Collection of four comedies following the Griswold family's
vacations. In 'National Lampoon's Vacation' (1983), the West Coast
Wally World theme park is the Griswold's holiday destination, and
they intend to drive there cross-country all the way from their
Chicago home. Father Clark (Chevy Chase) has planned the trip down
to its last detail, but the trouble begins as soon as they hit the
road. In 'National Lampoon's European Vacation' (1985), the family
win a holiday to Europe. Contrary to their expectations, however,
it is not a luxurious, all-expenses-paid kind of trip, but rather a
cut-price, economy deal which takes them to some of the Old World's
seedier locations. Of course, it's not long before they are caught
up in all manner of misadventures. In 'National Lampoon's Christmas
Vacation' (1989), the Griswolds decide to spend the Christmas
season at home. Needless to say, it is not as quiet as they had
planned. Finally, in 'Vegas Vacation' (1997), the clan head for the
gleaming lights of Las Vegas. Unfortunately, Clark is soon
transformed into a compulsive gambler, daughter Audrey (Marisol
Nichols) becomes an exotic dancer and son Rusty (Ethan Embry)
begins posing as a suave high roller.
Here is the story of Jerry Weintraub: the self-made, Brooklyn-born,
Bronx-raised impresario, Hollywood producer, legendary deal maker,
and friend of politicians and stars. No matter where nature has
placed him--the club rooms of Brooklyn, the Mafia dives of New
York's Lower East Side, the wilds of Alaska, or the hills of
Hollywood--he has found a way to put on a show and sell tickets at
the door. "All life was a theater and I wanted to put it up on a
stage," he writes. "I wanted to set the world under a marquee that
read: 'Jerry Weintraub Presents.'"
In WHEN I STOP TALKING, YOU'LL KNOW I'M DEAD, we follow Weintraub
from his first great success at age twenty-six with Elvis Presley,
whom he took on the road; to the immortal days with Sinatra and Rat
Pack glory; to his crowning hits as a movie producer, starting with
Robert Altman and Nashville, continuing with Oh, God , The Karate
Kid movies, and Diner, among others, and summiting with Steven
Soderbergh and Ocean's Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen.
Along the way, we'll watch as Jerry moves from the poker tables of
Palm Springs, to the power rooms of Hollywood, to the halls of the
White House, to Red Square in Moscow-all the while counseling
potentates, poets, and kings, with clients and confidants like
George Clooney, Bruce Willis, George H. W. Bush, Armand Hammer,
Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, John Denver, Bobby
Fischer . . .well, the list goes on.
And of course, the story is not yet over . . . As Weintraub says,
"When I stop talking, you'll know I'm dead."
Ocean's Eleven

going to be very happy about it.

But a vicious mob boss (Rod Steiger), his brash son (Eric Roberts) and a psychotic hired gun (James Woods) with a lethal grudge against Quick won't go without a fight.
