EVERYTHING'S GONE GREEN
Cast: Aidan Devine, JR Bourne, Katharine Isabelle, Paulo Costanzo, Steph Song
Synopsis: 'EVERYTHING’s GONE GREEN is about when you get older and you feel certain doors are closing very quickly on you. It deals with that feeling of now or never.' says Douglas Coupland. In what is a sly comment on the times since his first publication of 'Generation X' over a decade ago, EVERYTHING’S GONE GREEN is the first story from popular writer Douglas Coupland written specifically for the screen. Ryan, late-twenties and not getting any younger, is tempted into a money-laundering scheme but struggles with his ill-gotten gains while trying to find happiness. In this comedy, Ryan tries hard not to try hard but is surrounded by over-achievers. His hippie friend has gone capitalistic in a not-so-legal way. His older brother has always been capitalistic in a legal if not-so-ethical way. His father, after losing his job and his faith in the system, has found profitable promise outside of the establishment. Even the woman he desires is comfortable to be cared for by a big-time car thief. As Douglas Coupland has done in the past, new questions are raised about the period we live in. Is it possible to just drift into the new century? Are the middle-class facing extinction? When is “enough” enough? And is there any hope that not everyone wants to be a millionaire.

LONELY HEARTS
Cast: James Gandolfini, Jared Leto, John Travolta, Laura Dern, Salma Hayek
Synopsis: John Travolta, James Gandolfini, Salma Hayek, Jared Leto and Laura Dern star in this crime-thriller, based on a true story. Two homicide detectives track down Martha Beck and Raymond Martinez Fernandez, a murderous pair known as the 'Lonely Hearts Killers” who lured their victims through personal ads in newspapers. Martha Beck (Hayek) and Raymond Fernandez (Leto) were America's notorious 'Lonely Hearts Killers.' Their lethal scam was simple; they would swindle and then viciously murder lovelorn war widows who would answer their personal ads in which Ray would describe himself as a sexy Latin Lover. Ironically, Ray's initial introduction to Martha was as a prospective mark. But when they met, it was love at first sight, perhaps as a result of their penchant for kinky sex and their mutual love for duplicity and easy money. With Martha posing as Ray's sister, they bilked elderly spinsters and widows of their savings and then viciously murdered them in a bloodbath of sexual frenzy. When they were arrested, Martha and Ray confessed to 12 killings, although it is believed the actual number is closer to 20. At their sensational trial, Martha and Ray cooed, held hands and seemed as though they could not get enough of each other. Their plea of not guilty by reason of insanity was rejected, and on August 22, 1949, the homicidal lovers were sentenced to death. After numerous appeals, they were electrocuted on March 8, 1951, side-by-side in Sing Sing prison.
