Crazy In Alabama (1999) *

Directed by Antonio Banderas. With Melanie Griffith, Meat Loaf and David Morse. Griffith stars in a bizarre road movie/black comedy as a crazy Southern belle who kills her husband, packs his head in a hat box and finds fame and fortune in Hollywood. Meat Loaf co-stars in a political drama as a brutal redneck sheriff from Alabama who kills a black Civil Rights protester. Apparently, some drunken Hollywood screenwriter thought it would be funny to juxtapose these two very different stories in a single movie, creating a truly mind-boggling mishmash.
