Billy Bob Thornton's ALL THE PRETTY HORSES is about John Grady Cole (Matt Damon), a young rancher growing up just after WWII. After his mother sells the family ranch, John convinces his best friend, Lacey Rawlins (Henry Thomas), to accompany him to Mexico, where ranching is still a big part of life. Along the way they meet Jimmy Blevins (Lucas Black), a winningly enthusiastic boy with a volatile nature. Eventually, John and Lacey end up on a huge ranch south of the border, where John falls for the wealthy rancher's daughter (Penélope Cruz). This leads to deadly trouble for the two young men, but John won't be dissuaded from pursuing his new love. Thornton has made a credible modern Western with this film, which gets strong performances from Damon, Cruz, Thomas, and, in a star-making turn, Black as the fiery Blevins. ALL THE PRETTY HORSES is at its best when focusing on the dusty details of the ranchers' hard existence. Barry Markowitz's cinematography and Ted Tally's script (based on Cormac McCarthy's much-loved novel) capture a sweet and melancholy flavor in depicting a way of life that seemed long since lost even while a hardy few were still living it.
This 112 minute DVD freature film stars Matt Damon, Penelope Cruz, Henry Thomas, Lucas Black, Ruben Blades, among others and is directed by Billy ...

When several strangers get trapped on an infamous horror movie set while touring a Hollywood studio, they must tell their scariest stories as if their lives depended on it. Genre fans should already smell an anthology, and they are on the right track if images of CREEPSHOW, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, or the MASTERS OF HORROR and FEAR ITSELF series are creeping into mind. The tales found here are directed by some of the biggest names in horror, cult, and special effects, including Sean S. Cunningham (FRIDAY THE 13TH), Ken Russell (ALTERED STATES, TOMMY), Monte Hellman (TWO-LANE BLACKTOP), and some of the visual effects artists from THE MATRIX and TERMINATOR 2. Off-kilter genre director Joe Dante (GREMLINS, THE HOWLING, MATINEE) takes wrap-around story duties in this fresh take on anthology horror.
Seven strangers are trapped inside an infamous 'House of Horror' during ...
