Movie: The Facts of Life Reunion (2001) (TV)
“Thirteen years later Mrs. Garrett’s “girls” have all grown into successful, independent women. After a stint in the Peace Corps with her husband, a widowed Mrs. Garrett is heading back to America, ready for a new life and new romance, and also looking forward to seeing the girls again. Blair is wealthier than ever, after building a hotel empire with her husband, Tad. But she suspects he is having an affair. “Tootie,” now preferring to be called by her real name, Dorothy, has forsaken her acting hopes to host her own talk show. Natalie is a dedicated TV news producer, juggling an active love life with a frenetic work schedule that takes her all over the world. Jo, ever the free spirit, is a devoted cop, wife and mother. It’s been years since Natalie has had a Thanksgiving back in America, so she’s talked all the girls and Mrs. Garrett into spending the holiday together back in Peekskill, NY. When Jo is unable to attend the reunion, her teenage daughter, Jamie, and husband, Rick, come instead. They’re all in for a surprise when Natalie’s not one but two boyfriends unexpectedly show up at the reunion. Trouble soon starts, as both men compete for Natalie’s attention and exclusivity, so it’s up to the girls to help solve Natalie’s predicament. Written by FactsofLifeGirlsFan2006″

Movie: Factory Accident Sex (2002) (V)
“Factory Accident Sex is a sampler of Minneapolis commedian / personality / malcontent Rich Kronfeld’s best material. Rich has been more widely known as Wally Hotvedt, co host of Comedy Central’s Let’s Bowl, or as twitchy industrialist, Dr. Sphincter. This is a view into the life of a warped, unemployable comedy mind. This menu driven DVD offers a hilarious look at some of Rich’s finer comic moments. It is written and produced by Minneapolis comedy writers whose projects include Let’s Bowl and Mystery Science Theater 3000. Written by Anonymous”

Movie: Factor Pilgrim, El (2000)
“Once upon a time… There were four young men of different nationalities: Spanish, Italian, Swedish and British, a one-pound business deal that ends up becoming a one-hundred-thousand pound business deal, and a legend: The Legend of David Pilgrim. This is the basic idea behind The Pilgrim Factor, a story half-way between a comedy and a tale, about anonymous characters who accidentally happen to come across something that could prove doubtful the authenticity of the world’s most famous rock group. All this takes place right in the centre of “Chicken Town”… a city where everything is possible… even a story like this one. Written by Tesela, P.C.”
