"Getting ready for the Sundance Film Festival can be very exciting. As we await the event’s Thursday opening, we can’t stop wondering what will be the next big thing. Will this year’s hit be the highly-anticipated Michael Cera project Paper Hearts, or will it be something that we as of yet know nothing about? It’s easy to forget, however, that oftentimes the next big thing is also the next lamest thing. Sundance sensations, those films that are much-buzzed-about, that sell for a lot of money, that go on to be marketed like crazy and ultimately receive Oscar recognition, tend to lend themselves most easily to backlashes. Usually such derision is deserved, as in the case of the following ten films, each of which made a big splash at Sundance despite being bad. 10. Brick (Ria "

"Bob Dylan has led an eventful life. He’s redefined the protest song, influenced the Beatles, found God, and won an Oscar. The nation’s reigning poet laureate continues to make great music and tour nearly 50 years after his rise to the top of the folk scene. His story is legendary and inspiring. But is it cinematic?The real-life Dylan is. D.A. Pennebaker’s Don’t Look Back and Martin Scorsese’s No Direction Home are towering documentaries chronicling the 1965 British tour and Dylan’s life up until his motorcycle wreck, respectively. That Dylan is charming, mysterious, and inspiring. He is as close to a musical superhero as anyone has come, including Elvis.But what about the fictional Dylan? Being a natural storyteller, Dylan seemed fit as any to explore himself on a deeper level.

"By Tricia Olszewski Anyone who's read one of those interminable Bob Dylan interviews and felt closer to God will delight in Masked and Anonymous. The film, scripted by the legendary songwriter along with Seinfeld veteran Larry Charles, is another example of how, when freed from musical constraints, Bob Dylan, Genius, often mutates into Bob Dylan, Blowhard. A bleak mood piece that takes place in a war-torn "fictional America"—though everyone speaks English, the feel is more South America than North—Masked and Anonymous at least leaves the gate respectably, telling the story of two promoters, Uncle Sweetheart (John Goodman) and Nina Veronica (Jessica Lange), who are desperate for a headliner to rescue a poorly planned benefit concert. It's never stated whom the benefit is for, but it's clear that the political climate is explosive: Posters of a mustachioed, Hussein-like leader cover the gritty streets, counterrevolutionaries are afoot, and our slight hero, Jack Fate (Dyl ...
