Shotgun Stories (Liberation Entertainment, 2007) Although! it won acclaim at festivals and had Roger Ebert singing its praises, this movie's theatrical release peaked at four screens. OK, it's not what you'd call a commercial movie, but it deserved better than that. It's about a family feud in a little farming town in Arkansas. A man who deserted his wife and three sons (Family A) for another woman, with whom he had four more sons (Family B), has died. The Family A sons show up at the funeral to denounce the deceased, angering the Family B sons, who swear revenge. Violence ensues. But this is no shoot-'em-up.
