Filmed entirely in Maryland.
The story: Miss Molly is a newlywed.
She and her new hubby decide to move into her deceased parents' home, which is really strange from the get-go cause Molly had some really heavy issues living in that house, which led to some even heavier drug use.
Anyhoo, the two move in with high hopes but right off the bat, things get pretty creepy around the house during the night time.
Right after Molly shows that she's basically scared shitless to stay at the house alone, her new hubby springs on her that his job will be keeping him away for many days at a time.
Oh, joy...
So shortly right after Molly's husband begins leaving her alone in the house, things get creepier and creepier by the day and at first Molly doesn't know what the hell is going on...but she figures it out...only we cant! :P
Well, actually us not knowing whats going on with Molly and the house is a lie...but I think maybe I should have said we just may not want to know...O_o

When the mid-70s arrived, and the moneymaker called cocaine started showing its face, things quickly started to change.
Cocaine and the money that is brought into the sleepy town began seeing it thrive with new clubs and businesses, Cuban immigrants and everyone saw all this as exciting and new.
By the time the late 70s happened, things in Miami started to become dangerous.
With the cocaine dealers and their rivals being violent and stopping at no end to get what they want.
But come the 1980s in Miami and now the Cubans are rivals against the newcomer Colombians and the shit really just hit the fan....all revolving around the money and power that cocaine generates.

Release date(s) unknown, made for The Learning Channel.
Filming location(s) unknown.
This is the little-known tale, documenting how Marilyn Monroe had - once upon a time, dropped her movie management - 20th Century Fox and went on to produce a company along with a longtime friend, confidant and personal photographer - Milton Green.
Running off around the Christmas holiday season with Milton from California to New York City to hide out from her public, they went there with high hopes.
Their intention was to start their own movie production company - Marilyn Monroe Pictures. Being a sole vehicle for Miss Monroe to put out movies with her playing serious roles in them.
Many troubles ensued and the company only put out one very well made film.
The brilliant idea and company were very short-lived due to many complications and broken relationships.
Here we get to see what all that commotion was indeed about, through interviews with Marilyn, Milton, people who knew Marilyn, never before seen home movies and public announcements.

COMEDY
oh...kay...
This one, I gotta tell ya...this one has got me allll confused.
Now, it's not the movie or its contents that's got me all bobble-headed, its the fact that this is marketed as a "true story"...hmm
But!... I later found out and I'm a little shaky on this as well, but I later came to the conclusion that this is one of a three-part series, the first of the three as a matter of fact -... hmmm, more confusion.
Okay so...with saying all that...I will just tell you now.
While watching this, I was under the impression that this is, in fact, a true story or at least based on some sort of facts.
Well, this very well may be based on truths...only this film is not based on any one or two real-life people...possibly multiple people, if that makes any sense to you...
You could always go and search around for yourself and get more confused about it all like me!
Or...you could just watch this and be done with it at the end.
Yep...okay then.
Released, after being shown in many film fests, on DVD - January 24th in the US.

PSEUDO-DOCUMENTARY??
I just have to warn you...this movie is not for the narrow-minded and if you are nowhere near a fan of punk rock anything...just steer clear of this.
Things here were just so out-of-the-ordinary that I found myself laughing a lot....and I also found, that if I was ever to witness such a spectacle at a live show...I know I wouldn't be able to stop myself from laughing.
Yeeeeuk! ok?

The story: Judd is a weird kind of guy.
Well...he owns and runs a local hotel.
But he also has a pet crocodile he keeps in a swamp right out in front of the hotel and of course anyone in town that knows creepy old Judd thinks - yea, having a pet crocodile is different, but nothing to be alarmed about.
... ...,...
I don't know about you, but the pet crocodile thing would keep me moving on for another hotel!
Maybe the people who stay at Judd's hotel should have done that very same thing.

The story: In 1976, Lois Gibbs is a married mother of two, living in a quaint suburb in Niagara Falls called Love Canal.
Mrs. Gibbs is beginning to struggle with her young sons' illnesses.
After speaking to the principal at the school about transferring her son to a school that would better suit his needs, she learns that there are recent reports that the school her children attend, is in fact built on said contaminated grounds.
This gets Lois thinking.
It is quite possible that her son's illnesses' are due to the contamination possibly leaking into the grounds where all the local children spend a good amount of time.
Lois begins a three-year fight to get the school and neighborhood she and many neighbors are living in, which is slowly killing them - condemned to the public.

DRAMA/BIOGRAPHY
This is based on truths.
So, the maker of this film made his movie through the eyes, point of view and words of the 16-year-old (at the time of the crimes), accomplice - James "Jamie" Vlassakis. A lot of the scenes were filmed at the actual homes where the murders had taken place and the cast - many an Adelaide, South Australia local.
This is said to be the most heinous of crimes Australia has ever seen which went on from 1992 until 1999, also being referred to in the press as the 'Bodies in Barrels murders'.
Released March 2, 2012, in the US.
Filmed in Australia.
The story: Jamie is a young boy who is living with his confused mom, her many kids and a few others in a halfway house of sorts.
When Jamie and his younger siblings are found to have been photographed nude by their mom's next-door neighbor boyfriend, the rest of the neighborhood basically goes ape shit.
The neighbors all get together, routinely - to talk about the local child molesters, gay men, and pedophiles in the area and what should be done about them.
Soon, mom hooks up with yet another one of these neighbors, only this guy has a mean rooted vengeance that mom and the kids don't know about - for anyone he sees unfit to be living. The new good guy/beau becomes Jamie and his younger siblings' new best bud and male role model.
After a while, it looks as if that wasn't as much of a good idea as it seemed.

Release dates in the US unknown.

Based on truths.... but, other than the recorded, raging discussions between Miss Anneliese with the exorcizing priests and the daily notes of a scientific study that was done during the same time as the recordings...I'm completely out of the loop on pinpointing which parts are legit. This movie plays as a home movie.
I will say this...as I listened as closely as I possibly could to the outrageous recordings, I was totally spooked and completely in need of hearing more or understanding any of it. I never did understand a word and I can't exactly tell you what language the angry spewing is in, but I can tell you it was spin-tingling.
One last thing, is this a different story as the 1973 Exorcist story or the same? I have this feeling they are, in fact, two different stories but I'm a bit confused, to say the least.
The story: In June of 1976, Anneliese Michel is a 23-year-old, extremely religious young woman, who hasn't been herself for lack of a better term.
For the past two years, she has been under the care and prescribed medicines by doctors who believe she has been experiencing schizophrenia and epileptic seizures.
But after two years of experiments, Anneliese and her family only see that she is getting worse.
The family believes turning to their priest for help is their only other option, as their beloved Anneliese now has very violent episodes with herself and her family.
