Croupier (1998) Trailer

Croupier


 Life's a Gamble

Croupier is a 1998 film starring Clive Owen as a croupier, and was directed by Mike Hodges.

It's tempting to put too much weight on the way screenwriter Paul Mayersberg lays out the intricate rules, shows off the particular lingo, and creates a feeling of being a fly on the wall of a casino in London. With Jack Manfred (Clive Owen)--sometimes "Jake" when he imagines himself as the protagonist of the novel he's writing, but always the pragmatist--as our guide, Croupier is always digging deeper into the shady world of professional gambling, even as its story flounders with double-crosses and backstabs and stretches to tie it to a lofty theme of chance.

Listen Up Philip (2014) Trailer

Listen Up Philip



Listen Up Philip is an American drama film written and 
directed by Alex Ross Perry.

Watch the Trailer!



A complex, intimate, and highly idiosyncratic comedy, Listen Up Philip is a literary look at the
 triumph of reality over the human spirit. Anger rages in Philip (Jason Schwartzman) as he 
awaits the publication of his sure-to-succeed second novel. He feels pushed out of his
adopted home city by the constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his
 photographer girlfriend Ashley (Elisabeth Moss), and his indifference to promoting his own
 work. When Philip’s idol Ike Zimmerman (Jonathan Pryce) offers his isolated summer home
 as a refuge, he finally gets the peace and quiet to focus on his favorite subject — himself.
