A day after Donald Trump’s inauguration as President of the United States, the Women’s March brought out millions of protesters in rallies and marches across the globe in support of women’s and civil rights that they fear may be threatened by the new administration.

The Sundance Film Festival’s box office has been victim of a cyber attack, the festival said Saturday.

The march is the big story of Sundance on opening weekend.  Mirroring the massive turnout around the country, the turnout has swamped Park City in a united sea of activism.  For more on the march, click here:

The day after Donald Trump officially becomes the 45th President of the United States, hundreds of thousands of protesters are set to take part in the Women’s March in Washington D.C. and in several other cities across the nation. The national march has drawn the attention of many celebrities, much of whom were supporters of Hillary Clinton during the election. Here’s the celebs we know will be marching so far. This list will be updated as the march draws closer.

Donald Trump is now the President of the United States, so it’s time for government locations to remove their portraits of Barack Obama from their walls. But “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” put a little spin on what images might go up in their place.

Maria Bello hasn’t gotten out of bed in 74 days.

At least that’s the way she told it on Saturday at the Women’s March on Main Street, a demonstration at the Sundance Film Festival that’s a sister to the Women’s March on Washington.

“I’ve just gotten out of bed for the first time in 74 days,” Bello said. “Only two things roused me from my depression — Meryl Streep’s speech at the Golden Globes and this March here at Sundance today.”

Actress and sexual abuse activist Ashley Judd gave an impassioned speech Saturday prior to the Washington D.C. Women’s March and President Donald Trump wasn’t the only target of her ire — so was her famous family.

Clearly indebted to the memory of “Brokeback Mountain” and its cautious handling of gay male love amidst sheep and lonely landscape, Francis Lee’s debut feature “God’s Own Country” is set on a Yorkshire farm much like the one he himself grew up on, and the camerawork seems in thrall to nature here above all else.

Park City’s Main Street went from Hollywood shuffle to political uprising on Saturday, as the women of show business denounced the Trump administration on festival grounds.

Universal’s M. Night Shyamalan thriller “Split” took in $14.6 million at the Friday box office, twice as much as “xXx: Return of Xander Cage” earned that day.

At 9 am on Inauguration Day the street of Washington DC were empty, almost deserted, like a conquered city had surrendered and residents were quietly waiting inside for the invaders to arrive in force.

On paper, the idea of making a comedy about a mental disturbed stalker does not sound terribly promising. On screen at Sundance, though, Matt Spicer’s “Ingrid Goes West” pulled off that tricky balancing act with style, drawing a rapturous reception in its world premiere at the Library Theatre on Friday night.

It’s no less true for being a cliché: art has the power to bring people together. And that power is at the center of the joyous “Give Me Future,” a film about electronic-dance wizards Major Lazer bringing their act to Havana, Cuba. What results is that rarest of creations: the feel-good documentary.

The best place to see “L.A. Times” is unquestionably L.A. – more to the point, probably the Los Feliz or the Vista theaters over by the hipster enclaves of Silver Lake and vicinity. But it’s safe to say that a very good second option would be the Sundance Film Festival, where writer-director-actor Michelle Morgan’s comedy had its world premiere on Friday night.

Bill Maher celebrated his birthday Friday on the same day Donald Trump celebrated his inauguration as president — which made perfect sense to Maher.

After a day of Trump distractions, the lingering sobriety of “An Inconvenient Sequel,” the looming Women’s March on Main Street and an assault of rain and snow — Sundance delivered the home run we needed.

When films are made about underrepresented communities, there’s always a danger of jumping into a discussion of how “universal” such stories are. It’s great if white, affluent, heterosexual audiences can respond to the travails of the black, gay, impoverished hero of “Moonlight,” for example, but that empathy shouldn’t obscure discussion of how few similar characters we see in mainstream movies.

Now that Donald Trump is President, will comedian Jimmy Kimmel continue to make fun of the Most Powerful Man in the World on his late night show?

Those who are sensitive about cruelty against animals are advised to steer well clear of “Trophy,” a documentary that begins with the killing of a deer on screen and only gets more hard to stomach from there. This deer is shot by a man named Philip Glass (no relation to the minimalist composer) while he is training his young son to kill animals.

NBC has given a pilot order to an untitled family comedy from “Fresh Off the Boat” writer Kourtney Kang.

Time will tell if Michael Flatley can dance his way out of this one.

The “Lord of the Dance” creator and “Riverdance” star, who’s scheduled to perform at President Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities on Friday, is being sued by a publicist who claims that Flatley has stiffed him on more than $42,000 in fees and expenses.

In the suit, filed in New York Supreme Court on Thursday, Origlio & Miramontez Company says that Flatley owes $42,246.56 for PR and theatrical press agent... Читать дальше...

Richard Spencer, one of the loudest voices in the so-called “alt-right” movement and the head of the white nationalist thinktank the National Policy Institute, was punched in the face on the day of President Trump’s inauguration during a live interview, and proceeded to use the incident to argue that his critics are violent cowards.

Donald Trump has been President of the United States for only a few hours, but already his administration has made several notable changes — to the White House website.
