A reporter learns some lessons about love from a woman who has made it her business in this made-for-TV comedy-drama. Joanna Scott (Linda Hamilton) is a woman who thought she had the perfect life -- a successful career as a journalist and a strong marriage with her husband, Dale (Stewart Bick), that's already lasted ten years. But when Dale suddenly announces that he's leaving Joanna for a younger woman, her self-confidence goes out the window and she's not sure what to do next. Joanna's editor assigns her to write a story about Madame Simone (Jacqueline Bisset), the Madame of the most luxurious bordello in Paris. It's hardly a subject Joanna would have chosen herself, but she figures a trip to France on the magazine's expense account might help to cheer her up. Joanna meets with Madame Simone, but the Madame senses that Joanna is unhappy and asks her a few questions about the state of her love life. Madame Simone then takes it upon herself to pass a few of the lessons she's learned about sensuality and romance along to Joanna, teaching her the importance of self-confidence as she looks for new love. Sex & Mrs. X first aired on April 10, 2000. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Nikita (Peta Wilson) poses as the long-lost daughter of Helen Wicke (Alberta Watson), a sociopath who runs a vicious arms-dealing operation with her husband, John (Wayne Best). It's all part of a scheme hatched by Operations (Eugene Robert Glazer) to retrieve a stolen nuclear trigger. Not surprisingly, the plan has its flaws, and before long both Helen and Nikita are eminently expendable. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A pirate broadcaster becomes the last voice for freedom in a totalitarian state in this dystopian sci-fi drama. In the not-so-distant future, America has been transformed into a fascist state, and a massive economic recession coupled with a shortage of food has made it easy for the new, corrupt government to control the citizens as they see fit. However, a rebel voice, who calls himself Johnny Shortwave, takes to the airwaves, broadcasting messages that encourage the people to band together and stand up for their rights against their tyrannical leaders. Johnny's pirate broadcasts are jammed into scheduled programming sponsored by the Industrial Alliance, the group that backs the current dictatorship, and the I.A.'s leaders hire a notorious hit man known only as "The Photographer" to find Johnny Shortwave and silence him forever. Johnny Shortwave stars Emmanuel Mark, John Tench, and Mona Matteo. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
