First off people should at least use a Google search to find out what the BTK serial killer did and that he did actually exist as our friend from New Zealand failed to do. Yes, the BTK serial killer did exist this is not one of a series of films of made up serial killers from some company named BTK. Dennis Rader avoided detection and held people in fear for many years before being apprehended. He called himself BTK because he would Bind, Torture, and then Kill his victims. He operated in the Wichita, KS area United States. This film is not a blow by blow account of his misdeeds but rather an assumption of many of them blending truths with suppositions. While this film is not going to win awards it is a look into the twisted mind of a serial killer that seems to fascinate while also disgusting the observers. If serial killers are a subject of interest to you then you will find this film worthwhile, if not then you might want to pass.

Outride the Devil: A Morning with Doc Holliday
(2007 Video)
Bah, not great but not awful either
21 September 2008
A one man show with an actor giving a anecdote filled portrayal of the legendary old west figure. It was like watching a cross between a one man show and listening to Mark Twain talk which is who this guy seems to take his inspiration from.
He tells the tale of the gunslinger/dentist/gamblers life and many of the famous moments and friends he had as if he is sitting down with you and talking to you or a group of friends in person. This is filmed in front of a live audience and I am sure that they were entertained as evidenced by the chuckles at the appropriate times. Translated to film I am not so sure it plays as well but if you are in the mood to try and capture the feel of a stage play that a one man show can bring and have a couple of hours to kill you could do worse for sure.
