After Dark My Sweet
An ex-boxer is drifting around after escaping from the mental hospital. He meets a widow who convinces him to help fix up the neglected estate her ex-husband left. Her Uncle talks them both into helping kidnap a rich boy for ransom money, and the ex-fighter must make decisions about his loyalties and what is right.
Directed by James Foley, After Dark My Sweet is generally considered one of the most underrated films of the 1990’s. Starring Jason Patric, Rachel Ward & Bruce Dern.
Mortal Thoughts
Demi Moore, Glenne Headly, Bruce Willis and Harvey Keitel star in this riveting psychological thriller about two best friends caught in a complex web of violence and betrayal.
Told in a series of haunting flashbacks, the story unfolds as a determined police detective (Keitel) questions New Jersey housewife, Cynthia Kellogg (Moore), about the death of her best friend’s abusive husband (brilliantly played by Willis). The two desperate women are reluctantly pushed toward the shocking, violent climax.
Rush
What happens when two cops stop loving their job…and start living it?
This ’emotionally riveting, powerful and unsparing film (Variety) exposes the plight of two narcotics officers who cross the line…and become enmeshed in the dangerous but intoxicating underbelly of the drug world.
One False Move
They did it for money. For power. And for fun.
Two ruthless drug dealers commit a brutal mass murder in Los Angeles and are forced to flee the state. And when Fantasia, their beautiful accomplice, begs to go home to Arkansas, she unwittingly leads them into the eye of the hurricane.
Carl Franklin’s Neo Noir masterpiece finally gets the deluxe treatment in HD. Written by Billy Bob Thornton & Tom Epperson.
Flesh & Bone
Arlis Sweeney (Dennis Quaid) leads a life as simple and unchanging as his native West Texas plains. He stocks vending machines, moving from town to town and from one familiar lover to another. Kay Davies (Meg Ryan) also calls the road her home. Running from a broken marriage, she doesn’t know where she’s headed, but any place is better than where she’s been. Fate brings them together and gives them a future, until a figure from the past–Arlis’s father (James Caan)–awakens a memory as deep and dark as a grave: a family history written in cold blood. From the writer of The Fabulous Baker Boys and Wonder Boys, and co-starring Gwyneth Paltrow in her first major feature film role.
Twilight
Screen legend Paul Newman heads a luminous cast in this acclaimed whodunit packed with stars and suspense. He plays Harry Ross, a burned-out private eye who’s plunged into a murder mystery tied to a long-unsolved case of Hollywood dreams, schemes, and cover-ups.
With Susan Sarandon, Gene Hackman, James Garner, Stockard Channing, and Reese Witherspoon all among the locals who inhabit a Tinseltown world of privilege and sleaze, sexuality, and desperation, trust and double-cross.
