This Disney Channel feature film is based on the true story of female hot rod racers Erica Enders and her sister Courtney Enders. When the National Hot Rod Association begins a new children's league, eight-year-old Erica (Briana Shipley) is first in line to sign up -- only to be flatly informed that hot rodding is a "man's" sport, and that little girls should stay home with their dollies. Undaunted, and urged on by her supportive father Gregg (Jon Robert Lindstrom), Erica persists in her dream to become a champion racer, and by the time she has entered her teen years (whereupon she is played by Beverly Mitchell), the girl has handily beaten all of the local male competition, with her equally talented kid sister Courtney (Brie Larson) keeping apace in her own souped-up roadster. But the big-time national competitions are still in the future, and Erica and Courtney have yet to confront their most formidable racing rivals. The real-life Enders sisters doubled for the actresses portraying them in the hot-rodding sequences. Filmed in Salt Lake City, Right on Track made its cable TV bow on March 21, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Though no longer a 7th Heaven regular, Barry Watson makes a memorable appearance in his old role as Matt Camden in the waning moments of the series' seventh season, to accept congratulations over his impending fatherhood. In other developments, Robbie Palmer, former boyfriend of Mary Camden (Jessica Biel), has moved out of the family's garage apartment, to make way for a new tenant: Kevin Kenkirk (George Stults), the policeman beau of Lucy Camden (Beverley Mitchell). Alas, the Kevin-Lucy relationship may be foredoomed, thanks to Lucy's jealousy over Kevin's sexy policewoman partner, Roxanne Richardson (Rachel Blanchard). Meanwhile, the peripatetic Mary Camden has moved again, this time to Fort Lauderdale, where she takes up with a much older airline pilot. And back at home, Mary's brother Simon has fallen hard for longtime platonic friend Cecilia (Ashlee Simpson). The series' focus shifts from the Camden kids to their minister dad, Eric (Stephen Collins), who must undergo bypass surgery. Eric's temporary replacement at Glen Oak Church is young pastor Chandler Hampton (Jeremy London), who proves not only to be popular with the parishioners, but the "ideal" boyfriend for the redoubtable Roxanne Richardson. This leaves the field clear for Lucy and Kevin to wed -- an impending event that convinces the somewhat dispirited Eric that his services as a minister are still very much in demand. But a pall is cast over the happiness of Lucy and Kevin when Simon is involved in a devastating tragedy at season's end. Introduced in the course of events are single mom Paris Pietrowski (Shannon Kenny) and her troubled son, Peter (Scotty Leavenworth), who bonds with the youngest Camden daughter, Ruthie (Mackenzie Rosman). ~ All Movie Guide

Although 20-year-old Matt Camden (Barry Watson) had seemed to be on the verge of marriage to his deaf girlfriend, Heather (Andrea Ferrell), at the end of 7th Heaven's fourth season, season five finds the couple calling it quits. Compounding this setback, Matt is forced to move back with his parents (Stephen Collins, Catherine Hicks) when his roomie, John Hamilton (Chaz Lamar Shepherd), takes up housekeeping with his sweetheart (and later wife) Priscilla Carter (Andrea Pearson). Matt's sister Mary (Jessica Biel) continues having trouble adjusting to the pressures of impending adulthood: in short order, Mary drops out of school, quits her job, runs out of money and develops such nasty habits as drinking and petty theft. Like Matt, Mary eventually returns to her parent's home, but the reunion is an uncomfortable one thanks to the omnipresence of her ex-boyfriend Robbie (Adam LaVorgna) -- not to mention her erstwhile beau Wilson (Andrew Keegan). Meanwhile, Matt and Mary's sister, Lucy (Beverley Mitchell), now 16, has become so serious about one of her boyfriends that she ends up proposing to him! Season five ends with a serious rift between Mary and Lucy over the affections of the younger girl's fiancé, Jeremy (David Lago). ~ All Movie Guide

Season two of 7th Heaven ended with Annie Camden (Catherine Hicks) informing one and all that she was pregnant. Season three begins as Annie learns she is to give birth to twins -- who in typical TV-series fashion ultimately arrive amidst much chaos and confusion, just in time for Valentine's Day. (At first, twins Sam and David Camden were played by real-life quadruplets Nikolas, Lorenzo, Zachary, and Myrinda Brino; after two seasons, only Nikolas and Lorenzo would continue on with the roles.) In other developments, Annie's widowed father, Charles Jackson (Graham Jarvis), weds his longtime girlfriend, Ginger (Beverly Garland); 18-year-old Matt Camden (Barry Watson) is kept busy with Shauna (Maureen O'Sullivan), an old flame who has come back into his life; and 14-year-old Lucy Camden (Beverley Mitchell) has accumulated two new beaux, Rod (Toran Caudell) and Jordan (Wade Carpenter). The season's two-part finale finds Matt getting depressed over the wedding of his onetime sweetheart Heather (Andrea Ferrell); younger Camden son Simon (David Gallagher) undergoing his first love pangs, with Deena Stewart (Nicole Cherie Saletta) as the object of his very ardent affections; and there is news of yet another pregnancy in the family. ~ All Movie Guide

It is said that when a man dies wrongfully, a crow may bring him back to life to seek vengeance upon his killer. Like the first Crow, this revenge saga is set in a fantastical urban nightmare and is based upon the dark comic book stories of artist James O. Barr. The first film was set in a horrifying Detroit. The second is set in a similar version of Los Angeles. This time, the crow flies on behalf of Ashe, a motorcycle mechanic who was murdered along with his young son after they have witnessed a murder. After rising from the dead, Ashe dons the traditional black garb and funereal white pancake make-up that marks the crow's chosen one. While getting his violent revenge, Ashe is befriended by Sarah, a tattoo expert with great knowledge of the crow legend. Together, they defeat the vile criminals Curve and Kali. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

One of the most atypical weekly series to emerge from the Aaron Spelling TV factory, 7th Heaven, created by Spelling and Brenda Hampton, has eschewed the sex-and-sin shenanigans of such series as Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place in favor of honest, three-dimensional family values, with generous doses of warmth, heart, humor, and pathos. There can be no doubt that this fundamentally wholesome program has struck a universal chord. The series has not only been lavishly praised by critics, honored by such organizations as the Parents Television Council, the Academy of Religious Broadcasting, and the Anti-Defamation League, and given innumerable industry awards, but it is also one of the most successful offerings of the WB network; indeed, it was the first WB series to run more than seven seasons, and during four of those seasons, it was the network's highest-rated show. Set in the suburban L.A. community of Glen Oak, the series revolves around the Camden family, headed by Eric Camden (Stephen Collins), pastor of the town's Community Church, and Eric's homemaker wife, Annie (Catherine Hicks). In the tradition of The Waltons, loyal 7th Heaven viewers have enjoyed the rare privilege of watching the Camden children grow up before their very eyes. When the series debuted on August 26, 1996, handsome and personable Matt Camden (Barry Watson) was 17 years old; basketball-playing Mary Camden (Jessica Biel) was 13 going on 14; intellectual, inquisitive Lucy Camden (Beverley Mitchell) was 12; happy-go-lucky Simon Camden (David Gallagher) was ten; and precocious Ruthie Camden (Mackenzie Rosman) was five. By the time the series entered its eighth season, the three oldest Camden kids were married and pursuing careers, while the two youngest were seasoned veterans of the school dating scene. (Two more Camden youngsters, twin boys Sam and David, were born halfway through the 1998-1999 season). All of the Camdens, parents included, have had more than their share of setbacks and tragedies (some of them absolutely devastating) as the series has rolled forward, but somehow all of the members of the clan, from patriarch Eric on down, have been able to recover, rally, and persevere with the help and support of their family and friends -- not to mention their inner faith. And unlike so many other TV series which traffic in personal interrelationships, the characters in 7th Heaven are very much a part of the "real" world. During its lengthy WB run, the series has exposed its principals to a wide variety of contemporary issues: teen suicide, racial prejudice, substance abuse, drunken driving, homelessness, negative peer pressure, teen pregnancy, Alzheimer's disease, the Holocaust, the war in Iraq, and the crisis in the Sudan. Eminently suitable for viewers of all ages, but never a mere sop to the "kiddie" trade nor a placebo for the clean-up-TV brigades, 7th Heaven has been and will likely always remain the jewel in the WB crown. ~ All Movie Guide

In this suspense thriller, Albert (John Savage) is a psychopath who, after brutally murdering a woman, becomes obsessed with her 11-year-old daughter Annie. Twenty-one years after being sent to prison for his crimes, Albert is freed over the strenuous objections of Dr. Sachs (John Saxon), the psychiatrist who has been overseeing Albert's case all these years. Sachs is convinced that Albert is still a very real threat to the community, and it turns out that he's right; desperate to find Annie, but not knowing what surname she uses today, Albert begins contacting every Annie he can find in the phone book, leaving a bloody trail of murdered women in his path when they turn out not to be the little girl he's looking for. The supporting cast includes Bobby DiCicco, Hank Cheyne, Hyapatia Lee, and Beverley Mitchell as Annie. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Developed by Tina Sinatra and approved by Frank himself, Sinatra is a made-for-television mini-series following the life and times of Frank Sinatra, one of the most popular and acclaimed singers of the 20th century. Opening with his childhood in Hoboken, New Jersey, the film follows Sinatra's (Philip Casnoff) rise to the top in the '40s, through the dark days of the early '50s and his triumphant re-emergence in the mid-'50s, to his status as pop culture icon in the '60s, '70s and '80s. In between, the film hits all of the main events, including his three marriages, his connections with the Mafia and his notorious friendship with the Rat Pack. Even with the presence of Tina Sinatra as executive producer, Sinatra doesn't gloss over the more unsavory portions of Frank's life, which makes it all the more impressive. With the exception of a couple of early songs, all the music in the movie is taken from the original Sinatra recordings. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide
