Based on the late Charles Willeford's series of hard-boiled crime novels featuring Miami cop Hoke Moseley, the Jonathan Demme-produced Miami Blues opens with the prison release of Frederick Frenger Jr. (Alec Baldwin), a deranged killer who has barely de-boarded his plane before he's killed a Hare Krishna in the airport. Checking into his hotel, Frenger meets up with Susie Waggoner (Jennifer Jason Leigh), a young prostitute with dreams of domestic life, and the two quickly become romantically involved. Meanwhile, the Hare Krishna murder case is given to Moseley (Fred Ward), a grizzled vet who vows to hunt down Frenger, but may be getting too long in the tooth for the demands of his job. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

In this horror comedy, the new owner of the beautiful old Ritz theater is in the process of renovating it when he discovers that beneath the stage lives the evil, enraged spirit of a teen who was burned and disfigured during a drag race in the mid '50s. Afterward, he took to living in the Ritz and remained there until 1992 when the hapless new owner took over. The trouble begins because the phantom does not want any one messing with what he believes is his theater. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
