Good article in the New York Times about some of the films coming out of Sundance. It's nice to see Catherine Keener getting some work. She's in a film called, "Hamlet 2" that also features Elisabeth Shue playing herself. If that doesn't have high comedy written all over it, I don't know what does.

My friend Jackie was there for the weekend on business and caught a film that she passes along with high recommendations called "The Wackiness." Ben Kingsley's in it, along with Famke Janssen and Method Man. It's got a really odd plot. From IMDb:

Story, set in 1994, centers on a troubled teenage drug dealer and a drug-addled psychiatrist -- after the former trades pot for therapy sessions, then falls for the doctor's daughter.

It looks like there's some hope for the movie industry after all.
