SHATTERED SHATTERED SKY
SKY
Directed by Steve Dorst, Dan Evans
The story of how America led the world to
solve the ozone crisis. Will we dare to do
the same with climate change?
Thirty years ago, scientists reported a hole
in the ozone layer "the size of North
America." The culprits were man-made
chemicals called CFCs, which were
prevalent in billions of dollars worth of
refrigeration, air conditioning and other
products that had revolutionized America's
way of life.
With doctors forecasting skyrocketing
cancer rates if changes weren't made, the
stakes were literally "life as we know it."
Yet companies remained bitterly opposed
to changing their products. Politicians
were slow to act. Like with today's CO2
emissions, an invisible compound was
threatening the Earth's life-support
systems, but a solution seemed beyond
reach.
Eerily reminiscent of today's energy and
climate crisis, Shattered Sky tells the story
of how America led the world in solving the
biggest environmental crisis ever seen.

COMEDY
JACKIE JACKIE MASON: MASON: MASON: ONE
ONE
ANGRY ANGRY MAN
MAN
Modeled after the stage and screen
production Twelve Angry Men, One Angry
Man is the court-room dram-edy starring
Jackie Mason as himself.
Weeks before the premier of Jackie
Mason's latest Broadway show, Jackie
has been called to jury duty. Just like
everyone else, he is reluctant to serve;
naturally, he employs the talents of his
lawyer, Raoul Felder, to help relieve him of
his civic duty. During the selection process,
Jackie is questioned by the prosecution
and the defense. Jackie is so offended by
the defense's questions, he talks his way
right onto the jury. The jury is set: people
from all walks of life: the Arabic foreman
(Nicholas Viselli), an Italian sleaze-ball
(Tony Darrow), a gay gossip columnist
(Mo Mandel), a transvestite (Frank
Anthony Polito), a country music singer
(Brandon Kinney), a 9/11 rescue worker
(Rolando Millet), a self-hating Jew (Marty
McDonough), a psychologist (Paul
Borghese), a feminist (Pamela Sabaugh),
a model (Stacey Sipowicz), a teacher
(Mike Newman), and of course, Jackie
Mason.
On trial for murdering a decorated police
veteran is Yusef (Justin P. Nardecchia), an
Arabic teenager. The judge (Mark Levin)
instructs the jury not to hurry their decision
and also not to be harassed by Jackie.
The jury is ushered into their deliberating
room by the Bailiff (Dick Capri) where they
begin their process.
Inside the jury room Jackie creates utter
chaos and takes it upon himself to
convince the otherwise "not guilty" leaning
jury that Yusef is guilty. The characters
share stories with one another about their
lives and experiences, tempers flare,
emotions run rampant, and Jackie realizes
he may have made a mistake. Jackie,
being soft-hearted as he is, takes
responsibility and tries re-convincing
everyone that Yusef is innocent. This is a
must-see DVD for all comedy lovers and
Jackie Mason fans.

NUNSET NUNSET BOULEVARD: BOULEVARD: TH THE TH E
NUNSENSE NUNSENSE HOLLYWOOD
HOLLYWOOD
BOWL BOWL SHOW
SHOW
The Little Sisters of Hoboken have been
invited to sing at the Hollywood Bowl.
They are thrilled at the prospect until they
arrive and learn that they are booked into
the Hollywood Bowl-A-Rama, a bowling
alley with a cabaret lounge, not the famed
Bowl they were planning on.
The show is structured in the tried and true
variety format, but as always, things go
awry. The Sisters have to contend with
announcements from the bowling alley
public address system as well as the
activity on the lanes, which is occasionally
heard but not seen.
Midway though the first act, someone get
wind of the fact that the famed movie
producer, James Todd, is across the street
auditioning for roles in his new movie
musical, "NUNSET BOULEVARD: A Song
from the Hart," about the life of Dolores
Hart, the famous movie star who became
a nun.
Can this be their big break?
Featuring songs including Hello,
Hollywood; The Bowling Blue Blues; That
Kid's Gonna Make It; and Don't Look Back;
you'll understand why NBC-TV called the
show "Sinfully funny!"
