"We are in the middle of a genuine mystery here!" The Orchard has released an official trailer for a strange holiday existential comedy titled Holly Star, the latest from filmmaker Michael A. Nickles. The film is about a broke puppeteer who returns home for the holidays and gets caught up in a treasure hunt with her paintball-obsessed best friend, her tango-dancing grandmother, and a childhood sweetheart.

"The company men"; with Ben Affleck, Thomas Kee and Gary Galone; directed by John Wells.
By Craig Younkin - December 10, 2010
“Company Men” has a nice cast and John Wells is the very talented creator of one of television’s best dramas (ER), but you have to wonder, why would anyone want to watch this dismal film about the economic crisis? Ben Affleck plays Bobby Walker, a sales associate laid off by ship-building company Gtx. For Bobby--used to conveying a sense of class with his Porsche and golf-club membership--to come to the realization that he is now just another person in a sea of displaced people isn't easy. After being rejected, jerked around, and forced to make sacrifices in order to pay the bills, Bobby decides, for the good of his family, that he must take a construction job with his wife’s brother (Kevin Costner). Phil (Chris Cooper) is not so lucky.
