Blink -- A harried business woman rushes through her day without even taking a moment to blink. She should have. Starring: Deborah Vancelette, Skyler Campbell, Scott Hennelly, Deke Black, Dana Morrison, Jennifer McAuliffe, Rebecca Schatzky and Ben Taxy

Blink -- Blink is a bold and curious attempt by its auteur to visually as well as psychologically investigate what ensues when pure love challenges destiny. The main character, Luwana starring Pamela Smith has to deal with the unfortunate circumstance of fighting for her daughter's life when the recklessness of a couple cause her daughter Blossom to venture on to the road less travelled. Blink was shot on location on 8th and Webster in Oakland as well as Ocean beach California. The cinematography was on point brought about courtesy of its cinematographer Michael Street and his amazing team. The great talents of Ed Gillies, Kabari Jackson and Genevieve Nizic present us with a diversity of convincing characters and a real and effective performance. The Oakland film commission and Diane Baker were very instrumental in making blink a reality. Jason Ragosta exhibited his savvy knowledge of film by carefully piecing together this Akendo Production. A short but very effective piece commenting on life, death, love, drugs and humanity.

Powerful and sweeping, the critically acclaimed Cradle Will Rock, starring Hank Azaria, Joan Cusack, John Cusack, Bill Murray, and Susan Sarandon, takes a kaleidoscopic look at the extraordinary events of 1930s America. From high society to life on the streets, director Tim Robbins (Dead Man Walking) brings Depression-era New York City to vivid life. It's a time when DaVincis are given to millionaires who help fund the Mussolini war effort and Nelson Rockefeller commissions Mexican artist Diego Rivera to paint the lobby of Rockefeller Center. A time when a young Orson Welles and a troupe of passionate actors risk everything to perform the infamous musical "The Cradle Will Rock." As threats to their freedom and livelihood loom larger, they refuse to give into censorship. Based on actual events, Cradle Will Rock will move you.

Chicago. Another town, another innocent scam for vagabond Bill Dancer (Jim Belushi of K-9 and Red Heat) and the curly-topped orphan he's cared for since infancy. But this time, Bill hits the jackpot: his newest con whisks them both from the poorhouse to the penthouse with lots of laughs along the way. Nine-year-old Alisan Porter (Parenthood, Stella) teams with Belushi, taking the title role in John Hughes' comedy that charmed moviegoers from coast to coast. Kelly Lynch (Road House, Drugstore Cowboy) joins the heartwarming fun as an attorney who falls for their scheme and takes them home. It's a situation that seems too good to be true. And it turns topsy-turvy when Lynch's jealous boyfriend intervenes. Reviewer Pat Collins of WWOR-TV pronounced Curly Sue "the feel-good comedy of the season." But with Hughes' wisecracking wit and tender touch, it's really a prize entertainment for any season.
