Starbuck was co-written and directed by Ken Scott, who penned the screenplay with Martin Petit, the film stars Patrick Huard as David Wozniak, a 42-year old lovable but perpetual screw up who finally decides to take control of his life. A habitual sperm donor in his youth, he discovers that he’s the biological father of 533 children, 142 of whom are trying to force the fertility clinic to reveal the true identity of the prolific donor code-named Starbuck.
Produced by André Rouleau, the film also stars Julie Le Breton, as David’s long suffering girlfriend who suddenly finds herself pregnant and understandably reluctant to share parenthood with the unreliable David, and Antoine Bertrand, David’s longtime friend, Paul, an attorney who takes on his case while trying to disabuse him of the joys of parenthood.
It’s a story hugely sentimental full of unexpected reactions of some characters but plenty of charm and great humor sense. Mainly with anonymity laws have changed and 142 of these young adults want to meet him what is he going to do? Is he will be out of this intriguingly bizarre situation? Just see it because is really enjoyable French Canadian film will be will release on March 22 in Los Angeles and New York, with a national rollout to follow.

Don’t get mad – get everything!” is the mantra for DIVORCE PARTY THE MUSICAL-The Hilarious Journey to Hell…and Back! from the producer of the Off-Broadway hit, MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL promises a night of laughter and solidarity for all. The story centers on Linda, who is still reeling from the collapse of her marriage. When all she wants to do is have another bowl of Chubby Hubby ice cream, Linda’s three friends (along with a massage therapist/pizza delivery boy/make-over guru and others) decide to help her move on to a new beginning by throwing her the mother of all divorce parties. Using familiar songs with clever new lyrics, and coupled with a good dose of comic mayhem (and a touch of “naughty”) the girls cut loose on the realities of divorce, long term relationships and moving on.
The production coming to Los Angeles previously performed at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach and the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A separate, Canadian company performed the show at Stage West in Mississauga, Ontario last fall.

Coming in a new video streaming service at www.GrindhouseFlix.com, host to the weirdest, craziest, and most unbelievable grindhouse films from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s – and brand new world premieres.
The first film to make its world premiere on the service is OogaBooga, a tongue-in-cheek grindhouse exploitation flick in the vein of Django Unchained, starring two-timeGolden Globe winning actress Karen Black (House of 1000 Corpses), Golden Globe winning actor Stacy Keach (American History X), Siri, the curvaceous pornstar, and Internet sensation Maddox. Ooga Booga is directed by the prolific Charles Band, founder of Full Moon Features, and follows the murder of an innocent African-American medical student whose soul is transferred into the body of an obscure toy, eventually extracting his revenge by killing racists in the city. Definitely has some of the most humorous voices, full of vibrant colors, cartoony style, and humorous visuals but very creepy with some grotesque and bloody scenes. Certainly the general idea of its story, makes you feel like there’s so much to discover still.

What happens when your new best friend is your husband’s mistress? Madelyn Reid (Academy Award-winner Marcia Gay Harden) accidentally learns of her husband’s infidelity when she saves his sexy young mistress Lucy (Leonor Watling, TALK TO HER) from a bungled suicide attempt. When her unsuspecting young rival suggests the two new friends take each other’s advice – on everything – Madelyn sees an opportunity to seize the upper hand. But the plan backfires when Lucy, an aspiring actress, insists Madelyn keep her end of the bargain and orders her to star as King Lear in a community production, with Lucy playing The Fool. Things really get out of control when Lucy starts giving Madelyn instructions on dealing with an amorous coworker and a handsome stranger (Aidan Quinn, Prime Suspect, Weeds). IF I WERE YOU is a very entertaining look at the unexpected places that life can take us.
IF I WERE YOU features Joseph Kell, Michael Therriault, Gary Piquer, Bethany Jillard, Elizabeth Whitmere, Claire Brosseau and Valerie Mahaffey. The film was produced by David Gordian and Alan Latham for Paragraph Pictures and Tall Tree Pictures written and directed by Joan Carr-Wiggin (A PREVIOUS ENGAGEMENT). It really well structured in comedy full of versatility and cleverness with profound emotional connection. As a viewer might get a tease soon, just a little something to hold us over especially in death which is examined in a cutting memorial service scene that any survivor with a brain will understand magnetism is essential to the movie’s upward lift. Both characters know about their respective situations. Which, of course, makes things awkward when Madelyn befriends Lucy and the two bond over their relationship crises making it dramatic and comic at the same time. IF I WERE YOU will open in Los Angeles and New York on March 15 followed by a national roll-out.

Demi Moore has filed for divorce from Ashton Kutcher and the latest development says she tried for a mutual settlement with Kutcher but to no avail. Since both sides have lawyered up with big-time divorce-court gunslingers, we could have a nice juicy trial.
Kutcher and Moore were married for six years before they split in 2011 in a highly public separation following allegations that Kutcher had been unfaithful. The actor was reported to have committed adultery with 22-year-old San Diego-based administrative assistant Sara Leal, which was just the latest in a series of infidelity rumors made by media publications against him.
