This performance of Shakespeare's The Tempest stars none other than Christopher Plummer as Prospero, a sorcerer stranded for 12 years on an island, where he suddenly gains the chance to exact revenge on those who left him there. The performance was recorded at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in 2010. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

Wasting no time after shooting his 2003 Sundance Film Festival entry The Event, director Thom Fitzgerald returned to Romania, the country that served as the setting for his 2001 Canadian-TV film Wolf Girl, for this cerebral study of commerce, camaraderie, and degradation. The Wild Dogs explores the circumstantial relationship of Geordie (played by the director) and Victor (David Hayman), two men who meet on a plane to Bucharest. Each is in the country for different reasons: Victor is a British diplomat in the city, and he and his wife Natalie (Alberta Watson) and daughter Moll (Rachel Blanchard) are among Romania's privileged class; Geordie, on the other hand, is a Canadian porn photographer sent to the country to shoot underage "talent" for his employer's website. Repulsed by the job he's been sent to accomplish, Geordie is instead captivated by the teeming masses of orphans, disfigured beggars, and the other homeless that flood Bucharest's streets. Just as he makes it his goal to help a crippled young man nicknamed "Sour Grapes" (Visinel Burcea, the spiritually-empty Natalie focuses on the dejected orphan Dorutu (Mihai Calota. Shot on digital video, the low-budget The Wild Dogs premiered at the 2002 Toronto Film Festival just a few months before the premiere of The Event. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

The troubled career of blacklisted director Herbert Biberman, who endured a considerable struggle to make the 1954 pro-Labor film Salt of the Earth, provides the centerpiece for this historical drama. The film opens at the 1937 Academy Awards, where Biberman's wife, Gale Sondergaard (Greta Scacchi), wins the first ever "Best Supporting Actress" Oscar. Although the anti-Fascist sentiment in her acceptance speech gets her labeled a "commie" by some observers, she and Biberman (played here by Jeff Goldblum) are placed under contract at Warner Bros. Ten years later, with Cold War paranoia growing, a group of predominantly Jewish Hollywood directors -- Biberman, Sondergaard, Danny Kaye, and Dalton Trumbo among them -- are labeled Communists and questioned before Congress. Refusing to name names, Biberman is thrown in prison for six months; his wife's similar refusal to testify severely threatened her career as well. After his release from prison, Biberman, no longer able to work in Hollywood, strikes out on his own with other blacklistees, producer Paul Jarrico (John Sessions) and writer Michael Wilson (Geraint Wyn Davies), to make Salt of the Earth. Biberman's production is far from easy, however, as it comes under attack from both the FBI and redneck vigilantes. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

In this tearful drama, a pediatrician's growing bond to a terminally ill child threatens to destroy her already unstable marriage. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Made for Canadian television, For Better and for Worse was released to America as Terror Stalks the Class Reunion. The general theme and tone of the film is implicit in its title. Kate Nelligan heads the cast as a retired teacher who attends a reunion in Germany. Here she is kidnapped by former student Anton (Geraint Wyn Davies), who nurses a grudge of long, long standing. The film is based on a suspense novel by Mary Higgins Clark. For Better and for Worse was first seen in the U.S. on June 12, 1992. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Cancelled by CBS at the end of its third season, the high-tech adventure series Airwolf was brought back for a fourth and final season through the good graces of the USA Network, beginning in January of 1987. As before, the series' title referred to a remarkable, futuristic helicopter, equipped with state-of-the-art accessories and a full complement of weaponry, created on behalf of a secret government agency known as the Firm, but in the control of maverick pilot String Hawke (Jan-Michael Vincent). Although he had agreed to fly death-defying missions on behalf of the Firm, String refused to return Airwolf to them until they located his brother, St. John Hawke, who'd been missing in action since Vietnam. The season begins as String climbs into Airwolf for the purpose of rescuing St. John (portrayed by new cast member Barry Van Dyke) , whose whereabouts have at long last been confirmed. During this mission, String is seriously injured, whereupon St. John becomes the head of the Airwolf team (Jan-Michael Vincent had by this time left the series). Meanwhile, String's longtime partner Dom Santini (played in previous seasons by Ernest Borgnine) has been killed in an explosion, obliging his niece Jo (Michele Scarabelli) to take over her uncle's business, Santini Aviation. Jo also becomes St. John's partner in various missions, with hotheaded Major Mike Rivers (Geraint Wyn Davies) functioning as St. John's copilot. And yes, the team continues to take orders from the Firm -- or as it is now known, the Company -- but no longer from that organization's mysterious, ethereal liaison man Michael Archangel (played by Alex Cord). Their new contact man at the Company is Jason Locke, played by Anthony Sherwood. Although the production values and budgets of the USA Network Airwolf episodes suffered in comparison with the CBS episodes (studio facilities had shifted from California to Canada), the series still delivered full entertainment and excitement value -- especially when relying upon stock aviation footage from the series' first three seasons! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
