RAMEN GIRL (2008, PG-13, 102 Mins) -An American slacker (Brittany Murphy, 8 Mile; Girl, Interrupted) abandoned by her boyfriend in Tokyo finds her calling in an unlikely place: a local ramen house run by a tyrannical chef who doesn't speak of a word of English. Undaunted by the chef's raging crankiness, Abby convinces him to teach her the art of ramen preparation...and despite hilarious clashes of culture and personality, she learns how to put passion and spirit into her life as well as her cooking. LOVE AND OTHER DISASTERS (2006, R, 90 Mins)- From the director of Madonna: Truth or Dare, this delightful comedy about the rocky road to true love stars Brittany Murphy (8 Mile, Just Married) as the free-spirited "Jacks." An assistant at British Vogue, Jacks adores fixing up her friends, but when it comes to finding the right guy for herself, she's totally clueless. Love comes knocking at her door when she meets sexy photographer Paolo (Santiago Cabrera, TV's Heroes), but will she dare to let her guard down and let romance in? VENUS AND VE (2010, R, 96 Mins) - Dumped by his girlfriend (Je Pressly, My Name Is Earl) and desperate for cash, Eric (Eddie Guerra, Jolene) and his buddies, Stu (Donald Faison, Scrubs) and Alex (Eddie Kaye Thomas, American Pie), think they’ve found the perfect easy score – robbing a warehouse full of counterfeit casino chips that belong to old-school Ve mobster Frank Santino (Jon Polito, Miller’s Crossing). But, when the heist goes bad and Alex is taken prisoner by the Santinos, these wanna-be criminals need to sort out the mess, cash out the chips and get their buddy back alive! Also starring Molly Sims (Las Ve), Roselyn Sanchez (Without a Trace), Florence Henderson (The Brady Bunch) and Joe Rogan (Fear Factor), VENUS AND VE ups the ante on high stakes comedy. DYSFUNCTIONAL FRIENDS (2011, NR, 111 Mins) - A group of college friends are reunited after the death of a larger-than-life friend. Little do they know, a will was left behind. The will says each of his nine remaining college friends will receive a large sum of money, if they can stay in his mansion together for one week without leaving. If one of them leaves, they all forfeit the money. Soon, craziness ensues as there is a reason these "friends" haven’t kept in touch in a decade. Scandals, jealousy, and skeletons in the closet all come out over the course of the week, jeopardizing everyone’s inheritance.
