"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.

woman of his dreams. But as David's foolproof techniques prove to be

the Don Juan of the retirement community. But soon it's up to Grandpa
Joe to teach David that the best way to win the game of love is not to
play games at all.
