PARK CITY, UTAH - And so it was. Still not sure why, maybe just because.
All in all, business as unusual, I suppose. But, to show you just how much the whole have to be here muss and fuss has a way of paying off big time, Sony has already announced a major pickup deal of "Mudderized For Your Protection," with no wink promises to turn it into a major summertime tentpole. All of which will,...
PARK CITY, UTAH - Don't look now, but it's finally a Sunday fun day here at the Sundances With Wolves In Sheep's Clothing Film Fest.
And while, in every other end of the out-of-town yard and/or corner of the everywhere else pool, it's a more or less a day of rest, here at Sundances' hipper-than-thou ground-like zero, it's anything but, and, more often than not, a whole lot more.
Especially...
PARK CITY, UTAH - And so, the Fest continues, and the weekend arrives. Not a minute too soon.
In other words, thank Harvey Weinstein (or, if unavailable, Quentin Tarantino will do just fine), for all things bright and (maybe you have to be here) beautiful, for being so right on time.

PARK CITY, UTAH - Meanwhile, back in the states. Or, at least this here current state of like-mind, where a seemingly endless loop of films are still being run, seen, and talked about continually, whether anyone actually understands them, or not.
In other words, it's all a matter of potential, baby. And/or, what and who is gonna be flying high by the seat of some (hopefully) big money guy's...
PARK CITY, UTAH - Sure it's cold and snowy and everything else that harsh winters in this end of the yard hope to offer the otherwise weary moviegoer. But still, you can't beat the heat of the cinematic competition, gearing up all over this burg in anticipation of what everyone associate with each and every film is like, for sure, banking on.
Namely, an enthusiastic first night reception, pos...
PARK CITY, UTAH - Every year Robert Redford's legendary Sundance Film Festival showcases more and more indi-films that are top-heavy with A-list talent. Each of which seems ultra-anxious to make more than just the usual splash, as they collectively hit the sometimes slippery slopes of critical opinion. And, by doing so, insure that they'll get a quality, hipper than thou seal of approval, head st...
Tom Cruise and John Travolta are trying to be the next Robert Redford and Paul Newman. The pair have signed on for the remake of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Cruise will play the role of Sundance, played by Redford in the original picture, w...
The call came as I had just finnished preparing for my interview with Sundance Cassidy, an interview I had arranged 2 weeks earlier. It's not often I let the telephone interupt the 15 minutes of 'man time' allocated to me each day by my wife. 'Man Time' is an important part of my day. I reccomend that every man partake of private 'man time'.
The voice on the other end of the phone belonged t...
Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival kicked off this week in the central Utah town to the usual hoopla and stars. The crop of independent films competing for top prizes is as different from mainstream cinema as usual. There is also no surpri...
