A Slight Case of Murder (1999) William H. Macy earned an Emmy nomination for his pitch-perfect performance as a TV film critic who covers up the accidental death -- or was is a murder -- of his secret lover. Before he knows it, a private detective (James Cromwell) blackmails him with evidence that pins him to the scene of the crime and the investigating detective (Alan Arkin) keeps him close… the better to slip him his screenplay. All the while he keeps a running commentary of audience asides to share his insights on how to get away with murder, while a series of film noir film clips acts as a chorus. Macy also scripts the comic murder mystery, an adaptation of the Donald E. Westlake novel, with director Steven Schachter (they also collaborated on the tele-films The Wool Hat and Door to Door), and Felicity Huffman co-stars.

American Blackout Most people have heard of the voting irregularities that marred the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. Some even know of the resulting challenges to the electoral votes by African-American congressional representatives. However, because the mainstream media shies away from reporting cases of imperiled democracy the public is left to believe these stories are at worst insignificant rumors or at best one-off incidents that result from an overburdened election system. American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of disenfranchisement witnessed from 2000 to 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who not only took an active role in investigating these election debacles but also found herself in the middle of one after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Some call Cynthia McKinney a civil rights leader among the ranks of Shirley Chisholm and Malcolm X. Others call her a conspiracy theorist and a "looney." American Blackout gains unprecedented access to one of the most controversial and dangerous politicians in America and examines the contemporary tactics used to control our democratic process and silence political dissent.

Dracula: 75th Anniversary Edition (1931) Tod Browning's inimitable classic may not be the definitive version of Bram Stoker's novel -- it's creaky, stiff, and often stagy -- but it's easily the most famous, a veritable cultural touchstone and it will remain memorable for its gorgeous gothic images, for Lugosi's legendary, iconic performance, and for setting off the cinematic fascination with vampires. This edition features an option to watch the film accompanied by Philip Glass' lovely, lush music (performed by the Kronos Quartet), which smoothes out Browning's direction and drenches the numerous wordless passages in mood, but becomes distracting during dialogue scenes.

This is often cited as a superior version for its smooth, elegant camerawork, atmospheric mood, striking compositions, startling close-ups, and astonishingly sexy heroine (Lupita Tovar).

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Ultimate Edition (1974) The saw is family in Tobe Hooper's brutal, brilliant debut film, a grungy, grisly horror about a perverse Texas cannibal clan (inspired by the story of Ed Gein) and the teenagers that wander into their home (decorated in furniture constructed from human bones) and their meathooks. Shot in the cheap with a primitive look that belies the craft put into it, the film earns its garish title and notorious reputation, notably with the almost pure savagery of the film's poster-boy Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen), the devoted mute son who wields the chainsaw under a mask of human flesh. It's unrelenting and unforgettable and its raw gore remains its strongest element. Along with Night of the Living Dead and The Last House on the Left, it ushered in the modern age of horror in the 1970s.
