Sundance - In The Cool, Cool, Cool Of Thurs Evening by The Hot Blog

This evening offered two of the buzz films of the festival, Anvil: The Story Of Anvil and Sunshine Cleaning . Anvil is this year's American Movie , albeit less wildly funny and more poignant, as it tells the story of two Canadian heavy metalargy....

Sundance - Well Over The Hump by The Hot Blog

The beat has continued on for almost 2 days already since things started screeching to a halt. Sanity has returned to Main Street (except for a short while today, as people lined up for a free Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young concert in a small room)...

Dancing On Ice - Pre-Game Show 2 by The Hot Blog

So it's big prayers for Little Miss Sunshine Cleaning... maybe Morgan Spurlock... is the Levinson actually good?... The return of Team Half Nelson ... U-fucking-2 in 3-fucking-D... and a lot of films that we are all hoping will be more special than...

Pre-Dance... Via iPhone by The Hot Blog

It was a beautiful drive to Park City, but if you are still packing, be advised... it is really, really cold here this year and not scheduled to get any better. The last time I remember it being this cold was a few years ago, late in the festival, walking...
