STUCK



S T U C K

The Story:
Meet Thomas Bardo (Stephen Rea), a sad-eyed schlump who has lost his job to downsizing and Brandi Boski (Mena Suvari) is a dreadlocked, hard-partying, overworked, nursing assistant desperate for a promotion at the retirement home where she works.

After enduring a long day of frustrations and humiliations --he's kicked out of his apartment, then brushed off by a state employment office clerk -- Tom thinks he's hit rock bottom when he's reduced to spending the night on a park bench.

Unfortunately, he winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time! Brandi after a night of drug-binging and partying, she accidentally hits Thomas with great force who gets stuck in the windshield of her car, with his legs hanging out of the window on the hood of the car.

Not wanting to call for help since she is driving under the influence, Brandi, chooses not to get Thomas medical help and instead drives home and leaves him clinging to his life in the windshield of her car. While Brandi frantically tries to decide what she is going to do.

So Brandi asks Rashid (Russell Hornsby), her drug-dealing boyfriend, to dispose of the inconvenient body. But there's a complication: The body isn't quite dead. Indeed, the longer he remains trapped in the windshield, the more time Tom has to gather strength for the slow and painful process of escape.

THE TROUBLE WITH ROMANCE



The Trouble with Romance

The Story:
A hotel plays host to four couples who are having problems coping with their relationships in a variety of ways.

"Banged", partners Jack (Kip Pardue) and Jill (Jennifer Siebel Newsom) engage in heavy non-verbal physical communication but are interrupted by an invisible being, which makes for some amusing reactions from Jill.

"Spice", Karen (Josie Davis) and Paul (David Eigenberg) a husband and wife in another hotel room, safe from the claustrophobia of home, present ostensibly to re-ignite their sagging physical affections, throwing in a third element to raise the stakes: an office worker who has apparently been the apple of one spouse's eye.

"Dumped", Jimmy (Roger Fan) and Stephanie (Emily Liu) are boyfriend and girlfriend Jimmy and Stephanie, a couple in a hotel room invited to a VIP club soiree to celebrate their third anniversary of dating. Things get out of proportion (as does the bathroom humor) when Jimmy invites his two goofy stoned-out male-bonding buddies along for the celebration.

"Love?" features a two-person exchange. In a fourth hotel room, a beautiful, high-priced and elegant prostitute Nicole (Sheetal Sheth), shares an insightful and philosophical conversation with her john Charlie (Jordan Belfi), a lovelorn man who believes that true love can happen, especially with the woman before him.

Starring:
Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Kip Pardue, Coby Ryan McLaughin, David Eigenberg, Josie Davis, Portia Dawson, Emily Liu, Roger Fan, Sheetal Sheth, Jordan Belfi.

Overwhelmed by tensions in his personal life, LASD detective Chandler Manning (Alfred Molina) becomes engaged in a complex cat-and-mouse game with a maniacal killer who begins emulating the 100-year old murders of Jack The Ripper along Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. As the crimes multiply, Chandler realizes he may have sent the wrong man to death row some seven years earlier. Now, with the help of his rookie partner, Street Wilkenson, Chandler battles the encroachments of LAPD, the FBI, the media and his own personal demons as he and his rookie partner Street Wilkenson (Shane West) race to find the elusive killer before he disappears for good. However, the case takes an even more bizarre turn when Chandler himself becomes the prime suspect.

Simultaneously, the film follows the growing yet uneasy relationship between a psychologically unstable landlady, Ellen Bunting (Hope Davis) and a handsome stranger, Malcolm Sleight (Simon Baker) , who appears one day and rents her guesthouse in West Hollywood. Trapped in an unhappy marriage with a traumatic past, Ellen’s world exists almost exclusively inside her unusual house.

Ben (Greg Timmermans) is different. He has Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism that prevents normal communication and makes him ideal fodder for all the school bullies. He never speaks, except to his mother and to his little brother. He gets high grades, but is viewed as "Frankenstein" and "the Martian" by classmates at the high school he attends. Ben's only solace is the time he spends playing his favorite online computer game Archlord, where he can be the fearless hero slaying enemies left and right. Ben tries hard to train himself for the real world he lives in. The harsh world of a technical school is for him a daily kind of living hell.

Ben X is a powerful figure in the world of ArchLord. He is everything that the teenage Ben is not. As the horror of being a daily subject to bullying grows, Ben devises a plan. Then Scarlite (Laura Verlinden), the girl he has met in his online game, appears in the real-world to point the way. That wasn't part of the plan... Together, they concoct the ultimate end-game.

To confront the bullies and make them pay for their torment...

12


1 2 (Russian)

The Story:
A loose remake of 12 Angry Men (1957), set in a Russian school in the war-torn republic of Chechnya.

A Chechen youth (Apti Magamaev) stands accused of stabbing to death his adoptive father, a Russian special forces officer, who rescued the boy after his parents were killed in the fighting, and brought him back to live with him in his Moscow apartment.

12 jurors, all male, retire to an improvised jury room set up in a school gymnasium. The jurors begin to argue, to talk, to reveal more about themselves and gradually, as darkness falls and snow settles in the streets outside, reexamine and even physically rehearse the evidence.

The jurors include a chauvinist anti-Semitic taxi-driver (Sergei Garmash); a charming old Jewish gentleman (Valentin Gaft); a neurotic variety show performer (Michail Efremov); a scientist with a tragic past (Sergei Makovetsky); a successful surgeon, who is himself from the Caucasus (Sergei Gazarov); and an entrepreneur and owner of cable television stations (Yuri Stoyanov), who is so indecisive that he has to be reminded of the last way he voted.

What gradually emerges from their deliberations is a panoramic view of Russia today, with its disappointments, multiple ills, corruption, violent internecine struggles, black humor, sentimentality and enduring hopes.

Starring:
Sergey Makovetsky, Valentin Gaft, Alexey Petrenko, Mikhail Efremov, Nikita Mikhalkov, Apti Magamayev, Sergey Garmash, Yuri Stoyanov, Sergei Gazarov.
