Clip: Treat Williams in “The Congressman”

Posted on June 24, 2016 at 4:25 pm

I live and have worked in Washington DC, and more often than not we find our city badly misrepresented in movies. But this one is different because “The Congressman” was written and directed by someone who knows Washington and politics from the inside,former Long Island Congressman Robert J. Mrazek. It stars Treat Williams, George Hamilton, Elizabeth Marvel and Ryan Merriman. It is available on VOD and is showing in select cinemas.

Here Treat Williams as Congressman Charlie Winship gives a speech about what it means to be American, and to be patriotic, following the aftermath of controversy that occurred when video footage showing that he did not say the pledge of allegiance went viral. He addresses the kind of petty symbolism that our gotcha media focus on and what the principles our country was founded on really mean.

Exclusive Clip from “Pudsey the Dog: The Movie” — Messing Around

Just the right refreshing treat to celebrate the end of school and the beginning of summer! It’s “Pudsey the Dog: The Movie,” a sweet British film about a stray dog who unexpectedly finds a family when he meets up with some kids who have just lost their father. The cat-owning landlord who does not like Pudsey is played by one of my favorite actors, John Sessions (“Whose Line is It Anyway?”) When the landlord turns out to be a villain, only Pudsey can save the day. The movie is now available on VOD.

Pudsey and his young owner Ashleigh won Britain’s favorite television talent show “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2012. Ashleigh and Pudsey went on to perform in front of Queen Elizabeth II twice, as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, and the 84th Royal Variety performance, and host their own BBC show “Who Let the Dogs Out?.” Since 2012, Ashleigh and Pudsey have also spoken out for the PETA campaign calling for a ban on cruelty to animals in circuses.

“Pudsey The Dog: The Movie” was directed by Nick Moore (“Wild Child”), written by Paul Rose, and produced by Vertigo Films’ Rupert Preston, and Executive Produced by Allan Niblo and James Richardson. It was co-produced by Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment.
