Theatrical Trailer

Duane Hopwood finds David Schwimmer delivering one of the best performances of his career as an alcoholic, divorced dad whose luck is running out and whose compromised judgment is costing him access to his kids. Duane, a pit boss at an Atlantic City casino, jeopardizes visitation rights with his two daughters when he's caught driving drunk with one of the girls asleep in his car. That mistake sets into motion a number of others, pushing Duane into a corner of despair precisely when he needs to maintain stability to see his children. Writer-director Matt Mulhern, best known as a character actor, resists the temptation to turn his story into a cautionary nightmare about the evils of addiction. Subtle, low-key and frequently wry, Duane Hopwood is really! a smart film about how hard yet inevitable it is for anyone t! o outgro w a broken life and allow the elements of a new one to form. Janeane Garofalo, somewhat unrecognizable under platinum-blonde hair, is very good as Duane's sympathetic but determined ex-wife, and Judah Friedlander slowly but surely grows on one as Anthony, a yammering, would-be comic whose loyalty to Duane really matters in the clutch. --Tom Keogh

Around the Bend : Widescreen Edition

• Widescreen

THE STORY OF FOUR GENERATIONS OF MEN WHO ARE SUDDENLY BROUGHT TOGETHER BY THE CHANCE TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH ABOUT THEIR FAMILY'S PAST. THE JOURNEY WILL TAKE THEM OUT ON THE ROAD TO AWORLD FULL OF SURPRISES.Around the Bend concerns four generations of Lair men. There's eccentric patriarch Henry (Michael Caine), prodigal son Turner (Christopher Walken), bitter grandson Jason (Josh Lucas), and great-grandson Zach (Jonah Bobo). Shortly after Turner arrives in L.A. for a surprise visit, the ailing Henry dies. The remaining three take off on the road trip he had insisted on before his untimely passing. Jason is none too pleased--after all, his father ran out on him 30 years ago--but it was his Henry's dying wish. So there they are on the way to New Mexico, where long-buried secrets will finally be revealed. Heartwarming, if predictable, Around the Bend represents the softer s! ide of its three leads and Walken is particularly effective in an uncharacteristic role (i.e., miles away from The Deer Hunter). His Turner is a bit odd, to be sure, but mostly he's just a regular guy who's made a few--rather substantial--mistakes. --Kathleen C. FennessyThis 2004 Warner Independent Pictures feature chronicles the reunion of four generations of men--from a great-grandfather to a young boy--who are reunited after many years. When the eldest dies, the remaining trio sets out to uncover a long-standing family secret. It becomes a road trip full of surprises, some comic, some dramatic, all moving and personal. Throughout, the film is enhanced by Golden Globe nominated composer David Baerwald's wonderful new score, as well as choice song selections from a collection of rock 'n' roll legends.

Thelma and Louise they're not.

First of all, Hilary and Rosemary Delaney are not friends--worse, they're mother and daughter. Hilary's a wayward t! hirty-something running from a marriage proposal, and Rosemary! 's her d isapproving mother, a retired lawyer who can't drive and won't fly.

So they're driving together across country.

In a cherry-red Mustang.

With a potbellied pig named Reginald, and a life-size cutout of Rosemary's late husband.

Should be a fun trip.

As the miles tick by, Hilary ponders why the word "marriage" has her so terrified and finds she's got a lot to learn--about her mother, love and life in general. Together, Hilary and Rosemary will discover what's around the bend...if they don't drive each other crazy, or drive off a cliff first.

Freelance writer Jaine Austen is not your typical Los Angelino. She's not rich, she's not thin, and she's definitely not starstruck. She is a sarcastic, sometime-sleuth who's never met a carb she didn't like...or a mystery she couldn't solve...If clothes make the man, then what do Jaine's elastic-waist pants and T-shirts make her? A fashion nightmare, according to her neighbour, Lance. She doesn't expect Lance - who works in the designer shoe department at Nieman Marcus - to understand...which is how she ends up visiting his favourite boutique, Passions. While the couture is definitely not for Jaine, the staff's gossip is. Tiny orange-haired clerk Becky starts complaining about her co-worker Giselle - a.k.a. "Frenc! hie" - a brittle blonde who, when she's not making fun of customers behind their backs, adds extra-marital notches to her Chanel belt. Though Jaine doesn't land a new look, she does land a new job when Passions' owner gives her a chance to write their new magazine ads. But when Jaine arrives the next morning to pitch her ideas, she finds Frenchie pitched over, stabbed in the neck by one of her own stilettos. Now all Jaine has to do is figure out who hated Frenchie the most, in a case of death by designer knock-off...The metrics in this report cover three year trends in the industry, broken out on a state-by-state basis.

From the Book Cover

In Down at the Double Helix Shoe Store, Mr. Wolff takes us into the realm of his perceptions where we cannot help but glean insights on ourselves and our circumstances. His work is incisive, thought provoking, often humorous, and, on occasion, profanely blunt. The sum of these poems is a new voice that allows us to see our understanding of what comprises happiness from a welcome and empowering viewpoint. Mr. Wolff´s debut effort is an illuminating no-holds-barred "must read."

From the Press Release

Emotional illness is endemic in our modern times. More than ever, the technologies we have created for greater connectivity have, ironically, also resulted in increased feelings of isolation and loneliness. Combine this with ingrained unwholesome emotional behavior, which has be! en handed down through untold generations, and you begin to grasp the complexity of our common plight. Fred Wolff shares his journey towards emotional healing in a new collection of poems entitled Down at the Double Helix Shoe Store.

Emotional healing can start by reorienting the focus of our perceptions, which in turn can enable us to transcend conventional awareness or consensus reality. Transcending our day-to-day awareness can reveal previously veiled viewpoints through which the process of emotional healing can begin. Happiness lies within; it is a function of our inner landscape. This inner landscape is ours to design and to create. When the creation of this landscape is done with an increased degree of awareness, a more satisfactory result can be achieved. Thus, each of us has the right to and the inherent potential for peace and happiness, for emotional well-being.

Wolff, who through long and arduous struggle has come far in this arena, shares with u! s his quest through his art. He serves us poems rife with inte! llectual play. Through his perceptions he displays common subjects from an uncommon and illuminating point of view, and he does so with clarity. Each poem provides thought-provoking insights. Here is one unique poetry collection.
