helpful. The festival is very casual and laid back.

Sundance and Elvis
So what could the Sundance Film Festival have in common with Elvis? You would think nothing, wouldn’t you? Well, guess again! On our way to Park City, Utah, we had an Elvis sighting.
