He has been building his business of fuel distribution to quite a big position. He now lands a deal to purchase a bay‐front storage facility that will increase the business greatly. But this deal has a risky clause which states that if Abel fails to pay the rest of the due payment, the facility and the deposit will be gone. His trucks have been targeted by robbers from the last few months, which scared his drivers. He even gets an intimidation visit by burglars. Additionally, the DA wants to charge the business with felony counts. His wife suddenly reveals a gun she purchases for her protection, with which he strongly disagrees. Despite his disapproval, Abel's drivers arm themselves with guns but lack the permit for them. When another heist occurs and one of his drivers fires shots, Abel has to go himself and find the missing driver to turn him to the police. The driver Julian is found, but he ran away when he's about to be turned in. Abel goes every where to get loans as the closure time nears. From one of his competitors the Lefkowicz, Abel gets a deal for 500 thousand dollars or the 1.5 millions he needs. The facility owner grants him an extra three day time, in which he uses to see his brother to ask him to mortgage his apartment to help Abel. He also convenes all his other surrounding competitors saying that he knows at least one of them is in league with his trucks hijackers. On his way home he accidentally finds one of his trucks being hijacked. He follows the truck through a chase. After capturing the robber he finds that one of his competitors has been buying the stolen fuel. When the money needed is only 600 thousand more, he runs out of time. But his wife suddenly pulls out a bank account with enough cash in it. To his surprise, his wife has been skimming money from the company all this time. Finally he decides to use the money and completes the deal. Julian comes to the facility; angry thinking that he gets nothing while Abel gets everything. Abel convinces him theres a second chance, but he commit suicide then and there. Abel then asks for a deal with the visiting DA for his business.

Synopsis
Annie Walker (Kristen Wiig) is a single woman in her mid 30s, living in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. After her bakery failed, she lost her boyfriend and all of her savings, and
now works in a jewelers store selling engagement rings. Although her flaky mother
(Jill Clayburgh) encourages her to return home, Annie rents a bedroom from British
immigrant Gil (Matt Lucas) and his lazy overweight sister Brynn (Rebel Wilson). She
has a sexual no-strings-attached relationship with the self-absorbed Ted (Jon
Hamm) but hopes for something more. Only her friendship with Lillian Donovan
(Maya Rudolph) keeps her sane.
Lillian becomes engaged to a wealthy banker living in Chicago and asks Annie to be
her maid of honor. At the engagement party at Lillian's house, Annie meets her
fellow bridesmaids: Lillian's cynical cousin Rita (Wendi McLendon-Covey), idealistic
friend Becca (Ellie Kemper), raunchy future sister-in-law Megan (Melissa McCarthy)
and Helen Harris, III (Rose Byrne), the beautiful but vain wife of Lillian's fiance's
boss. Helen and Annie take an instant dislike to each other as they are both become
immediately jealous of the other's friendship with Lillian, but Lillian persuades them
to spend time together. During a game of doubles tennis, Annie and Helen are both
hyper competitive, deliberately hitting each other with their volleys multiple times.
A few days later, Annie takes Lillian and the bridesmaids to a Brazilian restaurant for
lunch before going to a chic bridal gown studio. While Lillian is in the restroom,
Annie suggests a Parisian themed bridal shower, but Helen thinks this is a bad idea.
At the bridal gown studio, Helen again uses her influence to gain them access
because Annie did not realize that reservations were needed. However, everyone
Bridesmaids 2011
Page 10 of 11
except Helen (who did not eat the meat at the restaurant) becomes ill with food
poisoning. While everyone else becomes ill, Helen orders for everyone the
bridesmaids dress that she liked the best.
Worried about her finances, Annie suggests a bachelorette party at Lillian's parents'
beach house. Helen overrules her and books a trip to Las Vegas. Due to her pride
and ego, Annie refuses to allow Helen to buy a first class ticket for her and sits in
coach. Because Annie is afraid to fly, Helen gives her sedatives and alcohol. This
makes Annie inebriated and paranoid, and her outbursts cause the plane to land in
Caspar, Wyoming, where she, Lillian and the bridesmaids are escorted off the plane
and the bachelorette party plans are thus canceled. On the bus trip back to
Milwaukee, Annie tries to apologize but Lillian announces that she wants Helen to
take over planning the shower and wedding.
Annie continues to hope for a relationship with Ted, but begins flirting with Officer
Nathan Rhoads (Chris O'Dowd), a friendly traffic cop who earlier had let her off
without a ticket for broken taillights. Nathan encourages her to open a new bakery,
but Annie refuses; her business's failure was so painful that she has given up baking
entirely. After spending the night together, Nathan buys baking supplies so Annie
can make them a delicious breakfast. Offended, Annie leaves. At her apartment, Gil
and Brynn tell her she has to move out. With nowhere else to go, she moves back in
with her mother.
Annie travels back to Chicago for the bridal shower at Helen's house. Helen has
created an elaborate version of Annie's Parisian theme, then upstages Annie's
heartfelt, handmade shower gift by giving Lillian a trip to Paris to be fitted for her
wedding gown by one of the world's top designers. Enraged that Helen has taken
credit for the Parisian theme, Annie throws a temper tantrum and is kicked out of the
shower. Lillian tells her not to come to the wedding either. On the way home, Annie's
car breaks down. Nathan answers the emergency call and tells Annie how much she
hurt him and not to contact him again. Ted comes to pick Annie up but, when he
expects her to perform oral sex on him on the way home, she breaks off the
relationship and walks home.
Over the next several days, Annie becomes reclusive, refusing to leave her mother's
house and watching television obsessively. Megan finds her and tells her to stop
feeling sorry for herself. Annie realizes her errors and tries to make amends with
Nathan by baking him a cake. But he appears to leave it on his doorstep for
raccoons to eat.
On the day of the wedding, which Annie doesn't intend to attend, Helen appears on
Bridesmaids 2011
Page 11 of 11
the doorstep, begging for help in finding Lillian who has gone missing. Helen
tearfully explains how lonely she feels and apologizes for all she has done to hurt
Annie out of jealousy. They pull up alongside Nathan in his police car and after some
persuasion, he begrudgingly helps Annie and Helen find Lillian at her own
apartment. Lillian had gone there distressed by the micromanaging Helen had done
in planning everything and her fear that Annie will have no one to be with. Annie tells
her everything will be fine and helps her get ready for the wedding.
Annie resumes her place as maid of honor at the wedding, which Helen has
arranged to include neon signs, fireworks and an appearance by Wilson Phillips.
After the wedding, Helen again apologizes to Annie and hopes they can be friends in
the future. Realizing that Annie and Nathan were falling in love, Helen arranged for
him to pick Annie up after the wedding. He takes her home in his squad car, lights
flashing and siren wailing. (Imdb) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1478338/synopsis?ref_=ttpl_pl_syn

plot
When a suitcase is thrown out of a car which is involved in a car chase and
lands on the car of Sam Phelan (Chris Hemsworth), he initially curses his
luck. But then he finds the suitcase is loaded with money. After bringing the
money to his home, he convinces his wife Leslie (Victoria Profeta), that
they should use the money.
Meanwhile Pyke Kubic (Sean Bean) visits his twin brother Reese (also
Bean) in jail, who tells him that he threw a suitcase with about half a million
dollars from his car, when he was being chased by the police. Pyke
decides to go and find the money.
After Pyke finds the Phelans, he asks for the money back. They return
whatever money they have left after they bought a new car, furniture and
other minor expenses. Pyke forces the Phelans to rob stores, in order to
get him the amount of money the Phelans spent, which they do, reluctantly
at first, but later with more of a taste for it. After robbing over ten stores in
the course of a few days, they are still short on the money, and Sam
proposes to rob a bank. There he changes the gun without bullets which
Pyke gave him with that of the guards, and Leslie shoots Pyke in a
struggle. Pyke's car and his corpse are sent to a junkyard, where a worker
is bribed into destroying the car and the body.

Wikipedia:
Crossing Over is a 2009 American independent drama film about illegal immigrants of different
nationalities struggling to achieve legal status in Los Angeles. The film deals with the border, document
fraud, the asylum and green card process, work-site enforcement, naturalization, the office of counterterrorism
and the clash of cultures. Crossing Over was written and directed by Wayne Kramer, himself an
immigrant from South Africa, and is a remake of his 1995 short film of the same name. Kramer produced
the film alongside Frank Marshall.[1]
Crossing Over was filmed on location in Los Angeles in 2007.
Plot
There are several stories interwoven throughout the movie. For simplicity, they are separated out in this
description, each with its own paragraph.
After immigrant Mireya Sanchez is deported, immigration officer Max Brogan takes care of her little son,
and brings him to the boy's grandparents inMexico. Later the woman is found dead near the border.
Brogan returns to the grandparents to tell them the bad news.
Taslima Jahangir, a 15-year-old girl from Bangladesh, presents a paper at school promoting that people
should try to understand the 9/11 hijackers. The school principal reports this to authorities. FBI agents
raid the home and ransack her room, reading her diaries and a school assignment on the ethics of
suicide, criticizing her room as "too austere" and noting that she has an account on an Islamic website.
The profiler says this makes her look like a would-be suicide bomber. She is not charged for this, but it
turns out that she has only resident status. She was born in Bangladesh and brought to America at age
Page 6 of 7
three. Her father is studying for the citizenship test and Taslima's continued presence jeopardizes his
chances and puts the two younger siblings at risk. The young kids are U.S. citizens because they were
born in the U.S. Denise Frankel, the immigration defense attorney, suggests that instead of the whole
family being deported, Taslima can leave for Bangladesh with her mother while the rest of the family
stays in the US.
Cole Frankel, an immigration officer, gets into a car accident with Claire Shepard, an aspiring actress
from Australia. Realizing that she is in the country illegally, Cole makes an arrangement with Claire where
she will have unlimited sex with him for two months in exchange for a green card. When Cole eventually
says he wants to leave his wife for Claire, she makes it clear that she holds him in contempt and is only
sleeping with him for the green card. In a moment of clarity, Cole exempts Claire from completing the two
months and arranges for Claire to get her green card in the mail. Authorities eventually confront Claire
about the suspiciousness in her immigration paperwork and she admits to the sexual arrangement she
had with Cole. She leaves the country "voluntarily." Cole is arrested. His wife Denise Frankel adopts a
little girl from Nigeria, who has already been in the detention center for several years.
Brogan has an Iranian colleague, Hamid Baraheri. Hamid's family disapproves of his sister having sex
with Javier Pedroza, a married man. Encouraged by his father, Hamid's brother plans to scare the couple,
but things get out of hand and he shoots both of them and goes to Hamid who helps him hide the
evidence. Brogan slowly suspects Hamid's involvement as the film progresses.
Also, Javier Pedroza works in a copy shop and made extra money by providing counterfeit immigration
papers for undocumenteds. Claire had previously paid him for false papers before she had made her
arrangement with Cole. But when Javier was killed, the authorities discovered her documents among his
belongings which is what caused immigration to examine her case more closely.
South Korean teenager Yong Kim is about to be naturalized with the rest of his family, but he has started
to hang out with a bad crowd and ultimately participates in a convenience store robbery to "pop his
cherry" with his gang. Hamid happens to be at the same convenience store and kills the other robbers but
(due to his own guilt over his involvement in his sister's death) lets Yong Kim go free.
Gavin Kossef, a Jewish musician (really an atheist) from the United Kingdom pretends to be a religious
Jew in order to get a job at a Jewish school, which allows him to stay in the U.S. In a test where he has to
demonstrate his familiarity with the Jewish religion he does not perform properly, but a rabbi asked to
assess it approves it because of his voice. After the test, in private, the rabbi requires from the immigrant
to take lessons from him to eliminate the deficiencies in his knowledge.

[edit]Production and distribution
The film originally featured a scene in which an Iranian character is murdered by her brother in an honor
killing, but the National Iranian American Council opposed the plotline as being unrealistic and offensive,
and the killing was presented as a beating-up which got out of hand, removing the dialogue referring to
"honor" and "family honor".[2][3]
Additionally, Sean Penn filmed scenes as an immigration cop. However, his scenes were cut due to the
controversy over the honor killing plot, though producer Harvey Weinstein later claimed that Penn's agent
requested his scenes be cut out of the film.[4][5]
Though the film was shot in 2007, it was not released until 2009, and even then only in a limited theatrical
run. The film's original running length was 140 minutes long, but this film's producer (who had final cut
privilege) was convinced to edit the film down to under 2 hours when Harvey Weinstein threatened to
release the film straight to DVD and bypass a theatrical release altogether (in many countries outside of
the US, this was the case anyway).[6]
The film was distributed in the United States by MGM and The Weinstein Company. It was given a limited
theatrical release on February 27, 2009. It ultimately grossed less than half a million dollars in North
America, and just over $2.5 million internationally for a total of $3 million. The film has reportedly made
another $1.7 million in US DVD sales

which it cannot be shut down in the usual manner. Unlike a normal shut down, which shuts down all systems naturally and turns the machine
off without damaging it, a kill switch is designed to completely abort the operation at all costs, and be configured so that it is quick to operate,
and relatively obvious to someone other than the usual operator. It might have some protection to prevent accidental operation, but which
can be quickly moved out of the way. Often, they are used to protect people from sustaining an injury or being killed, in which case damaging
the machine may be considered to be acceptable.

Full synopsis
Dogville is a very small American town in the Rocky Mountains with a road leading up to it,
but nowhere to go but the mountains. The film begins with a prologue in which we meet a
dozen or so of the fifteen citizens. They are portrayed as lovable, good people with small
flaws which are easy to forgive.
The town is seen from the point of view of Tom Edison (Paul Bettany), an aspiring writer who
procrastinates by trying to get his fellow citizens together for regular meetings on the subject
of "moral rearmament." It is clear that Tom wants to succeed his aging father as the moral
and spiritual leader of the town.
It is Tom who first meets Grace (Nicole Kidman), who is on the run from gangsters who
apparently shot at her. Grace, a beautiful but modest woman, wants to keep running, but
Tom assures her that the mountains ahead are too difficult to pass. As they talk, the
gangsters approach the town, and Tom quickly hides Grace in a nearby mine. One of the
gangsters asks Tom if he has seen the woman, which he denies, and so the gangster offers
him a reward and hands him a card with a phone number to call in case Grace shows up.
Tom decides to use Grace as an "illustration" in his next meeting - a way for the
townspeople to prove that they are indeed committed to community values, and willing to
help the stranger. They remain skeptical, so Tom proposes that Grace should be given a
chance to prove that she is a good person. Grace is accepted for two weeks in which, as
Tom explains to her after the meeting, she has to convince the townspeople to like her.
On Tom's suggestion, Grace offers to do chores for the citizens - talking to the lonely, blind
Jack McCay (Ben Gazzara), helping to run the small shop, looking after the children of
Chuck (Stellan Skarsgård) and Vera (Patricia Clarkson), and so forth. After some initial
reluctance, the people accept her help in doing those chores that "nobody really needs" but
which nevertheless make life better, and so she becomes a part of the community.
In tacit agreement, she is expected to continue her chores, which she does gladly, and is
even paid small wages in return. Grace begins to make friends, including Jack, who
pretends that he is not blind. Grace tricks him into admitting that he is blind, earning his
respect. After the two weeks are over, everyone votes that she should be allowed to stay.
But when the police arrive to place a "Missing" poster with Grace's picture and name on it on
the mission house, the mood darkens slightly. Should they not cooperate with the police?
Still, things continue as usual until the 4th of July celebrations. After Tom awkwardly admits
his love to Grace and the whole town expresses their agreement that it has become a better
place thanks to her, the police arrive again to replace the "Missing" poster with a "Wanted"
poster. Grace is now wanted for participation in a bank robbery. Everyone agrees that she
must be innocent, since at the time the robbery took place, she was doing chores for the
townspeople every day.
Nevertheless, Tom argues that because of the increased risk to the town now that they are
harboring someone who is wanted as a criminal, Grace should provide a quid pro quo and
do more chores for the townspeople within the same time, for less pay. At this point, what
was previously a voluntary arrangement takes on a slightly coercive nature as Grace is
clearly uncomfortable with the idea. Still, being very amenable and wanting to please Tom,
Grace agrees.
At this point the situation worsens, as with her additional workload, Grace inevitably makes
mistakes, and the people she works for seem to be equally irritated by the new schedule and
take it out on Grace. The situation slowly escalates, with the male citizens making small
sexual advances to Grace and the female ones becoming increasingly abusive. Even the
children are perverse: Jason (Miles Purinton), the perhaps 10-year-old son of Chuck and
Vera, asks Grace to spank him, until she finally complies after much provocation. Soon
thereafter Chuck returns home and rapes Grace, as it becomes obvious that she is hardly
able to defend herself against exploitation.
After Tom discusses the possibility of escape with her, Grace is blamed by Vera both for
spanking Jason and for being raped by Chuck. In revenge, Vera threatens Grace with
destroying the porcelain figurines created by the town shop that she had acquired with the
little wages she was given, Grace begs for mercy, reminding Vera of how she taught her
children about stoicism. In response, Vera challenges Grace to stand up without shedding a
tear while she destroys the first two of the porcelain figurines. Grace not being able to hold
her tears, Vera destroys the remaining figurines. The symbol of her belonging in the town
gone, she now knows that she must leave. With the help of Tom and Ben, the freight driver,
she attempts escape in his apple truck, only to find herself raped by Ben and then returned
to the town.
The town agrees that they must not let her escape again. The money that she used to pay
Ben had been taken by Tom from his father, and Grace is blamed for the theft. Tom refuses
to come forward because, he explains, this is the only way he can still protect Grace without
people getting suspicious. At this point, Grace's status as slave is finally confirmed as she is
collared and chained to a large iron wheel which she must carry around with her, too heavy
to allow her to move anywhere outside the town. More humiliatingly still, a bell is attached to
her collar and announces her presence wherever she goes. Tom is the only male citizen of
the town that does not rape her.
This culminates in a late night general assembly in which Grace following Tom's suggestion
relates calmly all that she has endured from everyone in town. Embarrassed and in complete
denial, the townspeople finally decide to get rid of her. When Tom informs Grace to console
her, he attempts to make love to her, having been the only adult male townperson who
hasn't had sex with her. Grace, however, refuses to have sex with him. Angry partly at
Grace's rejection, but even more at himself for his realization that he would eventually stoop
to force himself upon her like everyone else in the town, Tom ends up personally calling the
mobsters, and later proposes to unanimous approval that she be locked up in her shack.
When the mobsters finally arrive, they are welcomed cordially by Tom and an impromptu
committee of other townspeople. Grace is then freed and we finally learn who she really is:
the daughter of a powerful gang leader who ran away because she could not stand her
father's dirty work. Her father confronts her in his big limousine and tells her that she is
arrogant for not holding others to the same high standards to which she holds herself. At first
she refuses to listen, but as she looks again upon the town and its people, she is compelled
to agree: she would have to condemn them to the worst possible punishment if she held
them to her own standards, and it would be inhumane not to do so.
So she accepts to be again her father's daughter, and immediately demands that the whole
town be eliminated. In particular, she gives the order to have Vera look on at the murder of
each of her children, having been told that it would stop if she can hold back her tears. The
film ends in a crescendo of violence: the town is burned and all its citizens are brutally
murdered by the gangsters on direct order from Grace, with the exception of Tom, whom she
kills personally with a revolver. As the ashes of Dogville smolder around her, she finds and
spares the only surviving resident, Moses the Dogville dog. Ironically, the only "dog" that
hasn't wronged her was the town dog that had disappeared while the town was revealing its
true nature. (Imdb)
