Doug Funnie and his friends from Bluffington make the leap from TV to the big screen in the animated comedy Doug's 1st Movie, based on the long-running children's series. Doug (voiced by Thomas McHugh) is a good-natured 12-year-old who is chronically infatuated with his classmate Patti Mayonnaise (voiced by Constance Shulman). Doug's best friend Skeeter (voiced by Fred Newman) is convinced there's a monster in Bluffington's Lucky Duck Lake. Surprisingly enough, it turns out Skeeter is right -- pollutants dumped in the lake by cranky factory owner Bill Bluff (voiced by Doug Preis) have spawned a large but thankfully friendly beast Doug and Skeeter name Herman Melville. Doug and Skeeter both want to protect Herman -- Doug so he can look cool in front of Patti, and Skeeter so he can prove the damage Bluff is doing to the environment -- but that isn't so simple when Bluff sends his hired guns to track down the monster. Doug creator Jim Jenkins served as co-producer for this film adaptation, which like the TV series was created by the Jumbo Pictures studios. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Amazingly, Season Eight of Law & Order begins with the cast from Season Seven intact, with no additions or deletions. The case at hand: the murder of a pizza delivery man, which the detectives believe was deliberate and not a random shooting. As it turns out, the dead man was the victim of a thrill killing committed by a pair of teenagers (Rob McElhenney, Michael Marrona). Complications: Each teen blames the other for the murder, an eyewitness saw only one of the boys pulling the trigger, and the key clue is the recording of a Confessional -- which cannot be admitted as evidence. In the course of events, detective Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) receives some bad news. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This brutal biopic tells the blood-soaked tale of how Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll rose to become one of the most ruthless, powerful gangsters of the 1920s. Mad Dog Coll was shot simultaneously with Hit the Dutchman with Moscow locations substituting for New York. Both films basically used the same American cast and Russian crew. In the US, Mad Dog Coll was released straight to video as Killer Instinct. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Robert Logan stars in still another of his many independently produced films designed for the family-matinee crowd. Logan plays Travis, the father of two young girls Courtney and Samantha (Heather Rattray and Shannon Saylor), all of whom set off from Tahiti on a perilous round-the-world sailboat trip. The journalist assigned to cover the voyage is Kelly (Mikki Jamison-Olsen), an attractive with whom Travis falls in love. The fifth member of the sailing party is youthful stowaway Jesse (Cjon Damitri Patterson). When the group is shipwrecked off the Alaskan coast, the film metamorphoses into one of those "Wilderness Family" adventures guaranteed to thrill both children and adults. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
