In this heist comedy, a pair of doo-wop singers called the Dukes (Chazz Palminteri and Robert Davi) have seen better days. They can no longer support themselves on just their music, so they take a chance, hoping to raise their income by stealing a huge amount of gold from a dental lab. Since they lack experience, there's plenty of laughter and learning for the Dukes as they attempt the theft. In addition to his starring role, Davi wrote, directed, and produced this film, which also features Peter Bogdanovich, Miriam Margolyes, and Melora Hardin. Dukes Reviews: 3 stars out of 4 -- "[A] potent directing debut for actor Robert Davi....Davi offers a moving portrait of a man caught in the process of trying to reinvent himself....THE DUKES is damn near impossible to resist."-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

A network TV president is perhaps the most cold-hearted man ever, but his holiday spirit is given a painful booster shot by three vengeful ghosts. In this darkly comic updating of Charles Dicken's Christmas classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL, Bill Murray portrays Frank Cross, an evil, crass, executive who caters to the lowest-of-the-lowest common denominators, firing people whenever he wants to and for the flimsiest of reasons. Therefore, to change his cruel and tasteless ways, Cross is taken on a trip through his past to his future, accompanied by ghosts David Johansen and Carol Kane, so that he can achieve redemption. From a screenplay by SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE's "Mr. Mike," Michael O'Donoghue. Academy Award ...
| | 17 Again Blu-ray (2009) Widescreen; With Digital Copy; With DVD
Dukes review
 $32.49
In the vein of FREAKY FRIDAY, PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED, 13 GOING ON 30, and other "switch" comedies, 17 AGAIN answers the fantasies of disgruntled middle-aged parents everywhere, as high school basketball star turned average failure of a dad Mike O'Donnell (Matthew Perry) gets to begin again at age 17 (where--bonus!--he's played by Zac Efron). A strangely IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE-style freak storm sends his body back through time to age 17, and since he's been living with his nerdy zillionaire buddy (Thomas Lennon) after being kicked out of the house by his wife, Scarlet (Leslie Mann), she and their kids (Michelle Trachtenberg and Sterling Knight) aren't privy to the change, enabling Mike to be covert father while posing as a high school student, and to tempt his wife into quasi-cougardom. The temptation never gets too far, thank heavens, for Efron belongs not to any one woman but to all the girls enraptured by his star turn in HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. He's the reason to see the film and he clearly has great fun playing someone much older and squarer than himself (the idea that he will eventually become Perry again is allowed to carry its own melancholy existential charge). Directed by Burr Steers (IGBY GOES DOWN), this is breezy fun for the whole crazy family, with a soundtrack that includes new and classic songs from the likes of Cat Power, Santogold, Kenny Loggins, and Young M.C.

| | Bart Got A Room DVD (2009)
Dukes review
$21.49
As though Danny Stein's life weren't difficult enough with his parents' impending divorce, the high schooler now has to struggle to find a prom date. This comedy from Brian Hecker stars William H. Macy (WILD HOGS) and Cheryl Hines (CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM).
Bart got a room--a hotel room--and he’s booked it for senior prom night. Though the title character of BART GOT A ROOM appears only in one brief scene towards the end of the film, it’s his uber-geek specter that hangs over writer-director Brian Hecker’s comedy, a semi-autobiographical ode to teenage angst that aims for AMERICAN PIE-style yucks with a light edge of Philip Roth’s comic neuroticisms. The plot is centered on the hopelessly dateless Danny (Steven Kaplan), a gawky band nerd who must decide between taking his best friend, Camille (Alia Shawkat), to the prom, and attempting to woo the date of his dreams, a pretty blonde cheerleader. Along the way he endures derision and peer pressure from friends, as well as uncomfortably frank advice from his divorced parents, played by Cheryl Hines and William H. Macy (who sports a fantastically bad Jewfro). Set in the geriatric environs of terminally sunny south Florida, Danny’s world offers constant reminders of the road he’s headed down should he not solidify this one life-defining event: Macy’s Ernie grapples with loneliness by seeking women in chatrooms, while Hines’s Beth sees relationships as a shortcut to financial security. Kaplan gives a winning performance as the feckless, desperate Danny, coming across like a hormone-driven mix of Jason Biggs and Woody Allen. And while Hecker’s subtle screenplay doesn’t offer outsized laughs, it's notable for its lack of raunch and snark, a quality ...
