The early years of the famous magnate, Howard Hughes (1905-1976), are charted in this biographical chronicle where Leo DiCaprio stars. His eclectic career came through everything from oil, for which he cared little, to casinos, film, and aviation - as he turned millions of dollars into billions. His relationships with Hollywood's divas, including the elegant screen star Katharine Hepburn (Blanchett) and the sensual screen beauty Ava Gardner (Beckinsale) were also volatile. He was the incarnated mid-century icon of American wealth. Martin Scorsese directed this fast-moving, epic-scale biopic documenting the life and loves of the one of the most colorful Americans of the 20th century and also chronicles Hughes' struggle with his physical phobias and disabilities, and with his increasingly erratic, obsessive-compulsive behavior that forces him to isolate himself from the world.

A dark tale based on the true story of Aileen Wuornos, one of America's first female serial killers. Wuornos had a difficult and cruel childhood plagued by abuse and drug use in Michigan. She became a prostitute by the age of thirteen, the same year she became pregnant. She eventually moved to Florida where she began earning a living as a highway prostitute—servicing the desires of semi-truck drivers. The tale focuses on the nine month period between 1989 and 1990, during which Wuornos had a lesbian relationship with a woman named Selby. And during that very same time, she also began murdering her clientele in order to get money without using sex. This turned the tables on a rather common phenomena of female highway prostitutes being the victims of serial killers—instead Wuornos, herself, carried out the deeds of a cold-blooded killer.

Michael Reilly Burke's portrayal of the notorious serial killer Ted Bundy is exceptional. This account begins in 1974 with Bundy as a sympathetic counselor at an emergency hotline center in Seattle as well as a struggling law student. Bundy was handsome, intelligent, and well spoken, but something disturbing lurked just beneath the facade and his sociopathic behavior set forth a series of events that would shock the world. "Ted Bundy" moves from the 1974 Seattle killings to Utah, Colorado, and to his final killing spree in Tallahassee, Florida shortly after he escaped (for the second time) from incarceration and ends with his humiliating demise in the electric chair on January 24th, 1989. Theodore Robert Bundy confessed to killing 28 women, but the actual number Bundy carried with him to his grave. Some say, however, that he is responsible for as many as 33 to 100 murders of young women.
