A quirky comedy about a boy who's coming down while growing up.
The Buck Rules is a black comedy which follows the lives of five social misfits whose movie infatuated lifestyle has been thrown into turmoil by the depletion of their 'easy money' trust fund.
Hillary, Lyle, Edwin, Stevie and Ronald Mcdonald break down their choices into these options: kidnapping, illegal goods production or armed robbery. All of them must face the very things that drove them to a life in front of the television. With the quest for funds underway, we follow each group member as they attempt to complete their phase of the operation.
We meet Edwin's grandfather with his alleged Mafia links, Lyle's foul-mothed little brother, Hillary's crazy father and a traumatised Rent and Repent video shop employee named Humpty. When these characters are combined with a machine gun, an oversized grinder and an elephant cannon, the Vernon Vault's chances of keeping its assets intact are greatly reduced.
Film producer extraordinaire Bill Cushing interviews two screenwriters with varying consequences.

The story of hard-core villain Danny "The Dealer" Dempsey, who awakes one morning, in his heavily secured home, to find a letter resting on his pillow. The dealer is totally bewildered how it got there, as there are no signs of an intruder or a break in. The mystery of who the letter is from (and what it contains) is something the dealer will not share, even with his closest friends or his very dear sister Sally .
The Dealer, normally a clear headed lateral thinker, is suddenly behaving totally out of character, and so begins the strangest 24 hours any one has ever witnessed from him. A crazy day unfolds in which he succeeds in ruining his sister's wedding, disrupting other gangland leaders and turning his hand to gambling on ludicrous bets. Slowly but surely, the dealer is dangerously offending and taunting everyone around him.
Could The Dealer be on the brink of self-destruction? Or will he somehow succeed in saving his own skin at the final hour, while revealing to all the secrets of the letter that has clearly been dictating his bizarre behaviour?
Abdul is desperate for the perfect family portrait. All he wants is to capture one moment in time when his family appear happy with his new wife, Michelle; even if it is just a 35th of a second.
In 1938 two producers hire hell-raising Hollywood star Leslie Grangely (Ewan McGregor) to play Bonnie Prince Charlie (also McGregor) in a movie about the 18th-century Jacobite Rebellion in Scotland. Soon after, a drunk Grangely disappears and the producers are forced to find a replacment. They trick a gullible, goofy extra with an uncanny resemblance for Grangely into playing the role of Bonnie Prince Charlie, 'The Great Pretender'.
A hilarious comedy and a paradox of epic proportions, The Great Pretender reconfirms Ewan McGregor's deft comic genius as he stars, doubles and extras in this riotous role-switching farce of a movie within a movie.
Have you ever wondered how it is that even the finest haircut can go from Barbie to bird's nest in the space of a few days? Martin Cosgrave has. He's an investigative journalist who thinks he's exposed a conspiracy used by the hairdressing trade to exploit unsuspecting customers for centuries.
Gaining the trust of industry insiders, he discovers their trade secret: a haircut which looks fantastic for a few days, then quickly deteriorates, forcing the customer to return for further grooming.
But while he is looking into this, Martin makes an even more astounding discovery. There is a second secret haircut, The Haircutter's Cut, which those in the know can obtain by making a secret sign.
Martin makes it his mission to track down The Haircutter's Cut, and a hair-raising undercover investigation ensues.
The Lives of the Saints is a dark and bizarre morality tale.
The story unfolds in the cafés, clubs and shops of Green Lanes, where Mr Karva is the boss: a ridiculous yet dangerous man. Othello, his stepson, is the young pretender, palling around with his girlfriend Tina and his weak-willed lackey Emilio. Life revolves around socialising, gambling and trying to scrape a modest living.
But that lifestyle is about to be thrown into disarray by an otherworldly, sickly-looking 10-year- old child. Mr Karva's errand boy, Roadrunner, stumbles across the child in the park and offloads the bizarre find into Othello's basement.
Thus begins an exhilaratingly strange series of events. It seems that the child is able to grant others their innermost desires... Soon Othello's dreams of limitless wealth are becoming reality. And true to form, his tyrannical stepfather wants to muscle in on the action.
It's Paradise on the streets of north London, but family ties and relationships are becoming increasingly strained and as Mr Karva himself says, 'every Paradise got its serpent'. He persuades the unstable Emilio to take the matter into his own hands, and the tale plummets towards its tragic conclusion.
The Lives of the Saints is a truly original, modern-day fable, which warns that what we wish for is not always what we need.
