“At the North Pole they have little helpers who do all the work. In Los Angeles they’re called Mexicans,” says Claudia (Emily Tosta). It’s a joke, delivered during the opening scenes of Angel Gracia’s Christmas romcom, but it sums up the mood of life in a place with significant racial tensions. Gracia explores that tension with a light touch, having fun with stereotypes and the ridiculousness of many attendant beliefs.
Claudia works far away from her family, partly because she didn’t want to pass up a career opportunity but partly, one suspects, because her doting father Bennie (George Lopez) just wasn’t giving her any space. To him, she’s still the little girl in the numerous family photos scattered around his home. There’s a new man in her life, however – mild-mannered white guy Lief (Jack Kilmer). When she takes him to Los Angeles to join her family Christmas,...

From Prada to Nada
Starring Camilla Belle and Alexa Vega
Directed by Angel Gracia/font>
Rated PG-13
There is no greater tragedy than a promising story misdirected. Like a beautiful oil painting caught in a hurricane, no matter how classic the depiction or recognizable the content, there is little chance of the survival of its integrity. Such is the case with Angel Gracia’s From Prada to Nada, a modern day adaptation of the Jane Austen novel, Sense and Sensibility.
Set in Los Angeles, sisters Nora (Camilla Belle) and Mary Dominguez (Alexa Vega) are left orphaned and penniless after the death of their seemingly wealthy father. Forced out of their Beverly Hills home by their estranged brother’s (Alexis Ayala) flagrantly avaricious wife, (April Bowlby) the two take up residence with their Aunt (Adriana Barraza) and a familial slew of Mexican women in the treacherous, unexplored jungle of East L.A. From their,...

"From Prada to Nada" cast made a trip to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of their movie in the Live Regal Cinemas on Tuesday, January 18. Despite the chilling weather, Camilla Belle opted an open pantsuit and a ruffled raw silk bra top that bared her midriff, making it an unconventional choice of wardrobe.
Joining the 24-year-old beauty at the screening was another lead star Alexa Vega. The newlywed, who donned a red Lipsy dress, was hitting the red carpet with the companion of husband Sean Covel. She completed her look with Sophia jewels, but she was most proud of her wedding ring which she flaunted in front of cameras.
Other cast members making appearance that night were Wilmer Valderrama, April Bowlby, Nicholas D'Agosto, Adriana Barraza, Patricia De Leon and Kuno Becker. Director Angel Gracia was also present, while other stars like Carla Ortiz, Fernanda Romero and Mason Cook came as guests.

Cast: John Cusack, Jennifer Carpenter, Ksenia Solo, Mae Whitman, Sonya Walger
Director: Morgan O'Neill
Summary: An obsessed cop is on the trail of a serial killer prowling the streets of Buffalo, New York. When his teenage daughter disappears, he drops any pretension and professional restraint he might have to get the killer.
Analysis: Shot almost three years ago now, Dark Castle had originally planned to release this thriller back in late 2009. However for reasons unspecified, it has been sitting on a shelf for some time and keeps getting delayed. In cases like these, the most obvious reason is usually the correct one - it stinks (eg. "Case 39"). The company certainly has had its fair share of box-office duds lately including "Whiteout," "Ninja Assassin," "The Losers," "Orphan" and "Splice".
Yet Cusack generally has good taste in projects, his last venture into horror was the surprisingly effective Stephen King...
