Though I haven't posted any reviews here for the past few days, I haven't been slacking. I've been busy watching movies and writing for another outlet. The styles between the sites are sufficiently different that my brain has fried a bit whenever I try and switch back to "Twitch" mode. Never fear, however; I hope to catch up soon. In the meantime, with one screening left for me today, here are my favorites out of the 24 I've seen so far:

1. Dreams of Sharp Teeth Loving, very funny portrait of a provocative writer.
2. Dance of the Dead Blood-spattered, loose-limbed and hilarious high school zombie flick.
3. The Promotion Subtly penetrating view of American life that's also quite amusing.
4. Natural Causes Snapshots from one relationship's rise and fall.
5. Shot in Bombay Panoramic, behind the scenes stories of an Indian crime thriller.
6. Wesley Willis' Joyrides The offputting, oft-brilliant life of a unique artist/musician.

Austin has a fantastic downtown, and the SXSW venues are very nice -- most outstandingly the Alamo Ritz -- but all that walking has been killing me. More to come as I recover in the days ahead.
