Two bounty hunters are after the same man, Indio. At first, they go their own ways, but eventually get together to try and find him. But are they after him for the same reason ? Eastwood (marketed as the "Man with No Name") and Van Cleef (as Colonel Douglas Mortimer and marketed as "The Man in Black") portray two bounty hunters in pursuit of "El Indio" (Volontè), one of the most wanted fugitives in the western territories, and his gang (one of whom is played by Kinski). Indio is a ruthless, intelligent man addicted to smoking cannabis. He has a musical pocketwatch that he plays whenever he wishes to kill someone. "When the chimes finish, begin," he says, and sure enough when the music stops he shoots his victim. Through flashbacks we learn that Indio's pocketwatch (and perhaps cannabis addiction) originates from a woman who killed herself while being raped by Indio. The film begins with Colonel Mortimer illegally stopping a train in Tucumcari in order to collect a bounty of $1000 on Guy Callaway. Mortimer's gunslinging is displayed as he easily kills Guy Callaway from long distance. After collecting the bounty he inquires about Red "Baby" Cavanagh who has a $2000 bounty, and was last seen in White Rocks. However he is a step behind the Man with No Name who finds Cavanagh at a saloon playing 5 card draw poker. The Man with No Name kills Cavanagh and takes the bounty. Eastwood's character is referred to by a lawman in Tucumcari as "Manco." Eventually, the two bounty hunters meet and team up to take down Indio. Gian Maria Volontè as the villain "El Indio" in For a Few Dollars More.Indio's primary goal is to rob the Bank of El Paso and its safe containing almost one million dollars. Mortimer and Manco realize that Manco must join Indio's gang during the robbery in order to "get him between two fires." Manco is offered membership in the gang after rescuing one of Indio's friends from prison. When Indio robs the bank, he brings the gang (and the money) to a small border town, where Mortimer reunites with Manco. The two plan to steal the bank money from Indio, but the bandits catch them in the act and beat them severely. Indio releases the bounty hunters and informs his gang that they "got away". The next morning, Manco and Mortimer shoot down the gang, one by one, in the streets of the town, and then finally face Indio himself. Indio shoots the gun out of Mortimer's hand and takes out his pocketwatch and begins playing it. As the chimes end, Manco appears with a pocketwatch, playing the same tune as Indio's, while holding a Winchester rifle at Indio. Mortimer looks into his pocket and finds his watch missing. "Now we start," Manco announces, and sits while Mortimer and Indio face off. During the standoff, Manco looks down at the pocketwatch and sees a picture of the woman Indio raped. The music finishes and Mortimer guns down Indio. At this juncture, Mortimer reveals that the woman in the pocketwatch is his sister. His revenge complete, he decides to take no part of the the bounty. Therefore, Manco takes it all, $27,000 worth. As he leaves, he recovers the $1,000,000 stolen from the bank of El Paso. [edit] Production After the box-office success of A Fistful of Dollars in Italy, director Sergio Leone and his new producer, Alberto Grimaldi, wanted to begin production of a sequel, but they needed to get Clint Eastwood to agree to star in it. Clint Eastwood was not ready to commit to a second film when he had not even seen the first. Quickly, the filmmakers rushed an Italian-language print (a U.S. version did not yet exist) of Per un Pugno di Dollari to him. The star then gathered a group of friends for a debut screening at CBS Production Center and, not knowing what to expect, tried to keep expectations low by downplaying the film. As the reels unspool, however, Eastwood's concerns proved to be unfounded. The audience may not have understood Italian, but in terms of style and action, the film spoke volumes. "Everybody enjoyed it just as much as if it had been in English", Eastwood recalled. Soon, he was on the phone with the filmmakers' representative: "Yeah, I'll work for that director again," he said. The film was shot in Almería, Spain, with interiors done at Rome's Cinecittà Studios. The production designer, Carlo Simi built the town of "El Paso" in the Almería desert: it still exists, as a tourist attraction. The town of Agua Caliente, where Indio and his gang flee after the bank robbery, is Albaricoces, a small "pueblo blanco" on the Nijar plain

Director: Allan Holzman. Producers: Roger Corman and Mary Ann Fisher. Jesse Vint, Dawn Dunlap, June Chadwick, Linden Chiles, Fox Harris. A genetic experiment breaks out and begins feeding on a group of scientists. A follow-up to “Galaxy of Terror,” this utilizes shots from Corman’s concurrent “Battle Beyond The Stars.” Also known as “Mutant.”

Based on the killings in the Mexican village of Ciudad Juarez, Matt Tompkins and Julio Cedillo’s The Fragility of Seconds stands to be a filmic gem — not only because it looks good (based on a small sampling of footage), but because it’s got Tompkins and Cedillo in the driver’s seat. Tompkins has gone from doing voiceover work to recently wrapping up a lead role in the upcoming, locally produced revenge flick Killing Down. Cedillo, meanwhile, has graduated from the messenger boy in The Alamo to mugging for paparazzi at the Cannes Film Festival, after his performance as the titular character in Tommy Lee Jones’ directorial debut, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.

The Fresh Air Will Do You Good tells the story of Alex and Ben's weekend getaway gone strange. The have an encounter with an alien entity that tests their friendship

For young Charlie Brewster, nothing could be better than an old horror movie late at night. Two men move in next door, and for Charlie with his horror movie experience, there can be no doubt that their strange behavior is explained by the fact that they are a vampire and his undead day guardian. The only one who can help him hunt them down is a washed-up actor, Peter Vincent, who hosts Charlie's favorite TV show, Fright Night. Vincent doesn't really believe that vampires exist, but does it for the money...
