Product Description
For Lenny, the allure of a good Cuban cigar has become more than a form of relaxation- it s become his living and a very lucrative one at that. He became a "Stick Man" to get himself off the streets and now enjoys the luxuries of life,
Lenny enters Domino s private cigar club, with no understanding of how cut-throat the world of smuggled Cuban cigars can really be. This is a place where Hollywood s high rollers come to play. Their common interest: fast women, expensive spirits, and the love of a good cigar. The "sticks" must be special, and Domino plans to offer the most sought after cigar of them all the El Mariposa.
Smuggled in from Cuba this valuable shipment has been stolen from Fidel Castro s own private stock and brought into the States by a third class smuggler named Mark. Mark has agreed to sell the desired Mariposas to Domino for a substantial payoff. But unbeknownst to Mark, his Cuban girlfriend, Maria, has devised a double-cross and plans to trade the cigars for illegal arms to procure the liberation of Cuba.
When Lenny hears about the shipment he offers Mark and Maria a great deal. Mark knows that Lenny s offer is much better deal than the one he made with Domino but Maria becomes outraged and wants nothing to do with Lenny.
A comedy of errors finds Lenny caught up in Maria s secret web of deceit. What started as a simple cigar deal, now becomes a race among Domino and his boys, a group of crafty arms dealers and two deceitful detectives from the FBI. Against his better judgment, Lenny becomes sympathetic to Maria s cause and to make things worse... he finds himself falling in love with her.
Sticks is a cleverly crafted exhale into Hollywood s seductive world of cigar smuggling. When the smoke clears, Lenny will learn that an expensive cigar can be more than hazardous to your health... it can be deadly.

The Mick Fleetwood Story - Two Sticks and a Drum

ASIN: B00006IUIV Release Date: 2002-10-08 |
Amazon.com
Fleetwood Mac drummer and cofounder Mick Fleetwood comes across in this hour-long documentary as a doggedly persistent, admittedly flawed, but ultimately satisfied survivor of some 35 years in the rock & roll trenches. Fleetwood Mac's long and sometimes weird history is documented, from the days when they were led by the fiery blues guitarist Peter Green through the triumphant Buckingham-Nicks years. In the end, though, the program is more Mick than Mac, with a warts-and-all approach that doesn't shy away from his various addictions, two failed marriages, assorted affairs, and, finally, redemption in the arms of his current wife, Lynn. As for the doggedly persistent part, consider this: Fleetwood was so determined to keep the band together that he once took first wife Jenny on tour despite knowing that she was having an affair with another band member. That didn't work, needless to say, but for the most part, Mick Fleetwood's done all right. --Sam GrahamDescription
Mick Fleetwood cast a long shadow as the co-founder of one of rock's most successful bands--Fleetwood Mac. He was the lanky, frenzied drummer whose unorthodox style drove the band's luscious harmonies and whose slightly crazed persona balanced out the group's ethereal qualities. In this definitive portrait of a life lived within one of rock 'n' roll's most turbulent groups, the story traces Mick Fleetwood's life from his childhood to his early career playing with the world's greatest blues musicians to his years with Fleetwood Mac. Formed in 1967, the group began with its roots firmly planted in the blues and evolved toward pop-rock as the line-up changed. Ironically, Fleetwood Mac's most successful album, "Rumours," with its carefree melodies and bouncy rhythms, was written about the internal tensions that eventually tore the band apart. Includes interviews with B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Peter Green, John McVie, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and John Mayall!Customer Reviews:
It's a keeper.......2004-06-28
If you're looking to see Stevie hit the high notes on "Stand Back" or seeing Lindsey finger pick a guitar like no other, this is NOT the dvd for you -- buy a performance recording instead. If you're a Mac fan interested in Mick as an individual and if you're interested in the band history, you'll find that here.
Never Thought I Could Not Like Something By Fleetwood Mac.......2004-05-18
One of the better Fleetwood Mac related documentaries.......2004-01-01
Very entertaining!.......2003-10-18
Who cares? Just give me new FM music........2002-11-13
There have been so many FM biographies. How many times will each member going to tell the stories of the Rumours era, leaving the band, re-joining the band, the plethora of drugs, the luxuries, etc.
I've been a fan of their music for 15 years. It's time that they move on and stop talking about their indulgent past.

Description
J.C., a bisexual hustler with a mama fixation, sells himself to anyone who'll pay his price: "I said, ten bucks or I'll break your hand!" Turning tricks in the balcony of a movie theater, cruising a bathhouse, or hanging out along The Meat Rack, J.C.'s only interested in cheap sex and quick cash. But when he sees an old coot attacking a Jersey-girl named Jean, J.C. rescues her -- and is immediately forced into making a porno by two knife-wielding transvestites! Plus: Peter and Buddy are throwing a 4th of July Fire Island Party and you're all invited! Leather-Queen George will be there, bragging about his rubber bed sheets. So will The Lavender Guru, a loquacious flower child incessantly babbling hippiespeak, and Bobby, who's "new to this whole thing," will be having a panic attack. Two very different but equally nostalgic time capsules of the 1970 Gay Scene, full of love, lust, and naked butts.Customer Reviews:

UNDERGROUND WORLD OF *Cigar Smuggling~~~~~~~~~~*.......2001-05-10
I was excited to see this movie when I saw it was starring Lillo Brancato (A Bronx Tale, The Sopranos) He's hardly ever in a starring role even though he has obvious talent. I thought the DVD was cool, not the best, but it was all right. The resolution wasn't that good (it was kind of grainy), but it has a few decent features. (Trivia, short biographies of the actors, and some previews) I DID like the movie though - It has a GREAT SOUNDTRACK!! Lenny had some unusual friends (a midget and a transvestite) but the acting was good. Dick Clark made a cameo playing a guy buying illegal cigars!!! If you don't like independent films, or violence, it's not for you. But if you're crazy for Mr. Brancato or you like a good plot, then I recommend this movie: its 9O minutes of fun! Find this movie & watch it!

Moonbase [Region 2]

Customer Reviews:
By far, the WORST I've ever had the misfortune of seeing.......2001-03-25
Much unfortunately, those are the only perks, and I'll add that after the story about Armstrong is finished, the man it was meant to calm down is relieved just long enough for terrorists to surprise and kill him. How idiotic is that?
The special f/x looked like they were done with a home video camera and an obsolete bluescreen found in a Salvation Army. The same goes for the props. The suits that the protagonists use are biohazard suits on loan from the CDC. The suits that the antagonists use are black spandex and goggles. The gravity on the moon is terribly simulated, and only by slow movements and one's words about being able to lift great weight. The final explosion meant to completely vaporize anything in its radius is merely a simple fade technique from trash to no trash. Call me crazy, but I would think that such an explosion would vaporize everything. Instead, it makes the garbage disappear and doesn't touch the moon's soil. I don't know how much more fake anyone can get.
The plot just outright... me off. A group of prisoners escape from a maximum security prison and hop a shuttle to the moon to find some nuclear weapons. Somehow, this small group that is outmanned, outgunned, and possesses no knowledge of the moon's topography is always able to get the jump on everyone. First, they kill a young recruit on his first solo assignment. I can tolerate that, but when they killed off an entire security team twice their size and then crashed a shuttle carrying an even larger military contingent to the moon without losing more than two of their men, I almost smashed my TV. The phrase "Just shoot them!!!" comes to mind more than once.
In conclusion, if you buy this movie, give it to someone you hate because it has the anger capability of someone keying your car. The f/x which normally would be laughable have all the humor taken out by the plot. Any idiot can see that this doesn't even earn a star, and I'll add that I have a 186 IQ.
Mazzucato strikes again!.......2001-01-31
