Based on the Truman Capote novel of the same name, the story follows the flight and eventual capture of Perry Smith (Robert Blake, LOST HIGHWAY, TV’s BERRETA, and most recently the front cover of major tabloids for be charged with the murder of his wife) and Dick Hickcock (Scott Wilson, PEARL HARBOR, IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT) after they slaughter the Clutter family.

Perry is the dreamer of the two killers. He wants to be a Country Western star and dreams of discovering buried treasure. However when it comes to the crime, the reality of the situation seems to wake him out of his often-childlike daze. Hickock is the mastermind behind the crime; the only problem is that he’s not very bright. He plans the robbery on a tip he heard in prison and seems to decided on murder as just a matter of fact detail of the crime.

Here’s another amazing film that presents apprehensible behavior and let’s the audience think about what they are watching. This is a horror film on the level of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. With layered characters and deep themes, this is far more than just another splatter fest.

The film follows real life killer Henry Lee Lucas (Michael Rooker, MALLRATS, CLIFFHANGER), his sidekick-in-crime Otis (Tom Towles, THE ROCK) and Otis’ younger sister, Becky (Tracy Arnold). The film depicts Henry as a cold-hearted killer, who commits his murders out of sexual frustration, which was spurred on by a troubled childhood. As the plot unravels, Otis joins in on the murders. Though, Lucas is a killer, he reveals his softer side to Becky, who begins to fall for a guy who would clearly be classified as another “wrong guy” in a life full of wrong guys.

Your life will be changed after watching this film. You will think about movies and people in a different way after seeing this film because you have never seen any film like it before. This isn’t a movie for everyone I suppose, but for those willing to challenge their way of thinking this film is a must.

The story follows three New Jersey sisters Joy (Jane Adams, MUMFORD), Helen (Lara Flynn Boyle, TV’s PRACTICE, MEN IN BLACK II) and Trish (HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS). Joy is a hippie/ wanna-be-singer/ slacker, who doesn’t have much luck with relationships even when she is the one breaking up with someone, as we see when she breaks the heart of the fat man named Andy (Jon Lovitz, CITY SLICKERS II). Her sisters worry about her after she quits her job “to make a difference” as a strikebreaker at the local adult education center. This new job leads to her getting involved in a dangerous relationship with a Russian thief named Vlad (Jared Harris, Richard Harris’ son, MR. DEEDS).

The first time I saw this film — it made me want to rush out and make a movie. Not very many new films affect me in that way. This film became an art house hit in 1999 and won awards at the Sundance Film Festival. It’s a remarkable film debut from Michael Polish, who also stars in this melancholy character study.

The story follows conjoined twins, Blake and Francis Falls (Mark and Michael Polish respectively). Blake is the stronger of the two and his heart is what keeps the sick Francis alive. Because Francis is on the brink of death, the brothers check themselves into a seedy hotel and hire themselves a hooker named Penny (Michele Hicks, former model, MULHOLLAND DRIVE). Penny is a prostitute out of desperation. She is initially scared of the twins, but after having to return to their room for her purse, she starts feeling sympathy for them. Noticing that Francis is sick, she calls on a client/doctor named Miles (Patrick Bauchau, CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER), who reveals that Francis’ heart is failing. Have the Falls brothers checked into the Idaho Hotel to die?
