After a meteor shower streaks through the Milky Way, a brown dwarf with heavy gravitational pull crashes on the moon, causing the lunar body to change its orbit and head straight toward Earth on a deadly collision course.

James Cromwell and Steven Culp co-star. ~ All Movie Guide

Although the made-for-cable drama Widow on the Hill was based on a true story, the film bears a strong resemblance to the 1947 Joan Crawford theatrical feature Possessed. Natasha Henstridge stars as Linda Dupree, an ambitious hospice nurse who marries Hank Cavanaugh (James Brolin), the very wealthy widower of one of Linda's former patients. Hank enrages his grown daughters by quickly installing Linda in the family's luxurious Virginia mansion, and even more so when he gives his new wife the most precious possessions of his former spouse. Not long afterward, Hank himself falls seriously ill and dies, leaving Linda one of the richest women in Virginia -- and also arousing suspicions that she not only knocked off Hank, but his first wife as well! More questions than answers are offered in this heavy-breathing melodrama, which made its Lifetime network debut on January 24, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

There's been a change of management for criminals-turned-espionage agents Cassie (Natasha Henstridge), D.D. (Kristen Miller) and Shane (Natashia Phillips) as the seriocomic action series She Spies enters its second season. Jack Wilde, the ladies' chucklesome former supervisor at the Bureau of Allied Intelligence Tactics (B.A.I.T.), is gone, replaced by the more sobersided--and more sinister--Quentin Cross (Cameron Daddo). Also, our heroines are now supplied with their high-tech hardware by technogeek Duncan Baleu (Jamie Iglehart), an MIT dropout who has trouble hiding his moony-eyed adoration for the She Spies. Finally, "The Chairman" the much-talked-about but hitherto unseen top man at B.A.I.T., finally appears in the form of actor Bruce Boxleitner)--only to be summarily killed off a few episodes later! In this season's escapades, the girls must protect an abrasive pop star from kidnappers; they go undercover at a dating service; they are abducted by terrorists along with the entire cast and crew of a "reality" TV series; Cassie "celebrates" her birthday by trying to remove a bomb necklace that has been welded around her neck; Shane makes moves indicating that she will soon betray her cohorts, and is later injected with a drug that wipes out her memory; and all three ladies find themselves marooned on a desert island--with virtually nothing to wear, of course! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Charlie's Angels meets It Takes a Thief as three gorgeous female career criminals work off their sentences as secret agents for the Bureau of Allied Intelligence Tactics (B.A.I.T.) in Season One of the "kidding on the square" action series She Spies. For their first assignment, computer-hacker D.D. (Kristen Miller), con artist Cassie (Natasha Henstridge) and pugnacious Shane (Natashia Williams) must save a Jerry Springer type from being murdered right in the middle of his talk show. The ladies subsequently target a disreputable fashion house, a phony charity scam, a fake cryogenics racket, and a band of deadly Icelandic (!) spies! They also show their oft-hidden tender side as they babysit the son of an illegal arms dealer and steer a troubled teenager onto the right path in life. And in one installment, our heroines reminisce about the "good old days" of larceny as they await slow death from a poisoned frog. Throughout, the trio is (sort of) supervised by B.A.I.T. operative Jack Wilde (Carlos Jacott), whom they regard as a feckless buffoon (small wonder that Jack has left the service by season's end!) The first three episodes of She Spies were originally networkcast on NBC; thereafter, the show was confined to first-run syndication. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Writer and director John Carpenter returns to the mixture of science fiction and horror that made The Thing (1982) a success. Natasha Henstridge stars as Lt. Melanie Ballard of the Martian Police Force, a member of a law enforcement team two centuries in the future, dispatched to the remote colony of Shining Canyon. There, the most notorious criminal on Mars, James "Desolation" Williams (Ice Cube), awaits transport to a more secure jail. Besides Ballard, the other cops include the rookie Bashira (Clea Duvall), hotshot and fast talker Jericho (Jason Statham), tough veteran and squad leader Helena (Pam Grier), and reliable soldier Descanso (Liam Waite). Once Ballard and her companions arrive in Shining Canyon, however, they discover that it's a literal ghost town. It seems that an archaeologist team led by Professor Whitlock (Joanna Cassidy) has uncovered an ancient relic at a nearby dig site, unleashing the vengeful spirits of the planet's long-ago warrior inhabitants, which have now possessed the bodies of the human invaders and set about trying to destroy them. After her team is decimated by the Martian specters, Ballard is forced to turn for help to the one person she can't really trust: Williams. Ghosts of Mars screenwriter Larry Sulkis broke into the film business as producer of the satirical commercials in Carpenter's They Live (1988). ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

This 2000 production recounts a famous tale from Greek mythology: the quest for the Golden Fleece. The film begins when the evil Pelias (Dennis Hopper) usurps the throne of his half-brother, Aeson, king of the Greek city of Iolcus, after murdering Aeson and marrying his wife, Polymele (Diana Kent). Aeson's child, Jason (Mickey Churchill), escapes but returns years later as a young man (Jason London) to see his mother, Polymele, and claim his royal patrimony. Pelias then threatens to kill Polymele unless Jason brings him the Golden Fleece. Made of the skull, horns, and gilded wool of a winged ram, the fleece affords protection and prosperity to the kingdom that possesses it. It hangs from a tree on sacred ground in the Black Sea port of Colchis, where an unsleeping dragon protects it. After Jason agrees to undertake a perilous ocean voyage to retrieve it, he assembles a crew that includes the mighty Hercules (Brian Thompson) and the musician Orpheus (Adrian Lester). On the long ocean voyage aboard his ship, the Argo, Jason overcomes many perils -- passing through clashing rocks and fighting deadly Harpies -- while the gods Zeus and Hera observe from the heavens and occasionally meddle in Jason's exploits. At Colchis, the King Aertes (Frank Langella) forbids Jason to carry off the fleece, for it has long protected and sustained his realm. But he relents upon learning that the gods favor the youth. However, Jason must first prove himself by yoking a fire-breathing bull. With the help of the king's daughter, Medea (Jolene Blalock), a sorceress smitten with love for him, Jason succeeds, survives further tests, kills the dragon, and returns with the fleece -- and Medea. But in Iolcus, Pelias gains control of the fleece, then sends 200 soldiers to kill Jason and his crew. Thus, Jason faces still another trial. His fate and the fates of Media, Pelias, and all of Iolcus depend on how he responds. ~ Mike Cummings, All Movie Guide

In the science-fiction thriller Species (1995), Natasha Hentsridge appeared as the beautiful but deadly Sil, a human-alien DNA combo. In this sequel, Hentsridge portrays Eve, a government experiment concocted to gain an understanding of how to combat future aliens, while Michael Madsen and Marg Helgenberger repeat their roles from the earlier film. When astronaut Patrick Ross (Justin Lazard) returns from the first manned Mars expedition, he's infected with the same DNA that spawned Sil and Eve. Hailed as a hero, Ross is pressed into politics by his father (James Cromwell), a senator. Any woman who beds the sexually active Ross is immediately impregnated, with embryos quickly developing and killing the mother. Ross hides the offspring on a family estate, as LA cops begin to detect a pattern in the female deaths. At the lab where scientists are monitoring Eve, Dr. Laura Baker (Helgenberger) realizes that Eve has a telepathic link with Ross, and that these two hybrids hope to couple. Press Lennox (Madsen) and Colonel Burgess (George Dzundza) figure Eve can be used to lead them to Ross. Cleared as a murder suspect, Mars mission astronaut Dennis Gamble (Mykelti Williamson), joins Lennox and Baker and gets in on the action as everyone involved closes in on Ross. Richard Belzer does a cameo as the President of the U.S., while Peter Boyle makes an uncredited appearance as a scientist. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Alain Moreau (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is a French cop whose colleagues make a startling discovery -- a man named Mikhail, who was killed in a high-speed chase with police, looks exactly like him. Curious about the stranger with his face, Alain is told by his mother Chantal (Stephane Audran) that Mikhail was in fact his twin brother, whom her poor family was forced to give up at birth. Alain wants to know more about the brother he never knew, but the more he learns the more troubling the news becomes; it seems that Mikhail was involved with gangsters, corrupt FBI agents, and a gang of drug dealers. In order to avenge his brother's death and get to the bottom of his sad story, Alain assumes Mikhail's identity and travels to New York City, where to maintain his cover he takes up with Alex Minetti (Natasha Henstridge), Mikhail's tough-as-nails girlfriend, before finding himself hip-deep in danger with Mikhail's associates. Maximum Risk was the first American film from noted Hong Kong action director Ringo Lam, whose City on Fire has often been cited as a key inspiration for Reservoir Dogs. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
