SXSW Day 8: Friday

So, I skipped The Lather Effect earlier, but I knew that I had another chance to check it out. So, first things first, over to The Paramount. The description for this movie was kinda vague, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It ended up being very reminiscent of those wonderful 80s John Hughes films. [...]

SXSW Day 7: Thursday

So, since Wednesday was the first day of the music part of the festival, I should have anticipated a flux of traffic on Thursday, but I did not. I was running a wee bit late, but that wasn’t considering the difficulty of finding some parking. All garages were full, and lots were like $20. It [...]

SXSW Day 5: Tuesday

I did my morning duty of work til 11am. Now, I didn’t have anything I just had to see first thing, so I decided to check out some shorts. I went over to Alamo Lamar to watch Reel Shorts 3.
I stuck around for The Devil Came on Horseback and was completely blown away. It is [...]

SXSW Day 4: Monday

I worked a half day at home from 7-11am. This was kind of annoying, cuz I just had my mind on the movies of the day. I’m having a blast with this, and I’ve now learned a valuable lesson. Do not let someone convince you to work when you’ve already requested the time off. Next [...]

SXSW Day 3: Sunday

Now, you’ll think I’m crazy, but I was really looking forward to this first film on Sunday. Without any help from Mike, we managed to get to Paramount just before Alan Cumming’s Suffering Man’s Charity. The main reason I wanted to see this was because David Boreanaz is in it and I have heard people [...]

SXSW Day 2: Saturday

My day began with an odd film at the Paramount– When A Man Falls in the Forest. I wanted to walk out of this movie about a third of the way through. I am glad I stayed, however, I still wouldn’t say it was something I would recommend. Dylan Baker portrays Bill, a peculiar janitor [...]

SXSW Day 1: Friday Night

I started my festival experience with The Lookout - directed by Scott Frank and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Jeff Daniels. JGL is Chris Pratt, a high school hockey star whose world is turned upside down. While out joy riding to see fireflies without headlights, he crashes into a stalled combine, killing two of his friends [...]

My Very First SXSW Film Festival

Being the film buff that I am, I have always wanted to attend the South By Southwest Film Festival, but have never been able to justify taking the vacation time. Well, I took the leap this year, and have bought a film pass. I’ve already attended 3 days of films, and I will write reviews [...]

just more whining

As if I needed another reason to dislike our current president…
What was he thinking when he decided to change our Daylight Saving Time? Because of this "little" change, my life has become pure crap.  I'm working 72 hour weeks because of this damn change. I would love to know how many BILLIONS of dollars a [...]
