Part of the Foto-Novela film series, Broken Sky is a half-hour film directed by Carlos Avila. The illustrated story is inspired by Woody Guthrie's ballad "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)," which itself was inspired by the 1948 plane crash in Fresno, CA, that killed 28 Mexican passengers. Over 50 years later, Rodrigo Cortinas (Victor Campos) is nearing the end of his life. He is visited by the spirit of his wife, Rosario (Diana Uribe), who died in the plane crash. His son Mario (Robert Beltran) contemplates whether to put Rodrigo in a nursing home. Broken Sky was shown along with the short film Junkyard Saints as part of the Independent Lens series on PBS. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

The seventh and final season of Star Trek: Voyager opens with the resolution of the previous season's cliffhanger, in which the loyalties of Voyager crew member Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) perilously vacillate between Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the evil Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson). Pushing ever forward in hopes of returning to their home base in Alpha Quadrant, Janeway's crew encounters numerous other adventures and challenges. Along the way, the crew person Neelix (Ethan Phillips) helps his fellow Talaxians vanquish their evil miner oppressors on a distant asteroid, and is ultimately appointed Starfleet ambassador to the Delta Quadrant. The series concludes with a "flash-forward" set 33 years in the future -- ten years after the Voyager had successfully returned to the Alpha Quadrant. Janeway has been promoted to Admiral, former ensign Harry Kim (Garrett Wang) is now a captain, Lt. Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) is a successful author, the daughter of Tom and B'Elanna (Roxann Biggs-Dawson) is herself a Starfleet officer, the holographic Doctor (Robert Picardo) has become sufficiently human to fall in love -- and, tragically, the Vulcan Tuvok (Tim Russ) is gravely ill and Seven of Nine is long dead. Stealing a Klingon device that enables her to go back in time, the elderly Janeway hopes to help her younger self in the battle against the Borg Queen (now played by Alice Krige) which cost Seven of Nine her life -- and the ex-captain may have to sacrifice herself in the process. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The opening episode of Star Trek: Voyager's sixth season neatly resolves the cliffhanger set up at the end of season five -- and once the crew of the Voyager has rescued the ship's technology from the wrong hands, they resume their efforts to return to Starfleet Command in the Alpha Quadrant. This season's highlights include an episode in which the crew rescues a 300-year-old U.S. spaceship, trapped in a huge energy ball; a startling revelation regarding the Borg Collective past of crew member Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan); the introduction of a new recurring character, the adolescent Naomi Wildman (played by future Reba co-star Scarlett Pomers); and a guest appearance by the pro wrestler known as The Rock. The episode "Pathfinder" represents the first of several series appearances by former Star Trek: The Next Generation semi-regular Dwight Schultz in his familiar role as "Reg" Barclay, here establishing a communication link between Voyager and the Alpha Quadrant -- but only for 11 minutes at a time. Seven of Nine learns awful truth about her Borg past. The crew rescue a 300-year-old U.S. spaceship trapped in a huge energy ball in "One Small Step." "Collective" introduces four new recurring characters, the partially assimilated Borg children Icheb (Manu Intiraymi), Mezoti (Marley S. McClean), Azan (Kurt Wetherill), and Rebi (Cody Wetherill), with whom Seven of Nine forms a sympathetic bond. And in "Fury," former regular Jennifer Lien makes a return appearance as the Ocampan Kes. The season's traditional cliffhanger finale is sparked by a dream experienced by Seven of Nine in which all Borg Drones are allowed to regain their individuality -- a contingency that the Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson) intends to prevent at any cost, including the total destruction of the Voyager. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

As the crew of the Voyager eagerly looks forward to their imminent return to their home base in the Alpha Quadrant, the fifth-season opener of Star Trek: Voyager finds the ship's captain, Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), in seclusion, grimly questioning her past judgments of command. As it turns out, the ship is not quite back on its own turf, meaning that more adventures must come to pass before the Voyager's lengthy space odyssey can be resolved. Of the many plot developments transpiring during season five, several stand out: Lt. Tom Paris' (Robert Duncan McNeill) humiliating demotion after refusing to obey an order he cannot justify to himself; the near-reassimilation of Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) into her old Borg Collective; the bleak future envisioned by crew members Chakotay (Robert Beltran) and Kim (Garrett Wang) unless they are able to turn back the clock some 15 years; the marriage of Paris and B'Elanna (Roxann Biggs-Dawson), and their subsequent holographic honeymoon; and a foray into chaotic space, where absolutely none of the usual rules of physics apply. Elsewhere, Voyager's holographic Doctor (Robert Picardo) continues his efforts to become more human; and in the episode "11:59," Janeway flashes back to the time when her 20th century ancestor saved the world on the brink of the millennium. And yes, season five ends on a cliffhanger. This time out, the Voyager's technology is captured by a hostile force, leaving everyone's fate in the balance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Billed as a Latina Waiting to Exhale, this film details the life and loves of four Hispanic women: Sofia, a therapist; Andrea, a divorced lawyer; Irene, a flashy clothes designer; and Lilly, an artist. The women gather every week at the nightspot Luminarias to discuss jobs, family, love, and sex.

With the cliffhanger finale of Star Trek: Voyager's third season efficiently resolved in the opening salvo of season four, the crew of the Voyager finds itself with a new member: Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), an earthling who in childhood had been assimilated into a Borg collective, forsaking her individuality in the process. As the season progresses, Seven of Nine's essential humanity slowly returns -- but given her Borg background, can she be trusted? Meanwhile, the Voyager bids goodbye to Ocampan crew person Kes (Jennifer Lien), who after the battle which briefly united her crew with the Borg is compelled to morph into an energy being -- but not before pushing the Voyager some 9,500 light years closer to the Alpha Quadrant. In other developments, Talaxian crew member Neelix (Ethan Phillips) ponders the significance of his existence after being snatched from the jaws of death; former antagonists B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Biggs-Dawson) and Lt. Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) fall in love; and Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) faces a new threat to the well-being of herself and her crew in the form of "Species 8472." The season's most intriguing episode is "Living Witness," set in the far-distant future, in which a museum curator relates a "reconstructed" version of the Voyager's crucial intervention in the war between the Kyrians and the Vaskans. This season's cliffhanger finale finds the crew celebrating the likelihood that they will soon return to their home base -- but Janeway is curiously non-celebratory, and very grim. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Season three of Star Trek: Voyager begins with the titular space vessel still in the hands of the enemy Kazon, and Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and most of her crew still stranded on Hanon IV, a desolate planet that closely resembles a prehistoric Earth. Eventually extricating themselves from this situation, the crew survives to embark on innumerable other adventures in their efforts to escape the distant Gamma Quadrant and return to their Starfleet Command home base. Highlight episodes this season include the two-part "Future's End," in which the crew must alter events of the 20th century to avert catastrophe in their own time; "The Q and the Gray," in which familiar Star Trek: The Next Generation nemesis Q (John DeLancie) demands that Janeway bear him a child; "Coda," wherein Janeway comes face to face with her deceased father; "The Darkling," which finds the holographic Doctor (Robert Picardo) generating a hostile version of himself; and "Before & After," in which Ocampan crew member Kes (Jennifer Lien) is given a most disturbing glimpse into the future. The traditional cliffhanger ending of Star Trek: Voyager's third season finds Janeway forced to forge an alliance with our old "friends," the Borg, in order to vanquish an even more powerful enemy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Season two of Star Trek: Voyager opens on a hopeful note, as Voyager captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) comes upon evidence that she is close to escaping the void of the Gamma Quadrant and returning herself and her crew to Starfleet Command in the Alpha Quadrant. But alas! This hope is soon dashed, with Janeway no closer to her home base than before. In the episodes that follow, Voyager's holographic Doctor (Robert Picardo) is given reason to believe that he is real and everything else is a hologram; Janeway's first officer, Chakotay (Robert Beltran), has a dangerous reunion with former lover Seska (Martha Hackett), who has aligned herself with the dreaded Kazon; the human Lt. Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) and the Talaxian Neelix (Ethan Phillips) vie for the affections of the Ocampan Kes (Jennifer Lien); a curious phenomenon causes the entire crew to be duplicated, with Neelix and the Vulcan Tuvok (Tim Russ) merging into a single being; Chakotay and Janeway become mortally ill; apparently mild-mannered crew person Jonas (Raphael Sbarge) reveals himself to be a turncoat; and the crew must contend with the mercurial Q (John DeLancie), a familiar nemesis from the earlier series Star Trek: The Next Generation. In the season's cliffhanger finale, Seska lures the crew into a Kazon trap, the Voyager is captured, and most of the principal characters a marooned on a desolate planet resembling a prehistoric Earth. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Oliver Stone, the most outspokenly political American filmmaker of the 1980s and '90s, directs this epic-length biography of Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the U.S., who was re-elected by a landslide in 1972, only to resign in disgrace two years later. Taking a non-linear approach, Nixon jumps back and forth between many different periods and events, from Nixon's strict upbringing at the hands of his Quaker mother, through the many peaks and valleys of his political career, to his downfall in the wake of the Watergate scandal. The facts of his life are blended with supposition and speculation to create a portrait that is often critical of the man's policies but displays an unexpected compassion toward his failings as a human being. Anthony Hopkins stars as Nixon, Joan Allen plays his long-suffering wife Pat, Mary Steenburgen portrays his mother Hannah, Bob Hoskins is cast as J. Edgar Hoover, Powers Boothe plays Alexander Haig, Paul Sorvino portrays Henry Kisinger, and Ed Harris plays E. Howard Hunt. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

While tracking down a group of Maquis terrorists, the crew of the starship Voyager is caught in a freak plasma storm and hurtled some 75,000 light years from Starfleet Command -- and thus begins the first episode, and the seven-season saga, of Star Trek: Voyager. Upon realizing her plight, Voyager captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) also discovers that a being called the Caretaker has brought both her ship and the Maquis vessel to an uncharted patch of galaxy known as the Gamma Quadrant, in hopes of finding someone who can help him keep his promise to protect a race known as the Ocampa. Before long, Janeway's crew and the Maquis must do battle with a common enemy, the Kazon, and in the ensuing battle the Caretaker dies. It is now up to Janeway and Maquis leader, Chakotay (Robert Beltran), to work together in harmony, with Chakotay becoming Voyager's first officer, and another Maquis warrior, the half-Klingon, half-human B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Biggs-Dawson), taking over as Janeway's chief engineer. Also added to the "Voyager" roster are a brace of Gamma Quadrant aliens, the Ocampan Kex (Jennifer Lien) and the Talaxian Neelix (Ethan Phillips), not to mention the ship's new Doctor (Robert Picardo), actually a holographic human manifestation of the vessel's emergency medical computer program. Rounding out the main cast is Janeway's veteran comrade-in-arms Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill); Kim (Garrett Wang), a green rookie fresh from Starfleet Academy; and the Vulcan Tuvok (Tim Russ),who had signed on the Maquis ship as a Federation spy. Season one of Star Trek: Voyager finds Janeway simultaneously trying to fulfill the Caretaker's promise and to safely guide her crew back to Starfleet Command in the Alpha Quadrant. The season's slam-bang finale is dictated by the treachery of Voyager crew person Seska (Martha Hackett), who turns out to be loyal only to the Kazon. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Bugsy is a character study of mobster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel wrapped up in a gangster movie. Siegel (Warren Beatty in a flashy performance) arrives in California in the Forties, assigned to oversee the L.A. rackets. He is quickly seduced by both the glamour of Hollywood and actress Virginia Hill (Annette Bening), whom he romances despite being unable to leave his wife and children. Siegel soon has a vision to transform a barren stretch of Nevada desert into an oasis of gambling and entertainment -- the seeds from which Las Vegas was sown. Funded by his gangster bosses, including Meyer Lansky (Ben Kingsley), the flamboyant Siegel sees his budget soar past its original $6 million, a problem compounded by the fact that Virginia has embezzled $2 million of it. In trouble with his superiors, Siegel flies back to L.A. to face the music, telling Virginia to keep the money. He would not live to see his dream of Las Vegas come true. The film is fast-paced and well-directed by Barry Levinson, with an intelligent script by James Toback and excellent support from Kingsley and Harvey Keitel as gangster Mickey Cohen. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Marcus De Leon directed this standard erotic thriller for Roger Corman's Concorde Pictures. Sexy Julie Carmen stars as Teresa Bozman, wife of Jake (Guy Boyd), a sadistic bar-owner in East Los Angeles. When a handsome singer named Tony Montero (Robert Beltran) is hired, his music boosts the club's business and steals Teresa's heart. Together, they plot to kill Jake and live happily ever after, but the usual complications ensue. A mostly Latino cast and authentic locations give this film more credibility than Dan Golden's tiresome redneck remake (also for Concorde), Saturday Night Special (1994). ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
