Debuted in 2004 and winner of the Grand Jury Prize of European Fantasy Film in Silver at the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival, Calvaire (The Ordeal) is the latest French language horror film to arrive on the American screen. The first feature-length work from Belgium-born writer/director Fabrice Du Wlez, Calvaire is the story of Marc Stevens, a traveling singer and performer on the road working the retirement home circuit a few days before Christmas. When his van breaks down en route to his next gig he finds himself stranded in the middle of the countryside and forced to take shelter in the ramshackle Bartel Inn. While the innkeeper, Mr. Bartel (Jackie Berroyer), seems hospitable and friendly at first (he feels a connection to Marc, because Bartel is a former comedian), it is not long before Marc is no longer Bartel’s guest, but his prisoner.

Who doesn’t love an underdog sports film from the city of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. First, Sylvester Stallone gave us Rocky, then four more Rockys. This week, the Marky Mark Wahlberg vehicle Invincible comes out. Then in December, Rocky 6 enters the ring. And next year, the great Philly sports film tackles a new sport: Bass fishing. Yes, the high-powered, tenacious, and nerves-of-steel sport of Bass Fishing. Mike Iaconelli, the 2003 Bassmaster Classic Champion, has signed away the rights to his life story, “Fishing on the Edge,” to Fox Atomic, which has added another stellar title to their growing library of other stellar titles, like Revenge of the Nerds: The Remake and 28 Days Later 2: 28 Weeks Later.

The world behind the world. Those lives that we all see, but never experience. The pain that is reserved for the broken, the downtrodden, the lost.

Kessler, formerly a scribe for the HBO hit 'Sopranos' has been tapped to pen Black Flies based on the unpublished memoirs of Shannon Burke, a former Emergency Medical Technician in Harlem.
