Stolen Babies (1993) EDIT “Though loaded with pat plotting, the TV movie does say a mouthful about what was happening secretly during the post-WWII period in Memphis and surrounding areas.” – Variety Oct 10, 2020 Full Review Family Pictures (1993) EDIT “Telefilm suffers from indulgent writing and, of all things, from the ordinariness of the characters.” – Variety Sep 26, 2020 Full Review The Last Hit (1993) EDIT “It may be strained, but it registers as a satisfying actioner.” – Variety Sep 26, 2020 Full Review Out Rage '69: The Question of Equality (1995) EDIT “Going back to 1965, Out Rage '69 describes the undercover lives of gays and lesbians as they slipped into anonymous bars and hid from vice cops, presented straight facades or accepted conformity.” – Variety Jun 9, 2020 Full Review Stephen King's 'The Langoliers' (1995) 48% EDIT “Pulling flesh-and-blood characters out of King's stick figures aboard an airplane zooming into a twilight zone, [Tom] Holland has turned "The Langoliers" into a TV grabber.” – Variety Jan 15, 2020 Full Review The Whipping Boy (1995) EDIT “The telefilm has charm as well as minor failings, and location filming in Germany and France were worth the trip. Lee Holdridge has supplied an often sonorous score, and tech credits are solid.” – Variety Oct 1, 2019 Full Review Nightjohn (1996) 100% EDIT “The sentiment's strong, [Carl] Lumbly and [Allison] Jones are convincing, and a trim Beau Bridges reveals the plantation owner as an heir who's doing what, for him, comes naturally.” – Variety Sep 27, 2019 Full Review The Four Diamonds (1995) EDIT “[Todd] Robinson's script, based on the late Chris Millard's own sad story - both as he wrote it in the fantasy and as he lived it out - retains striking clarity between the two tales, real and imaginary.” – Variety Sep 27, 2019 Full Review The Old Curiosity Shop (1995) EDIT “Credibly managing the period piece's texture and structure, [Kevin] Connor also makes Dickens' comical turns elicit laughs.” – Variety Sep 27, 2019 Full Review EDIT “The telefilm's wit, charm and innocence overcome any awkward passages, and the dialogue's clean and purposeful.” – Variety Sep 27, 2019 Full Review When a Stranger Calls Back (1993) 63% EDIT “The telefilm is a good rattler, despite some logic dropouts.” – Variety Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Barbarians at the Gate (1993) 71% EDIT “As a telefilm, Barbarians fascinates; as social commentary, it excels. Making an intricate business exercise both entertaining and engrossing takes lots of doing; it's handily accomplished here.” – Variety Mar 3, 2019 Full Review And the Band Played On (1993) 100% EDIT “As a TV movie about a highly sensitive subject, overall it's a moving experience.” – Variety Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Ned Blessing: The True Story of My Life (1992) EDIT “Like a long trail unwinding, the Old West actioner delivers an amusingly faultless, handsome hero.” – Variety Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Selected Exits (1993) EDIT “Alan Plater's fragmented adaptation of Gwyn Thomas' recollections is a letdown.” – Variety Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Spirits of the Rainforest (1993) EDIT “Spirits has been magnificently photographed, with sweeping shots of forest tops, curling rivers, rich jungle interiors -- and a tropical rain storm.” – Variety Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Based on an Untrue Story (1993) EDIT “Often on target, the two-hour spoof, lasting too long and covering too much territory, shrivels up in silliness.” – Variety Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Rio Shannon (1993) EDIT “Mysticism, faith, practicality and honor - things not usually broached in TV ventures - are mainstays in Linda Bergman's effective, if scattered, drama; vidpic's as courageous as the widow Cleary.” – Variety Mar 16, 2018 Full Review Last Light (1993) EDIT “Steven Weisberg's well-defined editing paces the worrisome vidpic, and Jude Cole's score reflects its core.” – Variety Mar 15, 2018 Full Review The American Clock (1993) EDIT “Arthur Miller's theatrical piece about the effects of the Depression has been turned into a striking TV experience by all hands concerned.” – Variety Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Night Owl (1993) EDIT “TV could use more such pleasures.” – Variety Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Marilyn & Bobby: Her Final Affair (1993) EDIT “Kennedy family members and admirers, Monroe worshipers and those longing for good, sound writing will be offended; that leaves an undemanding crowd of tabloid readers who'll be delighted at how the vidpic awkwardly tries tearing down its betters.” – Variety Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Body Bags (1993) 73% EDIT “None of the three playlets breaks barriers, and the writing's perfunctory, but the productions are good, the casting interesting.” – Variety Mar 15, 2018 Full Review Praying Mantis (1993) EDIT “There's little if any suspense.” – Variety Mar 15, 2018 Full Review The Tower (1993) EDIT “The Tower, gone amok under CAS' control, veers from hot to cold, and so does the script.” – Variety Mar 15, 2018 Full Review
