A woman's greed wreaks havoc on those in her life in this made-for-cable movie. Madchen Amick stars as Lauren Harrington, the seemingly perfect and beautiful wife of Paul (John Lithgow). What Paul doesn't know is that Lauren set up a former boyfriend (Eric Roberts) and sent him to jail as part of a million-dollar scheme -- and he's ready for some payback. ~ Bernadette McCallion, All Movie Guide

In Miami, Ray Sharkey plays a recovering alcoholic-ex-cop/ex-con and possibly a soon-to-be-ex-husband. Upon release from the pen, he tries to go straight, but is confronted once again by the very thing that landed him inside: a Cuban drug cartel. This thriller was made for cable. ~ Kristie Hassen, All Movie Guide
Roxanne: The Prize Pulitzer was based on the best-selling 1987 autobiography of (who else?) Roxanne Pulitzer. Since both the book and the subsequent TV movie were told from Roxanne's point of view, it is to be expected that certain ego-massaging liberties would be taken with the facts behind her sensational divorce from publishing heir Herbert Pulitzer (Perry King), and Herbert's subsequent bitter child custody battle. Thus it is that Roxanne is portrayed as a wide-eyed innocent at the time of her marriage, and Pulitzer is a double-dyed dastard. Those who tuned in to see the sex and drug orgies which permeated the couple's relationship were in for a major letdown: these "hot" elements were soft-pedalled into virtual invisibility. The leading lady of Roxanne: The Prize Pulitzer is Chynna Phillips, daughter of another famous star-crossed duo, musicians John and Michelle Phillips. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the thriller Truth or Dare?, the popular schoolyard game becomes a lethal adult threat. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Movie Guide

This amateurish vampire outing -- the first foray into shot-on-video features for Cannibal Campout director Donald Farmer -- involves the gory antics of a wanton, aggressive vampiress (Mary Fanaro) who targets good-looking but generally unlikable dolts who invariably deserve what they get -- and what they get ranges from messy throat manglings to some impromptu heart surgery (after which Fanaro lasciviously paints her body with the extracted organ). This cheap, tasteless exercise is heavy on the gore but painfully lacking in nearly every other department, with a fuzzy soundtrack and photography that resembles a weekend backyard outing, complete with low-end camcorder and a thousand-watt floodlight. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
