After a drunken driver kills three people in the same accident, Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) deliver the perpetrator to the D.A.'s office. Still grieving over the death of his former partner, Claire Kincaid, in a similar DUI accident, McCoy (Sam Waterston) intends to charge the driver with first-degree murder, a determination which results in conflict between McCoy and his current partner Ross (Carey Lowell). The ensuing trial degenerates into a media circus, helped not at all by the ruthless behavior of a politically ambitious judge. Cliff Gorman makes his first Law & Order appearance as Judge Gary Feldman. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A private adoption racket is exposed when a woman claims that she fainted in a taxi and awoke to find baby missing. In the course of their investigation, detective Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Logan (Chris Noth) encounter all manner of human anguish and desperation.

Despite warnings from their neighbors, a pair of newlyweds move into a "jinxed" house. They soon find themselves sharing space with a particularly hostile goblin. Not even the obligatory exorcism scene is much good this time, as the blood and gore cascades freely. Not the most polished of films, Goblin has all the professionalism of your uncle's family reunion videotapes. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The husband of high school teacher Jenna Kealey (Ashley Crow) is killed in what seems to be a hit-and-run accident. Eventually, however, it becomes obvious that the man was murdered, possibly as the result of a conspiracy between Jenna and Roy Pack Jr. (David Seaman), the teenaged student with whom she is having an affair. The D.A.'s office is in for a heap of frustration when Jenna claims that Roy was solely responsible for the killing -- and vice-versa. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This modest teen comedy has the usual themes revolving around sex: how to handle it, how to relate to it, and how to do just about everything except engage in it. The focus is on two teenagers, one is the serious Natalie (Jennifer Connelly). She has her eyes set on becoming President of the U.S. and one day heads off to Washington D.C. on a special visit for "Future Leaders." A certain presidential aide brings a romantic touch to her idealized vision. The other teen is Polly Franklin (Maddie Corman) whose infatuation with a baseball player takes her to New York -- where a photographer steps in as a pinch-hitter. A few other subplots move circumstances around in the two teens' lives, though their romantic exploits take center stage. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
