Sundance Film Festival 2008 Movie Line up!

Sundance Film Festival 2008 will be here soon!

With television production virtually at a standstill and only few movies in production because of the Writers Guild of America strike, this is will be a breath of fresh air.

Here's a look at some of their movies that may eventually hit a theater or DVD.

"Smart People"

Sarah Jessica Parker, Dennis Quaid, Ellen Page and Thomas Haden Church star in this comedy about a professor (Quaid) whose well-managed life comes crashing down on him when his screwup brother (Church) pays a visit.

Verdict: Ellen Page and Thomas Haden Church were great in Juno and Sideways respectively, so this may be good.

"What Just Happened?"

Director Barry Levinson makes his first festival appearance with this comedy based on real-life producer Art Linson's accounts of the absurdity of working in Hollywood. Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis, Sean Penn and Catherine Keener star.

Verdict: Uhh, I didn’t even understand what I just read. But the supporting cast is great. I would see anything Keener is in.

"Sunshine Cleaning"

This highly sought-after comedy finds Amy Adams and Emily Blunt as two sisters who open a business to clean up the bloody messes left at crime scenes. Oscar winner Alan Arkin, of Sundance favorite "Little Miss Sunshine," co-stars.

Verdict: Interesting premise, but I am not sold on Amy Adams yet.

"Sleepwalking"

Charlize Theron produced and co-stars in this drama about a 12-year-old girl (AnnaSophia Robb) who escapes foster care with the aid of her uncle (Nick Stahl) and discovers the true reasons why her mother (Theron) abandoned her.

Verdict: Charlize Theron also gets juicy roles and I love her for it. Can’t wait to see this.

"The Great Buck Howard"

Tom Hanks produced and co-stars in this comedy about a law school dropout (Colin Hanks) who becomes the personal assistant to a has-been "mentalist" (John Malkovich) attempting a career comeback. Emily Blunt and Steve Zahn also star.

Verdict: I cringed when I saw Tom Hanks is starring in a film with his son (not a good sign usually), but if John Malkovich is in it, then it is sure to be somewhat entertaining.

"Incendiary"

Ewan McGregor and Michelle Williams star in this drama about the aftermath of a fictional terrorist bombing at a British soccer stadium.

Verdict: Huh? Terrorist movies are not even doing well and now they are making up stories about fake bombings?

Other flicks with famous names:

Josh Hartnett in "August," Felicity Huffman in "Phoebe in Wonderland," Naomi Watts in the American remake of "Funny Games," festival regular Paul Giamatti in "Pretty Bird," Luke Wilson in "Henry Poole Is Here," and Bruce Willis and Mischa Barton in "Assassination of a High School President."

Verdict: Felicity Huffman is a phenomenal actress, so might see that. The Funny Games remake sounded bad, but looks really, really good. And the title alone had me laughing at Assassination of a High School President.
