Rated: R
American History X is a profound and stirring drama about the consequences of urban racism as a family is torn apart by hate. A graphic examination of extremism in America, the film follows one man's struggle to reform himself and save his brother after living a life consumed by violence and bigotry. Raging for retribution over the murder of their firefighter father and burning for a way to vent his rage, Derek finds himself transformed by a philosophy of hate. His incendiary actions ultimately culminate in a brutal murder and a prison sentence for himself.
Three years later, everyone awaits Derek's return: His mother Doris (Beverly D'Angelo), who prays for his safety; his girlfriend (Fairuza Balk); and most of all Danny, who is desperate for his brother's love and guidance.
On the day of Derek's release from prison, Danny hands in a school book report on Mein Kampf. Enraged, the school principal (Avery Brooks) demands that Danny write a new paper, one on the events that led to Derek's incarceration.
Fresh from prison, Derek no longer views hatred as a badge of honor. He is ashamed of his past and is now in a race to save Danny and the Vineyard family from the violence he's brought upon them. |

After destroying a vampire nest in rural New Mexico, 'Team Crow' is savagely ambushed during the victory celebration by the unholy Valek (Thomas Ian Griffith), a vicious 600-year-old vampire.

With most of his team massacred, and accompanied only by a young priest (Tim Guinee), the sole surviving member of his team, Montoya (Daniel Baldwin), and Katrina (Sheryl Lee), a prostitute bitten by Valek who has yet to 'change over,' Crow pursues Valek through the high deserts, culminating in a fateful confrontation between faith and immortality... |
