When a Pakistani judge ordered the death penalty for Ahmad Omar Saeed Sheikh in July 2002 for the murder of U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl, the Islamic militant was defiant. In court Sheikh had his lawyer read a threat to Pakistan's President: "Let's see who dies first, me or Musharraf."

Stories like this rarely make the sunny spots on Entertainment Tonight, but they fill practically every page of Down and Dirty Pictures (Simon & Schuster; 544 pages), an expose of the independent-film business by longtime show-biz journalist Peter Biskind. The book is being released just in time for the Sundance Film Festival, that hotbed of indie-film deals that starts in snowy Park City, Utah, this week. Biskind--whose last book, Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, chronicled how the sex-drugs-and-rock generation revolutionized 1970s cinema--has done some exploratory surgery on the underbelly of the indie-film scene...
