Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo in the Rian Johnson film The Brothers Bloom. The Brothers Bloom offered the folks behind the 31st Starz Denver Film Festival with a win-win situation at last night's opening night. The film has a local hook of sorts: Its director, Rian Johnson, spent part of his youth in Denver. Moreover, the movie's actually pretty entertaining, unlike some past first-night flicks I could name -- like, for instance, Breaking and Entering, the disappointing final flick by the l

June 5, 2009Denver Film Society reversal: Bo Smith sacked following mass resignations
Nina Henderson-Moore. A Friday blog pointed out that the Denver Post would have a difficult time covering the turmoil at the Denver Film Society, where as many as 21 staffers resigned amid layoff reports and dissatisfaction with relatively new executive director Bo Smith. After all, Nina Henderson-Moore, a past chair of the DFS board, and the wife of Post editor Greg Moore, is widely seen to have been Smith's most prominent champion. She was a big part of an April piece about Smith that touched

June 8, 2009Wake-Up Call: Cut! The Denver Film Society makes it official
If this were a movie, one insider theorizes, it would be like Crash, with everyone going through the same situation -- but seeing it entirely differently. Last Monday, as Westword was going to press (we have new deadlines for our new format -- although the paper still hits the street Wednesday afternoon), I checked in with few of the people I'd been talking to regarding the upheaval at the Denver Film Society. By June 1, close to twenty employees of the DFS had submitted their resignations, u
June 9, 2009Wake-Up Call: Denver Festival Society keeps rolling
While most of the employees of the Denver Film Society are back at work, they're not quite sure if they're still employees, because twenty of them had officially resigned before the board voted to dismiss new executive director Bo Smith last Friday. And there's also the matter of a major budget shortfall (which can't be made better by whatever goodbye package was given to Smith). But still, they're looking forward. While the Denver Film Society drama played out over the weekend, I thought bac

June 11, 2009Wake-Up Call: Ready for his screen test?
Late Monday, the Denver Film Society announced that a search was already under way for a new executive director to take the place of Bo Smith, who'd finally been dismissed just two days before. "We are looking for a permanent replacement," DFS board chair David Charmatz told me. "We'll decide as a board on who we select... the sooner the better." And already, a leading candidate has surfaced: Tom Botelho, the former Denver Newspaper Agency marketing exec who worked with the DFS, including cur
June 11, 2009Wake-Up Call: Just imagine that
The film stories keep unrolling in Denver, where the Denver Film Society is trying to rebuild after a morale-deadening miss at installing a new executive director, and the just re-established state film office starts the process of luring moviemakers to Colorado. Still, as Imagine That, the Eddie Murphy filmed here two years (as Nowhereland) and released today proves: Moviemakers may return to Colorado, but there's no guarantee they'll make good movies here.

June 18, 2009Michael Jackson tribute planned tonight at Film on the Rocks
Just received word from our friends over at Theaters and Arenas that the Denver Film Society is planning some sort of special Michael Jackson tribute tonight after the Rouge's set, which kicks off at 6:45, and just before the screening of Jaws at dusk. Despite our dogged persistence, our peeps simply refuse to dish on the details, but since this weekly summer series is called Film on the Rocks, we're gonna go out on a limb and posit that the tribute, whatever form it takes, will be, uh, cinemati

July 9, 2009Wake-Up Call: Film festival, take two
When I last spoke with Tom Botelho, he was in an airport lounge, looking at Gerard Depardieu (foreshadowing!), heading to Europe on a family vacation, and not talking about anything but that. He was certainly not talking about the rumor that he was about to be named the new executive director of the Denver Film Society, a post that the former Denver Post marketing exec had held on an interim basis a year ago, back when the organization was conducting a national hunt for a new director. It cam

Then there's all the additional entertainment thrown in for the price of admission -- music and comedy and giveaways galore. And finally, there are the films themselves, hand-picked by the folks over at the Denver Film Soc

"Precious" director Lee Daniels got emotional. Not fake emotional. Real emotional.It's been a tough year for the Denver Film Society. Not only has the economy wreaked havoc on the organization, necessitating shortened hours of operation, but internal turmoil boiled over in June, when executive director Bo Smith, on the job for less than a year, was sacked following a mutiny among staff members; as many as 21 offered their resignations. Even though most of these folks eventually returned,
