Cam Gigandet, 5 Star Day Directed by Danny Buday (photo), and starring Twilight's Cam Gigandet and Sucker Punch's Jena Malone, the psychological drama 5 Star Day opened via Breaking Glass Pictures on Wednesday in select theaters (in the Los Angeles area: the Laemmle Sunset 5 in West Hollywood and the Playhouse 7 in Pasadena). [Watch the trailer. Official website.] Writer-director Buday's first feature film, 5 Star Day tells the story of Jake Gibson (Gigandet), whose horoscope "forecasts a flawless day the morning of his birthday." Instead, Jake's "entire world is about to be turned upside down as everything that could go wrong — does." Jake then sets out to disprove "the theory of Astrology." During his journey, he meets three people born at the same time and place as himself: a single mother with a dark past (Jena Malone), an overworked nurse (Brooklyn Sudano) and an struggling jazz singer (Max Hartman). Buday is a graduate student of the American Film Institute (AFI) masters directing program.

If you caught the Emmy's the other night, you may have been amused by the gleeful opening number staring Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey, especially if you watch the show "Glee" whose cast performed with the SNL vets.
The number was created by songwriter Amy Miles and co-producer Mike Robertson who both also happens to write music for "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." Specifically, they write the soundtracks for "7th Floor West" a little behind the scenes series in conjunction with the Fallon show where melodrama unfolds between Fallon and his staff. Miles notes that key elements to the soundtracks are "Melodrama for sure. A big desperate chorus. Cowbell." [LNwJF Blog]
Miles also hosted the PBS Kids show, "Lomax: The Hound of Music," and performed in Amy Poehler's web series "Smart Girls at The Party." She also cuts her own records, with titles like "Dirty Stay Out." Her latest is "King of Girls.
