(Summer's Moon is clean, creepy, fun)
『Trying to subvert the expectations associated with the family of serial killers horror subgenre, SUMMER'S MOON offers an idealized small town and an attractive family as the villians and Twilight's Ashley Greene as the heroine who has more in common with these killers than she'd care to admit.

While the movie plays it relatively coy with the amount of on-screen bloodshed (compared to other recent horror films), this restraint actually works in the film's favor--making it the perfect horror trojan horse for a younger audience who might not be prepared/old enough for more graphic scenes. The ideas about family, and nature vs/ nuture, and the twists within the story will freak them out enough.
』

(TERRIBLE ACTING)
『This movie could have been good, but the acting was SO bad I turned it off after 20 minutes (I can't even believe I watched it that long) I was hoping something would change, the plot was a good, but COULD not even get into any of the characters. I don't recommend this movie.』
『Eager to find her estranged father, Summer (TWILIGHT's Ashley Greene) sets out on a cross-country journey but soon has a slight run-in with the law. Much to her amazement, a local handyman rescues her. It’s an unusual connection, but she is quickly charmed and accepts his invitation to spend the night. The following morning she is in for a rude awakening when he decides to change the rules of attraction by trapping her in his house. Taken prisoner in the demented stranger's basement, her dream hascome to a bitter end and her real-life nightmare has only just begun.』

(Great!)
『Together with the Dark Crystal and the Dragonslayer the best fantasy-movie I have ever seen. I don't like that much modern computeranimated special effects. I like more... handmade stuff like this. Only the end is a bit lame. The masks and the ambience are awesome. The 80's marked the zenith in many ways of popular culture. This is one in film.』

(LEGEND!!)
『Very cool! Both cuts are awesome, I recommend this movie to everyone with an imagination. I love it.』

(What a difference...)
『The U.S. theatrical release of this film was completely ruined for me by the awful, anachronistic music of Tangerine Dream. What a thrill it is to finally see it as Ridley Scott intended, with Jerry Goldsmith's gorgeous, inventive score. Now the film feels much richer, nuanced and complex. Many other reviewers have complained about Lily's singing, but I found her simple folk melodies to perfectly capture the time period evoked by the filmmakers, as well as the innocence of the character. It is her singing that lures the unicorn to its doom (one example of adding that layer of complexity to the film). Another case in point is the "dress waltz" scene. Tangerine Dream's music was listless and lame, laughably simplistic and devoid of any emotion. Jerry Goldsmith transforms the scene utterly: now it positively overflows with dark desire. What a difference the right score can make.』

(This is one of the great classics to me)
『I had this special edition 2-dvd set a few years ago and after trading in a bunch of dvd's now I am buying some of the really good ones that I must have in my collection and this is one of them! I watched this movie every time it came on HBO when I was a kid and I've loved this movie ever since. I put it up there with The Princess Bride which is another I have seen 100 times probably! All the actors in Legend are great, especially Tim Curry who plays Darkness, Tom cruise, Mia Sara, she is so talented and beautiful. I highly recommend Legend, it has all the extras you could want and the 2nd dvd is a darker directors cut.』

(this film is like a glorious painting come to life)
『what can i say? prepare to be swept away! this is a cinematic experience, not really a "movie" and to truly do it justice one would almost HAVE to see it on the big screen. but this longingly put together celebratory re-issue double disc dvd captures so much of the spirit of the film you will be sufficiently dazzled. enjoyable for children and adults, in no way "dumbed down" or rushed despite a nearly catastrophic studio fire carefully examined in the extras section on the dvd-- and-- it is resplendent with not one--but TWO musical scores for you to choose from! this film is simply enchanting. tim curry is almost unrecognizable beneath his make up and costume and tom cruise is an impish delite in one of his very earliest blockbuster roles. mia sara is the perfect princes and alice playton is menacingly creepy as blix. don't miss out on this. this movie deserved to do soooooo much better than it did at the box office during he time it was released. remember--you are watching ART; i'm not gonna say the plot doesn't drag and it isn't a wee bit short on dialogue--it is. but trust me, this is more than just a film. this is an experience. :)』
『A young man must stop the lord of darkness from both destroying daylight and marrying the woman he loves. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 05/31/2005 Starring: Tom Cruise Mia Sara Run time: 89 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Ridley Scott』
『This strange, 1985 experiment by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) starred the up-and-coming Tom Cruise in a fairy-tale world of dwarfs and unicorns and demons. After the horn of a unicorn is broken, darkness and winter descend upon the world. Cruise's character, helped along by a magic sprite played by David Bennent (The Tin Drum), descends into hell to save paradise. This movie is almost a classic case of art direction gone amok. The somewhat amorphous Cruise doesn't lend much dramatic focus or artistic definition, but the drama between Tim Curry's satanic majesty and Mia Sara's character, who becomes a sort of princess of the netherworld, is pretty captivating. A mixed experience all around that makes one wish it had been more successful.--Tom Keogh』

(best episode)
『Of all the Twilight Zone episodes I've purchased, this is the best. The segment with Robert Redford as "death" is a classic. I would order from this shipper again...quick shipment and excellent condition.
』

(Best Episodes of the Series)
『"Night of the Meek" was one of six episodes video taped during the second season, not filmed. Serling remarked that while the script was superb, the production was awful. "The Invaders" did not come out as script writer Richard Matheson expected -- he envisioned the aliens to barely be seen at all. Agnes Moorehead was hired solely because the entire role was silent and she was best known for playing the talkative shrew in "Sorry, Wrong Number." "Nothing in the Dark" was filmed during the second season, but broadcast in the third.

Trivia supplied not from the DVD, but from the book, "The Twilight Zone: Unlocking the Door to a Television Classic" because the 800 plus page book is a P-E-R-F-E-C-T companion to the DVD. Before or after you watch an episode, you can use the book to uncover the in-jokes, bloopers and trivia that make viewing these episodes fun. Both are available on Amazon.』

(I Want More)
『So much of what we see on the classic TZ episodes has been redone to death these days. These are some of the ORIGINAL stories from a classic age of sci-fi suspense. This volumes includes three of the classic, iconic episodes. Kind of a hodge-podge mix of good stories on this disc. Probably the weakest in the collection, but still worth watching. Recommended.』

(Entering the Mists of Unbounded Imagination.)
『From my teens this is one of the series that I more fondly remember. As a sci-fi fan I was attracted by "The Twilight Zone" proposal. At that time I wasn't able to see more than a score of episodes, but they remain in my memory with extraordinary persistence.
Thanks to the technological marvel of DVD I'm able to see these amazing stories again and find them as magical&thought provoking as 45 years ago.
As the structure of the episodes are mostly bounded to a surprise ending or to the argument in a very short span of time, usually 25 minutes each, I'll focus my review more on outstanding features than on the topic of the episode in order not to spoil the pleasure of the viewer.

Disk 1 contains only three chapters but wow! Two of them are extraordinary.

1) The Invaders - An emblematic episode, only one character, a lone woman in an isolate house receives the unexpected visit of a tiny "flying saucer" with two small aliens.
She doesn't utter a word and all the tension is focused in her mute wild chase of the aliens.
Agnes Moorhead, best known by her role as Endora the Witch Mother of "Bewitched", gives an extraordinary performance.
Cinematography in charge of George Clemens deserves a special mention. He won Emmy Award 1961 and nominations for the same honor 1962&1963 all due to several episodes of this series.
Qualification: 10.

2) The Night of the Meek - This is a rather conventional Christmas episode, nevertheless it manages to touch viewer's emotional chord.
Qualification: 7.

3) Nothing in the Dark - An old lady is entrenched in her basement apartment in order to avoid Mr. Death visit. However there are people trying to make her leave her bunker as those buildings are going to be demolished.
Gladys Cooper impersonates entrenched Wanda with authority but surprise, surprise her acting partner is... Robert Redford! Very young, very charismatic&very proficient.
Qualification: 10.

This DVD format has two great advantages: it has a very good price and allows buyers to choose their favorite chapters without needing to buy the whole series.

(Excellent)
『Twilight Zone was one of those programs that people talked about fpr days at the office. It was a show I never missed, and now I can see them all again. I was afraid they wouldn't hold up well, that my recollection of them was about to be destroyed. But, no.

Art Carney is excellent as a besotted and disillusioned Santa. The theme is a little preachy and the snow looks more like soap flakes than winter precipitation. This is probably the least of the 3 episodes on the disk, but it's still pretty good. Art Carney's performance alone is worthwhile.

Agnes Moorhead is the only real character in the second episode, a lonely woman in a remote farmhouse. A spaceship crashes into her attic and she has to fight the tiny aliens with the primitive weapons at hand. The spacemen shoot her and raise blisters on her skin. She doesn't have a single word of dialogue, just moans and grunts, and it doesn't matter. This is a real classic, one that never left my mind in almost fifty years.

In the third episode, a boyish Robert Redford plays a wounded cop who falls at the doorway of a condemned building. The only occupant is an old woman who is afraid of letting Death in and suspects the wounded cop of being Death. The story is not one of the best of the series, but it is better than some.

TV never got better than Rod Serling's Twilight Zone. What more can one say?』
『Episodes: "Night of the Meek" (Ep. 47, December 23, 1960) - Christmas in the Twilight Zone. Art Carney is a forlorn department store Santa who takes to drinking--only to find himself experiencing the nicest Christmas ever! "The Invaders" (Ep. 51, January 27, 1961) - A flying saucer lands in the attic of an isolated house inhabited by an impoverished woman--who soon becomes panic-stricken as tiny spacemen begin to stalk her! "Nothing in the Dark" (Ep. 81, January 5, 1962) - An old woman has fought with death a thousand times and has always won. But now she finds herself afraid to let a wounded policeman (Robert Redford) in her door for fear he is Mr. Death. Is he?』

(Gremlins)
『One of my Favorite 80s movies. I love it. My kids love it. A classic.』

(Better than advertised)
『Their shipping was faster than expected. The movie was in awesome shape and I've already played it over a dozen times. I have kids and they have sleep-overs almost every weekend.』

(Though the gremlins outside are frightful)
『Don't expose them to sunlight. Don't let them get wet. And under no circumstances feed them after midnight.

Those are the rules for the now-legendary mogwai, adorable little fuzzballs who transform if you break the last rule. And "Gremlins" is a gloriously unconventional Christmas movie -- a postcard-pretty view of suburban middle-America, splattered with gore, nasty little gremlins and a truly wicked sense of humour (expressed often in movie send-ups).

Randall (Hoyt Axton) spots a tiny adorable creature -- a mogwai -- in a small Chinatown shop, and wants to buy it as a Christmas present for his son. The owner refuses, but his grandson secretly sells it to Randall.

Randall's son Billy (Zach Galligan) is delighted by the fuzzy lightphobic mogwai, whom he names Gizmo. But it soon becomes clear that Gizmo is full of surprises: when water is accidentally splashed on him, he spontaneously generates a litter of NEW mogwai. The ringleader "Stripe" tricks Billy into feeding them after midnight, transforming them into scaly, dangerous "gremlins.

And after a gremlin tumbles into a pool, Billy realizes that the town is about to be swarmed with them -- attacking vicious old Mrs. Deagle, ramming snowplows, murdering kindly teachers, and trashing a tavern with Billy's love interest Kate (Phoebe Cates). As the town descends into gremlinized chaos, the two humans (and Gizmo) must find a way to wipe out the horde... and if they miss only one, it'll start all over again.

Personally I find most Christmas movies a little too sappy and sentimental. So for people who feel that way, a Yuletide horror/comedy is simply ideal -- it's sort of a mad hybrid of early Peter Jackson splattergore, Frank Capra snow-sprinkled Christmastime, and a bunch of sly movie homages and send-ups ("Forbidden Planet," "Wizard of Oz" and "Snow White" amongst others).

But the real fun is in watching the movie's balance between nasty and cuddly -- Joe Dante happily veers between sweet moments and grotesquely funny violence (such as Billy's mom messily killing gremlins with a variety of kitchen implements), with the best example being the malevolent Mrs. Deagle being flung out an upstairs window by fa-la-la-la-LAing gremlins. Completely sick, and gutsplittingly funn.

And Dante sprinkles it with more G-rated comedy that borders on cartoonish without quite crossing, such as the kid in the Christmas tree costume ("Don't ask!") and the gremlins destroying a local pub when they aren't watching Disney movies (is this a message about Disney?). It all climaxes in some literally explosive showdowns with the gremlins -- and particularly with Stripe, their ghastly little leader.

Galligan and Cates are thoroughly solid as the teenage heroes, especially when Cates gives her heartbreaking speech about the horrible experience that made her hate Christmas. In fact, all the actors do a solid job -- the evil old landlady who serves as a sort of Wicked Witch of the West/Scrooge hybrid, the cranky old veteran, the crackpot inventor and the wise old Chinese guy.

But the showstopper is Gizmo -- tiny, round, fuzzy and wide-eyed, with a babyish squeaky voice and a liking for toy cars and 3-D glasses. Rarely has a puppet been so bloody cute and endearing. His complete opposite is Stripe, a gremlin amongst gremlins -- malevolent and gleefully sadistic, he seems smart enough to revel in the idea of destroying the town.

"Gremlins" is a brilliant horror/comedy that infuses a perfect American town with a little mayhem and gore, as well as some wickedly funny little nasties. Definitely a must-see.』

(This is Not A Cute Little Kids Film!; It's For Us Adults)
『When this came out, the amazing special-effects helped make this film a big hit, along with an interesting story with a likable little creature ("Gizmo") who got the viewers involved in the story, rooting for him.

However, this isn't some cute little animal picture. His offspring are anything but cute and lovable. They are downright nasty, and scary at times. Because of that meanness, violence and some profanity, I do not recommend this movie to kids. The sequel I would recommend instead. That has much more of a comedic tone with less language.

For us adults, though, this is very entertaining with a combination of horror, humor and suspense.
』

(case broken)
『The case for the DVD was broken when it arrived and cannot be closed and the DVD was loose in the packaging.』
『Gremlinsis a whee of a film (if you don't mind the occasional gross-out) from producer Steven Spielberg, writer Chris Columbus, and director Joe Dante. Zach Galligan is the young man whose inventor father (Hoyt Axton) gives him an odd Christmas present: a tiny, furry creature that comes with a set of rules: don't get him wet, don't feed him after midnight, and keep him away from direct sunlight. But Galligan breaks the first rule and the damp little critter pops out a dozen little offspring. Then the offspring break the second rule and, overnight, turn from cute furry guys to malevolent scaly guys with world domination on their mind. The only way to stop them: rule three. But it's an anxious (and extremely funny) battle to make it to daylight--and the bad gremlins find ways to multiply over and over. Great special effects and a gruesome sense of humor make this a wild (if occasionally dark and scary) ride.--Marshall Fine』

(Stone the crows!)
『Sadly, this is about as derivative as it gets. Every haunted house cliché is dragged out along with a bit of The Birds and The Shining thrown in just for good measure. There are some genuinely creepy moments along the way but the formula is so tired and predictable that these moments are not enough to save the movie. Kirsten Stewart does a reasonable job of carrying the story along but the entire cast clearly lack conviction, and this lack of belief diminishes the film even more.』

(Crazy Crows!)
『3 of 5 stars for the suspense movie The Messengers. A family moves from civilization to the middle-of-no-where into an obviously haunted house about two steps better than the Addams Family house. We have an unbalanced daughter and a baby brother who "sees things". The house is part of a Sunflower farm. We hire a farm hand to help our family. Strange things start to happen specially with the local crow population. I won't spoil the suspense elements of the movie. Of course, had it been me, I'd never have moved into the house in the first place. This is a well made suspense movie with really odd things happening. Good suspense music. Good plot and well acted. I do recommend this movie.』

(Kristen Stewart)
『I love Kristen. Every movie of hers in enjoy! This movie is a nice thriller!』

(RAIMI&TAPERT TEAM WITH THE PANG BROS)
『THE MESSENGERS

I have been a fan of Sam Raimi and all of them since the first "Evil Dead" film and every thing afterward, so you know I own any thing the man is connected to. When he and Rob Tapert created Ghost House Pictures you know I was excited and thus far I have not have hated anything they have put out. I do how ever like some more so than others but for the most part they are entertaining. The Messengers while not a classic or even completely original still manages to be good and I credit the performances mostly for that.

The Rollins family seems nice enough but that does not stop someone or something from picking them apart and hunting them down inside their own home. Years later the Solomon family move in and try to forget about the drunken driving accident that forced them to move. Once there things seem good at first until their daughter Jessica and their son Ben begin to notice something not of this world also live there. As time goes on the occurrences get more and more apparent as Jessica tries to protect her brother. At the same time their dad seems to be losing it Shining or Amityville style and their mother does not believe them. Their father has a hard time with the crops or basically sunflowers until he hires Burwell to help him, still the crows do not like what is taking place and start to get violent. As the family falls apart and the ghosts get restless it seems it is all up to Jessica to learn about what is really happening.

Sam and Rob's Ghost House Pictures did an excellent job casting this film because the strongest attribute this film has is the cast. Kristen Stewart is excellent in this as Jessica and does a marvelous job in the film, she also has a nice look to her like a very real down to earth feel and not a stuck up diva feel. Dylan McDermott does a great job as Roy the father of the family and play the part kinda like an Amityville film. Penelope Ann Miller as well is great in the mother role as Denise and does a great job as well. Still other than Kirsten the MVP of this film just may be John Corbett who plays Burwell. He does an excellent job and his turn in the end is great.

The story over all is fine I guess but it is just your typical ghost/revenge story so there really is nothing new here. Writers Todd Farmer [Jason X, My Bloody Valentine, Messengers 2, and the upcoming Halloween 3] and Mark Wheaton [Friday the 13th remake] made the characters a little interesting but the story was unoriginal for the most part. Directors the Pang Brothers [Bangkok Dangerous, The Eye, The Eye 2, Bangkok Dangerous remake] seemed to want to transition into more of an American style somewhat and that may be why the film suffers a bit. They did not completely switch up their style but they do feel a little more tame in this one.

I would not say that this is a bad movie and in fact I would say it is worthy of viewing from anybody, I bought it but a rental maybe the way to go for the average viewer. I am a huge fan of Sam and Rob so not only did I see this in theaters but I do own it. Do I recommend this film, yes, is it the best film ever, no. If you are a fan of Raimi or any one involved in this film it is highly recommended, I do think the casual fan would enjoy this as well.

(a delightful horror romp through the sunflower fields.....)
『i first saw "the messengers" several years ago...but my interest was renewed with the discovery of kristen steward's involvement....

this is a unpredictable horror tale...full of gorgeous cinematography and beautiful people...it still possesses the "there's something fishy happening here vibe and the jump out at ya dark scary spooky element"....while supporting an interesting family dynamic sub-plot as well..

i, especially, appreciated seeing KS displaying her most individual, clean, refreshing, believable and rudimentary style of acting in another genre other than her portrayal of bells in my beloved twilight.....

it was a delightful horror romp through the sunflower fields.....』
『Desperate for a fresh start after a tough two years in Chicago, the Solomon family retreats to a desolate sunflower farm in North Dakota. But the calm of farm life is shattered when 16-year-old Jess (Kristen Stewart) and her 3-year-old brother Ben begin to see nightmarish apparitions throughout their new home– visions that nobody else can see. As the visions grow darker, they become fear-inspiring experiences and Jess’ parents (Dylan McDermott and Penelope Ann Miller) start to question their daughter’s sanity. Now, Jess must find a way to save her family and win』
『Lithe and tomboyish Kristen Stewart (Panic Room, The Safety of Objects) anchors the derivative but potently atmospheric horror movieThe Messengers. The story--a troubled family moves into one of those creepy farmhouses that scream "serial murder site" and find their lives disturbed by unearthly occurrences--is a puree of plot elements fromThe Sixth Sense, The Birds, The Amityville Horror, The Shining, the recent spate of Japanese horror remakes, and more. Despite this, the movie may get under your skin; between the bleached sunlight, the effective ambient sound, and scenes that linger unexpectedly on quiet suspense,The Messengerscreates a vivid and unsettling mood. There are still plenty of the abrupt jolts that make teenager girls clutch their dates, but this artful creepiness--combined with Stewart's engaging presence--will have a longer effect. Also featuring Dylan McDermott (The Practice), Penelope Ann Miller (Carlito's Way), and John Corbett (Northern Exposure, Sex and the City). Directed by the Pang Brothers, the duo responsible for Hong Kong hits likeThe Eye and Infernal Affairs. --Bret Fetzer

If you accept this fact, then life will make more sense, but only in a very weird way. Surveillance is set in a town so small, out of the way, and downright boring that the local cops spend their days shooting out the tires of speeders on the freeway. Their follow-up routine is to put the drivers through a humiliating encounter with the law that guarantees they will either never speed again, or never travel through this part of the state. During one of these confrontations something very bad happened. And the very bad thing is somehow connected to a recent series of grisly murders in the area. Enter two FBI agents, sent with their black suits, interrogation training, emotional tics, and cameras to interview everyone involved and get to the bottom of the story. The agents (played with verve and wit by Bill Pullman and Julia Ormond) are as eccentric as their subjects--a rattled police officer, a traumatized little girl, and a young woman who trusts no one. As each character recounts part of the story from their limited point of view, a sort of Rashomon develops. Even if everyone is telling the truth, something doesn't make sense. In her first full-length feature since 1993's Boxing Helena, writer/director Jennifer Lynch uses our expectation of her and her father (executive producer David Lynch) to clever advantage. From the beginning, we suspect that lies are being told, but by whom, and for what purpose? Not knowing makes it difficult to side with anyone, so there is no clear-cut protagonist. Further alienating the viewer is the Lynch signature soundtrack, often inappropriate or off tempo. As certain suspicions are confirmed, and we think we have it all figured out, new and awful surprises come to light. The build is almost excruciating, but the pay-off is oh so sweet. The story's loose ends are tied snugly together, by the final scene. And if you have ever been as bored as the cops who patrol the fringes of this flat, deadbeat town you will probably find the conclusion both creepy and funny. Kudos to Ms. Lynch for the oddball casting in Surveillance. Ormond and Pullman are delightful as middle-aged interrogators with secrets of their own. But every character has depth and significance, thanks to a supporting cast that includes Cheri Oteri, French Stewart, and Michael Ironside. Even if you figure out what's up before the end, the ride is screeching good fun.』 (MUCH BETTER THAN ANTICIPATED) 『This movie may not be loved by everyone but----for me it was very entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable. After watching many disappointing flicks recently (other than 'District 9' and 'Inglorious Basterds') this one was definitely welcome. Highly recommended !!』 (A Huge Accident, Avert Your Eyes) 『You are driving, you notice a backup of cars on the other side, you slow down to look at what's causing the slow down, you realize it is an accident, you look closer, you can't help yourself, you stop your car, you look closer, there's a huge accident, you look closer, and finally you see the most disgusting gnarled mess of dead humans you have ever seen. Finally you think to yourself, why did I look? Surveillance is exactly that movie. It trapped me in the beginning. The opening scene is a gruesome horrific murder in disgusting detail - oh yes it's done in an artsy fashion with interesting lighting, strange camera angles, and odd editing - but it is disgusting all the same. The story then moves on to Larry, Moe, and Curly policemen in backwater US are joined by two FBI agents that try to solve this murder. The director chose an interesting technique to tell the story, start with a snippet of the three witnesses saying what they did that day, and then visually cut away to what really happened. So my imagination was engaged even more with the solution to this crime. But like a car wreck, the most horrible wreck you've ever seen, don't watch this film. The story telling technique is the only redeeming quality of this film. Even then I wrestled over one star (I hated it) or two stars (I didn't like it); nope the ending and the path there, just left me with a hate feeling. From a technical standpoint, shaky camera movement, horrific pacing...I just hated the film. This film is rated R. If you subject younger viewers to this wreck, I feel very sorry for your children. There is enough blood shot all over, torture scenes, drug use, and strong language to fill up 10 R rated movies. Is this movie a twist on the slasher film, maybe. It's still a bad film. Avoid looking. I know it's hard, moths fly toward the flame. You will hate yourself in the morning if you watch this film. 』 (Wonderful movie.) 『I think way too much is put into the "viewpoint" of the world this movie takes, the negative outlook, blah blah blah. It's a movie, it's entertainment and of course you need to have a sense of suspension of disbelief about the cops which, yes, was a bit much. The point, if there was one, was that people are selfish, self centered, stupid, clumsy and simply in their own little world at times (the girl not being able to get anybody's attention but Pullmans) and in the end, you really don't feel very sorry for anybody in the movie. However the performances are top notch. Bill Pullman totally rules in this kind of role. I absolutely loved what he did with his character. Very entertaining. Julie Ormond is a wonderful actress that pulls off an unusual role for her beautifully. Also, I thought the story was quite an original, and gripping twist on an old formula that kept me glued to the screen all the way through. I rarely rave about movies but this one deserves some credit for shining through a sea of crap movies seem to be nowadays.』 (A crime drama that's alternately uneven, suspenseful, disturbing, gripping, unpleasant and very funny) 『The reviews for this are so varied that I had to check it out. Overall, it really stayed with me which is far more than I can say for most films nowadays. I wonder if all the negative reviews are due to the overall nihilistic tone of the film. In my humble opinion, I think it is. Like "Blue Velvet" it goes to some dark and disturbing places, but I recommend it.』 『When FBI agents Elizabeth Anderson (Julia Ormond) and Sam Hallaway (Bill Pullman) arrive at a local police station to investigate a series of gruesome murders, there are three witnesses with three different stories of the roadside rampage. However, as the agents begin to expose the fragile little details each witness conceals so carefully with a well practiced lie, they soon discover that uncovering the truth can come at a very big cost.』
