Uptown Jazz Dallas | Cinefest Coverage:  The Devil's Double (Poster)

The Devil's Double In theaters: July 29th, 2011
Copyright © 2011 Lionsgate

Synopsis
Based on a gripping, unbelievable true story of money, power and opulent decadence, Lionsgate's THE DEVIL'S DOUBLE takes a white-knuckle ride deep into the lawless playground of excess and violence known as Bagdad, 1987. Summoned from the frontline to Saddam Hussein's palace, Iraqi army lieutenant Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper) is thrust into the highest echelons of the "royal family" when he's ordered to become the 'fiday' - or body double - to Saddam's son, the notorious "Black Prince" Uday Hussein (also Dominic Cooper), a reckless, sadistic party-boy with a rabid hunger for sex and brutality. With his and his family's lives at stake, Latif must surrender his former self forever as he learns to walk, talk and act like Uday. But nothing could have prepared him for the horror of the Black Prince's psychotic, drug-addled life of fast cars, easy women and impulsive violence. With one wrong move costing him his life, Latif forges an intimate bond with Sarrab (Ludivine Sangier), Uday's seductive mistress who's haunted by her own secrets. But as war looms with Kuwait and Uday's depraved gangster regime threatens to destroy them all, Latif realizes that escape from the devil's den will only come at the highest possible cost.

Event Recap:D Magazine’s 100 Best Restaurants Party

As all of you know (or should know!), our 100 Best Restaurants issue is out on newsstands, and we couldn’t be more proud of it. Nancy worked her tail end off, writing 100 blurbs for each of the honorees. One hundred blurbs, my friends, is not an easy task. On Wednesday night, our company put [...]

Bits & Bites: Things to Do and Chew on Memorial Day Weekend

Before I launch into a post about beer and boozy fun, I’d like to take this moment and thank the people who have served/still serve our country. While most of us see Memorial Day as a “YAY WE DON’T HAVE TO GO TO WORK LET’S PARTY” day, there are families out there visiting graves and [...]

Second Off-Site Kitchen Going in at Trinity Groves

Nick Badovinus just emailed the news. He’s opening a second location of Off-Site Kitchen in “the blue building on Singleton” in the fall. He says he’s glad to be back in business with Phil Romano, co-owner of Trinity Groves. Romano gave Badovinus his first job as an executive chef at the ill-fated We/Oui or was [...]

Farm to Market Report: Weekend of May 25

Sorry for the short report. I’m not leaving any farmers markets off this list on purpose. Sheila Dang, our intern who was writing these, is off to bigger and better things. Sad face. Coppell Farmers Market: ”The Coppell Farmers Market is hitting the Memorial Day week-end with more of the summer produce showing up.  Summer squash, [...]

Shortage of Speculoos Cookie Butter at Trader Joe’s

Oh. My. God. Teresa “Gubbshoe” Gubbins has uncovered the startling news. I will not steal her thunder because her story is deliciously funny. I supposed hoarders are selling on eBay.
