10 Movies We Wish We Were Seeing at Sundance 2014

Started in 1978 by Sundance himself Robert Redford, the Sundance Film Festival is a yearly gathering of movie folks in the snowy climes of Park City, Utah where deals are done and the indie (and not so indie) releases for the year are teased.

And we wish we were there.Every year, dozens of highly anticipated movies pick up massive acclaim at the festival, going on to be picked up by major studios and eventually, finally arriving in local cinemas. And that’s just the ones that actually get bought, many more never see the light of day outside of the US – including hits last year like The Spectacular Now and Fruitvale Station.But we can’t be there [sadface] so we have to be content to browse the sites for reviews of movies we might ever see. So come join us as we list 10 Sundance 2014 flicks that we really wish we were seeing right now.The Raid 2Screening: 21/01We’re going to kick off with the obvious one. Gareth Evans’ 2011 (released in 2012) action film The Raid knocked our socks off, sliced them into ribbons and weaved the remnants into a weapon to bludgeon our brains. It was the best action film of the decade, hands down. And now there’s more of it.The Raid 2 kicks off moments after the end of the first entry, with hero Rama (Iko Uwais) already having quite a bad day and it’s about to get worse as he’s forced to go undercover to make corruption a thing of the past. WITH PUNCHING! Seriously, we’re quite excited. And its 148 minutes long!
