In this "dishy...superbly reported" (Entertainment Weekly) New York Times bestseller, Peter Biskind chronicles the rise of independent filmmakers who reinvented Hollywood--most notably Sundance founder Robert Redford and Harvey Weinstein, who with his brother, Bob, made Miramax Films an indie powerhouse.

As he did in his acclaimed Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, Peter Biskind "takes on the movie industry of the 1990s and again gets the story" (The New York Times). Biskind charts in fascinating detail the meteoric rise of the controversial Harvey Weinstein, often described as the last mogul, who created an Oscar factory that became the envy of the studios, while leaving a trail of carnage in his wake. He follows Sundance as it grew from a regional film festival to the premier showcase of independent film, succeeding almost despite the mercurial Redford, whose visionary plans were nearly thwarted by his own quixotic personality.

Likewise, the directors who emerged from the independent movement, such as Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh, and David O. Russell, are now among the best-known directors in Hollywood. Not to mention the actors who emerged with them, like Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Ethan Hawke, and Uma Thurman.

Candid, controversial, and "sensationally entertaining" (Los Angeles Times) Down and Dirty Pictures is a must-read for anyone interested in the film world.

worked great for national park where traditional sunscreen is not allowed
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
In a national park preserve where some traditional sunscreens are not allowed, this one is allowed as it is "reef safe" without anything other than zinc/titanium dioxide as the active ingredients. Worked fine, rubs in well and doesn't make you look white as a ghost.

Excellent results!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was in Thailand for almost 1 month and used this during the hot summer season and I never burned! It does go on very white but that’s a small concession knowing it is not a toxic sunscreen!
