John Doe’s picks from Sundance 2012

Highlights from the 2012 Sundance Film Festival

Apologies but we have another space filler episode here on JDM. John Doe is still not in a place to regularly post, but refuses to surrender his domain to the ‘Inactive Blogs” archive…Hang tight kids, John Doe will return in 2012.

Looking like a cross between Heathers and Teeth, Excision should be a good time. Watch the Teaser Trailer below.



Now that the sun has danced over the horizon on that Robert Redford film festival JD thought he would briefly share a few of the titles from the line up that made it onto his keep-an-eye-out-for-in-cinemas list.

By no means definitive, just an overview of some snapshots that stuck in Johnny's memory. Feel free to share your comments on the festival below. (For more information just click on each title which is linked to its corresponding imdb page.

John Doe’s favourite 10 Films of 2010

valhalla rising, vikings, best foreign films, nicolas wendig meyer
Defeating the foreign gauntlet with a transporting journey into the dark ages.


After another extended absence from JDM it seems apt to return with a slightly belated but hopefully still relevant list of John Doe’s favourite films of the past year. 2010 was a shaky 12 months for the Doe and JDMfilmreviews suffered for it. Continued struggles with assimilating to a new culture and the constant quest for employment saw some major personal sacrifices…tragically most of them cinematic. Aside from being unable to maintain the writing habit many releases were sadly missed. (See the footer of this post for a few examples.) JD hopes to catch up on those soon.

Deaths seem to come in three’s, but in Hollywood two bullets in the chamber trigger’s the Russian roulette process for dueling projects. Infamous vs Capote, Tombstone vs Wyatt Earp, Deep Impact vs Armageddon, there is an extensive list of studio pictures that were inspired by the same source, subject or event and raced for the earliest release date.
