Synopsis

Carolyn is a struggling novelist whose addiction to the slots drives her to deceive her husband Tom. Though Carloyn claims to be working on her latest manuscript at a nearby coffee shop, the reality of her situation is decidedly more desperate. Meanwhile, local maintenance worker Clyde stands at the sidelines of the basketball court cheering for his little brother Godfrey while keeping his lingering gambling debts a well-guarded secret. In another part of town, the ageing Detective Bruner methodically trails malevolent bookie Victor as Victor’s small-time counterpart Augie patiently waits for his ship to come in. As the big game draws near and casino magician Walter befriends gambling-addicted novelist Carolyn, all of these disparate characters slowly come together on a tragic collision course.

Movie Website Updates for May 13 - May 19, 2007

May 19th, 2007

Either it was a really slow week or my Google-Fu is way off, because there's a short list this week. Not only were there very few new / updated sites, but there was nothing that jumped out as award winners. I was tempted to give the award to The Transformers - Official Site just for the new trailer, but I already geeked-out over that site when the first trailer came out. In the end there just wasn't a site worthy of the award this week. More...

Will Severance Rule the Limited Releases?

May 18th, 2007

It's a bad week for limited releases with only a couple managing to earn overwhelmingly positive reviews, and none of the wider releases earning even moderately positive reviews. Of the films on this week's list, the one I'm cheering for the most is Severance, but its chances are mixed. More...
