Description

"Sling Blade" sees Billy Bob Thornton burst onto the scene, "Lone Star" tries to make Chris Cooper a star but relies on Matthew McConaughey for marketing instead, and "the Frighteners" is the beginning of the end of Michael J. Fox's movie career and the end of the beginning for Peter Jackson's directing career.
