Meredith Bishop Movies
A thief gains an unlikely fan in a security specialist in this independent comedy. Emily (Meredith Bishop) is a young woman who isn't sure what she wants to do with her life; while she has fuzzy goals of becoming an artist, she's most concerned with convincing her mother (Leigh Taylor-Young) and her analyst (Michael Nouri) that everything is just fine. But Emily has discovered a way to take her mind off of her anxieties -- shoplifting. She steals for enjoyment rather than necessity, and her graceful work at a department store has earned her the admiration of Nick (Jsu Garcia), head of the store's security team. Nick is sick of his job and wants to start his own business; however, a seemingly foolproof get-rich-quick scheme has backfired, leaving him deep in debt to a Russian gangster (Henry Czerny). Rather than have Emily arrested, Nick persuades her to go out with him, and as a tentative relationship grows between the two, they decide to team up for a raid on the store after Nick is fired from his job. Klepto was the first feature film from director and screenwriter Thomas Trail. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

The Most Dangerous Game meets The Running Man in this episode, wherein Quinn (Jerry O'Connell), Maggie (Kari Wuhrer), Remmy (Cleavant Derricks) and Colin (Charlie O'Connell) emerge from their latest slide to land on a deserted earth. Here they find themselves in the middle of a target range created by the Hu-Maggs, a race of Kromagg-human hybrids who hunt down humans like animals. The Sliders try to rescue one of the "hunted", Jenny Anderson (Meredith Bishop), but she resists their efforts, explaining that the Hu-Maggs have promised to set her free if she survives the huntdown for twenty days. What Jenny doesn't know is that there have never been any survivors...and never will be. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
