Bunch of Amateurs, A


Jefferson Steel (Burt Reynolds) is an ageing Hollywood action hero. He’s out of work, vain insecure and is desperate to revive his flagging career. Under pressure from his client, Jefferson’s incompetent LA agent Charlie (Charles Durning) is forced to go through his trash in a final attempt to find Jefferson work… and stumbles upon the perfect role: a prestige run in the British theatre playing King Lear at Stratford.

Jefferson believes he has landed the role of a lifetime and arrives in the UK only to discover the reality. Instead of a leading role in a Royal Shakespeare Company Production at Stratford upon Avon, Jefferson has committed to star as King Lear for an amateur dramatic society in Stratford St John in Suffolk.

Actors
Burt Reynolds, Derek Jacobi, Imelda Staunton, Camilla Arfwedson, Samantha Bond, Ty Davies, Charles Durning, Elesia Ennis, Sarah Goldberg, Peter Gunn & Libby Hayter

Escapist, The


Continuing the trend of making engaging productions out of the concept of a prison break, The Escapist earns extra bonus points by throwing in a meaty role for Brian Cox in the process. He plays Frank Perry, a prisoner who’s 12 years into his sentence with no hope of parole. Yet when his daughter becomes ill, he realises that he needs to be on the other side of the walls, and sets about hatching a plan to make that possible. In short, the break is on…
Naturally, the master plan involves bringing together a mismatch of fellow prisoners to help, and The Escapist then follows their attempts to break out. Standing in their way? Damian Lewis’ sinister turn as Rizza, a threat more potent than any guard.

Grounded on a solid script, The Escapist has plenty in its corner. Debut director Rupert Wyatt (who co-wrote the script) knows not to overcook his ingredients, and thus demonstrates commendably restraint, which really pays off when he needs to ratchet up some menace and tension. And then there’s the cast, led superbly by Brian Cox. Cox deserves far more roles of this quality, because he’s quite magnificent here, single-handedly lifting the film from a firm rental to a must-see.

Corporal's Diary, The


The true story of two soldiers, one who never returned and one who returned forever changed.

Twenty-two year old Corporal Jonathan Santos had documented his 37 days of military service in Iraq in a personal diary before a roadside bomb took his life and the lives of several of his friends and servicemen on October 15, 2004. Jonathan's mother, Doris, wasn't aware that her son had kept a diary until his Tuff Box(tm) - a soldier's chest filled with their most valuable items - was sent to her after his death. Upon opening the box, she discovered his "little green book" and a stack of videocassettes on which he had recorded daily life in Iraq.

When Doris is finally able to bring herself to watch the tapes, she finds images of Jonathan's arrival in Iraq, pictures from a cousin's wedding he was able to attend while on leave, and scenes of Jonathan laughing and joking with his Army buddies including Private Matthew Drake, one of Jonathan's best friends, who was the sole survivor of the attack in which Jonathan was killed. The record of Jonathan's final few weeks, in which he expresses fears and doubts never voiced to his family in person, is at once inspiring, personal and profound.

Both an affecting story of courage and a universal tribute to soldiers everywhere, The Corporal's Diary follows Doris' journey as she moves beyond her pain to meet with the families of others who have lost loved ones in the war. Together they share stories, offer comfort and pay tribute to the lives of the brave young servicemen and women who have sacrificed their lives in Iraq.

Life of Lucky Cucumber, The


Synopsis
Aspiring filmmakers Phillip Fellini (Sam Maccarone - National Lampoon's TV: The Movie, Clueless) and Forrest Fonda (Preston Lacy - The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Jackass) share a lifelong dream of making an award-winning documentary that would get them out of their trailer park and into Hollywood's upper crust. They stumble upon a cave-dwelling, beer-guzzling human oddity named Lucky "Cucumber" Cavanaugh (Dian Bachar - South Park, Orgazmo) in the wilds of Missouri, a man rumored to possess the most extraordinary luck on Earth. Phillip and Forrest believe they've found their ticket to fame and fortune, only to learn that Lucky's incredible luck always results in devastating consequences for himself and everyone around him. What ensues is debauchery of the worst kind as Phillip, Forrest and Lucky battle gun-toting drug addicts, mental patients, sex offenders, alcoholism and, of course, each other.
