DESCRIPTION:Friday, 9/19\n\n7:00 PM - Admission: $5.00\n\nLocation: 600 4th St, West 
 Sacramento (corner of 4th & F in West Sac).\n\nFreeway\n\nThis 1996 
 low-budget black comedy indie from Executive Producer Oliver Stone features 
 Reese Witherspoon as the nearly illiterate Vanessa who flees her 
 crack-addicted prostitute mother (Amanda Plummer) and abusive stepfather 
 (Michael T. Weiss) in search of her grandmother. Yep, it’s Little Red 
 Riding Hood all over again, but this time around, the Wolf is a lot worse. 
 When Vanessa’s car breaks down, she’s picked up by youth counselor Bob 
 Wolverton (Keifer Sutherland) who turns out to be the serial killer known 
 as the I-5 Murderer. Vanessa violently turns the tables on him and 
 continues on her way to grandma’s house (or rather, trailer park). A side 
 trip into the criminal justice system ensues along the way and finally 
 culminates in a violent climax. Simultaneously funny, chilling and at times 
 disturbing, Freeway is an odd and unique presentation of our culture of 
 violence. While not really gory, this is also not necessarily for the weak 
 of stomach. Also with Brooke Shields, Brittany Murphy and Dan Hedaya. 
 Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 1996 Sundance Film 
 Festival.\n\n"Freeway'' illuminates our secret appetites. Like all good 
 satire, it starts where the others end. And its actors wisely never ever 
 act as if they're in on the joke. Like it or hate it (or both), you have to 
 admire its skill - Roger Ebert\n\n"Freeway" is rude in the way the truth is 
 rude - only funnier. The movie seduces with its humor, all the while 
 presenting a realized vision of a harsh, absurd world. Has wit and 
 complexity. -- San Francisco Chronicle\n\nWith one foot in the grind house 
 and one in the art house, the smarts in "Freeway" are more than equal to 
 its visceral kick. The most impressive debut film I've seen all year. --
