The 2014 Sundance Film Festival wrapped up last week and there appear to be many films to be excited about it. The big winner was writer-director Damien Chazelle's Whiplash. The film opened the fest and carried its successful first screening all the way to the Grand Jury and Audience Prizes for Best Dramatic Film. The film stars Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons, and revolves the intense relationship between a percussion teacher and his student who wants to become a great jazz drummer. I am just going to make a list of all the films that I am looking forward to seeing. Apologize for being late on this post, but busy, busy, busy outside of blogging. Moving is no fun. Enjoy.
