As the line dividing the living from the dead gradually begins to blur, it soon becomes apparent that something horrible happened in the Copley house.

But while the Karma Police are hard at work watching the rest of us, whose watching them? ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Bill (Bill Paxton) has started using Viagra to treat his impotence, and the results are quickly noticeable to Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and Nicki (Chloƫ Sevigny) because they have to leave the backyard so their kids won't hear Margene's (Ginnifer Goodwin) screams of passion coming from the bedroom.Nicki volunteers to talk to Bill about how thoughtless they're being, and ends up going at it with Bill herself in Margene's bedroom. Margene overhears and is horrified, leading to increasing tension between the three wives. Margene also tells Bill that she needs her own car. Bill lets Roman (Harry Dean Stanton) know that he doesn't feel their old loan agreement extends to his newly opened second store. Roman clearly sees Bill's success as part of his own personal empire, and Bill is worried that the dangerous old man might take some kind of drastic action, so he hires a security consultant to install an alarm system in his three connected houses. Bill goes to drive Frank (Bruce Dern) home from the hospital, and Frank realizes that Bill suspects that it was Lois (Grace Zabriskie) who poisoned him. Ben's (Douglas Smith) non-Mormon girlfriend, Brynn (Sarah Jones), seems eager to get physically intimate with him, and he struggles against his natural desires. Heather (Tina Majorino) makes it clear to Sarah (Amanda Seyfried) that she knows about her parents' polygamous lifestyle, and still wants to be friends with her. "I should tell you," Heather warns her, "I don't agree with polygamy." "Yeah, well," Sarah responds, "Neither do I." Seyfried, Majorino, and Kyle Gallner, who plays Jason Embry, all also had recurring roles on Veronica Mars. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

Add The Astronaut Farmer to QueueAdd The Astronaut Farmer to top of Queue
An aspiring astronaut who was forced to forsake his dream of exploring space in order to save the family farm begins building his own personal rocket as a means of reaching the stars in this quirky rural drama starring Billy Bob Thornton. There once was a time when Charlie Farmer (Thornton) seemed like a shoo-in for NASA's esteemed astronaut training program. An Air Force pilot who held a degree in aerospace engineering, Charlie was well on his way to blasting off when a family crisis grounded his celestial aspirations. Of course, Charlie's feet may be firmly planted on terra firma these days, but his thoughts are constantly ascending into the clouds and beyond. It's been ten long years since the man who would navigate the stars began tending to the family farm, and during that time, Charlie has dedicated every moment of his spare time to building the rocket that will one day launch him into space. Though his devoted wife, Audie (Virginia Madsen), the pair's three children, Sunshine, Stanley, and Shepard, and even his father-in-law, Hal (Bruce Dern), all support Charlie in achieving his lifelong goal of becoming the nation's first independent astronaut, a last-minute hitch on the eve before the big launch unexpectedly stalls Charlie's countdown. It seems that Charlie's quest to obtain a substantial amount of high-grade rocket fuel has attracted the attention of not only the FBI, but the CIA, the FAA, and the United States military as well. Now, as the powers that be attempt to ground Charlie, citing concerns for civilian safety, a media frenzy descends upon the once-quiet farm as the reluctant renegade hero vows to show his children just how far one's courage and willingness to pursue one's own ideals can get a person when one refuses to give up hope. Northfork writing/directing duo Mark and Michael Polish team up to tell the tale of a man considered an oddity by his neighbors, a criminal by the government, and an inspiration by the media and the people. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Add Primer to QueueAdd Primer to top of Queue
The debut feature from filmmaker Shane Carruth -- who wrote, directed, photographed, edited, scored, and stars -- Primer is a psychological sci-fi thriller about a group of four tech entrepreneurs. Toiling away in a garage, the quartet have successfully created error-checking systems for their clients. But their recent work seems to have created an unexpected and seemingly impossible side-effect. Suddenly, two members of the group realize they are in possession of a device that can double, or perhaps even quadruple, the space-time continuum of anything that enters it. What at first seems like a windfall of astronomical proportions eventually proves to be much more than they bargained for, as the duo attempt to manipulate time to their financial -- and emotional -- benefit. Also starring Casey Gooden, Anand Upadhyaya, and Carrie Crawford, Primer premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the coveted Grand Jury Prize for dramatic film. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
