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.
A quirky portrait celebrating the virtue and valor of some common chickens. While we do learn that Americans are gobbling up more poultry than other types of meat these days (about 80lbs. per person per year), we also witness inspirational tales of chickens with an incredible will to survive--from Valerie, a frozen chicken who was lovingly revived with mouth to beak resuscitation--to "Miracle Mike" the 1940's side show attraction who lived 2 1/2 years after his beheading (much to the dismay of animal activists). Lewis explores the invincible nature of chickens and their varied relationships with humans, as we travel from a farm where free range chickens move from hatchery, to friend, to dinner table--to Florida where a fancy white French chicken is an adored pet who is bathed and primped regularly by her doting "mommy".
