Summoned to help their peddler friend Salmoneus (Robert Trebor) prevent a war, Xena (Lucy Lawless) and Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) find themselves in the middle of a beauty pageant -- organized by the selfsame Salmoneus. At first convinced that it's all a false alarm, our heroines soon learn that a war is indeed on the verge of breaking out between three local regents, each of whom has entered a sexy contestant in the pageant. Realizing that an unknown party is trying to foment the hostilities, Xena "dresses down" to pose as a contestant, with Gabrielle impersonating her sponsor. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In this romantic thriller, Cassidy Rae stars as Amy Miller, a sexy, virginal high school cheerleader and the current object of Derek Bradshaw's fantasies. A slick 33-year-old lawyer, Derek (Vincent Irizarry) is the epitome of creepiness: a straight-faced liar, a sneaky philanderer, and magnetically charismatic. Derek picks his prey and seduces Amy with romantic evenings and extravagant gifts much too adult for an 18-year-old. Amy's support system falters as she withdraws from her friends and her hard-working single mother (Sherry Hursey), while a mystery stalker repeatedly threatens Amy's life. Is it Derek's suspicious wife Elizabeth (Jamie Rose), Amy's best friend Dana (Ashlee Levitch), a jealous ex-boyfriend, or some other anonymous competitor? When Amy finally acknowledges Derek's duplicity and attempts to end the affair, he won't let her off that easily, and the threats escalate. ~ Lisa Kropiewnicki, All Movie Guide

This effective made-for-TV supernatural thriller (based on the novel Virgin by James Patterson) involves the travails of a Catholic priest (Anthony John Denison) who is ordered by his superiors to investigate the prospect of two separate virgin births -- one of which will bring the Son of God into the world, the other the Son of Satan. Unfortunately, there is no overt indication as to which child is which. Omen-style apocalyptic portents abound as the forces of Evil throw a variety of obstacles in Denison's path, even possessing the soul of the nun (Sela Ward) who is assisting him. Potent, gripping stuff -- and very intense for a TV movie -- this retains much of the metaphysical punch of its source material. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
