I'm a pretty big fan of Indie films or films that don't get much attention and a pretty big fan of Sundance Films since most of them usually end of being better than mainstream...actually scratch that let's just generalize and say all of them. But here are two that have caught my attention and what's really interesting about them is that they actually have some big names in them from Natalie Portman to Kay Panabaker, the star of No Ordinary Family (love love love it!). This isn't the first time Sundance Films have attracted big names, just look at The Kids Are Alright, which received nominations for both the Golden Globes and the Oscars and had actresses Julianne Moore and Annette Bening.
I am not exactly sure how I feel about this film. For some reason it kind of reminds me of Juni, maybe because both films have Rainn Wilson. Or maybe it's the fact that Natalie Portman even kind of looks like Ellen Page, minus the whole pregnant thing...oh wait she's pregnant in real life, but not actually in the movie. Despite my mixed feelings based on the trailer any movie with Natalie Portman (who right now can do now wrong) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is worth seeing in my book.
The other film that has caught my eye is Little Birds, starring Kay Panabaker, Juno Temple (who was in Atonement) and Kate Bosworth is actually in it. Here's a link to a short article about the film and an interview with the director.
