Michael Schultz, the director of such influential films as COOLEY HIGH, CAR WASH, THE LAST DRAGON, and KRUSH GROOVE, returns to the big screen for the first time in more than a decade with the career-redefining WOMAN, THOU ART LOOSED. Based on the work and writings of Bishop T.D. Jakes, this powerful drama stars Kimberly Elise as Michelle Jordan, a young woman on death row explaining her life to Jakes, who plays himself in the film. Schultz cuts between the past and the present as Michelle relates the abuse she suffered at the hands of Reggie (Clifton Powell), her mother`s (Loretta Devine) longtime boyfriend. Michelle had earned an early release from prison for previous crimes and was reconnecting with an old love (Michael Boatman), but she quickly ended up back in jail after pulling out a gun and firing during a revival meeting headed by Jakes. Elise is magnificent in the lead role, filled with anger, hate, confusion, and tenderness, sometimes all at once. Schultz, best known for his music-heavy comedies, shows a deft touch with very sensitive subjects, exploring the power of prayer, rehabilitation, family responsibility, enduring friendship, drug addiction, and the prison system. Elise is unforgettable as the conflicted Michelle, a woman who has never known true love. Jakes is a gentle giant playing a fictional version of himself, both talking softly to Michelle in prison and preaching magnificently at the West Angeles revival meeting, backed by a wonderful choir. Schultz has reached a whole new plateau with this searing, surprising film that deserves a large audience.

This unusual gem of a film is a gorgeously conceived and well-executed morality tale, narrated by a gory, blood-smeared, dying fish. This choice of a narrator may seem bizarre, and is certainly unusual, but somehow it works perfectly in the film--it creates a gothic fairy tale atmosphere, and adds a dash of humor to what is a difficult, grim story. The film begins with a graphic scene of the heroine, Bibi (Marie-Josee Croze), getting an abortion. Bibi's guilt feelings are multiplied tenfold when on a rainy night soon thereafter, she accidentally hits a man and drives off, leaving him to die. Her sophisticated life as the successful owner of a chic boutique and heiress of a famous father's fortune begins to swiftly and spectacularly unravel.After she survives a suicide attempt, Bibi's guilt has still not been alleviated, and she decides to track down the body of the man she killed.
At the morgue, she runs into the dead man's son, who asks her to stay with him while he sorts through his father's possessions. The son ends up falling in love with Bibi, but she remains consumed with guilt over what is now her terrible secret. All of the film's acting, but especially the difficult part of Bibi, is done with beauty and sensitivity. The film's lush photography at times hearkens back to director Villeneuve's music video work, but its stylish quality always serves the story's needs. This poetic tale of moral responsibility and despair is a uniquely haunting, must-see film.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAudio: Dolby Digital Stereo - English

When Michael's seven-year-old son is caught in the crossfire of a mishandled drug transaction, he is devastated.

He decides to take matters into his own hands, intentionally getting himself arrested so he can join the killers behind bars and mete out his own brand of punishment. Once there, however, he has much more to contend with in the world of prison law, which is ruled by no law at all.LOCKDOWN: In John Luessenhop's directorial debut, three friends (Richard T.
