The first weekend of the Sundance Film Festival is always the most intense, but although it showcased some noteworthy movies to keep an eye on, the second half of the festival provided the more controversial films and surprises that everyone was talking about. Here's a quick rundown.

Damn Good
"Crazy Love": A fantastically entertaining documentary about the unbelievable ups and downs that a New York couple endures for the past 50 years. You have to see it to believe it.

"Padre Nuestro": The winner of the Grand Jury drama award is an engrossing thriller that will have a hard time finding an audience or major distribution.

"The Pool": "American Movie" director Chris Smith succeeds at telling a compelling story that occurs in a culture incredibly different from his own. The films portrays a a poor young man following his dreams in India.

Good, But Not Great
"Angel-A": Luc Besson crafts an intriguing tale about a Parisian man that is visited by a real angel charged with turning the man's life around.

"Black Snake Moan": Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci's performances are the reason to see the second film from "Hustle & Flow" director Craig Brewer. Unfortunately, Brewer's latest isn't the crowd-pleaser that "Hustle" was.

Not-So-Good
"Adrift in Manhattan": Poor Heather Graham ... the girl just can't find a fit in movies or TV these days. She certainly wastes her time in this collection of indie clichés that becomes less and less watchable as they progress.

"Chapter 27": Jared Leto's body-changing performance is the only noteworthy aspect of this structurally flawed look at John Lennon's killer, Mark David Chapman.

"Clubland": Brenda Blethyn is admirable as a divorced, middle-aged mother trying to reclaim the stardom of her glory years as a stand-up comic, but why Warner Independent shelled out $4 million to acquire it is beyond me.

"Fido": It looks great, but this zombie comedy wears out its welcome way too early.

"Hounddog": Dakota Fanning proves she can shine in anything -- even in this Southern gothic mess. If it ever makes it to theaters, it will only be because of the silly controversy the rape scene has caused.

"Trade": Kevin Kline leads an international cast in this dramatic look at the sex-trafficking trade, which sadly comes off as a nicely shot TV movie.

Sadly Missed
The crowd-pleaser "Son of Rambow: A Home Movie," the Irish musical "Once," the indie teen dance flick "How She Move," Gwyneth Paltrow in "The Good Night" and Michael Douglas' quirky performance in "King of California."
