"The Proposal" -- MALE ONLY SCREENING
Please note: PR firm looking for predominantly male audience to gauge
interest in this movie among men.
When high-powered book editor Margaret (Sandra Bullock) faces deportation to
her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged
to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew (Ryan Reynolds), whom she's
tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few
conditions of his own.
The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family (Mary
Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson, Betty White), and the always-in-control city girl
finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an
impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails,
Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious
consequences.
The Proposal is rated PG-13 and will be released on June 19,
2009.

FOOD, INC.
In FOOD, INC., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our
nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been
hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's
regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA.
Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that
often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American
farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted
chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even
tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of e coli—the
harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually.
We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an
epidemic level of diabetes among adults.
Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food
Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) along with
forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield Farms' Gary Hirschberg and
Polyface Farms' Joe Salatin, FOOD, INC. reveals surprising—and often
shocking truths—about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a
nation and where we are going from here.

"Humpday"
It’s been a decade since Ben (Mark Duplass) and Andrew (Joshua
Leonard) were
the bad boys of their college campus. Ben has settled
down and found a job,
wife, and home. Andrew took the alternate route
as a vagabond artist,
skipping the globe from Chiapas to Cambodia.
When Andrew shows up unannounced
on Ben’s doorstep, they easily fall
back into their old dynamic of macho
one-upmanship.
Late into the night at a wild party, the two find
themselves locked in
a mutual dare: to enter an amateur porn contest
together. But what
kind of boundary-breaking, envelope pushing porn can two
straight
dudes make? After the booze and "big talk" run out, only one
idea
remains--they will have sex together...on camera. It's not gay;
it's
beyond gay. It's not porn; it's art. But how exactly will it work?
And
more importantly, who will tell Anna (Delmore), Ben's
wife?
Writer/director Lynn Shelton, director of "My Effortless
Brilliance"
and recipient of the "Someone to Watch Award" at the 2009
Independent
Spirit Awards, expertly mines the biggest ironies of the male ego
to
hilarious effect. "Humpday" is a buddy movie gone wild.

to
play games at all.
