On Friday, March 11, the South by Southwest Film festival gets underway in Austin, TX, ushering in a whole new group of independent and foreign films that will receive a great deal of critical buzz (both positive and negative) before their limited theatrical run, and eventually, their arrival on DVD and Blu-ray.
The interesting thing about smaller films is that they seem to linger in our memories just as long as the blockbusters, because they spend so...
