119 Minutes

Q.&A. With Director John Cring after the screening!
Four on the Floor is a comedy/musical about a quartet of gentlemen graduating from high school, who decide to keep their rock band going and their dreams alive for fame and fortune by starting a business of repairing cars. Of course, the problem is, none of them know anything about automobiles, so they need to find a mechanic who can teach them the business and whom they can teach to become their new bass guitar player. The movie features an original soundtrack of songs performed by the band Four on the Floor, including "Girls Just Smell So Good" and "Sex Is How We All Got Here," but also a montage of music from up-and-coming Nashville bands including De Novo Dahl, The Pink Spiders, And The Relatives, Eureka Gold, American Band and Luna Halo. http://www.extraordinaryfilmproject.com/

Self-control, courtesy, perseverance, integrity and an indomitable spirit - those are the basic tenets preached by the proud but stern Master Tae Kwon Do instructor Fred Simmons (Danny R. McBride, Tropic Thunder, Pineapple Express) at the Concord Tae Kwon Do Studio. There “the way of the foot and the fist,” a.k.a. the definition of the featured Korean martial art, turns boys into black belts and suburbanites into great warriors. That is, until Simmons’ seemingly perfect life starts collapsing when he discovers his wife having an affair on him. Twice. A chance to resurrect his life by battling his hero - the 8-time undefeated champ and star of the “Seven Rings of Pain” trilogy, Chuck “The Truck” Wallace - gives Simmons’ life purpose as he winds up on a wild, comic journey that will take him from egomaniacal bluster all the way to becoming the stand-up man of his delusional dreams.

When mild-mannered Ricky takes revenge on the drug pushing thugs who killed his girlfriend, he is sentenced to a maximum security prison. Within these walls lies a penitentiary like no other, run by a host of evil characters: A sadistic warden, his sniveling assistant, and the powerful Gang of Four all control the inmates through terror and brutal death! One scene, showing a character crushing another character's skull with his bare hands, later became a regular fixture on The Daily Show during Craig Kilborn's time as the host.
