The demands of seeing films for this site, as well as to prepare for the interviews on the Daily Buzz, means watching A LOT of films from Sundance and Slamdance as quickly as I can fit them in. I’ll be reviewing most, maybe not all, but somehow, someway, be it on this site or on the Daily Buzz show, I’ll be weighing in on them. I’ll say right now – I’m REALLY looking forward to writing about Bill Watterson’s DAVE MADE A MAZE. That one has the early lead for favorite film I’ve seen here thus far.
