In the Big Love pilot, we are introduced to Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton) and his complicated family. Bill, who lives in a suburb of Salt Lake City, UT, owns Henrickson's Home Plus, a successful retail store that is about to open its second branch. Bill is having problems performing sexually, and blames it on the stress. Having three wives vying for his attention probably doesn't help. Margene (Ginnifer Goodwin) is insecure, and needs frequent reassurance from Bill. She seems lost when he is with his other wives. Nicki (Chloë Sevigny) appears to be doing a lot of surreptitious luxury shopping, and often asks her husband for extra money. Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn) is the only wife who has a job. She works as a substitute teacher, part-time, and balks when Bill asks her to put her paycheck into the family pot. Bill searches for a solution to his impotence on the Internet. More trouble rears its head when his sister-in-law, Wanda (Melora Walters), calls to tell him that his father, Frank (Bruce Dern), is apparently gravely ill, and that his mother, Lois (Grace Zabriskie) refuses to take Frank to a doctor. Bill, who has not seen his family in a while, wants his brother Joey (Shawn Doyle) to handle it, but Wanda points out that calling Bill was a last resort. Bill convinces Barb to accompany him and Nicki to attend to his parents at the hated UEB compound at Juniper Creek, run by Nicki's father, Roman (Harry Dean Stanton). While Bill is on the compound, Roman confronts him about a business dispute. Meanwhile, Heather (Tina Majorino), a new girl at Sarah's (Amanda Seyfried) fast-food job and a devout Mormon, takes an interest in Sarah. The pilot was directed by Rodrigo García (Nine Lives). ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

Bill (Bill Paxton) has started using Viagra to treat his impotence, and the results are quickly noticeable to Barb (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and Nicki (Chloë Sevigny) because they have to leave the backyard so their kids won't hear Margene's (Ginnifer Goodwin) screams of passion coming from the bedroom.Nicki volunteers to talk to Bill about how thoughtless they're being, and ends up going at it with Bill herself in Margene's bedroom. Margene overhears and is horrified, leading to increasing tension between the three wives. Margene also tells Bill that she needs her own car. Bill lets Roman (Harry Dean Stanton) know that he doesn't feel their old loan agreement extends to his newly opened second store. Roman clearly sees Bill's success as part of his own personal empire, and Bill is worried that the dangerous old man might take some kind of drastic action, so he hires a security consultant to install an alarm system in his three connected houses. Bill goes to drive Frank (Bruce Dern) home from the hospital, and Frank realizes that Bill suspects that it was Lois (Grace Zabriskie) who poisoned him. Ben's (Douglas Smith) non-Mormon girlfriend, Brynn (Sarah Jones), seems eager to get physically intimate with him, and he struggles against his natural desires. Heather (Tina Majorino) makes it clear to Sarah (Amanda Seyfried) that she knows about her parents' polygamous lifestyle, and still wants to be friends with her. "I should tell you," Heather warns her, "I don't agree with polygamy." "Yeah, well," Sarah responds, "Neither do I." Seyfried, Majorino, and Kyle Gallner, who plays Jason Embry, all also had recurring roles on Veronica Mars. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

Produced for cable's Lifetime network, this overwrought cautionary drama could be described as "Reefer Madness" for the PC generation. Healthy, clean-cut 16 year old Justin Peterson (Jeremy Peterson) all but destroys himself and his family via his hopeless addiction to Intenet porn. In the tradition of those old WW2 venereal-disease movies, Justin's obsession even ruins his athletic prowess (he was a champion swimmer before his descent into hell began). And of course, whereas he previously adopted a "hands off" attitude towards his virginal girlfriend Amy (Lyndsy Fonseca), poor Jeremy has been twisted and warped into a junior sex maniac--all because of those lustful images dancing across his monitor. This is the sort of film in which everyone but the hero is "computer illiterate", and thus incapable of figuring out how to block his access to porn until it is almost Too Late. Curiously, it is established early on that Justin's kid brother (Jake Scott) loves violent video games like "Grand Theft Auto", over which no one raises any objections! Entertaining enough if one is in the right frame of mind, Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life debuted June 20, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A young inventor struggling to protect his latest creation becomes convinced that he is the subject of a secret Russian spy ring in this thriller starring Malcolm in the Middle's Christopher Kennedy Masterson. Paul Lionette is a gifted young scientist who was betrayed by the people he trusted most. When Paul's unique ideas begin turning up in science journals credited to other inventors, the paranoid genius senses that the Russians, the major corporations, and even his own government are doing their best to discredit his efforts. But there's one invention that Paul hasn't told anyone about just yet: The Cube. Now, in order to protect what could be one of the greatest inventions in the history of humankind, the reclusive Paul will disappear into society in a desperate bid to throw off his malicious stalkers. In the process, Paul falls for a passionate local waitress who longs to experience life outside of her small-town confines. Paul's plan becomes unexpectedly complicated, however, when he is thrust into the spotlight after a shocking accident. Now, as Paul's once-predictable world becomes distorted into a paranoid circus funhouse where nothing is as it seems, the brilliant inventor is forced to make a series of impossible decisions just to stay alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Without warning or explanation, Foreman (Omar Epps) resigns from the clinic. If this turn of events bothers House (Hugh Laurie), he is certainly not betraying his feelings. In fact, he has already chosen Foreman's replacement: a cute 19-year-old vegetarian named Honey (Piper Perado), who is in a fragile emotional state because her boyfriend is cheating on her--by eating meat! Things take a grim turn when a 19-year-old patient (Lyndsy Fonseca) begins coughing up blood, and House stubbornly refuses to let anyone take issue with his on-the-spot diagnosis. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

On an impulse, Carrie Llewellyn (Jodie Bissett) and Jim Barber (Rob Estes) are married in Las Vegas. The couple heads home dreading the prospect of breaking the news of their instant union to their children--of which they have eight between them. It helps not at all that many of the kids already don't like each other, nor that Carrie's offspring can't warm up to Jim, and vice versa. An eventful family excursion to the local bowling alley finally brings everyone together--and when it seems that Carrie and Jim may drift apart, it's the children who cook up strategies to bring them back together. In one respect, this made-for-cable movie goes way, way past The Brady Bunch when a brief romance develops between the two oldest kids. Produced for the ABC Family Channel, I Do, They Don't was originally telecast on March 20, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

An eccentric genius is forced to confront the consequences of his own madness in this independent drama. Paul Hadley (Christopher Masterson) is a brilliant but emotionally fragile inventor who has developed a deep and not unjustifiable paranoia after a number of his most advanced ideas have mysteriously appeared as the work of other people. Convinced that someone has been spying on him -- perhaps the government, possibly industrial spies, maybe the Russians -- Hadley becomes increasingly reclusive as he works on his next project, a high-tech item he calls "the cube." One of the only times Hadley leaves his home is to eat, and after becoming a regular customer at a nearby diner, he strikes up a casual friendship with Jenny (Lyndsy Fonesca), a pretty young waitress. When Hadley leaves one of his notebooks at the diner, Jenny decides to stop by his place to return it; certain she's an intruder, Hadley attacks her before he realizes who she is, putting the woman into a coma and forcing him to confront the outside world whether he likes it or not. Intellectual Property was the first feature film from special effects artist-turned-director Nicholas Peterson. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A belief in "angels on earth," not to mention a belief in oneself, may enhance the enjoyment of this made-for-cable drama. Jaclyn Smith stars as Kay Woodbury, a tough, no-nonsense judge whose intractability in legal matters is intensified by a number of personal crises, including a bitter feud with her jurist father and her anguish over the recent remarriage of her ex-husband. Thus, Kay is no mood to play nice when teenager Sally Powell (Lyndsy Fonseca) is brought before her. Harboring an intense hatred for the father who apparently abandoned her, Sally is a seemingly incorrigible delinquent who has already "flunked out" in four foster homes. Figuring that she could no worse than anyone else, Kay takes Sally home on a trial basis. The girl proceeds to behave as atrociously as possible, but surprisingly Kay does not decide to write her off as a bad job, but instead concludes that what the girl needs is someone to trust and something to believe in. In this spirit, Kay locates Sally's birth father (C. Thomas Howell), and, upon being convinced that he was not motivated by selfishness when he dropped out of his daughter's life, secretly contrives for Sally and her dad to reconnect -- and in so doing Kay finds her own way toward forgiveness, not only of those whom she feels have wronged her, but also of herself. Ordinary Miracles made its Hallmark Channel debut on May 7, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
