Based on a true story. One man, Isaac, leaves his old, seedy, gangster-filled lifestyle to start over with his family. After he relocates to Los Angeles, it isn't long before the world of crime that he tried to escape finds him. Threatened by a dangerously temperamental gangster, his criminal cousin and a drug lord, Issac finds getting a fresh start almost impossible. As those close to him fall victim to the promises of quick money by the way of the gun, violence surrounds him until he has no choice but to confront it. He'll do whatever it takes to keep those close to him safe, even if it means going back to his old ways.

A newly single woman confronts the perils of both dating and life in California in this independent comedy drama. Jules (Jenna Mattison) is an aspiring actress who has grown disenchanted with her handsome but remote boyfriend, Danny (Brad Rowe). Jules decides to break up with him and lands a role in a play in Los Angeles, where she has to fight off the none-too-subtle advances of her director, Michael (Bryan Callen). As rehearsals go on, Jules finds herself developing an infatuation with her co-star Ben (Brian Austin Green), but she isn't certain if she's ready for a new commitment so soon, which leads her into the strange world of dating in Hollywood. As she tries to sort out her future and her love life, Jules often confides in her close friend Vicki (Jennifer Blanc), a lesbian who carries just a bit of a torch for Jules, and she gets some solid if unexpected advice from middle-aged Greta (Edie McClurg). Jenna Mattison wrote the screenplay for Fish Without a Bicycle as well as playing the leading role, while Brian Austin Green did double duty by playing Jules' co-star and love interest while also directing the picture. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A gifted teenager is thrown for a loop when her parents' marriage falls apart in this coming-of-age drama set in the early '70s. Alex Markov (Angela Gots) is a 16-year-old who dreams of a career as a professional dancer; unlike many girls with similar goals, Alex is blessed with supportive parents, Dan (Robert Hayes) and Clarice (Ellen Greene), and a dance coach, Natalie (Genevieve Bujold) who believes she has the talent to make it. But Alex's life is shaken to the foundations when Dan and Clarice announce they're getting a divorce. Alex isn't sure how she feels or who is to blame; her boyfriend Patrick (Danny Masterson) seems more interested in drinking than being supportive, and her close friends Alissa (Soleil Moon Frye), Camelia (Alison Lohman), and Jan (Lisa Brenner) are as startled and befuddled as she is. Alex in Wonder was the first feature film from writer and director Drew Ann Rosenberg. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
