DIFF Reviews by Wyatt Head

I wrote a one sentence review for each of the films I saw at the Dallas International Film Festival as a thank you to a freind who got my family Star Passes. As a Junior in HS it is hard to fit in everything. As a young person I need an escape from my teenage life and I find that films offer me that. The Festival meant a lot to me and I hope other young people like myself can appreciate festing as much as I do. I was able to watch nineteen films at the festival. I have also included a film seperate from the festival that I just saw tonight in fact. I'm trying this review thing and seeing how it goes. I hope you enjoy the reviews and I wish you a great rest of the year.

Rainbow's End- An out of the box and hilarious documentary that will make you cry in your seat in a directionless way.

LBW- If you want to murder someone by drowning them, then just hold this DVD box underwater after you have fun recognizing Dallas.

Soul Surfer- An inspiring true legend that turns tragic loss into beneficial gain.
