Step up for a pulverizing Aussie crime drama that cuts to the dark heart of the killing machine known as family. Jacki Weaver sets the screen ablaze as Smurf, the bottle-blond mom from hell. Smurf's three sons, Pope (Ben Mendelsohn), Craig (Sullivan Stapleton) and Darren (Luke Ford), all do her murderous bidding. Now grandson Joshua (James Frecheville) slips into Smurf's corrupting fold. A good cop (Guy Pearce) goes up against Smurf's maternal malevolence. Fat chance. Writer-director David Michôd catches you in a vise and squeezes — hard.

“Everyday People”

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
