The Ambushers

Comedy

Though determined to stay retired from the counter-espionage agency known as ICE, Matt Helm (Dean Martin) is tapped by MacDonald, his former boss, to find a hijacked American spacecraft that, in the wrong hands, could be used to control the world. Just the kind of "wrong hands" MacDonald and his superiors feared, Jose Ortega (Albert Salmi) and his Acapulco beer-brewing associate, Quintana, will stop at nothing short of global domination. So, armed with a collection of state-of-the-art secret weapons, Helm leaves behind an incredible bachelor apartment and a very private secretary, Lovely Kravezit, for the Mexican Riviera. In Acapulco, Matt not only tangles with double agent Francesca Madeiros (Senta Berger), but also with the equally lovely pilot of the stolen spacecraft, Sheila Sommers (Janice Rule). All too aware of the growing sexual tension between them, Sheila jealously watches Matt react to Francesca's seductive charms, the many beautiful girls surrounding Quintana, and twelve "Slay-girls" who seem to pop up at the most awkward moments. To smash the Ortega-Quintana operation, Matt must first escape death by firing squad and survive a running battle in Ortega's brewery. And when he and Sheila finally recover the spacecraft, the "Ace from ICE" and his "out of this world" girl are free to pursue their own brand of romance.

The Baxter

Comedy

In every romantic comedy there's always that scene at the end where the leading man barges through the chapel doors just as the leading lady is about to marry the Wrong Guy. This movie is about the guy left at the altar. The wrong guy. That guy is called the Baxter. The Baxter is the kind of guy you "settle" for because you can't be with the one you really love. And no one's ever been more of a Baxter than tax accountant Elliot Sherman (Michael Showalter). Nice but safe, Elliot has been left at the proverbial 'altar' more times than once. From high school to college to business school, Elliot always finds himself on the losing end of the love triangle. After swearing off relationships once and for all, Elliot decides to take the plunge one last time when he meets his dream woman, beautiful magazine editor Caroline Swann (Elizabeth Banks). But just as he's about to hear wedding bells, her hunky, long-lost high school sweetheart Bradley Lake (Justin Theroux) turns up out of the blue, triggering Elliot's fears of yet another colossal dumping. As Elliot feels his life spinning into a downward spiral, things begin to change when he encounters Cecil Mills (Michelle Williams), an adorable office temp/aspiring singer just off the bus from Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Cecil tells Elliot, "Your problem is that you're not willing to take a risk. Leading men take risks." As Elliot struggles to assert himself for the first time, a series of escalating comic events are set in motion, until finally, with Cecil's help, he learns how to step into center stage in his own life and leave Baxter-hood behind forever. From IFC Films and co-starring Zak Orth, Michael Ian Black, Peter Dinklage, David Wain and Paul Rudd, The Baxter, reminiscent of the classic American romantic comedies of the forties, is an indie love story where nice guys finish FIRST for once.
