East Is East (DVD) A hysterical comedy about the turmoils of living in a large, restrictive family, EAST IS EAST is a genuine crowd-pleasing romp. The film takes place in 1970s London, where a deeply religious Pakistani father married to an English woman must come to terms with the fact that he is no longer able to control or influence his seven children. The children's attempts to break free from their strict Muslim upbringing and enjoy life in '70s England provide the film with its biggest laughs. But EAST IS EAST also contains an honesty and awareness of details that take the film to a deeper level.
Directing: Damien O`Donnell
ACTORS: Om Puri, Linda Bassett, Jordan Routledge, Archie Panjabi, Emil Marwa
Latham Entertainment Presents (DVD) Entertainment mogul Walter Latham rose from obscurity and hardship to become one of the most successful comedy promoters in the country. His roster of talent is a virtual who`s who of modern urban comedy--Chris Tucker, Bill Bellamy, Steve Harvey, Martin Lawrence, D.L. Hughley, Bernie Mac--and his comedy specials THE ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY and its follow-up THE QUEENS OF COMEDY were both huge hits that launched the careers of then-unknown comedians such as Cedric the Entertainer and Mo`Nique. Latham builds upon that success and introduces a batch of fresh talent with his new comedy special LATHAM ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS. Featuring familiar faces like Hughley and Sommore, as well as newcomers Bruce Bruce, J. Anthony Brown, Earthquake, and Rickey Smiley, this collection of outrageous standup comedy filmed live in Chicago is a welcome addition to the comic hilarity that is the Latham legacy.
Directing: Chuck Vinson
