This is one of the more intruiging titles here at Sundance and offered
no star power. It is in the running for the Audience Award and
definitely is a contender. Douchebag is about two brothers who hate
eachother, for reasons unknown to the viewer until nearly the end, and
their roadtrip to find the younger brothers childhood girlfriend. The
lead role is played by first time actor Andrew Dickler, who is also
the films editor. The older brother starts out as the likeable one but
shortly into the second act the roles reverse and it's the younger
brother who is really the good one. We follow their antics, well, the
older brothers, as they attempt to locate the yougers childhood
girlfriend. We find the definition of douchebag in his actions on at
least three occasions during their trip. This movie was shot on film
but was intermixed with digital which created a very good viewing
experience. Overall this movie is a definite contender for the
audience award. This is a definite repeat view for me.

Get Low
Get Low is a period piece set in the 1920's. It stars Robert Duvall,
Sissy Spaceck and Bill Murray. It is about a hermit who wants to have
a funeral for himself while still alive as a means of airing long time
trauma. Performance from Duvall is as top notched as you would expect
and just as grizzled! Sissy Spaceck is underutilized but offers an
essential piece to the ensemble cast. Bill Murray is great and offers
the only comic relief in this morbid toned movie. This movie is
similar in tone to the Paul Newman "Road to Perdition" but with none
of the violence. I highly recommend this movie.

Uncle Bukakke special conversation
Uncle B: Having lunch next to malin akerman (chick from watchmen). What should I say to her??????
PimpD: "Hi I'm uncle b. I love your work. Can I get you a drink?" or "Hi, I'm uncle b, and I'm mormon, so I don't really have a secret desire to fuck your asshole, but I'm branching out, of late, and was curious if I could maybe suck your tits after lunch? My car might be a good venue. Because then I can finger your taint and rub it on my nipples." "I didn't like the Watchmen, but if you like Watchingmen ejaculate, then I think we should hang out in the bathroom ASAP.""I am a Doctor of Cunt. This is your lucky day.". Then hand her a knife.
Uncle B: Dude love the second to last one. It worked!!!! Lol. Hahahahah.
PimpD: Order her a glass of milk, and tell the waiter to say that it's from you. When it arrives, "Hi, I just saw Pee Wee Herman at the Nokia Theater. He did this awesome bukkake trick to all of us in the front row. I'll show you right now." Then pour milk on her tits.
Uncle B: Hahahahahahaah. Awesome!!!!!
PimpD: "Have you ever seen hot snowflakes before? It sounds impossible, but they really exist, I swear." Then unzip your pants.
Uncle B: Cyrano de Sarno. This is awesome. Gonna test some of this shit out. She is so hot dude. I am in love. Tighest fitting snow outfit I have ever seen.
PimpD: Ok, you want serious advice?
Uncle B: But ur watchmen comment has me on the floor. I told my buddy who is likewise laughing out of control. We are making asses out of ourselves. Yes. Serious too. Lol.
PimpD: Tell her "I'm a huge fan, and frankly, I love you kinda. Would you take a picture with me?" Is she with a dude?
Uncle B: Alone. But adam brody is here too at her table "making time" with her and is a cock-block at the moment.
PimpD: I'm lookin at her now - she's super hot$ Go up to both of them, and say, "the faggot convention is over now, so when you're done talking to him, I'll be right over there. Thanks."

Buried
As it turns out the hype was correct! Ryan Reynolds kept the story
going confined in a wooden coffin. Every persons basic fear of
confined spaces and being buried alive was demonstrated in this film.
Limited to a dying cell phone, Reynold's character was able to
transition through the basic phases of death - fear, denial, hope, and
acceptance. The writer didn't even play into the conventional
Hollywood equation of jumping the shark at the end. The film left the
viewer in a confined space much like the coffin and though did not
have the expected endig was still satisfying!
