A popular sitcom star and six of her closest friends set out for a relaxing weekend in the wilderness, only to find themselves stalked by a homicidal maniac in director H.M. Coakley's viciously hilarious horror comedy. Soon after the group crams into Monica's SUV and heads out on the highway, Monica's boyfriend Dwayne spots his recently paroled cousin Troy hitchhiking on the side of the road. Later, with one more passenger than originally planned in tow, the crew arrives at their remote cabin only to find that Monica's agent has also decided to join the party with the intent of convincing the reluctant actress to renew her contract -- and he's brought along a date as well. When Dwayne proposes to Monica as a heavy thunderstorm rolls in and the friends decide to celebrate with some champagne, Troy heads into the kitchen to retrieve a bottle and set the party into motion. Just then, a news bulletin flashes across the television screen implicating Troy in a shocking murder. Though Dwayne insists that his cousin is a simple thief and has never harmed a soul, the lights suddenly flicker out and the body count begins to rise. With no place to run and a killer on the loose, the fun grinds to a brutal halt as the frightened vacationers attempt to survive through the night while revealing the true identity of the killer before the maniac responsible for so much carnage is the last one standing. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

The made-for-cable The Family Plan will probably seem a breath of fresh air to anyone who hasn't seen such movies as Picture Perfect and Good Neighbor Sam, or who can't remember the mid-1960s TV sitcom Occasional Wife. A longtime employee at Sugar Dot Bakeries, Ms. Charlie McKenzie (Tori Spelling) faces dismissal when the company is taken over by a conglomerate. It seems that new CEO Walcott (Greg Germann) is a staunch advocate of Family Values, and prefers to employ people who are married and with children. Since Charlie cannot meet either one of these requirements, she hastily concocts a job-saving hoax, "borrowing" her best friend's daughter (Kali Rocha) to pose as her own child, then hiring unemployed actor Buck Maddox (Jordan Bridges) to impersonate Charlie's nonexistent dental-hygienist husband. The you-know-what threatens to hit the fan when Germann moves next door to Charlie and her "family". The Family Plan originally aired over the Hallmark channel on February 17, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Fans of the old Baywatch TV series take heart. Despite all evidence to the contrary, legendary lifeguard Mitch Buchannon (David Hasselhoff) was not killed in that explosion during the series' final season. Instead, he has been suffering from amnesia for the past three years, and has now re-emerged from the shadows with a stunning new fiancée in tow. The lovely Allison bears an astonishing resemblance to Mitch's long-dead sweetheart, policewoman Stephanie Holden -- as well she may, since Allison is also played by the series' Alexandra Paul. Virtually all of the old Baywatch regulars gather together for the lavish wedding of Mitch and Shannon in Hawaii, little suspecting that Allison is actually in league with an old enemy of Mitch's who has set his cold, black heart on a horrible revenge. Is there anyone in the wedding party who will step up and rescue Mitch from certain doom? Perhaps his ex-wife Neely Capshaw (Gena Lee Nolin), or the still beautiful, incredibly pneumatic Casey Jean Parker (who else but Pamela Anderson)? The sort of TV-movie fare for which sweeps weeks were invented, Baywatch Hawaiian Wedding made its Fox network debut February 28, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Jeff (William Gregory Lee), fresh out of college, lands a job with an established Wall Street brokerage house run by charismatic Dyson Keller (Eric Roberts), whose employees, all male, make a lot of money by being particularly cutthroat. Jeff buys into the cult only to learn too late Wolfe Brothers' secret regarding the full moon. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide
