This 1997 thriller For Hire ponders the question of what terrible things a person might be persuaded to do, given the right circumstances and the right price. Rob Lowe plays Mitch, a Chicago cab driver trying to make it as an actor, married to the pregnant Faye. Among his clients are bestselling writer Lou Weber (Joe Mantegna), who befriends Mitch and confides in him that a drug dealer is trying to kill him. Over the next few days, Mitch begins to suffer severe stomach pains, collapsing in Weber's apartment after a fare and is diagnosed with inoperable stomach cancer. With only a short time to live, he decides to take up Weber's offer to rub out his drug dealer stalker for $50,000, a nest egg for his family after he's gone. A not entirely unpredictable twist follows, hinted at by the Lucifer-like beard sported by Mantegna and the film alights only briefly to meditate on the potential for evil in all of us before resuming its journey along conventional, though certainly passable Hollywood thriller lines. An intriguing precept--it's just a slight shame that neither the players nor director's hearts seem really to be in this movie. On the DVD: Features a trailer. --David Stubbs
Collection of documentaries, features and television episodes that examine the lives and careers of four of the best-loved crooners. Frank Sinatra hosts two episodes of 'The Frank Sinatra Show' (1950), a variety show featuring the talents of Stump and Stumpy, Peggy Lee, Bob Hope and Kim Novak. 'Second Chorus' (1941) is a musical comedy starring Fred Astaire and Hank Taylor as competitive trumpet players in a college band. 'Royal Wedding' (1951) sees Astaire star alongside Jane Powell as a brother and sister song and dance duo. 'Road to Hollywood' (1946) is a documentary that looks at the work of Bing Crosby. Selling over half a billion records in the first half of the 20th century, Crosby quickly became a popular influence within the music and film industries, dominating the box office throughout the 1940s. 'Reaching for the Moon' (1930) is a black and white musical featuring the vocal talents of Crosby singing Irving Berlin's famous 'Lower Than Lowdown'. Dean Martin hosts an episode of the popular American show 'The Colgate Comedy Hour' with Jerry Lewis, featuring Janis Paige, Danny Arnold and The Johnny Conrad Dancers.

Fred Astaire dances on the ceiling in this 1951 Alan Jay Lerner musical for MGM, directed by Stanley Donen (Singin' in the Rain). The appealing story finds Astaire as part of a brother-and-sister act (along with Jane Powell) that travels to London at the time of Queen Elizabeth II's wedding. Astaire and Powell each find romances that threaten to break up the act, but that's mostly fun window dressing in a movie better known for some truly creative sequences made vivid by Donen, including Astaire's famous dance with a hat rack and his duet with Powell, "How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You (When You Know I've Been a Liar All My Life)?" --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
