DARLA IN SPACE
A woman who makes cat coffins end up with an astronomical tax bill and has to do something to get herself out of trouble,
Quirky comedy has some truly wonderful moments in it, but the over all silliness and insistence on being over the top works against it. Too much of the film requires us to simply go with what is happening because the filmmakers are saying so rather than it makes any sort of internal sense (How did she get a 300 grand tax bill?). If you can go along you'll love it.
This wasn't my cup of tea.
THE WASHER
A man discovers his washer causes things to happen every time he uses it. Performing experiments he tries to see what it can do.
I'm not sure what I think of this film. Add it to the list of weird science films that are intriguing but where to place it on the list I'm not certain. Blame it on my not being certain the film pulls it all together. Yes it's weird but beyond that I don't know.
On the other hand, I think my reaction is the result of main lining too many films in the closing days of Slamdance. I am planning on revisiting away from the festival crush.
BIKE VESSEL
Portrait of director Eric Seal and his dad as they ride from St Louis to Chicago. 20 years ago Eric's dad was near death with health problems. Changing his life and becoming a bicycler he has outlived expectations.
Wonderful gem of a film needs to be seen. Despite looking like many other docs, the film rises above the rest because buried in it is a heart and soul that bleeds off the screen thanks to the wonderful people at it's center.
See this film
