BONNEVILLE

Jessica Lange, Joan Allen and Kathy Bates hit the road in BONNEVILLE, a story about three friends who ''come of age'' for a second time on a trip across the great American West.  Faced with the decision of a lifetime, Arvilla Holden (Lange) loads up her 1966 Bonneville convertible and, with her friends (Allen, Bates) in tow, sets out from Pocatello, Idaho en route to Santa Barbara.

As they detour to spots like Bryce Canyon and Las Vegas, it doesn't take long for the women to realize Arvilla has something unexpected in store.  But what none of them realize is that what began as a simple trip will end up becoming a chance to rediscover themselves, their friendship, the importance of promises - and of letting go.  Also starring Tom Skerritt and Christine Baranski, BONNEVILLE unites three of the most acclaimed actresses of our time in a story that celebrates fun, adventure and living life to the fullest.

ESCANABA IN DA MOONLIGHT

It’s the day before the 1989 hunting season opens.  For generations, the men of the Soady family have trekked to the same ramshackle deer camp north of Escanaba in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to drink, cause a little bit of trouble, and bag bucks.  But in the words of Patriarch Albert (Harve Presnell), “Dat year camp was a tense as a moose’s butt durin’ fly season.”

At 43, Reuben Soady (Jeff Daniels) is in danger of becoming the oldest member in the history of the family never to bag a buck.  As the fateful dawn approaches, Reuben attempts to change his luck by altering several of the time-tested rituals of Soady deer camp, but only succeeds in fueling a series of strange and unexplainable events.

The Trouble With Dee Dee Poster

THE TROUBLE WITH DEE DEE

Dee Dee Rutherford (Lisa Ann Walter – The Parent Trap, Bruce Almighty) has never been able to figure out what her father, Bill (Kurtwood Smith – That 70’s Show, Dead Poets Society), wants from her.  Like oil and water they’ve lived essentially separate for the past 15 years – Bill running his Fortune 500 company from the city and Dee Dee on the dole, chasing an endless series of outlandish adventures from his summer home.  Now, on the eve of his retirement, Bill finds he’s got one piece of unfinished business: to finally make an upstanding woman of his brash, neglected and undisciplined daughter.  But in laying down the law, he learns Dee Dee’s capable of a lot more than he ever knew and soon finds his tactics are punishing him more than her.  As Dee Dee struggles to placate her father, she’s confronted by the reality that she “doesn’t know how to be anybody else” but her complicated, unrefined, unsinkable, adventure-seeking self.  In the end, each drives the other to the same surprising discovering of what it is Bill really wants.

Walter and Smith turn in award-winning performances supported by Mason Gamble and J.P. Manoux as reluctant “sidekicks for a force of nature (Variety)”.

SILENT SCREAM

It seemed like a really nice way to say, “thank you.”  Dr. Barren offers his psychology class a weekend at his remote vacation home because they helped with his research.  But they barely arrive before the worst starts to happen.  One by one, each student disappears.  When A-student Nicole (Melissa Schuman) arrives a little late with her friend, she can’t help but feel something is wrong – where is everyone?  Perhaps there’s an uninvited guest who’s just not in a very social mood.  Terror is definitely not on vacation in this bloody psychological thriller that mixes friendship, romance and the ultimate in mind manipulation.
