Sundance Dispatch #2: Life Support / The Pool

Today from Sundance, Adam and Sam recount the highs and lows of their third day at the festival, and, among other things, admit to being utterly confounded [again] by "Akira" director Katsuhiro Otomo. If the first couple of days of the festival were dominated by visually inventive, polically relevant films, Filmspotting's Day Three was defined by films more personal than political -- about characters arriving at single, life-altering revelations. Adam and Sam discuss debut directing efforts from Mike White ("School of Rock") and Nelson George ("The Chris Rock Show"), new films from Chris Smith ("American Movie") and Gina Kim, and stand-out performances by Queen Latifah, Vera Farmiga and Molly Shannon [yes, that Molly Shannon]. Plus, a few thoughts on the Oscar nominations announced earlier today.

Filmspotting is brought to you by Peerflix, a fun place to get movies for less.
