Erin Brockovich Movies

They've kept television viewers laughing for nearly 20 years, and now the most popular animated family on the small screen makes the leap into theaters as Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, ad Maggie embark on their first-ever feature-length adventure. Directed by David Silverman and written by a whole host of Simpsons veterans including Matt Groening and James L. Brooks, The Simpsons Movie also features special guest appearances by Albert Brooks among others. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Hosted by activist Erin Brockovich, whose real-life story inspired the Oscar-winning movie starring Julia Roberts, this 13-week series offered authentic tales of women beating the system and winning. The spotlight was shone upon corporate whistleblowers, union organizers, ecologists, and everyday people who were able to change laws, correct injustices and delegate huge cash settlements for the disenfranchised and downtrodden. The opening episode alone featured Susan Wilson, successful petitioner for a law to prosecute "video voyeurs"; Carol Sievers, who, after the rape and murder of her daughter, spearheaded a national DNA database to track down sex offenders; and Autumn Skeen, who lobbied for improved child-protection laws in the automobile industry. Taped in the summer of 2002, Final Justice made its cable-TV bow on January 17, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
