Picking up where Scanners left off, this sequel has good and evil scanners combatting when a crooked politician schemes to gain control of a major city. Scanners are people who, because their mothers had taken a certain drug during pregnancy, have acquired telepathic powers. Here, a "bad-guy" scanner escapes from a mental center and is hired by the politician to use his powers to gain control of others' minds, and then, their actions. A "good-guy" scanner teams with his sister to thwart these plans. ~ Rovi

Maggie (Isabelle Mejias) is an ordinary Canadian girl who has signed on to work in a Catholic mission in modern-day Africa. She is comes to the job amply supplied with enthusiasm and ignorance, and manages to consistently do things which show her lack of understanding of the local culture and which trample on local sensibilities. For instance, when she discovers that some things in her house have been stolen, she foolishly reports the theft. This results in her houseboy being arrested and sent away to prison for ten years. It is not a question of who was guilty (he might have been), but of the abitrariness of his treatment. This jars the heretofore clueless girl out of her complacency, and she belatedly makes some attempts to understand her environment. In this, she is aided by her houseboy's wife, who has, despite everything, allowed Maggie to become her friend. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

In this sobering tale, a young girl is sexually abused by her father and takes desperate measures to escape him. Leaving home, she lives as a prostitute and suffers the ill effects of drug abuse. ~ Iotis Erlewine, Rovi

When porn-star Roxy Du Jour (Sally Kellerman) dies with her clothes off while filming her latest project, Saint Peter (Al Waxman) informs her she must do a good deed before she is allowed to pass through the gates of heaven. Roxy's ghost is sent back to Earth to be the patron saint of sex to Rudy (Patrick Dempsey), the dorky virginal teenager who longs for his first sexual encounter. Roxy gives Rudy several tips that only serve to further frustrate Rudy. He has his eye on The Love Goddess (Shannon Tweed) while turning down the continual advances of Wendy (Isabelle Mejias). Kellerman's performance is the only bright light in this insipid sex comedy. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Based on cop-turned-author Joseph Wambaugh's factual chronicle of a 1979 murder investigation in Pennsylvania, this crime drama originally aired as a television mini-series. The story centers on the murder of Susan Reinert, a local school teacher, and the disappearance of her entire class of children. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Kiefer Sutherland won a Genie Award for his performance in Bay Boy. In 1937 Nova Scotia, Donald Campbell (Sutherland) lives with his dirt-poor parents (Liv Ullmann and Peter Donat). His folks hope that Donald will enter the priesthood, but he isn't keen on this. For one thing, he harbors "unnatural" feelings towards a nun; for another, one of the local priests has made sexual advances towards him. Donald prefers to spend his time with pretty sisters Saxon and Dianna (Leah Pinsent and Jane McKinnon) -- but even this becomes untenable when the boy witnesses a homicidal hate crime committed by the girls' father, police constable Tom Coldwell (Alan Scarfe). It is in this intolerable atmosphere that Donald finally comes of age, which is the point to which the film is leading. Weighed down with an unnecessarily complex script, Kiefer Sutherland comes off quite well in Bay Boy; the other performers -- even the estimable Liv Ullmann -- tend to be one-note stereotypes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This sombre European melodrama was also released as Julie Darling. A teenaged girl witnesses the rape and murder of mother. Because she hated her mom, the girl feels responsible for her death. Later on, her dad remarries. Despising her stepmother as much as she did the original article, Julie begins plotting her new mom's demise. Anthony Franciosa and Sybil Danning also star in Daughter of Death, but the bulk of the film is in the hands of newcomer Isabelle Mejias. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This well-wrought family comedy-drama by director Max Fischer is set in Holland during World War II. Young David (Brett Marx) has been separated from his parents because they were taken prisoner by the Nazis and sent away to a concentration camp. David ends up living on a Rotterdam farm as one of their workers and spends his time as best he can. He has always been entranced by American westerns and this infatuation gives him a certain confidence when it is most needed. David is inspired by his screen idols when he sees a chance to capture Colonel Gluck (Rod Steiger), an officer in the German army. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
