A wealthy industrialist in search of a tax break finds himself at the mercy of a deranged scientist in this surreal comic thriller from Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell. While his overwhelming greed and hawkish business sensibilities have helped to ensure pharmaceutical CEO William Cole (Campbell) a fairly comfortable existence, that doesn't stop the money-minded businessman from traveling to Bravoda with his trophy wife, Jackie (Antoinette Byron), in a bid to diversify his company's holdings. As William heads out to meet with city officials and Jackie gets better acquainted with handsome chauffeur Yegor (Vladimir Kolev), Dr. Ivan Ivanov (Stacy Keach) and his hip-hopping assistant Pavel (Ted Raimi) come close to completing an experiment that may revolutionize organ transplants. When an unfortunate encounter with obsessive hotel maid Tatoya (Tamara Gorski) finds William, Yegor, and Jackie all taken under the care of Dr. Ivanov, a series of transplant surgeries result in both William and Yegor sharing William's body and Jackie's brain being transferred into a break-dancing robot. Now, if William ever has any hope of getting his head back to himself, he and Yegor must use their combined knowledge to hit the streets to find the woman responsible for their deaths. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Based on Casual Rex, one of a series of lighthearted fantasy novels by Eric Garcia, the made-for-cable Anonymous Rex would have us believe that not all dinosaurs were rendered exinct 65 million years ago. The survivors dinos had gone into hiding, gradually re-emerging in human form courtesy of a special holographic process. In fact, one out of every ten thousand "humans" is actually a well-assimilated dinosaur, and among these are a pair of private eyes: Ernie Watson (Daniel Baldwin) and Vincent Rubio (Sam Trammell), respectively a raptor and a triceratops. Hired to investigate the "accidental" death of the son of one of Ernie's old girlfriends, the two lizardy gumshoes stumble upon a cult called the Voice of Progress, comprised of fanatical dinosaurs who want to wipe out all humans and take over the world. Things take a serious turn when one of the two detectives is killed, and Ernie's daughter Gabrielle (Stephanie Nicole Lemelin) is kidnapped. Although the special effects are nothing to write home about, the film scores with its wry, knowing humor, likening the plight of the disguised dinos to those people in real life who must "pass" as something they're not (there's even a scene at a nocturnal dino club which looks more like a reptilian gay bar). Anonymous Rex debuted December 4, 2004 on the Sci-Fi Channel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

After watching Cordelia's jaw-droppingly bad stage premier, Angel (David Boreanaz) and Wesley (Alexis Denisof) do what they can to say nice things. On the street, Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) spots famous agent Oliver Simon (Michael Mantell) escorting his soap-star client, Rebecca Lowell (Tamara Gorski). When a car nearly runs Rebecca over, Angel saves her. The next day, she enlists Angel's help in protecting her from a stalker. Torn by nascent romantic feelings for her, Angel declines, then ends up becoming her bodyguard anyway. But it turns out that Rebecca is looking for more than protection -- she wants eternal youth. Originally broadcast April 4, 2000, on the WB network, "Eternity" marked season one, episode 17 of the supernatural comedy drama. Michael Mantell previously appeared (uncredited) in "City of Angels"; his pushy agent character offered Angel an acting gig, which the vampire hero politely declined. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

As indicated by its title, this episode is a partial homage to Casablanca, especially the scenes wherein Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) and Morrigan (Tamara Gorski) lose their chance for romance during a lengthy flashback. The substance of the story, however, involves the Oracle of Cyprus (Alison Quigan), who has gloomily predicted her own death. Setting the tale in motion is the sudden appearance of a young woman named Havisha (Simone Kessell), who has apparently been revived from the dead for the express purpose of committing murder. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

While the demonic Dahak (Michael Hurst) is temporarily rendered helpless by the Gem of Creation, Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) feverishly tries to exorcise the soul of his departed friend Iolaus (also Michael Hurst). Meanwhile, god of war Ares (Kevin Smith), newly transformed into a powerless mortal, is being hotly pursued by Dahak's disciples. Suffice to say that the outcome of the story hinges on Ares' rescue -- by his two worst enemies, Hercules and Morrigan (Tamara Gorski). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this comic episode set in "the present," the production team responsible for the weekly series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys -- whose members bear striking resemblances to the series' principal characters -- are threatened with unemployment by studio boss Hollinshoffer (Robert Trebor) unless they can come up with some fresh new story ideas. Hoping to work in atmosphere of peace and quiet, the staff heads to Camp Wannachuck, a summer retreat presided over by perky counselor Sunny Day (Renee O'Connor) and the less-than-perky (and appropriately named) Norma Bates (Tamara Gorski). Before long, however, the production team is plagued by a series of murder attempts, and it falls to Kevin Sorbo, the actor who stars as Hercules (or is he the genuine article?) to save the day -- and to supply the staff with enough storylines to last them at least another season-and-a-half. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) and Nebula (Gina Torres) arrive in Corinth searching for the Gem of Creation. The gem has the power to hold the demonic Dahak (Michael Hurst) immobile from sunrise to sunset -- and this may be the only hope for releasing the soul of Hercules' deceased friend, Iolaus (also Michael Hurst), from the villain's grasp. Making Hercules' task all the more difficult is the fact that Dahak is passing himself off as the Messiah of Corinth and as such enjoys the full protection of the populace. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The scene is Brittania in the Middle Ages. To teach the despotic warlord Arthur of Camelot (Neill Rea) to mend his ways, Merlin the magician (Norman Forsey) sends him back 1,000 years in time. Here, the young Arthur recruits Hercules (Kevin Sorbo), who has likewise been transported to ancient Brittania by Merlin. Unfortunately, also on hand is Arthur's evil advisor, the sorceress Mab (Sara Wiseman), who is not about to relinquish her control over the "one and future king." Need it be added that the Sword Excalibur figures prominently into the outcome of the story? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The demonic Dahak (Michael Hurst) invades Eire and slays all the island's Druids. Managing to escape this carnage, Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) and Druidic demigod Morrigan (Tamara Gorski) head to Sumeria, following Hercules' premonition that Princess Nebula (Gina Torres) is in great danger. Upon arrival, Hercules is astonished to find that his deceased friend Iolaus has returned to life -- but this is merely an illusion orchestrated by Dahak. The climax finds Hercules making two momentous decisions that will affect both his future and the future of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Accepting his designation as "the chosen one," Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) agrees to defend Eire against the invading Julius Caesar (Karl Urban) -- who is already reeling from previous encounters with our hero's female counterpart, Xena the warrior princess. At the same time, Hercules endeavors to reform the surly demigod Morrigan (Tamara Gorski) so that she can properly exercise her duties as the new Druid of Justice. Unfortunately, the evil Celtic god Kernunnos (Stuart Devenie) refuses to relinquish his control over Morrigan -- and even worse, he holds her daughter, Brigid (Benedicta Joseph), as hostage. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the first episode of a two-part story, Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) is guided to Asgard by a disturbing dream. Upon his arrival, Hercules tangles with Norse god Thor (Ben Reed), who at first considers the Greek visitor as his enemy. Ultimately the two immortals combine their powers to prevent the death of Baldur (Rupert Cocks) and thereby avoid the prophecy that Asgard -- and the rest of the world -- will be plunged into Rangnarok (aka "The End of All Things"). Unfortunately, Norse god of mischief Loki (Ian Hughes) messes things up. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Arriving on the island of Eire, Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) is lauded as "The Chosen One" by the Celts. This does not rest well with the despotic Druids, who want to maintain their supernatural hold over the people. Likewise, Hercules himself balks at being selected to lead the Celts until circumstances make him reconsider. Tamara Gorski makes her first appearance as the demigod Morrigan, who, in her avaricious efforts to take charge of the Druids, experiences quite an Epiphany. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ato Essandoh and Ted Raimi star in this deep space sci-fi adventure about a malevolent race of aliens seeking to propagate their violent ways by sparking an intergalactic war. It's been eons since the dreaded Kluduthu race succeeded in starting the war that would help their race to thrive, and now the time has come to begin the vicious cycle once again. Though Kluduthu leader Harkness (Essandoh) gets things off to a promising start by propagating rumors that the Terrans have been attacking peaceful Andromedean citizens, in order to truly set his plan into motion he will need to transform a Bloodmask into a Kluduthu. The Bloodmasks are an ancient race of chameleon-like humanoids that could hold the key to universal peace, and when Harkness locates one lone Bloodmask named Aurora on the distant planet of Cassiopeia Prime, the plans for an intergalactic massacre slowly begin to form. Though Aurora remains blissfully unaware of her unique powers, she will soon learn just how important she is to the safety of the universe thanks to a little assistance from an eccentric scientist (Raimi) who possesses valuable knowledge about the history of her race. If Aurora can somehow manage to prevent the evil Harkness from using her as the ultimate biological weapon, there may still be hope that the power of peace can overcome the horror of war. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Photographer Gage Sullivan (Doherty) is first seen driving down a dark road in a car and stopping to bury some bloody clothes. At a motel, tow FBI agents capture her and question her about the clothes. She tells her story in flashback. Gage works for a tabloid called "Celebrity Scandal" and finds herself the target of a camera-wielding stalker. On the advice of her assistant, Casey (Tamara Gorski), Gage hires a "guardian angel" Nick Angel (Joseph Griffin), of Angel Security. Of course, Nick is devastatingly handsome, and very good at his job. Nick sets Gage up with a new identity as "Julie Summerfield," but their every move is being watched by the stalker, who wears a bad wig and chews bubblegum. While Nick and Gage are out getting acquainted, Casey lets in the wrong pizza boy, who kidnaps her and sends Gage photos of the beaten assistant floating in a bathtub, apparently dead. Now Gage is mad, and hires a psycho hit man named Murray the Badger (Aidan Devine) to kill the stalker. Nick doesn't trust the Badger, with good reason -- he wears a bad wig and blows bubblegum. Badger waylays Nick but lets Gage get away, and the film comes back to the motel where it started. The flashback is over, but there's another 40 minutes of movie to go, as Gage makes some shocking revelations and learns that she's at the center of a very clever plot, then sets out to turn the tables on the bad guys. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Meanwhile, on the outside, John files multiple appeals while struggling to raise their children and maintain his career.

Lots of people have misgiving about their in-laws, but in this offbeat comedy, a man discovers that his new son-in-law's father is significantly stranger than he's able to deal with. Jerry Peyser (Albert Brooks) is a well-meaning but slightly anal-retentive podiatrist who doesn't much care for surprises in his life. When his daughter Melissa (Lindsay Sloane) announces she's going to marry her boyfriend, Mark Tobias (Ryan Reynolds), Jerry figures that helping his wife plan the wedding and getting through the ceremony is as much excitement as he needs or wants. However, when Jerry and his wife, Katherine (Maria Ricossa), meet Mark's father for the first time, Steve Tobias (Michael Douglas) ends up taking Jerry on the ride of his life. Both Mark and Steve's ex-wife, Judy (Candice Bergen), seem to have a decidedly ambivalent attitude about Steve, and Jerry finds out why -- Steve is actually an undercover agent for the CIA. In the guise of doing Steve a favor, Jerry gets dragged into a strange and dangerous episode involving international arms dealers, French super-villains, heavily armed men's room attendants, and a stolen private jet belonging to Barbra Streisand, as well as several less-than-pleasant encounters with Angela (Robin Tunney), Steve's colleague in espionage who doesn't trust Jerry. The In-Laws was adapted from the memorable 1979 comedy of the same name, in which Alan Arkin and Peter Falk played the mismatched fathers. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

An American journalist takes on the dangerous responsibility of rescuing nearly a thousand refugees from a Nazi concentration camp in this two-part made-for-TV movie based on a true story. In the early days of America's involvement in World War II, Ruth Gruber (Natasha Richardson) is a reporter who has been giving particular attention to a recent story: President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in violation of United States policies of the day, has announced he will grant asylum in America to 982 European refugees from Nazi labor camps. But someone needs to escort the prisoners to the U.S.; Gruber, of European ancestry and Jewish faith, volunteers for the assignment over the objections of her parents (Anne Bancroft and Martin Landau). Gruber travels to Italy on behalf of Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes (Hal Holbrook), where she helps the refugees board the U.S.S. Henry Gibbins. But Gruber discovers that the American sailors manning the ship regard their passengers as little better than their Nazi jailers, and the State Department declares, upon their arrival in the United States, that all the refugees are to be housed in a camp in Oswego, NY -- even those who have families willing to sponsor them in America. Gruber realizes her work with the refugees is far from done, and she bravely battles against both bureaucracy and prejudice to win both dignity and fair treatment for the new settlers. Haven was originally broadcast on the CBS television network on February 11 and 14, 2001. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
