John is hit, hit-on, held at knife point, treated to a peep show, and informed by the archdiocese in no uncertain terms that his career is in jeopardy if he doesn’t cease and desist.Then his first love turns up after 20 years, as beautiful as ever, to tell him she is divorced and that she never stopped loving him. He was her first. She was his only. Shockingly, John’s mother encourages the reunion.

MAO'S LAST DANCER

The Story:
Born in 1961, Li lived with his six brothers and impoverished parents in China's Shandong Province. His family was destined to be labourers, but when recruiters from Madame Mao's ballet academy in Beijing swept through his single-room school in search of untapped talent to mould into the future leading lights of the Cultural Revolution, eleven-year-old Li was selected, and committed to a strange new life of stringent training, both artistic and ideological. At first, the experience overwhelmed, but when an audacious teacher introduced him to the works of great international performers, Li (Chi Cao) realized dance's true revolutionary potential.

Practising by candlelight and jumping up stairs with sandbags tied to his ankles to build his strength while his peers slept, Li became the school's top dancer. Discovered by Ben Stevenson (Bruce Greenwood), the artistic director of the Houston Ballet and part of the first American cultural delegation to Communist China, Li in turn was one of the first exchange students allowed by Mao's regime to go to America. After a brief bout with culture shock – Houston's malls and so-called Chinese restaurants were alien spheres to him – he quickly fell in love with America's freedom and one of its winsome daughters. When his exchange ended, Li refused to return to China, leading to a dramatic standoff at the consulate that made headlines across the United States.

Sophie Bauer (Mila Kunis) is a rebellious young woman, her father has passed away and her mother has remarried, she's none too keen on her step-father (Serge Houde) at all. In fact, you could say that Sophie goes out of her way to make his life difficult, and once he decides that he's had enough of her attitude, she's shipped off to a correctional facility in Fiji.

Dubbed the ASAP - Advanced Serenity Achievement Program - this social rehabilitation curriculum for troubled teens is lead by Norman Hail (Peter Stormare), a supposed doctor with some rather serious stability issues of his own.

Things seem off from the moment Sophia arrives on the island to start her rehabilitation. While it's all well and good for the kids to undergo therapy and even some tough love scenarios, the program is run more like a prison camp than an actual psychiatric program.

They take away all of the kids' jewelry, and chain them to massive cement blocks on the beach where they leave them overnight to 'teach them how to be strong and follow the rules.' As Sophia and the other kids, lead by a her boyfriend Ben (Gregory Smith), who has snuck into the camp posing as a drug addict, resist and revolt Hail's tactics become increasingly more brazen and bizarre to the point where the kids are basically subjected to torture.

Sophia and Ben try to escape on their own but they're recaptured and Hail and his right hand man/thug Logan (Tygh Runyan) turn up the heat to teach them a lesson, and all the while some of the kids he's in charge of are turning up dead.
