    LA Times article, "Sundance 2013: In 'Linsanity,' Jeremy Lin's extraordinary journey":
    http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-sundance-2013-linsanity-jeremy-lin-movie-rockets-knicks-nba-stats-20130120,0,1626846.story

    If he is attending, it will be on Jan 27, the day before the game against the Jazz in Salt Lake City. I'm wondering how many of his team mates will go to see the movie with him. :)

    Where can I watch all these movies you just posted? Why have I never even heard of them at all? And I go to the movies all the time.

    Some you can see on Netflix maybe Amazon too. Most are Indy films that don't get wide release. Sometimes stuff like that is shown on pay cable, Sundance Channel or IFC.

    No problem bro, some of these are independent films that don't have a big distribution run like normal mainstream movies.. If you have a netflix account, some of these smaller films can be seen there, and usually netflix has a system where they recommend similar films in that genre... I think you can buy them on AMazon as well, good luck!!!:)

    Hehe, not a bro here. But thank you for posting those movie clips. Look very interesting. Don't have a Netflix account and too cheap to buy on Amazon. Will try to check in my local libraries.:p

    Most of the articles and tweets are very positive. I hope the positive feed back will make Jeremy smile. He seems so sad lately. :(

    excerpt from http://www.amny.com/urbanite-1.812039/here-s-a-sneak-peek-at-the-jeremy-lin-documentary-1.4486158:

    Lin-teresting facts from "Linsanity" (the movie)

    -- 1. Lin loves "The Lion King" so much that he still uses a blanket covered with Simba, Timon and Pumbaa, and he can play "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" on the keyboard.

    -- 2. He says he failed his first two tests at Harvard: a math exam and a Chinese language exam.

    -- 3. Ex-teammate Landry Fields' couch, which Lin famously stayed on during his early days with the Knicks, is smaller than you think. We're sure the 6-foot-3 point guard didn't get much sleep in Linsanity's earliest days.

    -- 4. Lin was close to being cut before his star-making game against the Nets. How close? He says he asked then coach Mike D'Antoni if he should ship his car from California to New York, and D'Antoni told him not to just yet.
