Synopsis: Alex (Mark Ruffalo), a self-absorbed young painter, is having a bad day. He doesn't get the art show he's been expecting, his girlfriend kicks him out, and he finds himself living in a low rent Hollywood apartment with an ironclad lease. Rejected, dejected, and surrounded by an assortment of neighbors he'd rather avoid, his downward spiraling life takes a turn when Lori (Beth Ulrich), a country girl from Colorado, (and fresh out of the Air Force), moves in across the hall. It soon becomes apparent to Alex though, that as convenient as it is to date someone across the hall, it's even more inconvenient to have her still living there when you try to break up.

Street Date: 15-Mar-2005
Stars:Jordan Bridges, Marisa Caughlin, Heather Donahue, Dan Hedaya
Synopsis: In the tradition of The Player and Swimming with Sharks, comes this biting comedy about Hollywood sycophants and schemers that fuel its increasingly vacuous ideas. Kevin Taylor is a young screenwriter with a dream, but his unfortunate reality is fetching coffee (and hookers) for a washed-up producer and listening to his blowhard colleagues’ mouth off about scripts they’ve never read. One day he jokingly mentions a “hot” script that doesn’t exist; his colleagues, unwilling to admit ignorance, pretend they know all about it. Soon half of Hollywood wants the script, while the other half pretends they’ve already gotten, read, loved, optioned and financed it. Deftly satirizing Hollywood’s inane ability to embrace only the most (literally) hollow ideas, New Suit stylistically exposes the truth: It’s not the package but the packaging that counts.

Synopsis: For Lenny, the allure of a good Cuban cigar has become more than a form of relaxation- it’s become his living and a very lucrative one at that. He became a "Stick Man" to get himself off the streets and now enjoys the luxuries of life,

Lenny enters Domino’s private cigar club, with no understanding of how cut-throat the world of smuggled Cuban cigars can really be. This is a place where Hollywood’s high rollers come to play. Their common interest: fast women, expensive spirits, and the love of a good cigar. The "sticks" must be special, and Domino plans to offer the most sought after cigar of them all the El Mariposa.

Smuggled in from Cuba this valuable shipment has been stolen from Fidel Castro’s own private stock and brought into the States by a third class smuggler named Mark. Mark has agreed to sell the desired Mariposas to Domino for a substantial payoff. But unbeknownst to Mark, his Cuban girlfriend, Maria, has devised a double-cross and plans to trade the cigars for illegal arms to procure the liberation of Cuba.

When Lenny hears about the shipment he offers Mark and Maria a great deal. Mark knows that Lenny’s offer is much better deal than the one he made with Domino but Maria becomes outraged and wants nothing to do with Lenny.

A comedy of errors finds Lenny caught up in Maria’s secret web of deceit. What started as a simple cigar deal, now becomes a race among Domino and his boys, a group of crafty arms dealers and two deceitful detectives from the FBI. Against his better judgment, Lenny becomes sympathetic to Maria’s cause and to make things worse... he finds himself falling in love with her.

Sticks is a cleverly crafted exhale into Hollywood’s seductive world of cigar smuggling. When the smoke clears, Lenny will learn that an expensive cigar can be more than hazardous to your health... it can be deadly.
