Doctor Huang is a transplant specialist with a very busy calendar. In the run-up to Labor Day, the communist authorities of Shenzhen, Hong Kong's border wonderland of sin and shopping, execute an array of criminals. This year they are taking aim at violent offenders and triad gangs, and that offers Huang a bumper crop of kidneys, livers and hearts for needy patients, many from Hong Kong. Getting a kidney from death row may sound merciless, but it's swift, efficient?patients can be matched to donors in advance?and a bullet in the brain causes no damage...

Trueba titled the film (54th Street) after the address of the Sony Studio where he gathered Latin music giants such as Gato Barbieri, Paquito d'Rivera and Tito Puente over 12 days in March 2000 to visually and aurally document these aging Lions of Latin music. The project proved timely, because two short months after...
...based L.L. Bean, which doesn't have stores in New York, he or she doesn't pay tax. If, however, they bought from J. Crew, which has many stores in New York, they are taxed.) The other is the tech lobby, which lives in mortal fear of the dizzying array of state-level levies across the U.S. and the extra employees and infrastructure e-tailers would need to comply with them...
