P.S. Your Cat is Dead! (DVD)
Actor Steve Guttenberg makes his directorial debut in this witty black comedy based on the acclaimed novel and play by James Kirkwood (of A CHORUS LINE fame). It`s New Year`s Eve and out-of-work Los Angeles actor/writer Jimmy Zoole (Guttenberg) is having a very bad night. His girlfriend has just left him, his latest play has been canceled after only one performance, and he has just found out that his adored cat has died. On the brink of a breakdown, Jimmy discovers Eddie (Lombardo Boyar), a cat burglar, hiding under his bed and decides to take the law into his own hands. Eager to teach the burglar a lesson, Jimmy captures him and ties him to the kitchen counter in a desperate act of revenge. Drunk on power, Jimmy tortures and torments the gay Mexican burglar for the next 24 hours. But, Eddie fights back with clever words and the two bicker and spar over the course of an extremely claustrophobic evening. Trapped together in a twisted standoff, what initially begins as a game of cat-and-mouse becomes a strange bonding experience, as the two supposedly different men bond over their extreme situation and their shared struggles. A New Year`s Eve like no other, this bizarrely twisted comedy focuses on the character acting of director-writer-producer-star Steve Guttenberg and his talented costar Lombardo Boyar.NR"

Death and the Compass (DVD)
Alex Cox (REPO MAN) directed this stylized adaptation of Jorge Luis Borges labyrinthine detective story about a totalitarian city of the future plagued by a rash of bizarre crimes. Peter Boyle stars as Lonnrot, a decidedly even headed detective prone to philosophizing and Christopher Eccleston is his nemesis, Red Scarlach, whom Lonnrot believes could be behind these ritualistic crimes. Set in a surreal landscape that provokes Lonnrot`s philosophical musings and leads him through mystical cabals and conspiracies within conspiracies, DEATH AND THE COMPASS is a remarkable adaptation of Borges` story, and a fascinating, often exhilarating film.NR"
