Ben Stiller made his directorial debut with the 1994 romantic comedy-drama Reality Bites. Since so many classic films have been given the sequel treatment, the actor recently talked about the possibility of doing a follow-up.

"It has come up," Stiller told MovieWeb. "I don't have a desire to do that, because I feel like that movie was so of a time, you know?" However, the actor, who also starred in the film opposite Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke, hasn't completely ruled out the possibility of a sequel. "That movie was the first movie I ever directed," he said. "It could be revisited, but it would be a whole different thing. And I think that movie, what I love about it is it's of its time and where we were at that moment in time."

Director: Darryn W. Welch.

Writer: Brett Goldstein.

Often, one is a slave to the most basic of desires. Sex, drugs and adultery is one way to sum this film up, but for Darryn Welch's movie simply titled Slave (from Lightning Entertainment), it bears other meanings. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and that's the message this film tries to convey. Sadly, the message doesn't get picked up unless one goes through multiple watchings of this DVD release, and afterwards, one spends time thinking about just what went on?

The plot seems simple enough. The attractive girlfriend, Georgie (Natassia Malthe) wants to meet David Dunsmore's (Sam Page) paternal side of the family. She wonders how David will turn out when he's old and grey, and gets more than she bargained for. While Page’s performance is adequate in this film, Michael Maxwell's role as the father,...
