It’s all over. I’ve spent 8 days in Park City, Utah covering the Sundance Film Festival for the readers of ShockYa.com. I have seen about 27 movies in that time and there will be more movie reviews coming out. Surprisingly, just seeing 27 movies isn’t enough, there were a lot of movies I didn’t get to see like “The Raid,” “Wuthering Heights” or “The Imposter.” These were just some of the movies that were on my list but were unable to be seen by me due to my hectic scheduling, freezing cold weather (there were two blizzards) and the need for sleep (I averaged about 5 hours a night). But in the end, the festival is finally over and the jury awards were given out to some really great movies. I’ll see you next year Park City!!
