 I also managed to take in the premiere of Michael Keaton's first directing effort, "The Merry Gentleman." He stars as a suicidal hitman who can't quite do the deed and then starts a relationship with a young woman, played by Kelly Macdonald, who is the only witness to his last hit.
 It's perfect Sundance fare -- an offbeat romance sprinkled with some darkly humorous moments. Keaton is a stylish director. He has great performances from the cast, plus the film had a lazy pace with good musical choices.
We'll post my full interview with Keaton in the upcoming days - stay tuned!
