Everyone wants to know where the new hot party is happening at Sundance. /Film will give you an indepth look at all the parties going on in and outside of Main Street every night of the festival.

I made an interesting observation during the credits for Zoe Cassavetes’ Broken English. Hidden deep into the credits within a Special Thanks area is the name Darren Aronofsky. For those of you who are not hip to the film culture, Aronofsky directed Pi, Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain. Why is this weird? Because [...]

Following the great Zombie war (which I’m sure will be chronicled in World War Z), people now live in gated communities outside the “wild zone,” an area where Zombies roam free. Thanks to a ZomCor (motto: “Better Life Through Containment”) most everyone now owns at least one collar controlled servant Zombie. Until now, everyone [...]

Sons and daughters of great filmmakers rarely become great filmmakers themselves. Zoe and Nick Cassavettes have the accomplishment of directing two of the worst Sundance films in the last two years. One must wonder if Geoffrey Gillmore or John Cooper put their stamp of approval on either film. I refuse to believe they had a [...]

Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade is a love letter to arcade gaming, an era past and stained forever into popular geek culture. If you were part of the scene, a kid of the 80’s, or just a pop culture fanatic, Ghosts offers an entertaining look at the days of Pac Man.

The following Sundance blog was sent in from Jill Adler, a special /Film correspondent.
Sundance is off and running. The streets of Park City, Utah, are a nightmare to navigate, parking non-existent, theater lines inconvenient, and ticket prices ridiculous (if not sold-out). This is a festival by and for independent filmmakers – actors, writers, directors, all [...]

If The Omen were made in the twenty-first century by as an independent psychological thriller comedy it would resemble George Ratliff’s Joshua.

There are tons of new movies premiering at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Guess what this means? Poster-mania! Here is our first look at the posters of Sundance 2007.

Luc Besson has lost his mind. If Arthur and the Invisibles was not enough to convince you of this fact, Angel-A nails it home. Angel-A is a Black and White French film with English subtitles about a guy who vaguely reminds me of Besson, who can’t seem to get anything right. He’s over 50 grand [...]

Most of the films at his year’s Sundance have titles which only loosely fit their subject matter. An American Crime was about a crime committed in America, but there wasn’t anything overtly American about it. Rocket Science was not about Science, nor was it about Rockets. And now we have Weapons, a movie which involves [...]

“Mom, what do you think is better? Something or Nothing when you don’t have everything?”
Clare is one of the most hated people in the world, but not really by choice. She is a meter maid. Her job requires her to write tickets for expired parking meters. It’s not that she wants to, it’s just a [...]

Eighty-something minutes into a premiere screening at the Eccles Theater something unusual happened. The climax of Tommy O’Haver’s latest film An American Crime was about to reveal its most disturbing twist.
“LIGHTS!!!! LIGHTS!!!!” People started screaming from the back of the theater.
The audience jumped to it’s feet, someone screamed.
“We need a doctor! Is anyone a doctor!”
People [...]

Rocket Science is not about Science, nor is it about Rockets. It’s about that first High School love. In the running tradition of such films as Election, Rushmore, and Squid and the Whale, Rocket Science is about a unpopular high school student named Hal Heffner, who can’t spit out a complete sentence without stuttering.
