Hell Ride |
HELL RIDE is a raucous throwback to the days of the Sergio Leone spaghetti western, with a heaping helping of testosterone-fueled chopper action thrown into the mix. Writer/director Larry Bishop takes on a third role as Pistolero, head honcho of the Victors, a group of badass bikers who are out to avenge the murder of one of their members at the hands of the 666ers, a rival gang whose actions live up to their hellish moniker.

HELL RIDE is a raucous throwback to the days of the Sergio Leone spaghetti western, with a heaping helping of testosterone-fueled chopper action thrown into the mix. Writer/director Larry Bishop takes on a third role as Pistolero, head honcho of the Victors, a group of badass bikers who are out to avenge the murder of one of their members at the hands of the 666ers, a rival gang whose actions live up to their hellish moniker. Along with his cohorts, the Gent (deviously portrayed by Michael Madsen) and the mysterious Comanche (Eric Balfour), Pistolero aims to take down the Deuce and Billy Wings, menacing leaders of the 666ers, but a mutiny looms on the horizon when his commitment to profit is questioned by a few of his fellow Victors. An even larger story unravels when previously unknown information about Comanche resurrects ghosts from Pistolero's past.
Although there is enough sex, violence, and all-out machismo to keep grind-house fans firmly plastered to their seats, Bishop's take on the genre strays far from exploitation as he weaves a twisting, multilayered tale of revenge, loyalty, and brotherhood that is brought to life by a superb ensemble cast, with memorable performances by Dennis Hopper, Vinnie Jones, and David Carradine. In the words of Comanche, 'The road to hell is paved with anything but good intentions.'

"Sketches of Frank Gehry" is director Sydney Pollack's first feature length documentary on the acclaimed architect, Frank O. Gehry.
The two men have been friends for many years, and Pollack completed the film over a period of five years, starting in 2000.
Frank Gehry loves to sketch; it is the beginning of his architectural process. And it is his love of the sketch that gave Pollack his first clues to the style of this documentary film. Beginning with Gehry's own original sketches for each major project, the film explores Gehry's process of turning these abstract drawings, first into tangible, three-dimensional models, often made simply of cardboard and scotch tape, then into finished buildings of titanium and glass, concrete and steel, wood and stone.
To capture the sketch quality in the documentary, Pollack uses a combination of film and Mini DV (digital video) as his media. Spending countless hours in Gehry's studio, on building sites, and in his home, this unobtrusive and quiet shooting style has captured, for the first time, the essence of Gehry's unique architectural process, and his shy and elusive personality.

Rod Blue, a down-on-his-luck rock promoter, is struggling to find the one act that will change his life forever. He needs a headliner; someone big, someone with power, someone like Frank Sinatra!
He decides to travel to L.A. to convince Sinatra's people that he's the one to promote Ol' Blue Eyes' come back tour in Australia. Rod is young and green, but he's got confidence and charisma, and that just happens to be Frankie's style.
Sadly, Rod has fallen for the wrong girl: blonde-bombshell gossip columnist Hilary Hunter (Portia de Rossi). When Sinatra and girlfriend Barbara Marx (Melanie Griffith) arrive, Hilary starts asking all the wrong questions.
As the spotlight beings to heat up, Ol' Blue Eyes starts seeing red, taking aim at the media. As a result the local unions hold him hostage in his hotel room -- no water, no room service, and no fuel for his jet - until he apologizes. But Frank Sinatra does things his way, and the words "I'm sorry" don't fit the bill.
