OUT OF THE FOG is the film version of the Irwin Shaw play The Gentle People, refashioned to mollify the Hollywood censors by expert wordsmiths Robert Rossen, Jerry Wald, and Richard Macaulay. Humphrey Bogart lobbied strenuously to play the leading role of charming but ruthless waterfront loan shark Harold Goff, but in the end Warners chose the more "bankable" John Garfield. The terror of Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, Goff is able to extort five dollars per week from people like tailor Jonah Goodwin (Thomas Mitchell) and short-order cook Olaf Johnson (John Qualen), knowing full well that his victims are too good-hearted to fight back. Making matters worse for Goodwin is the fact that his restless daughter, Stella (Ida Lupino), seeking to escape her humdrum existence, has fallen in love with the fascinating Goff, leaving her mild-mannered sweetheart George Watkins (Eddie Albert) in the cold. The Irwin Shaw play was a symbolic plea for a united front against European fascism, suggesting that the only way that dict

OUT OF ORDER is the pilot episode for the original Showtime television series of the same name. Eric Stoltz stars as Mark Colm, a Hollywood screenwriter floundering in his marriage to clinically depressed Lorna (Felicity Huffman), who is also a screenwriter. As Lorna masks her depression with drugs and alcohol, Mark contemplates a series of affairs with sexy suburban housewives Danni (Kim Dickens) and Annie (Justine Bateman). Helmed by real-life husband-and-wife screenwriting team Wayne and Donna Powers (THE ITALIAN JOB, DEEP BLUE SEA), OUT OF ORDER is a semi-autobiographical exploration of the pressures of couplehood in the Hollywood entertainment industry. Employing a witty meta style--Mark believes his life is being filmed for an audience and frequently addresses the camera or explains his thoughts via voiceover--and featuring cameos by William H. Macy and Peter Bogdanovich as industry-types, OUT OF ORDER offers a fanciful, yet realistic, insider's view of love and life in Tinseltown.

A successful career. A charismatic new husband. A bright, limitless future. Philadelphia lawyer Campbell Smith seems to have it all. But in Bonnie MacDougal's powerful new novel of suspense, beneath the thin surface of tranquillity and realized dreams, dark events threaten to throw Cam Smith's neatly arranged life profoundly--and perilously--Out of Order.On the night of a lavish party celebrating newlyweds Doug and Campbell Smith, tragedy strikes when the thirteen-year-old son of an influential senator is kidnapped. The senator--Doug's mentor--urges Cam to track the boy down. It is an offer she cannot refuse, despite her own unsettling suspicion that the statesman seems less concerned about his child than about keeping the scandal out of the headlines. But as Cam soon discovers, everyone has something to hide.With a circle of wealth and ambition closing in tightly around her, Cam penetrates layer upon layer of lies and invention. For the abduction is not what it seems. After using all her investigative skills to find the missing boy, she begins to uncover the shocking story that links him to his captor. Surprised at her deepening attachment to them both, struggling between her duty and what is best for the child, Cam starts to question her loyalties, her marriage, her priorities, even the man she thought she loved.As she pieces together an intricate pattern of abuse and cover-up; as a series of brutal murders looms ever closer, Cam is forced to make the most agonizing decision of her life--to reveal the devastating secret of her own past . . . and the shattering lie she has lived for years.The Philadelphia Inquirer called Bonnie MacDougal's last searing novel "one hot read." The San Francisco Chronicle declared it "captivating." With Out of Order, MacDougal raises the stakes--and the heat--creating a gripping, passionate thriller.

The Sims are returning to Xbox, only this time they have a case of cabin fever and are itching to explore the great outdoors. The Sims Bustin' Out offers a completely new neighborhood to visit and over 40 different types of characters to interact with. Instead of just taking a stroll out on the sidewalk, players can have their Sims purchase cars or scooters and visit such destinations as a gym, a nightclub, or even the neighborhood house party. Social moves can once again be acquired to round out the Sims' personalities, including a towel snap, moonwalk dance, and 78 additional actions to annoy or to impress others. Items like a climbing wall or a high dive can be placed outside for added fun, and the lineup of potential careers has increased by ten, incorporating such offbeat roles as mobster, athlete, mad scientist, and fashion victim. Designed to offer "ten times" the amount of replay as the first title, Bustin' Out features multiple ways to win the game. Players are now free to jump from different careers and levels in an attempt to access additional objects and locations. Two-player support is available throughout the game instead of being confined to a separate mode, so players can work for or against each other while building their characters. Each Sim also possesses individual personalities, which are exhibited through body language. Players can also save their Sims to an Xbox Memory Unit so they can bring them over to a friend's house for more Bustin' Out action.

Eternal icon of cool Robert Mitchum is at his sad-eyed, world-weary finest in OUT OF THE PAST (aka BUILD MY GALLOWS HIGH), one of the true classics of postwar American film noir. Mitchum stars as existential antihero Jeff Markham, a retired private detective with a shady past who is hoping for a fresh start with a new name, a new love, and a new job running a small gas station in a rural California town. But Jeff's past comes back to haunt him in the guise of menacing gangster Whit Sterling (Kirk Douglas, in only his second big screen role), who had hired Markham to track down his double-crossing moll, Kathie (Jane Greer, in definitive femme-fatale mode), after she had shot him and absconded with $40,000 of his money. The trio's entangled history is revealed via flashback and voice-over narration that includes some of the snappiest dialogue in film-noir history ("You're like an autumn leaf that the wind blows from one gutter to another"), which, along with Jacques Tourneur's moody direction and Nicholas Musur

He’s out of jail and bent on revenge "Extraordinarily realistic style" —The Observer (U.K.) "Ingenious…deftly made" —The Daily Telegraph (U.K.) After an eight-year prison stint for a failed bank heist, Frank Ross (Tom Bell, Prime Suspect) returns to his old gangland haunts to find the snitch who sent him to jail. The smooth, streetwise ex-con quickly adjusts to the new attitudes of the disco-tinged ’70s but discovers that although neighborhoods change, old grudges never go out of style. Played with steely intelligence by Bell, Ross doesn’t hesitate to pull a gun or swing a fist if it suits him. Can he find the rat without falling into the clutches of a ruthless crime boss (Brian Cox, Rise of the Planet of the Apes) or the detective (Norman Rodway, The Bretts) determined to destroy him? Filmed on location in South London, Out depicts a world where gritty pubs, dingy flats, and run-down office buildings teem with high-living mobsters, cash-starved hustlers, and corrupt cops. BAFTA nominee Bell delivers a psychologically complex portrait of a gangster whose inner demons torment him as ferociously as his flesh-and-blood enemies.

At 27, Jason Talley of Corning, New York, leads an orderly life, precisely processing loans for a mortgage company. Its warmest spot is his friendship with Sriram Sundaram and his lively wife Vidya. One night Sriram secretly confides he's planning a trip home to India to visit his mother and asks Jason to hold her gift, a gorgeous red silk sari. The very next evening Jason arrives home to sirens and cops--Sriram and Vidya are dead. The cops call it a murder/suicide. Grieving, Jason decides to fulfill Sriram's quest and books himself an impulsive trip to India. It's a package deal, he learns, designed for retirees. But luckily there's a gorgeous young woman aboard, a train buff with an escape plan, and before he knows it, Jason has cast aside all semblance of order and embarked with Rachel on a perilous journey. How dangerous he doesn't guess since only now does he learn that Sriram, computer genius, was a defaulter from Bangalore World Systems, believed by his start-up gang to have sold them out to software CEO Ravi Murty in America. Jason has sent details of his trip to Sriram's e-mail list, hoping to meet up with his dead friend's past. And he does. . . .
