The Indie Film Topic
Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2008 7:56 pm
I decided to create a topic based on those small films that aren't released by a major studio and are usually only receive a limited release (though technically that comment about studios isn't really valid, since all the major studios have divisions for indie films -- i.e. Fox Searchlight, Paramount Vantage, Sony Pictures Classics, & Warner Independent Pictures).
I usually try to check out independent releases once a month and with this topic I mention all the films that I see (everyone else is free to do the same).
A few weeks ago, I went to see The Wackness, which was hyped to death on FirstShowing.net. I liked the film, but I doubt it was worth all the hype FirstShowing was giving.
I also recently saw Gonzo: The Life and Times of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. The film was good in terms of how documentaries go.
Films on the horizon that I want to see are Baghead, Hamlet 2, and Choke.
