In this comedy, a misanthropic graduate student rails at the wretched world that refuses to publish his 3,000 page Ph.D. dissertation, "American Chaos: The Rotting Years." His wife, sick of his cynical tirades, leaves him; later his family and friends do all they can to ease his blues. When he begins experiencing ominous visions concerning his wife's safety, they help him save her. It is only after the two come back together that the man realizes that love is more fun than cynicism. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Billy Zane stars in this direct-to-video gem as a spectacularly unsuccessful car thief. Hoping to reform by leaving LA, Zane must scare up $400 worth of exit money. He decides to pull off one last job, stealing a TV from William Bastiani. An ill-tempered criminal, Bastiani stabs Zane, who then runs off blindly into a cemetary ("Blood" and "Concrete": get it?) Weaving around the tombstones, Zane makes the acquaintance of would-be suicide Jennifer Beals. Love blooms, but it might be too late for both of them: Bastiani is found murdered, and Zane is suspect number one-forcing him to hide out from both the cops and the mob. Luxuriating in its tawdriness and cheapness, Blood & Concrete: A Love Story actually has an offbeat charm all its own. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
