From The Back Of The Box

A sexy and mysterious painter uses the art of seduction to pit her half-brother and his best friend against each other in an act of revenge against her abusive father. After their father dies, Chapelle reunites with her half-brother Chazz who she has not seen since childhood when their father drove them apart as punishment for an unspoken "incident". Her return torments Chazz with forbidden desire, desire which becomes even more threatening when she uses it against him. In order to inherit their father's fortune, Chapelle must eliminate Chazz and she will stop at nothing, including involving herself in a dangerous love triangle with Chazz and his best friend Karl. The only question remaining is whether anyone can survive Chapelle's deadly passion...including herself.

The laughs are nonstop as Mark Chapin and a gang of ambitious young comics strive to make it in the exciting and colorful world of comedy at the famous comedy club in Los Angeles, THE FUNNY FARM. These budding comedy stars are as crazy off stage as they are on: Miguel "America's funniest illegal alien"; Miles, who can't decide if he's a black comic or a comic who happens to be black; Bruce, whose manic act borders on insanity; and Peter, in intense political satirist.

Mark soon realizes that it's not quite as easy to achieve success as he had planned. He is forced to come to terms with the difficult life he has chosen, and he matures in the process. The result is an insightful and heartwarming comedy about those who life the life of a comedian.

Queen (1993)
From The Back Of The Box
8 February 2002
There are two sides to every story, the saying goes. For Alex Haley, one side was ROOTS, the towering chronicle tracing seven generations of his mother's family. The other side comes to the screen in QUEEN, the remarkable history of the paternal side of the author's family. David L. Wolper is executive producer of this acclaimed adaptation of the story Haley was working on when he died. Halle Berry plays Queen, daughter of a slave and a plantation owner. During the turbulent decades of the antebellum South, the Civil war, Reconstruction and beyond, she searches for a home in the two cultures of her heritage-and at times is shunned by both. Rejection and hate are no match for her unconquerable will, however.
