When a bodacious doctor assists a married sex researcher in the lab, they begin an affair that she seems to grow obsessed with. Before long, the regretful man realizes that he has snagged a psychopathic nymph who would rather kill him than give him up to his wife. If not already apparent: there is a bit of sexual content in this suspense film. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi

The second entry in the Body Chemistry film series, Voice of a Stranger stars Lisa Pescia as a talk-radio sex counselor (a recurring character in the films). Ex-cop Gregory Harrison costars as a troubled victim of child abuse who is currently into "rough sex." Harrison places a call to Pescia, who gives him erotically-tinged advice. He takes her all too much to heart-and it could mean murder. Real-life radio personality Morton Downey Jr. costars as Big Chuck. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The first Body Chemistry (1989) was a variation on Fatal Attraction: Sexual-behavior researcher Marc Singer is threatened with death when he breaks off his romance with lab assistant Mary Crosby. Body Chemistry 2: Voice of a Stranger (1991) was a variation on that variation, with ex-cop Gregory Harrison, addicted to "rough sex", finds he can't shake his former girl friend, psycho radio counselor Lisa Pescia. So now we're up to Body Chemistry 3: Point of Seduction. This time, a female sex therapist Shari Shattuck attracts the attention of a maleTV producer Andrew Stevens when most of her former lovers turn up dead. Complicating matters is another woman in the producer's life: his actress wife Morgan Fairchild, who wants to star in a movie based on the lady therapist's life. Definitely not a "date movie." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Night Court staff is sorely annoyed at Mac's defection, especially when his replacement, Eddie Creeger (Jack McGee), proves to be a monumental foul-up. Meanwhile, Mac has troubles of his own, thanks to a huge lawsuit slapped upon the restaurant owned by his wife Quon Le (Denice Kumagai). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Maverick indie filmmaker Henry Jaglom moves from the sweet poignancy of his 2009 Irene in Time to knowing Hollywood satire with this romantic comedy that finds him teaming with actress Tanna Frederick for the third time. Frederick portrays Maggie Chase, a B-list star who longs to find love and fulfillment and achieve household-name status, but must contend with twin products of her wild behavior: a court-ordered electronic ankle bracelet and temporary house arrest. Fortunately, Maggie has a team of clever spin doctors (Ron Vignone, David Proval, Zack Norman, and Diane Salinger), who manage to turn her drunk-driving activities into attention-grabbing tabloid fodder. She also draws on the support of a movie-star beau, Dov Lambert (Christopher Rydell), equally known for his no-holds-barred behavior. For a time, it looks as though Maggie's grandest dreams will actualize, as her national fame crescendos, but her life grows more complicated when she follows Dov home to meet his kin, and runs headfirst into a series of show-business legends (played by Peter Bogdanovich, Dennis Christopher, Kathryn Crosby, Mary Crosby, Sabrina Jaglom, and Jack Heller). She also meets Dov's brother, failed writer Aaron Lambert (Noah Wyle), who seems tailor-made for Maggie with his ability to penetrate her superficial facades, but must deal with lingering issues in his own life and past. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Monica (Roma Downey) and Andrew (John Dye) are assigned to the old-time comedy team of Salt and Pepper, who are about to be inducted into the Comedy Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, Maury Salt (Jerry Stiller) and Ed Pepper (Tom Poston) have hated each other ever since the argument that broke them up thirty years ago. Reluctantly reunited for the induction ceremony, the two showbiz veterans start quarrelling all over again, and it takes the intervention of Monica, posing as Salt's woefully inept new comedy partner, to restore a semblance of peace and quiet. As it turns out, if a reconciliation is to take place, it had better be soon; one of the partners hasn't much longer to live. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas team up one last time in Tough Guys. Harry Doyle (Lancaster) and Archie Lang (Douglas) are two old-time train robbers, who held up a train in 1956 and have been incarcerated for thirty years. After serving their time, they are released from jail and have to adjust to a new life of freedom, now as old men. Harry and Archie realize that they still have the pizzazz when, picking up their prison checks at a bank, they foil a robbery attempt. Archie, who spent his prison time pumping himself up, easily picks up a 20-year-old aerobics instructor named Skye (Darlanne Fluegel). Harry, on the other hand, has to waste away his days in a nursing home. They both have festering resentments --Archie for having to endure a humiliating job as a busboy; Harry for having to endure patronizing attitudes toward senior citizens. The two old pals finally go back to what they know best. After successfully robbing an armored car, they decide to rob the same train that they robbed thirty years ago. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi
