Going into its 3rd weekend, Bleecker Street’s I’ll See You In My Dreams was a robust rarity among specialties this weekend, which was not particularly kind to the pack of newcomers. Gkids’ animated feature When Marnie Was There held Ok after a small expansion in its 2nd frame, while Fox Searchlight’s Far From The Madding Crowd held fairly well in its 4th. And significantly, kudos goes to The Orchard for giving VOD estimates for its weekend debut, Club Life, which it is…...

Jerry Ferrara thinks that the Tom Brady era is definitely Over ... in fantasy football ... telling TMZ Sports Tom Terrific is no longer worthy of a first round fantasy draft pick. The "Entourage" star (and fantasy nut) was in NYC promoting his other movie "Club Life" when asked if the suspended Brady was still studly enough to command one of the top picks in next year's fantasy drafts.

It's 2008, and limo driver Johnny D (Jerry Ferrara) is looking for a way to cover medical costs for his recently hospitalized father. After a chance encounter with nightclub promoter Mark (Danny A. Abeckaser), he stumbles upon what has to be considered a fairly dubious destiny: rounding up young, attractive women to lure high rollers into the club to spend their hedge fund bonuses on Cristal bottle servi...

The official synopsis of the film is as follows: "When Johnny D. (Ferrara) is forced to take on his family's financial troubles, he turns to the Manhattan club scene to make some fast cash.
