My Girlfriend is an Agent


Movie is in Korean with English Subtitles

This slick and tense thriller with comedic elements from South Korean director Shin Tae-ra concerns an aggressive unit of the Russian mafia, detached to infiltrate Korea and filch a cutting-edge chemical weapon. The Korean government issues two secret agents to stop the Russians - both masked by undercover identities: Ahn Soo-ji (Kim Ha-neul), a tough-as-nails female martial arts pro who continues to draw the envy of all of her colleagues, and her male counterpart, klutzy and inept rookie Lee Jae-joon (Kang ji-Hwan), whose unfortunate presence leads to a series of outrageous blunders. Complicating matters, it seems, is the fact that the couple (polar opposites, who hate each other passionately), were once romantically involved. Soo-ji's requirement to maintain a secret life as an agent destroyed the couple by preventing them from maintaining an open relationship. Now, as it so happens, both are agents, and happen to serendipitously run into each other on the job. Though it seems nearly impossible, they must figure out a way to navigate through the possibility of a rekindled relationship, and attempt to save the world at the same time.

Funny, fresh, and unpredictable, Janky Promoters will keep you laughing - and guessing - until the final hustle.

Jackass: The Lost Tapes


Synopsis
Many things have gone missing in this world: Amelia Earhart, D.B. Cooper, the Olmec civilization, Jeff Tremaine's waistline, even the whole continent of Atlantis. Most important and culturally relevant, though, is a big mess of jackass segments that had apparently slipped through a crack in Mianus and never found a home on any of the DVD releases for the classic MTV television series. The "Self Defense Test," "Stun Collar," "Unicycle Poo Barf," "Fast Food Football," "Roller Jump," and "Satan vs. God" (in its original long ass-kicking form!) are just some of the absurd gold that what was once lost but now is found, not to mention all the original show opens, credit montages, and a bunch of other bonus footage that was never shown on television -- or wasn't allowed to be shown -- featuring Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Preston Lacy, Wee-Man, Danger Ehren, and Dave England in their earliest years of basic cable fame and notoriety.

Film With Me In It, A


One death is an accident. Two are a coincidence. Three and a dead dog, well, that’s just bad DIY. In this coal-black farce, the luck of the Irish is dreadful. Indolent actor Mark and his neighbour, failed film writer and failed recovering alcoholic Pierce, are wastrels with no lives. But they quickly become the only characters left alive after a series of accidental deaths in the ill-repaired house they share.

Like a Final Destination movie with a Harold Pinter script, the entire ramshackle edifice becomes a Rube Goldberg machine of death, adding a ghoulish hilarity to proceedings as the two protagonists, stone-faced and sweaty-palmed, concoct plausible reasons for why Mark's apartment has more cadavers than a funeral home in midwinter. Hiding the bodies has rarely been so bleakly hilarious.

Teenage Dirtbag


Based on a true story, this high school drama centers on the unlikely friendship between a cheerleader and a bad boy. Initially, he harasses her, but a friendship begins when they connect in a creative writing class. Will their backgrounds overcome their new link, or will they return to who they were?

This is the only Mitch Belyea video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Michael Bradley, Noa Hegesh, Kyle Lupo, Regina Crosby.
