Rated:R In the ghetto, the only thing more dangerous than a gun is a dream. And gifted Brooklyn hip-hop artist Diamond has a big dream - to rise from the streets of New York to superstardorn in the music world .... if only he can survive the ride.
Rated:R Traumatized and beaten down after years of pursuing psychotic killers in Los Angeles, FBI agent Joel Campbell (James Spader) has gone into hiding -- trying to forge a new life in Chicago. But instead, he is sickened by a rash of killings that follow a familiar pattern. They are undoubtedly the work of one man - David Allen Griffin (Keanu Reeves).
The cunning and tormenting Griffin prodded and eluded Campbell for years in Los Angeles. And now he has pursued his tracker to Chicago. Each successive killing reminds Campbell of his past failures and for his nemesis Griffin, Campell's exquisite torture becomes his entire reason for killing. Unless Campbell can stop him, he will become the killer's ultimate victim.
Rated:R Traumatized as a result of witnessing her husband's brutal slaying, Betty (Renee Zellweger), a small-town waitress and soap opera fan, enters a fugue state that allows -- even encourages -- her to keep functioning... in a state of alternate reality. Now living out the fantasy life of the erstwhile Nurse Betty, she is set on returing to the love of her life, the lead character on Betty's favorite medical soap opera... the fictional Dr. Ravell.
Betty promptly leaves town in the car that her late husband's killers are looking for. They, in turn, set off after Betty, followed also by the local sheriff Ballard (Pruitt Taylor Vince) and local reporter Roy Ostrey (Crispin Glover), who are investigating her husband's murder and Betty's sudden, unexplained disappearance. When she finally tracks down her (fictional) love interest, the actor that plays him, George McCord (Greg Kinnear) isn't sure what to make of her. With the hit-men hot on her trail, life begins to imitate art... and vice versa.
Rated:R Longtime partners Parker (Ryan Phillippe) and Longbaugh (Benicio Del Toro) are hoping for a quick and nonviolent payoff when they abduct Robin (Juliette Lewis), a young woman carrying the child of a wealthy Southwestern couple. But kidnapping proves to be much more complicated, logistically and psychologically, than other felonies they've committed. Parker is increasingly drawn to the mysterious Robin, whose imminent delivery date awakens strong feelings in him. Tensions rise between Parker and Longbaugh, a ruthlessly decisive man who knows Parker's sentimental impulses could land them in big trouble. As the moment for the ransom exchange approaches, Parker and Longbaugh must battle not only well-armed opponents, but also their own conflicted emotions.
