One of my favorite documentaries I saw at Sundance 2012 was The Imposter, about Frédéric Bourdin, known as “The Chameleon”, who successfully pretended he was a 16 year old missing boy and was brought home to a Texas family back in 1997. It’s a fascinating nearly-unbelievable doc (read my review) about how this guy could convince authorities and this entire family that he really was their missin [read more]

One of my favorite late-fest discoveries at Sundance 2012 was The End of Love, a film directed/written by, and starring, Mark Webber and his 2-year-old son. It’s a beautiful film about a single father trying to raise a son, and the way Webber captures the connection and dialogue he has with his real boy is incredible. You may recognize Webber from any number of acting roles, as the “Talent” in Sc [read more]

While HBO has followed the case of The West Memphis 3 throughout three different documentary films, it’s director Amy Berg (Deliver Us from Evil) and producers Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh who have delivered the definitive chronicle of a tragic misstep in our country’s justice system. West of Memphis starts at the very beginning with the murders of Christopher Byers, Steven Branch and Michael Moore in [read more]

Hopefully our video blog has already convinced some of you to check out Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie as the film is now available to rent on iTunes, YouTube and VOD right now (with a theatrical release coming in March), but now you can hear more about the film from Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim themselves as I sat down and interviewed the comedic duo during the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Tim and E [read more]
