Something Wild

1986 Jonathan Demme film stars Melanie Griffith, Jeff Daniels, and Ray Liotta.

Unusual film bounces back and forth between screwball comedy and suspenseful drama...with some scary violence along the way.

Stuffy businessman Daniels meets sexy Griffith and, kooky as she is, is swept away on an days long adventure. The actors keep the improbable plot interesting. Griffith is fun and attractive (read that as hot), Daniels is adequately staid and goofy, and Liotta steals the whole shebang.

Plot twists and turns as the whole movie veers from one genre to another. Different.

Blood Simple

Love Coen Brothers movies. From Raising Arizona and O Brother Where Art Thou to The Big Liebowski.

Almost all of their films seem to be about crimes gone wrong. But each is instilled with its own unique personality and great characters. And Bllod Simple was the start of it all.

Made in 1984 by Joel and Ethan Coen and starring Frances McDormand, Dan Hedaya (remember him as Nick Tortelli on Cheers?), John Getz, and M. Emmet Walsh, Blood Simple is a modern day film noir.

Bar owner husband is being cheated on and hires someone to kill his wife and her lover. But that's only the beginning. The plot twists and turns keeping us in suspense and, at the same time, laughing at the twisted humor.
