From the writer of Ted Bundy and The Hillside Strangler comes this biopic of another one of America's most notorious serial killers Charles Starkweather. Starring Brent Taylor in the title role, Starkweather details the bloody escapades of the 19-year-old murderer and his fourteen-year-old girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate (The O.C.'s Shannon Lucio), as they cross 1950s middle America leaving a trail of dead in their path. Directed by Byron Werner, the film also stars veteran character actor Lance Henriksen. Terrence Malick dramatized the same story thirty years prior in Badlands. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Karl Hirsch directs this irrepressibly dumb buddy flick about pot, farts, and the CIA. Waylon (Corin Nemec) and Buzz (David Faustino) are a lifelong pals and lifelong losers; at the film's outset, they are canned from yet another job. After deciding to inaugurate their newly-unemployed status by looking for some women, they run into a couple of comely lasses (Caroline Keenan and Danielle Harris) who challenge them to do one thing right: to cross town and pick them up a particular snack-treat. A simple task, but then, they're simple guys. They end up breaking into a convenience store and get locked in. In the basement, they discover a huge pot-farming operation and proceed to smoke a lot of weed. This raises the ire of Fievel Tenenbaum (Maurice Chasse), a high school biology teacher-turned-ganja-growing gangsta and the Gooch (Robert Stack), a loose-cannon CIA operative who has gone a little funny in the head. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
