Get Shorty -- Golden Globe winner John Travolta stars with Gene Hackman, Danny DeVito and Rene Russo in this wildly popular comedy of a gangster who turns into a big-time producer after he travels to Hollywood to collect a debt.

Chili Palmer, a cocky and smooth Miami loan shark/obsessive movie buff, is asked by a Las Vegas casino to go to Los Angeles to convince schlocky exploitation-film mogul Harry Zimm to make good on his gambling marker. Once Chili discovers that "I don't think the producer has to know too much," he sees no reason why he shouldn't be getting some of that action as well...and, besides, being a success in the movie business is a piece of cake for those schooled in more traditional criminal pursuits. Based on the 1990 novel by Elmore Leonard.

A romantic comedy about Michael (Jason Alexander TV's 'Seinfeld'), a loser whose recent girlfriend dumped him and to make matters worse, he discovers that his recently married brother Reggie (James Woods 'John Q,' 'Scary Movie 2') is planning to knock over the credit union where their own mother (Bea Arthur TV's 'The Golden Girls') works. When it's discovered that the security codes needed to pull off the heist are in the suitcase of the recent bride (Lolita Davidovitch 'Play It to the Bone,' 'Mystery, Alaska'), Michael helps her escape and the chase is on! Also starring Oscar-nominee Rob Reiner ('The Majestic,' 'Primary Colors'), Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated Joe Mantegna ('Bleacher Bums,' 'Liberty Heights'), Jay Mohr ('Pay It Forward,' TV's 'Action') and Oscar-nominee Haley Joel Osment ('A.I. Artificial Intelligence,' 'Pay It Forward').

Michael Makeshift is a schnook who just can't get over the fact that his girlfriend dumped him. To make matters worse, his gross landlord is bugging him for long-overdue rent and his brother's criminal tendencies are coming back to light.
