Latino comic actor Luis Guzman starred in this eponymously titled sitcom as the owner of a donut shop and landlord of an apartment building, both located in Spanish Harlem. When dealing with his sharp-tongued, ethnically mixed tenants, co-workers, and loved ones, Luis demonstrated that he could give back as good as he got -- most of the time. The supporting cast included Diana-Maria Riva as Luis' ex-wife, Isabella, who hung around mostly to dispense insults and gobble down her former hubby's donuts; Jaclyn DeSantis as Luis' daughter, Marly, a level-headed type except when it came to her boyfriend, indolent "artist" Greg (Charlie Day); Charlie Day as Luis' assistant Richie, who carried a torch for Marly; and Malcolm Barrett as TK, a glib wheeler-dealer who spent most of his time trying to sell "valuable" merchandise which he'd recently fished out of the neighborhood dumpsters. Created and produced by Will Gluck, Luis made its FOX network bow on September 19, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Few things are more common than wood, but most people never think about how lumber goes from the forest to the construction site. Filmmaker David Fenster offers a look at the nuts and bolts of this process in the short documentary Wood. Fenster follows trees as their harvested in Oregon to a sawmill, where they're slowly turned into lumber ready for market; the film also profiles the men who work at the mill, the labor that's required to keep the plant up and running, and the economic and political concerns that are causing mills to close all over the country. Wood won the Jury Prize for Best Short Documentary at the 2007 Los Angeles Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
