Julie Delpy describes her directing debut, LOOKING FOR JIMMY, as "more of an experiment than an actual film." Shot on digital video, at a cost of about $3000, it was shot over a 24-hour period in Los Angeles, stopping the camera only to change the tape. It's a freewheeling excursion through contemporary Los Angeles. Delpy plays Al, who becomes distraught when her boyfriend, Jimmy, fails to show up at her friend V's birthday party. She drags V (Emily Wagner) away from her party to help track down her missing man. V's brother (Andrew Wagner, the DP) videotapes their search. They find that Jimmy's apartment is empty except for a plastic frog. Their search takes them through the night, and well into the next day. They run across a variety of amusing, distinctly Southern Californian characters, most notably a would-be mystic, played by Bruce Ramsay, who uses the frog to channel Jimmy, and tells Al that Jimmy's in France, watching a Brazilian soccer match. Delpy successfully captures a strain of ennui peculiar to Los Angeles, but at the same time, Al's desperate search, which is clearly more about what she lacks than what Jimmy has, sheds light on a universal longing.
This is the only Emily Wagner video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Freddy Sauvignon. Looking For Jimmy | Orig Year | 2001 | | CD Universe Part number | 6870834 | | Release Date | New Looking For Jimmy TR release date | | Rating | Not Rated | | Movie Details | Color |

Looking For Jimmy movie DVD
In A GIRL CUT IN TWO, Gabrielle Snow (Ludivine Sagnier) has an enviable choice: between two rich, handsome men who desire her. But in this thriller from prolific French director Claude Chabrol (MERCI POUR LE CHOCOLAT), the decision isn't an easy one, and the results are far from romantic. Gabrielle meets the distinguished, married writer Charles Saint-Denis (François Berléand, THE TRANSPORTER) and is immediately captivated. At the same time, she encounters a spoiled heir, Paul (Benoît Magimel, THE PIANO TEACHER), who is equally taken with her. Gabrielle bounces between the two men until she finally makes a choice. But despite her fairy tale princess looks, there ...

$13.55 
In sci-fi thriller BABYLON A.D., Vin Diesel's Toorop is an antihero who quotes the best of cinema's bad boys from films such as THE GODFATHER and SCARFACE. But all the tattooed muscleman really wants to do is leave poverty- and violence-ridden Russia and return to his family's home in upstate New York. However, he has been banned from his native America, so when a Russian mobster (a prosthetic-enhanced Gérard Depardieu) offers him a job and a forged passport that will take him back home, he agrees, even though the mission seems close to suicide. He takes a strangely gifted orphan named Aurora (Melanie Thierry) from a Mongolian convent to Harlem, his only help being a nun--though it is a nun played by action star Michelle Yeoh. Thugs attack them on every leg of their journey, following them as they take car, train, sub, and snowmobile to ensure Aurora's safety.
BABYLON A.D works best when it's revealing facets of its futuristic world, from the refugee-camp look of Russia to the high-tech gloss of a 22-million-people-strong New York City. Production designers Sonja Klaus and Paul Cross, as well as director Mathieu Kassovitz (GOTHIKA), deserve praise for creating settings that ...

The first HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL movie to be released straight to the silver screen, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 finds the cast of the beloved earlier installments, all students at East High, dealing with the ups and downs of senior year.
