Bushi no îe Synopsis
Burn profiles the lives and talents of the best surfers in the world at the peak of their careers as they travel around the planet surfing some of the most beautiful locations in the world. This new molten surf film is chock full of out-in-out ridiculousness from the usual suspects: Kelly Slater, Andy and Bruce Irons. It also showcases some of the most fresh and blazingly progressive surfing ever caught on film from Dane Reynolds, Clay Marzo, Fred Patacchia and Bobby Martinez in exotic, seldom seen locales like the Dominican Republic, Galapagos Islands, Indonesia and Mainland Mexico. Highlights include Marzo's youthful, fin free antics and Dane's style-god aerial attack in the best waves ever in Ventura, California. But don't think that "Burn" is all vivid-level surf porn. This movie actually dares to get inside these guys heads. It features intimate, in-depth profiles with Fred, Dane, Kelly, Bruce, Andy and Bobby. You want to get to know these guys and find out what makes them tick. "Burn" - all steak, all sizzle.
Blackmail Synopsis
Confidence artist Flossie Golden attempts to fleece foolish but wealthy James Venable with a breach-of-promise suit. Venable's shrewd attorney, Richard Harding, outwits Flossie by proposing that she marry Venable and live on an allowance of $3,000 per year. Flossie is determined to get even with Harding for ruining her plans. In an attempt to con him, she poses as Innocence Page, but falls in love and marries him instead. Larry, Flossie's former accomplice, endeavors to blackmail her with her errant past, but Harding is already cognizant of the facts and Larry fails.
"Bushi no îe" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
