Yesterday at Park City, the awards were handed out with one of the hotly buzzed titles of the festival taking two major prizes.
The intense drama Fruitvale won both the Audience Award and U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, which reminds of when Precious won both in 2009, a year before it went on to become a Best Picture Oscar nominee.
The Ryan Coogler‘s film tells the story of the hours leading up to New Year’s Day in 2009, when the 22-year-old Oscar Grant was pulled off a rowdy Bart train at the Fruitvale station and was shot in the back, dying from his wounds.
The former chairman of 20th Century Fox, Tom Rothman said when presenting the prize:
This will not be the last time you guys walk to a podium.
Well, this statement suggests that history may well be getting ready to repeat itself.

Ryan Coolger's "Fruitvale" and Steve Hoover's "Blood Brother" dominated the 2013 Sundance Film Festival awards! "Fruitvale," the true story of Oscar Grant, a 22-year old Bay Area resident shot in the back by Oakland transportation police, won the Grand Jury Prize (dramatic). Meanwhile, "Blood Brother," a documentary by Steve Hoover about Rocky Braat who went to India as a disillusioned American tourist and became an ally of children living with HIV/AIDS, took home the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary.
But what I'm very excited about is "Metro Manila" from BAFTA and Oscar-nominated director Sean Ellis. Shot in my homeland of the Philippines and using our dialect, Tagalog, entirely, "Metro Manila" is about Oscar Ramirez (Jake Macapagal) and his family who flee their impoverished life in the rice fields of the northern Philippines in order to seek a brighter future in Manila.

Avan isn't narrow.
Former Caprica actor Avan Jorgia (“Ben Stark” from the pilot) is spearheading a campaign for straight guys to stand-up and support their gay friends.
He tells On Top Magazine:
We are a group of men, talking to men about men who like men,” the Canadian actor says in the group’s first video. “And how men should be Ok with your man friends liking men.”
“It doesn’t make you any less of a man or make it look like you’re into men if you’re friends with a man who likes men.”
“And men don’t let other men disrespect men, man.”
I met him the other week, when he picked up a female friend of mine. Nice young man. My opinion of him went up even more after seeing this.

Tomas Vergis looks a little bit like a propaganda cartoon version of Daniel Graystone. He wears the same suits, but with better tailoring, and with the added hint of blue-collar Tauronese muscle underneath those fitted shirt sleeves. Danny Graystone is a family man, a failed father who needs his wife to rescue him from Baxter Sarno. Tommy Vergis (go ahead, call him Tommy, we're friends) goes on Sarno with a gift bag of Tauron cigars, radiating nonchalant charisma as he teases Caprica City about his immigration plans. (Watching him on Sarno, I thought he looked a little bit like an...

Title: "Gravedancing"
Story: "Caprica" returns after a one-week hiatus with the highly anticipated Daniel Graystone appearance on Baxter Sarno's popular talk show. Ever since Daniel's wife Amanda raised the specter of their dead daughter's possible involvement in the Maglev train bombing, the family has had to contend with the public outcry against Zoe and the Graystone-created Holoband technology, which Sarno believes is a corruptive influence on the Twelve Colonies' society. Meanwhile, Joseph Adama has second thoughts about his plot to balance out his own family tragedy by having Amanda killed while Gdd Agent Duram finally secures the search warrants necessary to search Zoe Graystone's home and school. There's also some further development with Lacy's promise to get to Geminon and Zoe-bot's blossoming friendship with the lonely Cylon tech.

*Author's Note* – Sorry for the late review. I had a mandatory family gathering to attend that left me without a TV until today, so I apologize for not getting this recap for a great episode of Caprica up on time.
Caprica was way, way better than last week's offering. We got plot twists, character motivations, and an ugly, ugly view at Caprican society, which is very much like our own.
The first ten minutes of the episode was unbearable to watch, but not in a storytelling, creative way. The first ten minutes showed us a mirror to how our society handles the aftermath of a tragedy, which tends to involve taunting, harming (physically and mentally), and damning anyone connected, resembles, or sympathizes in any shape way or form with the suspect. Whether they be family, friends, acquaintances, or a group of people of a a certain niche, we tend to...

Title: "The Reins of a Waterfall"
Writer: Michael Angeli
Director: Ron D. Moore
Story: "Caprica" opens this week on the heels of Amanda Graystone's (Paula Malcomson) shocking, yet ironically untrue, public revelation of her daughter Zoe's (Alessandra Torresani) participation in the terrorist bombing of the Mag-Lev train. Like last week's post-pilot premiere, "Reins" is all over the character map, giving us brief glimpses into the assortment of developing events that grew out of the incident. The Graystones are in the media doghouse, the police continue to hound them, Zoe's friend Lacy (Magda Apanowicz) is still being courted for information about Zoe by the school headmistress and secret member of The Soldiers of the One, and the Adamas remain players in Caprica's criminal underworld. A new player joins the party, in the form of popular talk show host Baxter Sarno (Patton Oswalt), and he's not a fan of the Graystone revelations.

Caprica had a lot of Wtf moments last night, but not in a good way. The story moved along, but character actions were kind of… scattered. Anyway. Let's get to it.
Caprica: One Month After The Bombing
We see Zoe 2.0/U-87 having flashes of Zoe's old life, her own memories and the U-87's current memories. While Zoe 2.0/U-87 lies on a work table, Daniel Graystone and Cyrus Xander discuss the problem they are having with the MCPs not taking with the other droids, but only the U-87. Even copies of the McP won't work with the other droids, as if the bonding of the initial McP with the U-87 droid is unique in some way.
Ya think?
All in all, Daniel has the lab technicians prep the u-87 droid to send to his house, where he will see what the problem is.
While Amanda searches her home for old movies of Zoe,...

Title: "Rebirth"
Writer: Mark Verheiden
Story: Ron Moore and David Eick are back on TV with more Cylon tales. Their long-awaited "Battlestar Galactica" prequel series, "Caprica," kicked off last week with the pilot, which any self-respecting "BSG" fan took in months ago. Which made last night's episode a second season premiere of sorts, the first new looks we've had at the Graystones, the Adamas and the rest of the ensemble since it hit DVD in April.
The story picks up a month after the Mag-Lev ("Caprica" for 'elevated subway') bombing claimed the lives of young Zooey Graystone (Alessandra Torresani) and her terrorist friend Ben Stark. A copy of Zooey's personality exists on what amounts to a space-age microchip installed into the prototype Cylon body. When the story picks up, we see that Zooey is still very much conscious of who she is and what she's become, so much of the...

We have to talk about the Zoe-Robot, because the way that Caprica is dealing with her(/it) is some combination of brave, stupid, lame, and brilliant. (I've watched last night's episode twice, and I'm still not sure how I feel about it.) In scenes featuring the Zobot, the camera constantly switches between showing her lumbering Cylon body and her Avatar-Zoe body, with Alessandra Torresani still wearing that purple club-kid dress. On a purely logistical level, I realize that this is just to keep Torresani in the show, and also to cut down on special effects costs. Shifting to a more thematic consideration,...

It's been a month since Human Zoe, Avatar Zoe and a robotic killing machine collided to form Cylon Zoebot, and everyone's dealing with it in their own way. For her part, Cylon Zoebot keeps flashing on her life as a human/avatar, staring down her sleek metal body in the mirror, and biting off the fingers of her mechanics. That should be a lesson to us all -- be nice to your Dyson vacuum/Tivo/Wii in case it one day achieves sentience.
Daniel is burying himself in his work; Amanda is drowning herself in home videos; and Lacy — the only person who knows that Zoe is alive inside the Cylon — is fighting off Sister Clarice Voldemort at every turn.
On the other side of town, Joseph keeps accidentally driving to his deceased daughter's high school, leaving Willy to fend for himself. The eldest Adama is getting angrier by the...
