A sexy female rock band is forced to fight for their lives when their tour van breaks down in the middle of Wisconsin and a murderous trio of backwoods maniacs emerges to carve them up and claim their feet. They say that life on the road can be a living hell, and this band is about to learn that truth the hard way. Advised to take a shortcut on their was to a record company showcase in Los Angeles, the girls realize that they might not make it past Wisconsin when their van suddenly stalls out in the middle of nowhere. But this godforsaken place isn't entirely abandoned, because lurking nearby is a psychotic trio of maniacal deviants who have been waiting too long for their next victims to arrive. Needless to say, running away isn't easy after your feet have been chopped off to satisfy an axe-wilding psycho's peculiar foot fetish. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In this hard-edged urban drama, when a shocking murder is committed in a Hispanic neighborhood in East Lost Angeles, the local residents are up in arms and demand action from the police. When the cops prove slow to investigate the killing, the local street gangs who prowl the area put aside their differences and set out to find the murderer themselves. Starring Ruben Garfias, Robert Arevalo, and Nenna Quiroz, The Barrio Murders was the first feature film from writer and director Jojo Henrickson. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
Described as an inverted Runaway Bride (1999), The Best Man is a zany comedy about male marital jitters. Three years after being left at the alter, Adam (John Newcombe) still cannot make it through a wedding ceremony without becoming violently ill. His friend and editor Jimmy (John Hines) makes a deal with the struggling cartoonist; he will find a buyer for Adam's comic strip if Adam acts as best man for his wedding. Reluctantly agreeing, Adam follows Jimmy and his bride-to-be (Grace Phillips) to small-town Indiana to attend his nightmare dressed in white. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

- Grace Phillips, John Newcombe, (more)
John Hughes sticks to his seemingly fool-proof formula for success in Baby's Day Out, a cross-pollination of Home Alone and a Swee' Pea cartoon. The plot seems all-too familiar: posing as baby photographers, a group of three would-be kidnappers (led by the usually outstanding character actor Joe Pantoliano) enter an unsuspecting wealthy Chicago couple's home and make off with Baby Bink after leaving a ransom note. However, while waiting for the delivery of the ransom money, Baby Bink manages to escape and subsequently embarks on a series of cutesy-poo adventures in downtown Chicago (including a crawl through a skyscraper construction site), leaving the hapless crooks in hot pursuit. ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi
- Starring:
- Joe Mantegna, Lara Flynn Boyle, (more)
This slapstick parody of space movies chronicles the riotous exploits of a group of dim-bulbed, misguided aliens under the mistaken impression that they are supposed to invade the Earth after they hear a rebroadcast of Orson Welles' notorious "War of the Worlds" one Halloween night. Thinking they are late, they rush in with their ramshackle spaceship and end up in Big Bean, Illinois, a peaceful midwestern town. Naturally after they announce they want to kill the "Earth scum," the residents want to kill them. Fortunately, the town sheriff and his daughter try to keep the moronic Martians safe and help their captain get them safely back in space. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
- Starring:
- Douglas Barr, Royal Dano, (more)
