Film.com's FREE movie of the week is "Love the Hard Way." Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Charlotte Ayanna star in this drama about a thief who falls for a curious, beautiful young woman. As their intimacy grows, a slick cop (Pam Greer) is closing in.
In 1984, "Billy" Dean Cochran and Russell Crowe, two lads with a real flair for "fashion," struck up a friendship that developed into a songwriting/performing team that took the musical world--well, at least Market Place--by storm. After experiencing satisfying success as street buskers, the two musicians formed a band that, by 1992, had six established members and, in 1995, took the name 30 Odd Foot of Grunts. The film takes us along with the group from Sydney, Australia, to eight days of rehearsal in London, working around Russell's "day job," to the summer heat of an Austin, Texas, recording studio and three sell-out performances at Stubb's Bar-B-Q.
