05.27.03 by ScottC @ 8:13 pm  Film: Written by: John Clifford Released by: Rhino My Advice: If you're interested, rent the Criterion version. Indulging in an impromptu drag race, a bunch of kids drive their car into the river. The only survivor is Mary Henry (Hilligoss), a student of the organ (the instrument, mind you). After the accident, she's not the same person. This is understandable because of the accident...but then she starts seeing a zombie all over the place. Then people start to act if she doesn't exist. Maybe it can be explained psychologically, but then she is also drawn to a condemned amusement park. With her fear and paranoia mounting, is Mary to suffer a worse fate than going insane?

Released by: 20th Century Fox My Advice: Wayne fans should rent it Sam McCord (Wayne) is a decent enough man. He's up around Nome, Alaska, prospecting for gold, along with his partners George (Granger) and his brother Billy (Fabian). It's the turn of the 20th Century, by the way. Anyway, the three of them strike it plumb rich, as the idiom might have it. It's been two long years since they've been cranking away at their claim, but now it's time for George's true love, Jennie (Lilyan Chauvin), to come up from Seattle so that she and George can get hitched. Sam has to go down to fetch some equipment, so the guys figure he'll fetch Jennie while he's in the neighborhood. Trouble is, when Sam gets to Seattle, he finds Jennie couldn't wait--she's already married to someone else. He finds a supposedly nice girl (Capucine) to take Jennie's place...and the problems just escalate from there. Categorized as: DVD and Reviews

Released by: Wellspring Media My Advice: Rent it. Most teenagers feel isolated and alienated, but Hunter Kirk (Duval) has to deal with big heaping tablespoons of this condition. With a white father, Hank (Anderson), and a Native American mother, Maggie (Arredondo), Hunter doesn't feel truly connected to either culture. Hunter also suffers from hemophilia, a disease that is rare among Native Americans and prevents him from engaging in many physical activities with his father. An attempt at some father-son bonding while hunting ends badly when Hunter shoots a doe deer instead of a buck, a big no-no. Hence his nickname, "Doe Boy." The massive bruise he gets that could be fatal doesn't help either. So Hunter drifts around sullen and frustrated. But now, Hunter may be a victim of the early AIDS epidemic and this sideswipe of mortality has him coming to terms with his family and his heritage and the stigma of being The Doe Boy.
