Henry James' classic tale of terror The Turn of the Screw receives yet another screen adaptation in this thriller shot in Spain. A young woman (Sadie Frost) is hired to serve as a governess for two children, Miles and Flora (Nilo Mur and Ella Jones). She is hired by their uncle, the Master (Harvey Keitel), who became the guardian of the youngsters after the death of their parents. While the governess is initially enthusiastic about her job, Miles and Flora soon prove to be quite a handful, and the housekeeper Mrs. Grose (Lauren Bacall), who oversees most of the activities at the Master's estate, is openly antagonistic to her. Before long, the governess discovers the house bears a dark secret involving Miss Jessel (Dayne Danika), the previous governess, and Fosc (Agusti Villaronga), the Master's former valet. El Celo was the first feature from director Antoni Aloy. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The greatness continues (or something like that) in this sequel to the racy comedy Hollywood Hot Tubs. Crystal Landers (Jewel Shepard) and her mother Pamela (Remy O'Neill) are still running their successful hot tub business, and Pamela sends Crystal to night school so she can get a degree in business. Jason (Patrick Day), one of her classmates, has mastered the art of talking, dressing, and acting like a yuppie, and he volunteers to rid Crystal of some of her Valley Girl affectations so she can move ahead in the business world. Pamela finds her heart is stolen away by Prince Ahmet (Bart Braverman), an Arab who has made a killing in the oil business, while the Prince's chauffeur, Gary (David Tiefen) has his eyes on Crystal. But Gary likes Crystal just enough to warn her that the Prince isn't all he seems to be, and he has plans to take over their hot tub business. Hollywood Hot Tubs 2: Educating Crystal also features the unforgettable closing theme "Educating Crystal Rap," performed by the memorably named hip-hop outfit Whitey Got No Soul. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
