THE DOORMAN EXCLUSIVE CLIP #1

Opening July 18 in New York City at City Cinemas Village East

A film crew has set out to make an insiders’ guide to the legendary New York City club scene with its most famous gatekeeper, Trevor W., “starring” as their host.

Trevor has the power. He knows people. But more importantly (as Trevor points out), he knows people who know him. After mysteriously losing his job, Trevor fails to inform the film crew following him. He struggles to keep up appearances in front of the camera while his glamorous, jet-set “celebrity” lifestyle goes into an abrupt and awkward tailspin.

Trevor W. may have held power over many important people, but what’s a Doorman without a door?

Skewering the velvet rope circuit, this fictional documentary starring Lucas Akoskin features dozens of cameos by real-life boldface names including Peter Bogdanovich, Thom Filicia, and Amy Sacco.

THE DOORMAN opens at City Cinemas Village East on July 18, 2008 in New York City.

The film is unrated with a running time of 76 minutes.

EVE comes to realize that WALL*E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL*E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen. Joining WALL*E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots.

AUGUST

Two brothers try to keep their start-up financial company afloat on Wall Street during August 2001, the month before 9/11. source

We had the opportunity to attend an advance screening and here is our movie review. Josh plays a dotcom millionaire who falls hard after the internet bubble bursts at his company Landshark.com. We think the story would have worked better if the story arc showed more success and balanced it with the Land Shark CEO’s failures. Josh Hartnett fans won’t be disappointed if they want to see some Josh beefcake. Josh is shirtless several times in the movie to show off his tattoos and even has an intense love scene. Josh also flashes some skin when he’s bending over to prepare dinner for a date. Josh has several monologue scenes to show everyone he has got the internet startup lingo down. We recommend this film if you want to watch Josh Hartnett and have to see his movies. However, one of our favorite Dot-umentary films about the internet bust was the documentary “Start Up.Com”. This fascinating cinema verite movie directed by Chris Hegedus and Harvard alum Jehane Noujaim follows the birth and failure of new media company govWorks.com. What works in this film is we cared about best friends Kalil Izaza Tuzman and Tom Herman. Unfortunately, there aren’t any likeable characters in the movie August for anyone to feel compassion for when the company is bankrupt. Click here to read the full movie review.
