...tradition of director Richard Linklater's so-ridiculous-that-you-have-to-laugh movies (Dazed and Confused, SubUrbia), The Newton Boys robs money not just from banks, but from moviegoers. Set in the bootlegging world of the 1920s, the Newton Boys (Matthew McConaughey, Vincent D'Onofrio, Ethan Hawke and Skeet Ulrich) are America's most successful bank robbers, and are portrayed as sweet, Southern-drawling teenage heartthrobs. Making a mockery out of the real event, this film persuades moviegoers to fall in love with all those chiseled faces and to forget the fact that their success was made in robbery...
...Fiorentino), who keeps discovering strange corpses in the morgue only to be neuralyzed by Jones. The aliens themselves aren't especially original: most of them seem lifted from "Star Wars," and not enough is done with the concept of aliens in human disguise. The one exception is Vincent d'Onofrio, who demonstrates an unusual knack for phusical comedy (and an impressive makeup job) in playing the Bug disguised in Edgar's (decaying) skin.

Her first miscarried child seems to possess a chicken's wings. Why? Because she walked into the butcher's shop while Joseph slaughtered a turkey...
...Annabella Sciorrabrings the same warmth and sweetness to Lee thatshe has to past roles, and Matt Dillon gives afine performance in what is one of his first trueleading roles. Mary Louise Parker also gives agood turn as Gus' wistful and weepy girlfriend,who almost makes their relationship work. VincentD'Onofrio is especially good as Lee's nearlysuccessful match. Maybe Lee gives up because ofhis oh-so-romantic croons like, "I'm completelygaga over you." The film wastes so much time ongimmicky matchmaking and extraneous scenes thateven the inevitable finale seems forced...
...Charge of Abusing Writers at a Hollywood studio. He knows the game, and his bosses know he knows it; he is, in the parlance, a player. And when Mill receives threatening notes from one of his writers, he can play rough. He tracks down a suspect (Vincent D'Onofrio) and puts him in turnaround. He immediately woos the writer's tawny girlfriend (Greta Scacchi) and dumps his own. No screaming, no remorse. Business...
