Two unusual characters are on the run from a mob of killers in this road movie from Hungarian filmmaker Janos Edelenyi. Gabor (Andor Lukats) is over fifty years old but mentally challenged, and he still relies on his aging mother for help with his daily chores. One day, Gabor and his mother are at the bank when a gang of thieves burst in and stage a robbery; Gabor's mom is killed during the melee, and the thieves realize he's an eyewitness who could put them behind bars. Jolie (Vesela Kazakova) is a hooker and confidence woman who was an accomplice to the robbery; she's recruited to bring in Gabor so he can he executed, but when Jolie realizes she's also been targeted by her former compatriots, she and Gabor hit the road in search of safe haven. Gabor says he has a grandmother in Serbia who can take them in, but Jolie isn't sure if she's real or a product of his imagination, and she's not thrilled about the chandelier he's brought along as a gift for Grandma. As they make their way through Eastern Europe, Jolie and Gabor become close friends and come to rely on one another, though his limited perspective on human relationships leaves him angry and confused at how Jolie makes her living. Prima Primavera received its North American premiere at the 2010 Cinequest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In the fall of 1956, Hungary was one of many Eastern Bloc nations living under the thumb of the Soviet Union, but the people of Hungary stood up to the power of the U.S.S.R. and launched a rebellion that threatened to topple Soviet control of the country. After thirteen days in which revolutionary forces took to the streets and demanded freedom, skirmishes with police led to an invasion by the Russian military, who crushed the budding revolt with tanks. But the rebellion became a pivotal event in the ongoing Cold War, suggesting that the Soviet Union was not invulnerable despite the failure of the Hungarian revolt and providing a rallying point for future actions against the U.S.S.R. A handful of Hungarian film students used their camera to document the people's uprising and the subsequent Soviet invasion; two of them, Laszlo Kovacs and Vilmos Zsigmond, eventually fled Hungary and made their way to the United States, taking their footage of the revolt with them. Kovacs and Zsigmond would in time become two of Hollywood's best respected cinematographers, and the footage they shot in 1956 has become the basis of Torn From The Flag, a documentary about the short-lived Hungarian revolution and how the event sowed the seeds for the end of Hungarian Communism in 1989. Kovacs served as Director of Photography for the new interview segments in Torn From The Flag; it was the last project he would work on prior to his death in the summer of 2007. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

While trying to retrieve a stolen newspaper, paperboy Nestor Alverez (Enrique Almeida) is killed on Monk's doorstep. In his efforts to determine the motive behind the killing, Monk (Tony Shalhoub) manages to solve two unrelated murders--but still can't find out why anyone would want to bump off a nice kid like Nestor. It takes an additional murder, coupled with the keen analytical eye of Monk's nurse-assistant Sharona (Bitty Schram), to finally crack the case. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

31-year-old Elyce Snow (Myndy Crist) sleeps eighteen hours a day, and is impossible to get along with the other six hours. House (Hugh Laurie) thinks it might be depression, but it isn't, nor is it rabbit fever (his second choice). Finally, House diagnoses African Sleeping Sickness--and since neither Elyce nor her husband Ed (Dominic Purcell) has ever been to Africa, the only other possibility is that one of them has been unfaithful. But neither husband nor wife will fess up...not even if their silence results in her quick demise! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hoping to save a few bucks while planning a party, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) and Niles (David Hyde Pierce) are persuaded to buy some "black market" caviar. The stuff goes over so well with the guests that the brothers seek out their "contact" for more caviar, only to find out the supply has dried up and the Feds have clamped down on all illicit fish-egg trade. This is bad news for Roz (Peri Gilpin), who has become a hopeless caviar addict and can't go "cold turkey" -- or even "cold roe." Meanwhile, Martin (John Mahoney) tries to return an overdraw from an ATM and is nearly arrested for his troubles. ~ Rovi

Now that Sark (new series regular David Anders) is in charge of the cartel formerly headed by Sydney's mother, Irina (Lena Olin), he launches a Russian satellite spy camera that will help him corrupt the world's security systems. It is up to Sydney (Jennifer Garner) to tap into the images projected by that camera, thereby enabling her to locate a Rambaldi-designed music box containing valuable scientific equations. Though Irina insists she wants to help Sydney in her mission, Irina's ex-husband, Jack (Victor Garber), warns that the woman can still not be trusted -- and by the episode's end, it looks like Jack may be right. Elsewhere, investigative journalist Will (Bradley Cooper) finally meets Syd's CIA contact, Vaughn (Michael Vartan), and sinister SD-6 chieftain Sloane (Ron Rifkin) begins to suspect that his wife, Emily, isn't dead. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Although the popular science fiction series Babylon 5 had officially run its course, one final two-hour episode was deemed necessary to segue into the spinoff series Crusade. Thus, on January 3, 1999, the TNT Network offered the world premiere of Babylon 5: A Call to Arms. The year is 2266: After several years' development, the first destroyer prototypes based on the White Stars (proposed by B5 crew member Delenn in the fifth-season episode "Movements of Fire and Shadow") have been completed. While inspecting the results, Alliance President Sheridan (Bruce Boxleitner) experences disturbing visions of a future Apocalypse -- and of a doomsaying stranger named Galen. Sheridan's visions seem poised to become reality when the Drakh, the dreaded allies of the defeated Shadows, mount a counteroffensive against humanity. It is up to a new team of space warriors, manning the twin battlecruisers "Excalibur" and "Victory," to prevent Galen's predictions from coming true. Babylon 5: A Call to Arms was written by J. Michael Straczynski, and later novelized by Robert Sheckley. As for Crusade, that oft-postponed series finally debuted on June 9, 1999. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

1998  
 
This TV science fiction action drama is based on the familiar fantasy notion: what if it were possible to go back and do it all over again, minus mistakes? Ex-CIA agent Frank Parker (Jonathan LaPaglia) is yanked from a mental institution and assigned to a top-secret project engineered from a Roswell-based alien technology. The government has developed a device that can send a single human being into the past -- but only as far back as seven days. Parker has been selected to do this each week because of his contempt for authority, his ability to withstand pain, and his photographic memory. When the action cools down, Parker flirts with gorgeous Russian scientist Olga Vukavitch (Justina Vail). Filmed in L.A., the series premiered with a two-hour pilot on October 7, 1998 on United Paramount Network. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Teenage lust turns deadly in this slightly campy exploitation drama. Debbie Strand (Rose McGowan) is a sexy but troubled teenager with a checkered past who is sent to live with her grandmother after the death of her parents. Grandma attempts to keep Debbie on a short leash, but she's soon sneaking out for not always wholesome fun with her new friends. Debbie, who has never had trouble attracting whatever man she wants, sets her sights on Peter Rinaldi (Alex McArthur), a teacher at her high school. However, Peter has both a fiancée and strong scruples, so he repeatedly rejects Debbie's advances. But Hell hath no fury like a Debbie scorned, and before long Peter finds that his life is ruined and bodies are piling up, as an angry Ms. Strand takes her revenge on her would-be suitor. Also released under the title Dearly Devoted (and not based on the oft-filmed Raymond Radiguet novel), Devil in the Flesh was co-scripted by Kelly Carlin-McCall, daughter of noted comedian George Carlin. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

After killing her mother in childbirth, growing up in San Francisco with her father and stepmother, attempting suicide, and moving to Los Angeles, Sarah (Robin Tunney) makes a brief stab at popularity at her new Catholic high school. Ostracized due to the untrue kiss-and-tell tales of football player Chris (Skeet Ulrich), Sarah reluctantly befriends a trio of self-styled outsiders: the horribly scarred Bonnie (Neve Campbell), the trailer-trash Nancy (Fairuza Balk), and Rochelle (Rachel True), a frequent victim of anti-black prejudice at the hands of Laura Lizzie (former Marcia Brady and future Mrs. Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor). After exhibiting latent telekenitic powers in front of Bonnie, Sarah learns that her three new friends have chosen her as their "fourth corner," the final member of their supernatural coven. Using tools stolen from a local incense-and-candle-filled boutique for practitioners of magic, the quartet summons the power of Manon, a primitive deity, to exact revenge on their tormentors and transform their lives. Drunk with power, they watch their spells get out of control, and the new coven soon realizes that with magic, "whatever you give comes back three-fold." This mid-'90s horror flick scored first place at the box office its opening weekend despite its then-unknown cast and modest budget. TV star Neve Campbell, who didn't even receive top billing, would go on to become the '90s answer to '70s horror queen Jamie Lee Curtis in the Scream franchise. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi
