LET’S DANCE!
Article by Adam Mast
The 2015 Sundance Film Festival is still about two months out but it’s never too early to start planning for one of the biggest film fests in the world. Besides, if you want tickets, you have no choice but to start planning now. Why? Because acquiring tickets to Sundance screenings in advance can be quite a daunting task. Ticket demand is so high at this iconic festival, that pre-registration is required, and even if you do get a decent buy time for tickets (once you register, you are given a random buy time), there is no guarantee that you’ll get the tickets you’re after. Still, it’s all well worth the effort. Registration is an easy process and it also happens to be free.
Just CLICK HERE between now and December 5th, and follow the steps.
Premieres, documentaries, short films, foreign films, low budget films, kids films, midnight movies, film-making seminars, etc. The Sundance Film Festival offers up a little something for the most passionate of movie goers.
I never miss it! In fact, I’ve been attending Sundance for 21 glorious years and I’ve been covering for various news outlets (including Cinemast.net, The Independent, and Zboneman.com) for 15 of those 21 years. If you’re a movie fan, you need to attend at least once in your life. It is, quite simply, an exhilarating cinematic experience. Last year’s fest produced many of 2014’s very best films (WHIPLASH, THE RAID 2, COLD IN JULY, THE BABADOOK, BOYHOOD, ALIVE INSIDE, and RUDDERLESS among others), and it’s safe to say that 2015’s line-up, which is expected to be unveiled in December, will also feature plenty of movies well worth talking about.
Sundance prides itself on the ushering in of new and exciting film-making talent. It has served as a spring board for numerous writers and directors including Steven Soderbergh, Todd Solondz, Christopher Nolan, Bryan Singer, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, and Kevin Smith, just to name a precious few.
Perhaps the coolest aspect to Sundance is finding that rare diamond in the rough. There isn’t a lot of pre-Sundance buzz because the majority of the films in competition have never been screened for the public. Simply put, you the attendee are responsible for creating the buzz. Of course, if you’re interested in seeing higher profile films with recognizable faces, Sundance has plenty of such films to offer as well. Like I said, a little something for everyone.
So, if you’re a true movie fan and don’t mind the cold, The Sundance Film Festival is the cinematic adventure of a life time. Come on out and see for yourself.

HERE’S A LOOK BACK AT MY EPIC COVERAGE FROM THE 2014 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL (January, 2014)
THE 2014 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL: BEST OF FEST!
By Adam Mast
Sundance 2014 was a bit of a milestone for me. Not only was it the 30th anniversary of the iconic fest, but it also happened to be my 20th consecutive year attending. Not to be outdone, I managed to take in a whopping 41 screenings in 10 short days. Insane, I know. While it was exhausting, it was also an incredibly magical experience. The general consensus amongst many of the attendees I spoke to during the fest, was that there wasn’t a break out hit this year. I suppose that’s all a matter of perception. From where I was sitting, this might have been the most consistent Sundance in recent memory. Of the 41 films I took in, there were a few I thought were mediocre and only one that I straight up disliked. The majority of this year’s massive crop of films ranged from good to great. Again though, this is simply one crazed movie fan’s opinion. Art is, after all, completely subjective. Before getting to my thoughts, let it be noted that Sundance is about so much more than just watching movies. Sundance is also about connecting. It’s about meeting like minded people and sharing your thoughts with one another. And what a wide range of folks I had an opportunity to talk to! Not only did I bump into a handful of online writers whom I greatly admire (Devin Faraci of Badassdigest.com, Drew McWeeny of Hitfix.com, Eric Vespe of Aint-it-cool-news.com, Matt Goldberg of Collider.com, Alex Billington of Firstshowing.net, Steve “Frosty” Weintraub of Collider.com, and Peter Sciretta of Slashfilm.com just to name a few) but I also found myself engaged in amazing conversations with folks I had only just met for the first time. Take the final night of the fest, for instance. I was fortunate enough to have an insightful chat with screenwriter/Slamdance volunteer Conor Holt. While wait listing for a midnight movie, we talked about everything from our pure love of sci-fi to our mutual admiration for Christopher Nolan. Throughout the ten day fest I had many amazing conversations with countless individuals. Some were industry types while others were simply random film admirers looking to make a cinematic connection. This is to say nothing of the numerous film-makers I was fortunate enough to chat with (“The Raid 2” director Gareth Evans, “Rudderless” screenwriter Jeff Robison, “Alive Inside” director Michael Rossato-Bennett, etc.) Sundance 2014 was simply an overwhelming experience but it was overwhelming in the best ways humanly possible. In fact, the fest was so spectacular, so involving, and so inspiring, that I’m not even upset that I missed the opportunity to meet Steven Spielberg (in house for a screening Jake Paltrow’s “Young Ones”) and Christopher Nolan (On hand as a special guest speaker at Slamdance.) I was so enthralled by the folks I was meeting and the films I was experiencing, that the stuff I missed out on didn’t really seem to matter all that much. As previously stated, I managed to take in 41 screenings. Here’s a look at my “Top 10 Best of Fest” in alphabetical order. “The Best of List” is followed by a brief look at all the rest. Enjoy;
ALIVE INSIDE — Grade: A-
This compassionate documentary from director Michael Rossato-Bennett follows social worker Dan Cohen as he sets out to use music therapy as a way to better the lives of Alzheimer’s patients. With so much time, money, and effort going into the manufacturing of drugs in this country, it seems that the simple act of touching the human spirit has been forgotten . Cohen is looking to change that and as “Alive Inside” so beautifully illustrates, it looks as if he’s found the key. This simple but stunning film is not only inspirational, it’s further proof that one man can make a difference. Kudos to Cohen for his efforts and to Bennett and his film-making team for helping this committed social worker get his message out there. The mere sight of joy on these patients’ faces as Cohen plays tunes from their past, is enough to melt even the biggest cynic’s cold heart. “Alive Inside” includes interviews with Oliver Sacks–the physician who inspired Penny Marshall’s 1990 film, “Awakenings”. At press time, “Alive Inside” had just won the Audience Choice Award but for whatever reason, the film has yet to be picked up for distribution. Given the difference this film has already made at facilities throughout the country, I trust it’s only a matter of time before everyone gets a chance to see this wonderful film.
A look at “Alive Inside”;
THE BABADOOK — Grade: B+
Leave it to an Aussie to deliver the strongest film in Sundance’s legendary midnight movie category. Jennifer Kent has fashioned an old school, spook alley horror film that relies on tone and brilliant sound design rather than shock value and gore. “The Babadook” might be derivative of landmark thriller/horror works like “The Shining”, “The Exorcist”, “Carrie”, “Ju-on”, “Creepshow”, “Prince of Darkness”, “Poltergeist”, “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, and “The Twilight Zone”, but it still manages to carve out an identity all its own thanks to Kent’s solid execution. This tale of a single mom trying to recover from a gut wrenching tragedy, is creepy and intense. As the story progresses, this woman and her troubled son are haunted by the pages of an unsettling pop-up book called “The Babadook”. But this movie isn’t just about things that go bump in the night. This horror show is also about a woman trying to get past the grieving and anger that consumes her life. “The Babadook” is one of the best horror films I’ve seen in a while.
A look at “The Babadook”;
BOYHOOD — Grade: A-
Richard Linklater’s “Boyhood” is a sprawling epic about life. A 12-years-in-the-making cinematic experience seen through the eyes of a child making his way towards that crazy thing called adulthood. “Boyhood” begins with Mason (wonderfully played by Ellar Coltrane) as a young boy and chronicles 12 years of his life. Through it all, Mason witnesses the separation of his parents (played by Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette), his mother’s dealings with a handful of loser boyfriends, his father’s new beginning, and the meaning of his own existence. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect to this picture is that Linklater doesn’t change out any of the actors in the piece. As audience members, we see these characters (and the actors who play them) grow over the course of a dozen years, and this makes for quite a unique and moving motion picture experience. “Boyhood” is brimming with humor, and it steers clear of melodramatic tear-jerking manipulation. It’s all fittingly low-key because, sometimes, that’s life. Granted, had any of the actors in this film died during the course of the 12-year production, the movie might have turned out decidedly different. At nearly 3 hours long, “Boyhood” may seem over bloated to some but since this is a look at 12 years in the lives of these characters, the film’s running time is appropriate. There’s never a moment wasted. Overall, the improvisational flow of the words give this epic movie a lived-in feel similar to the vibe at the heart of Linklater’s “Before” series. This is a special movie. Ambitious, wise and observant. “Boyhood” demands to be seen.
A look at “Boyhood”;
CALVARY — Grade: B+
From writer/director John Michael McDonagh (“The Guard”), comes this hard-hitting dark comedy about a priest (played by a stellar Brendan Gleeson) whose life is threatened in a confessional. The week that follows the threat finds Gleeson’s Father James Lavelle verbally sparring with the rather unlikable assortment of colorful folk who live in his sleepy little Irish town. Might one of these men be the individual who threatened him during confession? You’ll have to watch the movie to have that question answered. “Calvary” is dark! One moment it’s making you laugh, and the next moment, it’s hitting you over the head with a hammer! Through it all, the performances are first-rate (most notably Gleeson, M. Emmet Walsh and Chris O’Dowd.), and the story of redemption at the heart of the picture cuts deep. “Calvary” is an edgy take on religion and faith, and while there’s plenty of irreverence to be found throughout, there’s a serious tone at the core of “Calvary”. John Michael McDonagh is one of the most exciting writers working today and his “Calvary” is a great film.
A look at “Calvary”;
COLD IN JULY — Grade: A-
If I had to pick a single favorite film from Sundance 2014, it would probably be “Cold in July” and with movies like “The Raid 2”, “Boyhood”, and “Whiplash” making strong impressions, that’s a bold statement. Based on the novel by the brilliant Jon R. Lansdale, this adaptation comes to life through the magic of Jim Mickle, who, with only a few features under his belt (“Mulberry Street,” “Stake Land” and “We Are What We Are”), has quickly emerged as a major talent. With shades of “History of Violence,” this gripping movie tells the story of Texan Richard Dane (played by Michael C. Hall of “Dexter” fame). This mild mannered frame maker finds his life in an upheaval after a home burglary goes horribly wrong. The aftermath of the burglary sets off a chain reaction of unpredictable events. The less you know about “Cold in July” going in, the better. Let’s just say that it goes in directions you probably won’t be expecting. This is a tense, violent, multi-layered noir thriller with unexpected twists and turns, big doses of humor, bursts of spontaneous violence, amazing performances, and a kick-ass John Carpenter-esque score. As Dane, Michael C. Hall sheds his “Dexter” persona and as an added bonus, he rocks the mullet and ‘stache like nobody’s business. Don Johnson is the personification of cool . As an old-school tough guy, Johnson oozes charm and likability. This is his best work in years, and his onscreen rapport with an equally effective Sam Shepard is spot-on. What a movie?! Following the screening, I was fortunate enough to shake Lansdale’s hand. I even mustered up the courage to say a few words to the author; “God bless you for BUBBA HO-TEP!” I got a great, big Cheshire cat grin from the famed writer for that comment. I’m pretty confident that “Cold in July” will find a spot on my “Best of” list come the end of the year.
A look at “Cold in July”;
LIFE ITSELF — Grade: A-
Director Steve James knows Roger Ebert all too well. In fact, he credits the famed Chicago based critic for helping start his career. Back in 1994, James had an exceptional documentary playing the film festival circuit. That doc was “Hoop Dreams”. Ebert and his “At the Movies” co-host Gene Siskel raved about this film on their popular television program and that review helped propel “Hoop Dreams” to heights it might not have reached otherwise. All these years later, James had an opportunity to return the favor by paying tribute to a man who meant a great deal to him. Thus, “Life Itself” was born. This heartfelt (and heartbreaking) documentary is not only a tribute to Ebert the critic. It’s also a tribute to Ebert the man. This beautiful picture traces Ebert’s life from his humble beginnings to his bout with the grave illness that would ultimately take his life. “Life Itself” is about a man who loved cinema but this is also a picture overflowing with humanity. Even at the end, with his loving wife Chaz by his side, this iconic man maintained a sharp wit and an incredible sense of humor. Steve James has done this cinematic treasure proud with the exceptional “Life Itself”. This is a documentary that every movie fan needs to see.
A look at “Life Itself”;
THE RAID 2: BERNADAL — Grade: A-
“The Godfather Part II,” “The Empire Strikes Back,” “Toy Story 2,” “Aliens,” “Evil Dead II,” “The Dark Knight,” etc. You can throw “The Raid 2: Berandal” on to the list of all-time great sequels. Yes, it’s that good! “The Raid 2” picks up right where the first movie left off. A worn down Rama (Iko Uwais) is all but forced by law enforcement to infiltrate and hopefully bring down a ruthless mob family. If he is to keep his own wife and child safe, he has no other choice but to comply. So, Rama is sent to prison, undercover, where he bonds with a mobster’s volatile son in an effort to gain the family’s trust. This sets the entire martial arts-filled epic into motion. The first film took place in a rundown high-rise controlled by an army of thugs. As with “Die Hard,” the action was contained, and this gave the movie a claustrophobic sensibility. Rather than repeating himself, the brilliant Gareth Evans maintains his furious, uber-violent, hyper-kinetic style, but he opts to expand his universe. He trades in the isolated nature of the first picture for a massive multi-location crime saga with shades of “The Godfather.” Clearly, Evans is creating a reason to mount some of the greatest fight sequences ever committed to film, but “The Raid 2” transcends its actioneer trappings by giving us a deeper story. Yes, this is a bigger movie than its predecessor (which, by the way, was pretty damn great), but it’s also better in a myriad of ways. The way Evans’ camera glides in and out of the action is masterful, and the introduction of new (and colorful) characters like Hammer Girl (played by the gorgeous Julie Estelle) and Baseball Bat Man (played by an intense Very Tri Yulisman) takes the film to a higher level. There are other intriguing characters thrown into the mix as well (the incredible Yayan Ruhian – who played the terrifying Mad Dog in the first picture – is the quiet but deadly Prakoso.) Like all great crime sagas, “The Raid 2” delves into grand themes of family and betrayal and holding it all together is a stoic, kick-ass Rama (played by a stoic, kickass Uwais). What a talent this guy is! “The Raid 2” is relentlessly violent, but I can only hope the MPAA leaves this picture alone. There’s a beauty to the carnage that would make Woo and Peckinpah proud. You’d think that at a whopping two-and-a-half hours, “The Raid 2” would outstay its welcome. It doesn’t. While it could be argued that the plot simply exists to serve the relentless action, there is balance here. In fact, Evans has fashioned such an elaborate plot that Rama tends to get lost in his own movie. Happily, though, Evans and a charismatic Uwais remind us that this is, in fact, Rama’s show by way of a series of spectacularly conceived brawls that I’ll never forget. “The Raid 2” has it all! Be it the spectacular prison riot, the brutal “hammer time” sequence or the adrenalin pumping car chase through the streets of Indonesia, this film simply does not let up! Evans has established himself as a truly gifted storyteller – and it goes beyond his deft ability to stage relentlessly manic action. This is an actioneer at heart, but there’s quite a bit more to it. Props to Evans and his dedicated team. They have truly outdone themselves with this landmark action picture. “The Raid 2” is a dramatic, exhausting, breathless, exhilarating, blood-soaked masterpiece. One that I plan on re-visiting as soon as possible.
A look at “The Raid 2”;
RUDDERLESS — Grade: B+
There were several music inspired films at Sundance this year and while “Whiplash” was certainly the best of the lot, I have a ton of love for “Rudderless” as well. Directed by the wonderful William H. Macy (who also appears in the film), “Rudderless” tells the story of a grieving father (beautifully played by Billy Crudup) on a downward spiral who is able to re-connect with his deceased son through the power of music. Anton Yelchin plays a sweet natured twenty-something who convinces Crudup to join him on stage at a local open mic night and before long, this seemingly odd duo form a band and quickly become the talk of the town. Macy’s warm personality comes through in his direction and while much of this picture put a great big smile on my face, the screenplay by Jeff Robison and Casey Twenter doesn’t shy away from going into some pretty rough terrain. “Rudderless” takes a devastating detour and I’m confident I can speak for a large portion of the audience when I say we were blindsided by the powerful direction this movie ultimately takes. No spoilers here, but I will say that by the end of this picture, there is an extra layer of complexity that takes “Rudderless” to a much deeper emotional level. This is a special movie and it uses music in a very organic way. It isn’t a musical in a traditional sense but it emerges as one of my favorite music inspired films since “Once”.
A look at “Rudderless”;
THEY CAME TOGETHER — Grade: B+
I don’t think 2014 will produce a funnier film than David Wain’s “They Came Together”. This hilarious comedy stars Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler as polar opposites (excuse the Poehler pun) who get set up on a blind date. Everything that could go wrong does go wrong on their way to the ultimate romance. Does this sound like every romantic comedy cliché you’ve ever heard of rolled up into one? It should because “They Came Together” is a drop dead hilarious parody of the modern romantic comedy. Wain is known for irreverent humor in his movies be it the throwback camp comedy “Wet Hot American Summer” or the raunchy bromance “Role Models”. “They Came Together” marks a bit of a departure for Wain because this movie fits more in the Mel Brooks or Zucker Brothers mold, and given that “Airplane!” is my all time favorite comedy, I immediately connected to this picture. Rudd is perfectly appealing in a skewer of the same kind of role he’s generally asked to play. Poehler is a riot in what might be best described as the Meg Ryan role. While this is a parody, Rudd and Poehler still manage to generate genuine chemistry and this only makes “They Came Together” even more effective. The title of the film suggests a flick that will be sexual in nature but “They Came Together” is actually far more tame than other R rated comedies as of late. What can I say? This is a comical winner of the highest order. I’ll be watching it again when it opens this June.
A look at “They Came Together”;
WHIPLASH — Grade: A-
This outstanding film takes its title from the famed jazz tune of the same name. A stellar Miles Teller (“Rabbit Hole,” “The Spectacular Now”) plays a passionate jazz drummer with aspirations of becoming one of the greats. A magnetic (and ripped) J.K. Simmons (“Juno,” “Spider-Man”) is the blowhard asshole who drives him. “Whiplash” is a story about what it takes to achieve the success you so desperately crave. There are times when this tense flick feels like a military film. With his insult slinging, obscenity spewing power plays, Simmons plays his abrasive role like a bald R. Lee Ermey. His methods are slightly unorthodox, but his end goal is to turn beginners with drive into masters of their craft…no matter what the cost. I questioned this character’s methods throughout the picture, but I never questioned Simmons’ decisions as an actor. This is a fierce, unapologetic performance. One of his very best. Likewise, Teller once again proves why he’s one of our strongest up-and-coming actors. Writer/director Damien Chazelle has fashioned a high-energy look at a young man consumed by a relentless drive to be the best at what he does…regardless of the sacrifices. A great movie capped off by a rousing, crowd-pleasing finale.

RETROSPECTIVES;

Sundance presented a screening of this hilariously quirky Wes Anderson freshman effort (starring Owen Wilson and his brother Luke) as part of a new category designed to showcase films that the festival committee was too brainless to accept the first time around.
CLERKS — Grade: B+
Kevin Smith attended Sundance this year to host a special 20th anniversary screening of his seminal slacker opus “Clerks”. Before the film, the director conducted one of his infamous Q&A’s. He indicated that “Clerks 3” will go in to production this April. In a stunning move, Mr. Smith was asked to marry a couple in the audience. As it turns out, the auteur is also an ordained minister of The Universal Life Church. The ceremony was a perfect beginning to a great night at the movies.
Another Sundance Film Festival is officially in the books. I hope you enjoyed this piece and with any luck, you’ll have an opportunity to see some of these films. Hopefully, you’ll like them as much as I did. Special thanks to the Sundance press office and the Sundance volunteer staff for their hard work and generosity. Kudos to my traveling partners Shayne Cullen and Jannell Medigovich for making the stay in Park City such a memorable one. Props to The Independent and Zboneman.com for posting my articles. And finally, much love and respect to my family for keeping it together while I was away.
