Paul Millander (Matt O'Toole), the serial killer who taunted the squad throughout the first season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, is back in business. Claiming a third victim, Millander repeats his previous M.O., leaving behind a tape suggesting that the victim committed suicide. But Grissom (William L. Petersen) not only concludes that no suicide has occurred, but also ascertains that the victim's birth date was August 17, the same day in 1959 that Millander's own father was killed -- and, more chillingly, the same day in 1956 that Grissom himself was born. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
In this black comedy, a group of small-town mail carriers start living up to all the worst cliches about themselves; they start coming unhinged, making their appointed rounds armed to the teeth. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon play Thelma and Louise, two working-class friends who together have planned a weekend getaway from the men in their lives. Thelma's husband, Darryl (Chris McDonald), is an overbearing oaf, and Louise's boyfriend, Jimmy (Michael Madsen), simply will not commit. Though the road trip starts out as a good time, the pair eventually wind up at a bar. A tipsy Thelma ends up in the parking lot of the bar with a would-be rapist. Louise shoots the man dead. The two decide that they have no choice but to go on the run. They eventually meet up with a young criminal named J.D. (Brad Pitt), whose cowboy spirit rubs off on the timid Thelma. The pair is pursued by a police officer (Harvey Keitel) sympathetic toward their plight. He chases them to the Grand Canyon, where the women make a fateful decision about their lives. Directed by Ridley Scott, Thelma & Louise brought first-time screenwriter Callie Khouri many accolades including the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
