Trailer for Don't Tempt Me. Heaven has sent its best, and the devil has enlisted his worst - Victoria Abril and Penelope Cruz co-star as agents doing battle for ultimate supremacy. The winner is to be decided by whoever can secure the soul of a short-tempered, punch-drunk boxer on earth. These sexy angels pull no punches, using their brains, wiles and of course, sex appeal. Damnation has never been this seductive, and seduction never more heavenly; he's not going to know what hit him, he's only human! Penelope Cruz and Victoria Abril are arch enemies in the Faustian tale Don't Tempt Me. Sent to Earth to determine the fate of boxer Manny (Demian Bichir), Lola (Abril) is an angel from Heaven, and Carmen (Cruz) is a devil pulled out of the vortex of Hell. For Lola, the mission is a chore, a nightmare, and puts her at risk for losing her cushy celestial spot. For Carmen, it is a gift, a vacation, and the one chance she has for redemption. Manny is stuck in the middle of these two manic forces, who must influence his decision to either stick with his competitive boxing career and risk a brain hemorrhage, or quit and save himself. At either end of the spectrum are higher forces. Gael Garcia Bernal plays the slick and slimy Davenport (read: Satan), ruling the chaotic, violent red regions of Hell from which Carmen was sprung. In Heaven, a lovely white oasis of cabaret and leisure time, Fanny Ardant is a graceful Marina D'Angelo who encourages Lola with her singing career. A witty and amusing film in French (Heaven), Spanish (Earth), and English (Hell), with many moments of tongue-in-cheek insight on the battle of good versus evil, director Augustin Diaz Yanes has spun an entertaining yarn with Don't Tempt Me.

Dr. Boyd becomes increasingly dangerous and Judith, Bayliss, and Preston have to fend for their lives. In 2005 the world was split in two about the decision whether or not to pull the plug on Terri Schiavo. After having a debate about the subject I couldn t help but think what was happening in the mind of Terri Schiavo. What was the state of her soul, of her conscious? This was the beginning of my idea for the film Mind Malady. Mind Malady is a story that takes a closer look at what happens to those that lie in a persistent vegetative state.
