In this science-fiction TV series, bio-anthropologist Dr. Sloan Parker (Debra Messing) encounters an advanced race intent on wiping out present-day humans. Problem is -- they look just like us. In the opening episode, Parker learns that Randall Lynch (Roger Howarth), who murdered her mentor, may not be human after she checks out his DNA. In fact, there's a whole quintet of guys she can't trust, including even an FBI agent (Adam Storke). Her only help comes from her two associates (Vincent Ventresca, Larry Drake). Global warming has triggered the problem, but how can she stop this highly advanced race? The ABC series premiered January 15, 1998. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Liebestraum is a moody, stylish suspense thriller written and directed by British director Mike Figgis. Nick (Kevin Anderson) is an architectural writer who goes home to be with his dying mother, Mrs. Anderssen (Kim Novak) from whom he was separated as a baby. There he meets an old friend and has an affair with the friend's wife, who was herself adopted after her mother went insane. Through a series of coincidences and a good deal of investigation Nick learns some terrible truths concerning everyone. The film, while beautiful to look at, and with a wonderful score composed by Figgis, is more interested in style and emotion rather than cogent explanations for the actions of the characters, however, taken for what it is, a mood piece, Liebestraum succeeds beautifully. Figgis has beautiful technique and is greatly aided by Juan Ruiz-Anchia's stark and evocative images. ~ Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide
