In just a few days the 2010 Sundance Film Festival will kick off. There are countless flicks on offer during the eleven day festival, but here's a sneak peek at ten of the must-sees. And, be sure to stay tuned as we update throughout the festival!
It feels like forever since we've seen Ryan Gosling on the big screen and I can't wait to see him play opposite Michelle Williams in this romance about the relationship of a married couple over time.
Can Ryan Reynolds do more than just romantic comedies? That's what I'm hoping to find out in Buried, the super heavy indie flick about a US contractor who is buried alive in Iraq.
With a cast that includes Orlando Bloom, Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo, how could I not be interested in Sympathy For Delicious? The plot follows a DJ who turns to faith healing after he's left paralysed. What really captures my intrigue, though, is that the film marks Ruffalo's directorial debut.
Speaking of first-time directors, Josh Radnor (better known as How I Met Your Mother's Ted Mosby) takes a turn behind the camera in HappyThankYouMorePlease. The film follows six New Yorkers as they deal with love and growing up, which sounds like something most of us can relate to.
My unabashed love for Joseph Gordon-Levitt is enough for Hesher to capture my attention. A far cry from (500) Days of Summer's Tom, JGL plays a greasy-haired, tatted up loner whose life changes when he meets a 13-year-old boy.
I don't know about you, but I'm a little bit over James Franco's guest spots on TV — which is why I'm looking forward to seeing him take on Allen Ginsburg in Howl. Franco's already proved that he's got the acting chops, so I can't wait to see him back to showing them off in another important role.
They may not have had many scenes together in New Moon, but Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart team up for a second time in The Runaways. Whether or not the film is a hit, these ladies will definitely get people to the cinema—but I'm more interested in seeing whether or not they can actually hack it as rockers.
The teaser for The Company Men doesn't give very much away—but it's enough to whet my appetite for the drama about three corporate employees who are dealing with a major downsizing. With Up in the Air on the brain, will it be able to compete as a timely social and economic commentary?
Even as he heads into his golden years, I'll always have a soft spot for Bill Murray. Throw in legendary actors Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek, and you can bet I'll be grabbing a seat for this film about a hermit living in Tennessee in the 1930s.
A late addition to the Sundance lineup, The Romantics follows seven friends who are reunited for a wedding. It sounds kind of like The Big Chill without the funeral, and I'm excited about the hodgepodge cast, which includes Katie Holmes, Adam Brody and Dianna Agron.
