Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

I still view In the Company of Men (1997) as the most provocative film most of you have probably never seen.  Aaron Eckhart, Matt Malloy, and Stacy Edwards headline the psychological thriller, written and directed by the talented and ambitious Neil LaBute. The film was made on the cheap in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and did not require much in the way of fancy sets of huge explosions--The best films do not need all of those bells and whistles, whereas most big Hollywood films today need to use those iconic but recycled character, sound and visual effects, huge sets and explosions to fill the emptiness of the thin plot and superficial characters (and likely the emptiness felt by the type of audience members attracted to those movies in the first place). This one is excellent on its own merits, and it knows it. Check it out. via imdb.com:

Two business executives--one an avowed misogynist, the other recently emotionally wounded by his love interest--set out to exact revenge on the female gender by seeking out the most innocent, uncorrupted girl they can find and ruining her life.
