DIRTY DEEDS is an Aussie gangster flick set against the booming casino underworld of late 1960s Sydney. Bryan Brown (COCKTAIL, THE THORN BIRDS) stars as Barry Ryan, an Australian mobster who controls the city`s gambling scene and is making a killing off the casino slot machines. His profitable venture attracts the unwanted attention of the American Mafia, who attempt to secure a piece of the action by sending in two of their henchmen: the pensive, world-weary veteran Tony (John Goodman) and his violent, not-too-bright sidekick Sal (Felix Williamson). Ryan soon finds himself fending off the trigger-happy Yanks, Outback-style, while also contending with his feisty wife (Toni Collette), needy mistress (Kestie Morassi), and a crooked cop (Sam Neill). Utilizing flashy camerawork, black comedy, and mobster protagonists, writer/director David Caesar tips his hat to the criminal capers of Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie, while lending the proceedings a distinctly Down Under flair.

Plaza Suite (DVD)
Based on Neil Simon`s hit Broadway play, PLAZA SUITE is a collection of three comic episodes set in Suite 719 of New York City`s famed Plaza Hotel, each starring comic legend Walter Matthau. In the first vignette, Matthau`s wife (Maureen Stapleton) discovers--on their 23rd wedding anniversary--that he`s been having an affair with his secretary. In the second story, Matthau plays a sleazy Hollywood producer who summons an old girlfriend (Barbara Harris) to his room for afternoon sex. In the last segment, Matthau and his wife (Lee Grant) deal with their daughter`s wedding day jitters after she locks herself in the hotel bathroom. This trio of darkly comic stories bear Simon`s trademark humor, sophistication, and wry insights into the complex nature of human relationships.PG-13"
