AIN’T THEM BODIES SAINTS
Casey Affleck plays a husband who takes the blame for the shooting of a police officer to cover up for his
wife (Rooney Mara). Four years into his sentence, he escapes and attempts to find his wife and daughter
he’s never met. This movie takes its sweet old time, but there's something haunting about it that sticks.

THE SPECTACULAR NOW
Sundance
is kind
of like
watching
a large
group
of minor
league
baseball
players
vie for a
shot at
the major
leagues.”
The Spectacular Now is the follow-up movie for screenwriters
Michael Weber and Scott Neustadter, who once wrote a movie you
most likely saw called (500) Days of Summer. The Spectacular
Now is about a high school senior (Miles Teller) who seems to be the
king of the world, but who has no real plans for the future and may
be turning into an alcoholic — until he meets a sci-fi nerd played,
improbably enough, by Shailene Woodley.

THE
EAST
The late
Tony Scott
(that is still
strange to
type) produced this
film about a
group of anarchists who
target bigbusiness
leaders,
forcing them
to ingest
whatever
dangerous
products
they happen to be in
charge of
manufacturing. Zal
Batmanglij
(The Sound
of My Voice)
directs this
story of a
former FBI
agent (Brit
Marling)
who infiltrates
this group
(called “The
East”), only
to wind up
questioning
her own motivations.
