So you've decided to skip the inauguration and stay in the friendly confines of Park City, Utah. Don't be ashamed! The Los Angeles Times has your viewing guide to this year’s must-see Sundance films. Brief Interviews With Hideous Men, from John Krasinski, is the first adaptation of a David Foster Wallace story. In Good Hair, Chris Rock explores African-American hairstyles. There’s the James Toback documentary Tyson, about the former heavyweight champ; the Anna Wintour doc The September Issue; and, for those who love to mix genres, the Nazi zombie flick Dead Snow. The paper describes it thusly: “cabin, skis, snowmobile, toboggan, copious amounts of beer, and a fertile mix of the sexes.” You can’t get that in Washington, D.C.
