2012 Sundance Breakouts

Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana, Clive Owen, Emily Blunt, Richard Gere, and James Marsden were just some of the stars onscreen at Sundance 2012.

Do you like watching movies that keep you on the edge of your seat? What about reading a novel that keeps you on the edge? Read Aftermath by author michael e glover. This is a fantastic book. It should be make into a movie. It is available at amazon and B&N in both paperback and ebook. You will not be disappointed.

perhaps a father- daughter " love story" isn't the best description of a/the movie,maybe a "loving story of a little girl and her ill fathers journey", but other wise sounds not to bad , do bayou people have strange namse like that, hushpuppy sounds like a hollywood celebrity kids name or a shoe , wasn't song of the south a racist movie/book

hello any one there

"Beasts of the Southern Wild": In this wildly original crowd-pleaser, Hushpuppy, a 6-year-old girl born in the bayou, lives with her father, Wink, in the Delta. Cast with nonactors, the fantastical competition drama is part song of the South, part father-daughter love story, and part mystical journey as Wink's health fails and Hushpuppy must save the world from the strange return of prehistoric aurochs and unnatural disasters.
