 BIG BAD MAMA - ROGER CORMAN: EARLY FILMS DVD
But Wilma's will-to-power is largely played for laughs: not only is she way in denial about her offspring's abilities (both of whom turn out to be brain-dead sex objects), but her whole mission is perceived as transgressive in the wrong ways, opening her up to ridicule and, in her nude scenes, degradation.
Wilma is depicted as a controlling bitch early on as she busts up Polly's wedding to a slap-faced boy-child and winds up running booze with an "uncle" who promptly dies by police bullet.
This does nothing to dent Wilma's enthusiasm: she becomes a comic figure for not seeing the writing on the wall of what she, her daughters, and womankind in general are supposed to be, which is pliable and non-threatening.

Wilma (Kirsten Johnson of "3rd Rock From The Sun") is a rich girl running away from her family and Betty (Jane Krakowski of "Ally McBeal") is a waitress at the local burger joint who takes Wilma in.
Wilma's mother is also trying to get her to marry Chip Rockefeller(Thomas Gibson from "Dharma and Greg").
The film is often boring, and simply it wasn't something that was necessary; why they even made this second film is beyond me. Although the first one was a success, it's been quite a while since.

 Philadelphia: Gay and Lesbian Film Fest
Seven interconnected short films chronicle the love triangle that develops between Cat (Lorri Hamm), her roommate Melissa “Mouse” (Candace Thompson) and a stranger, Dakota (Sara Laudonia).
While the budget of this homemade film is maybe a tenth of the prize money, its heart is in the right place, skewering gay and straight stereotypes alike.
Filmed with a handheld DV camera, director Ilan Duren Cohen (“Confusion of Genders”) certainly captures the heart of these characters with a documentarian’s authenticity, and yet viewers will either be engaged by these characters, or find them and their situations tedious.

The film begins abruptly with a long interior shot of an airport terminal, where returning-from-overseas serviceman Fred Derry (Dana Andrews) lugs his belongings and crosses a map of America on the floor.
In the film's first major opening sequence, the three share cramped space on board a soon-to-be retired Air Force bomber in its observation cone, as it flies at low-level across America.

 THE FLINTSTONES IN VIVA ROCK VEGAS
Best of all is the inclusion of the Great Gazoo, a Flintstones staple entirely left out of the 1994 film — Cumming also plays this role, inheriting the mantle of TV Gazoo Harvey Korman (who has a cameo as Wilma's doting dad), and he's a scream.
With both of these high-profile family-oriented films on the way, Universal is clearly making a strong bid for the family audience that Disney has the reputation of having a strong grip on.
The film, called Viva Rock Vegas, is a prequel to the 1994 hit and sees newly-weds Fred and Wilma in Stone Age Vegas.

 Missoulian - Seventy-five films: Dive in
What remains is a library of high-caliber films that attests to the growing popularity of documentary film making, said Hawes-Davis, adding that carving the mountain of films down to a molehill made for a difficult task.
The idea to bring a film festival of such scale to Missoula was prompted by what Hawes-Davis saw as a dearth of independent films, particularly after the Crystal Theater ceased showing such films in the summer of 2002.
The sheer number of independent films has skyrocketed recently, and making them can be inexpensive - leading to what Hawes-Davis calls the "democratization of production." And so distributors are relying on festivals like the BSDFF to find winners.
