Day Nine: Austin, Texas

The final day of the Ad-Hoc Austin Film Festival came together with three pictures: Criminal, Kill Bill, Volume 1, and Session 9.

Of these three, Session 9 gets special mention. It's a creepy-as-hell psych thriller/horror flick about five guys hired to remove asbestos from an abandoned mental hospital (Danvers, in Massachussets -and the film is shot on location). Released in 2001, the film did virtually no business (just 30 screens and about $400,000 in domestic grosses), which is a shame - it's a gem. Like The Blair Witch Project, Sesssion 9 makes outstanding use of atmosphere and menacing situations. Rent it.

So, tomorrow (Wednesday) is a travel day (my flight leaves reeeeeeeally early in the morning, CST). And then the Storm play Phoenix at Key Arena at 7 PM Pacific. It's going to be a long (good) day.

MBA, year two starts on Thursday.
(Looks like the vacation is over.)
