Usama Alshaibi's documentary Nice Bombs: A Journey Back to Iraq follows the director as he visits his homeland for the first time in nearly a quarter century. He discusses how the country has changed since his childhood, and shows how the members of his family display their ease around the explosions that happen near their home on a regular basis. Their calm reaction to one of these incidents provides the film with its title. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
In this earnest coming-out-of-the-closet drama, David (Ben Berkowitz) and Jack (Ben Redgrave) are buddies whose relationship gingerly evolves into something more intimate. David is a womanizing slob who runs a Chicago comedy club, while his roommate, Jack, a beefy construction worker, grows bored with his female companion. This film, which was written and directed by its starring actors, was screened at the 2000 L.A. Independent Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
