23 Buzz Films From Sundance 2009 | Black Dynamite

Section: Park City At Midnight
Director: Scott Sanders
Stars: Michael Jai White, Tommy Davidson, Arsenio Hall

What's It About? An affectionate spoof of 70s blaxploitation flicks, this stars White as a Shaft-style crusader who can't take no mo' after the murder of his brother, takin' his black ass on a roarin' rollercoaster rampage of revenge against none other than The Man (y'all).

Freddy vs Jason
What was wrong with Freddy vs Jason, yeah the teenagers were canon fodder & you don't care about them but it did what it said in the tin FREDDY VS JASON. At last we got to see two of the biggest baddest going head to head in a entertaining fight unlike other VERSUS franchise *ahem A vs P* It's also first & only time you see Jason getting a jumbo size can of whoop ass opened up on him (did you notice him crawling away when Freddy was slicing into his back) Isn't it "ki, ki, ... Read More

Main Man Black Dynamite!
I'm very surprised there hasn't been more coverage of Black Dynamite on this site. It's creating a lot of buzz elsewhere. Just to get things going, check out the trailer: http://www.blackdynamite.com/ Be warned, NSFW, but with a trailer this good, you can stick it to the Man! ... Read More

Shorts...
There's a short playing called 'James' which has won a couple of awards on other festival circuits. The guy who did this short this was his dissertation piece for the MA programme at Queens University last year-no one imagined that it would get this much attention! It's a lovely short about a young kid whose trying to come to terms with his sexuality and is unable to get any help or support. For the time and effort the director put into it it deserves some amount of recognition. ... Read More

500 Days Of Summer
Is the one for me although well over half of those films sound amazing! I always love learning of new under the radar films and Sundance surprises and amazes me every year and I will be sure to see all of these films before the year is out. But the No 1 for me is 500 Days Of Summer. I absolutely love Zooey Deschanel, she is incredible and Gordon Levitt is really coming into his own now with the brilliance if Brick and The Lookout and I have been excited about this film since I heard about it hal... Read More
