1985  
PG  
This period drama about the American Revolution has an overlay of rhetoric that thwarts the action, flattening out the story about a man and his loved ones caught up in the events of the time. Tom Dobb (Al Pacino) falls in love with Daisy McConnahay (Nastassja Kinski), an aristocrat who deserts her class to fight alongside the rebels. Tom teaches his son Ned (Dexter Fletcher) everything he needs to learn, though the growing rebellion consumes most of his attention. Eventually, the Redcoats are mowed down in large battle scenes, as the ragtag Colonialists go to war. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

1999  
 
Produced for the 1999 edition of the BBC's annual Children in Need fundraiser, Pudding Lane was contributed by the cast and crew of the long-running, immensely popular British soap opera EastEnders. The script contrived to have several of the series' regulars pop up as different characters during the London Fire of 1666. Despite their "new" personalities, most of the actors retained their familiar character names, with a few amusing emendations. For example, Lindsey Coulson, who played Carol Jackson on EastEnders, was now known as Cockney Carol, while Sid Owen, alias "Ricky Butcher," now called himself Sticky Ricky. Pudding Lane was doled out in five five-minute installments, broadcast throughout the evening of November 26, 1999. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
