Still, I wasn't hearing people at parties or on Main Street talking about my film. The major fault in my plan was that actors and directors with movies at Sundance don't see other movies, since that would restrict the time they could spend talking about their own movies. Desperate for a new strategy, I thought about what had worked before in Utah. I gently asked festival programmer Trevor Groth what the punishment was for bribing judges. "Bribery doesn't happen enough in the film-festival circuit. I've been waiting for it for years," he said...
...discuss how best to defend Lincoln's dying legacy. They called themselves the National Negro Committee, later changing their name to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Since then, the NAACP has worked tirelessly to transform American race relations. In 1915 it protested the blockbuster silent film Birth of a Nation, which glorified the Ku Klux Klan and was enthusiastically screened at the White House by Woodrow Wilson.

The Boss will be turning 60 this year, but he still knows how to make a great album. “Working on a Dream” is meaningful, powerful, and thoroughly enjoyable. While...
Stripped of his tuxedo, Aston Martin, and martini, the newest James Bond still maintains an heroic persona in his latest film, “Defiance.” While the movie’s Holocaust setting might arouse the expectation of another horrifying display of Nazi actions (as in “Schindler’s List), director Edward Zwick ’74 (“The Last Samurai,” “Blood Diamond”) surprises the audience by examining the Holocaust from an original angle. In a story of survival, Daniel Craig...
