With a tawdry plot and a short list of suspects, Twisted gives armchair detectives an easy chance to figure out whodunit. Critics roasted this pulpy potboiler, in which Ashley Judd (attempting to repeat the thriller success she had with Double Jeopardy and High Crimes) plays a San Francisco homicide detective who is her own prime suspect in an ongoing serial murder case, in which all of the victims are men she recently slept with. These one-night stands, and a problem with alcoholic blackouts, make Judd's wine-drinking character the loose cannon on the case, and her partner (Andy Garcia) and police commissioner mentor (Samuel L. Jackson) have their own reasons for wanting the case to close. Apparently nobody bothered to point out numerous weaknesses in Sarah Thorp's B-movie screenplay, and with no apparent interest in the proceedings, director Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff) allows Judd to look silly, Garcia to overact, and the whole movie to unfold in murky darkness and dimly lit rooms. Kaufman, Judd, and her costars are capable of better. --Jeff Shannon

Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation - Unprotected!

Unabashed, unredeemed, and most certainly unwholesome, Unprotected is another perverse romp through the animated wastelands of Spike and Mike. The festivities begin with a round of "No-Neck Joe" 'toons, featuring the stubby little hero in such everyday dilemmas as watching a tennis match (hard to do when you can't turn your head to follow the ball). "Meet the Beaters" is a sick sitcom taking family dysfunctionality to a bloody extreme. "Coco the Junkie Pimp" features clown marionettes who speak like monstrous street pimps, while "Stick Girl's Guide to Sex" is, let's say, an educational film about how to behave when a condom-less male member arrives unexpectedly at one's front door. The best thing on this disc, however, is not so much rude as it is clever: a terrific parody of the old Speed Racer series, mocking the show's early anime style and crazy cadences. --Tom KeoghDescription
This Sick & Twisted traveling cartoon festival was an offshoot of the Spike & Mike Animation Festival, which began as filler at rock concerts twenty-five years ago and remains the leading venue for cutting-edge cartoons. Now a part of the Cannes and Sundance Film Festivals, these yearly events have a massive dedicated following that continue to fill arenas in over 50 markets nationwide. Offering new and upcoming animators a place to showcase their films, the Spike & Mike Animation Festivals have launched the careers of now-famous animators such as Matt Stone and Trey Parker (South Park), Nick Park and Peter Lord of Aardman (Creature Comforts, Chicken Run), Craig McCracken (The Powerpuff Girls), Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead) and John Lasseter (Toy Story, Monsters Inc.) to name a few.1.

Oscar Nominee William Hickey in one of his last screen performances stars in Seth Michael Donsky's "Twisted," a contemporary riff on Charles Dickens' classic "Oliver Twist" re-imagined in a New York city subculture brimming with male hustlers, homeless denizens, drug addicts and drag queens."A stylized, operatic fable of innocence and corruption, its world and that of Dickens' is one and the same." - Kevin Thomas, The Los Angeles Times

Description
Biblical theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was executed by the Nazis just days before the Allies defeated Germany in World War II. This gripping documentary narrated by Ed Asner captures the life, times, and thought of Bonhoeffer. Using rare archival footage, documents, and visits to original locations, we get an intimate portrait of a man whose life and writings grow in their influence and speak powerfully to issues of our own day some 50 years later.How does a man of peace come to assist violence in combating unrestrained evil? What do you do when deep-seated patriotism for your nation compels you to oppose your fatherland and its demonic leader? What course do you take when your love for the Gospel conflicts with your tragically compromised church? What is the responsibility of a follower of God when others are being persecuted and sent to prison camps and gas chambers?
As shown in this two-hour program, Bonhoeffer confronted these and other issues with a searching Biblical faith and personal courage in a way that speaks to every generation.
