Joey Fatone hosts this high flying series, throwing popular celebrities under the big-top to test their skills in various circus specialties. Each week, stars study with an expert in an area such as trapeze, high-wire, or wheel-of-death, and then showcases their latest jaw-dropping routine with their professional partner in front of a live audience. A panel of circus performing experts critique each team, and viewers at home call in to vote for their favorite circus celebrity, as the cast is slowly but surely whittled down to the winner of Celebrity Circus. ~ Cammila Albertson, Rovi

In this average erotic thriller produced by A. Gregory Hippolyte, Erika West stars as the editor of a sexually-oriented magazine. She receives letters from Francis Badham (Mitch Gaylord), a mute ex-convict with some dark secrets to go along with his fantasies. West gets involved with him anyway, with unfortunate results. Hippolyte and executive producer Walter Gernert, best known as adult films' notorious Dark Brothers, produced dozens of quickie erotic thrillers, many with porn stars in small roles (this one features Devon Shire), some of them expanded in unrated video versions. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Unlike his sleazy, anti-erotic Dark Bros. porn films, director A. Gregory Hippolyte's mainstream efforts tend to be sleek, stylish, and erotic like this popular item, a kinky thriller based on a true story. Maxwell Caulfield (Grease 2) plays a voyeuristic cop, and Shannon Whirry is his neglected wife. They start bringing home tricks from a classified ad, and Whirry plays with them while Caulfield covertly observes via hidden camera from another room. At first it appears that the couple has solved their marital problems, but things get ugly when one of sleazy bar owner David Carradine's goons answers an ad and gets dirt on the heroes. Caulfield is forced to videotape his wife with Carradine's political rival (Jan-Michael Vincent) in order to protect himself. The angry Caulfield then tries to turn the tables on Carradine, who is blackmailing him, and ends up marked for murder. A solid genre entry, silkily photographed and filled with familiar faces and great bodies, Animal Instincts is one of the more entertaining entries in a seemingly endless cycle, and was followed by two sequels. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
