Tribeca - the rest of the movies

This is the rest my Tribeca film post that I never finished.

I didn't see a single award winner, but I did enjoy quite a few movies. Only one was an outright mistake... Most of these were in other languages (English, Dutch/Turkish, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, and Korean, Spanish/French) so I spent a lot of time reading subtitles.

• Hotel Gramercy Park - documentary about the hotel and prob my fav out of all the below.
• Bart Got a Room - Cheryl Hines, william H. Macy - prom night gone wrong.
• Yonkers Joe - another Chaz P. NY story but good. Almost literally smacked into Chaz P as we both turned the same corner.
• A Bronx Tale - okay, this is a replay, but Robert De Niro and Chaz P were on-hand to discuss after.
• Fighter - Turkish girl living in Denmark wants to study Kung Fu but parents won't let her.
• Three Kingdoms - based on one character from the epic book out of China.
• Miky Way Liberation Front - quirky korean flick, just supporting the director.
• The Aquarium - this was the boring mistake.
• The Chicken, The Fish and the King Crab - documentary about the spanish team going to the Bocuse d'Or food competition.
• Simple Things - about a russian anesthetist and bad stuff happens to him.
• Bitter and Twisted - sad and heavy movie about grief.
• Lost Indulgence - call girl gets taken care of by the wife/son of her lover who died.
• Universe of Keith haring - doc on the artist and his legacy.

Plus I saw XXY which was not part of the festival, but was playing nearby and really interesting all the same. It is a coming of age story of a 15yr hermaphrodite living in Venezuela (or Brazil). And I skipped 3 of my movies out of sheer exhaustion. I had wanted to see so many more, but alas, I had to work. A bunch of my friends saw the Run for Your Life movie (without me). Everyone agreed that Marathon the Movie was better (that I did see).

I also saw a small handful of D-list celebrities which was kinda fun. I'm not the star-struck type, but cool to see what some of these people look like in real life. Overall a fun NY event.
