Here I was, ready to write off 2009 movie-wise with the (hopeful?) exception of Watchmen.

Looks like this years Sundance Film Festival has quite a bit to say about that.

The lineup for the most-prestigious film festival in indie filmmaking is looking good, with the Charlyne Yi-Michael Cera psuedo-bio pic Paper Hearts, the John Krasinski (that’s Jim from the Office) directed adaptation of Brief Interviews With Hideous Men, and most surprisingly, the Patton Oswalt starring Big Fan, which features Oswalt as a HUGE Giants fan who deals with the fall out when he gets beat up by his favorite player.

I guess indie filmmaking will make ‘09 as worthwhile as the big blockbusters did this past year.  I hope.

Hey, Jami!  Are you going this year?
