In the middle of a long day of screenings, having just seen the documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (Really good...review coming soon) and gearing up for Stanley Tucci's Blind Date and then Jonathan Levine's The Wackness, which I've heard from one trusted source is also great! Already starting to fall behind on posting reviews but hope to have some up today, including one of Brad Anderson's crime-thriller Transsiberian, which I was last night at its Eccles premiere. (Long and short of it, Emily Mortimer is great, but the premise is somewhat obvious with excessive twists.)
After that, I went down to Main Street for an exclusive screening of the rock doc Counting in Fives about the British punk/noise band The Horrors, which was struck by a power outtage that hit all of Main Street, creating all sorts of chaos. (I noticed that yesterday, the first day of the festival, was more chaotic than normal with shuttle buses malfunctioning and getting lost. (No kidding, I actually was on a shuttle that took a wrong turn and couldn't figure out how to get back on its proper route.) Traffic yesterday was also particularly nasty, really screwing up a lot of people's plans. Hopefully, the kinks will be worked out and things will get easier, especially since my schedule is getting much busier in the next few days.
As far as later today, I'm hoping to get to the premiere of Barry Levinson's What Just Happened? also at the Eccles this evening, which should be similarly mobbed, and hopefully I'll have some time to write reviews in between. (I'm also interviewing Tucci and his co-star Patricia Clarkson for their movie in between everything else, which means at least one trip down to Main Street.)
