Julian Nitzberg made his directorial debut with this low-budget 16mm "white trash black comedy." The drug bust of speed-merchant Dean (Judson Mills) is taped by a reality TV show in the style of Cops. When this footage is telecast, Dean's mom dies of a heart attack, so his wife Sandra (Mary Sheridan) has to raise money for both bail and a funeral. After Sandra and younger sis Amanda (Mary Lynn Rajskub) get wasted on pot and wine coolers, they don weird costumes to conceal their identities and exit to rob a local convenience store. But another thief beats them to the store. Unaware that she knows this thug, Sandra shoots, killing him, and they dig an immense hole to hide both the body and the bloody automobile. Shown at the 1998 Montreal World Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

William Wellman Jr., son of the famous director, stars in Prodigal Planet. Set in the future, the story concerns an ongoing battle against an all-powerful government organization called UNTIE. We first saw the good guys and bad guys in Thief in the Night, then in two followup films. In this fourth entry in the saga, the forces of good do their utmost to bollix up UNTIE's complex communications systems. If this plot device smacks of a corny techno-nerd contrivance, please remember that virtually the same device was used in the megahit Independence Day (1996)-and everybody swallowed it that time. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
