Barry Levinson directs this satirical portrayal of two weeks in the life of middle-aged Hollywood producer, Ben (Robert De Niro), who must juggle the demands of his personal life with a series of ever more ridiculous setbacks as he struggles to get his new film completed. Industry insider Art Linson wrote the screenplay, which is adapted from his memoirs 'What Just Happened?: Bitter Hollywood Tales From the Front Line'.

Sean Penn, Ed Harris and Gary Oldman star in this neo-noir crime drama directed by Phil Joanou. Irish-American Terry (Penn) returns to his old neighbourhood after a mysterious absence. He is reunited with his childhood friend Jackie (Oldman) who is now working in arson and extortion rackets, but a possible alliance with an Italian mob brings trouble for Terry's friends. The film is based on real-life New York gang, The Westies, who ruled 'Hell's Kitchen' during the 1970s.
