Peter Martin at Cinematical compiled a great little list of the films that were purchased at the Sundance Film Festival this year and since I basically stole the list and changed the links to link to the individual movie pages here at RopeofSilicon why not click here and give his article a once over. His has links to the Cinematical reviews for some of the films on the list.

Of the films on the list 500 Days of Summer and Adventureland had already been acquired prior to the Festival, to my knowledge the rest were Festival acquisitions.
