This routine film catalogues what happens to a teen's life when he is wrenched from an easy existence in affluent, East Coast suburbia and dropped into the lean, mean streets of a downscale L.A. suburb. James Spader is Morgan Hiller, displaced with his parents and brother when his father loses some of the wealth to which they were accustomed and the family moves to California. Morgan soon attracts Frankie (Kim Richards), the girlfriend of Nick (Paul Mones), a high school tough who does not appreciate Frankie's change of heart. The antagonism between Morgan and Frankie mounts as they both approach a high-noon showdown. Aside from some musical numbers which seem to have wandered in from another film about teen singers and dancers, the story is compelling and the film is notable for one of the early performances of Robert Downey in a subsidiary role. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

In this erotic skin-flick, lovely Julianne, a bored Hollywood housewife finds much-needed excitement when she begins working as a pricey hooker for a posh local brothel, Afternoon Demitasse. Though shy at first, eventually the woman decides to go all the way. Her first client is the wonderful
Eric, a super stud who fulfills her wildest sexual fantasies by not only taking her to the giddiest heights of physical pleasure but also talking intelligently to her afterward. He soon becomes her favorite regular. Though she is having a ball in the afternoon, at night, Julianne is tortured by terrible guilty nightmares. Meanwhile, back at the brothel, Julianne's fun part-time job, takes a dark turn when she realizes that Eric has become obsessed with having her all to himself and is even willing to kill for the privilege. The film is basically a remake of Bunuel's classic Belle du Jour, and features plenty of lingerie-clad and naked beauties engaged in a variety of soft-core hetero and homosexual acts. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Agoraphobia (Greek for "fear of the marketplace") is the focus of this drama starring Elliott Gould as Jimmy Morgan. Morgan seems fairly well-adjusted considering that deeply afflicted agoraphobics live in fear and even terror of human relationships and other people; a fear of going outside is only one part of the illness. Yet Morgan controls his finances from home, has sexual partners brought in by an escort service, persuades his relatives to visit him, and gets his drugs via housecalls. This travesty of a seriously sick man is only allayed slightly when he lies to everyone and tries to disguise his inability to step outside his door (a common trait of agoraphobics). As Morgan loses friends, business investments, and a budding relationship with one of the escort women (Jennifer Tilly), he is driven to consider treatment for the first time. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
