With the SF Independent Film Festival in town, I’ve tried to force myself to see more of the flicks since last year I managed to miss everything completely.

The first film I saw was Initial D which was decent for what I had expected. Nothing too intense but a light fun ride overall. The race scenes did look pretty realistic to someone who doesn’t know crap about driving and racing.

The 2nd flick was Mad Cowgirl. It was the World Premiere so director Gregory Hatanaka and his crew were present. I didn’t know too much about the guy or the film, but apparently his film from 2005 was the worst rated film of the festival.

Well, once it began, I realized the lead character is pretty hot. Played by Sarah Lassez, Therese is quite an enigmatic character. I don’t know what to say without spoiling any of it, but it’s a crazy ride that goes all over the place, but because of that kinetic schizophrenia it makes it a lot of fun.

The last flick I’ll see I just realized the website for it is is kanashibari.org which is totally bizarre since that’s the word from a blog post of mine in 2003 that I have only heard of that one time.
