Starring Tia Texada, Derek Luke, Val Kilmert, Jeremie Campbell,
and Bob Jennings. Directed by David Mamet
In the US-government's special ops, Scott is a shooter, not a planner, doing the job without regard to quaint or obsolete convention. When the President's 15-year-old daughter goes missing, it's Scott who applies the pressure, first to her boyfriend, then to a madam whose cathouse is the first stop en route to a white slavery auction house in Dubai. The abductors may not know whom they've grabbed, but once they figure it out, the girl is doomed. As Scott is set to fly to the Middle East, the drowned body of the girl turns up. Deadly double crosses force Scott to become a planner. Through it all, earnest TV newscasters read the drivel they've been handed.

The Mark 2003 (NEW) Horror / Thriller
Starring Roberto Purvis, Alla Bulankina, Raquel Meroņo, Yoon C. Joyce and Milena Mancini. Directed by Mariano Equizzi
Italy, today. Mark Draveni, 19, disgustingly wealthy, is the charismatic leader of a teenager brotherhood, the Demons. The Demons are bloodthirsty and lethal, albeit quite outlandish. Among them there's a martial arts master (Berserk), a hip hop madman nicknamed Spike, the cooler-than-ice computer whiz called Conan, and the gorgeous ninja woman Kite. All of his sheer power, though, can't give Mark the strenght to face his lovely girlfriend Giulia, 18. Giulia's pregnant and resolute to keep the baby, a prospect that makes Mark to freak out. After the umpteenth furious fight with Giulia, Mark is seduced by a new schoolmate: the malicious blondie Serena Cursi. Serena is morbidly fascinating in her natural coldness. Mark and Serena have wild sex, but Serena soon vanishes. Sometime later, Mark meets Uncle J., former best friend of the Dravenis, just released out of prison. He desperately warns Mark against Serena and her unbreakable curse. It's an eerie circle of blood which dates back to the 80's, he says. The symbol of this curse is a black stigmata on the right hand of whomever becomes Serena's lover. Urban legend stuff? Maybe... and maybe not! As Uncle J. horribly dies and Serena begins stalking Giulia, Mark finds help from a shady reported, Enrico Artale, who's somehow connected to Serena...

No longer content to spend time only with her best friend and neighbour, Matt Flamhaff, Jenna invites the cool kids to her 13th birthday party. But the party is a disaster. Jenna is humiliated when she's locked in the closet for a game of "Seven Minutes in Heaven" and everyone deserts her. Alone in the closet, Jenna makes an earnest wish.
