The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer (2003) 17% “The project is an elegantly staged and crisp haunted house primer that could have easily popped up as an A&E production or, minus a few gimmicks, even on PBS.” – Variety Jan 15, 2020 Full Review Stepsister From Planet Weird (2000) “"Stepsister" definitely has that certain goofy charm that makes so much of Disney's fare light and likable: everyone smiles, nobody gets hurt, and fantasy looms large.” – Variety Sep 11, 2019 Full Review The Triangle (2001) “A lifeless ghost story dressed up in paranormal overkill, TBS' The Triangle can't overcome a leaden screenplay and awkward plotting.” – Variety Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Broken Silence (2001) “James Moll and the Shoah Visual History Foundation bring to light heartbreaking memories with the utmost class and care in Cinemax's five-part Reel Life docu series Broken Silence.” – Variety Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Crossed Over (2002) “Life lessons and the value of humanity are the intended points of call here, but the gorgeous guards, the yoga and a "game day" in jail (yes, there's a race) highlight a new low in made-for programming.” – Variety Nov 7, 2018 Full Review Collected Stories (2002) “The desperate need to connect -- with art, with artists -- is beautifully expressed in PBS' presentation of Collected Stories.” – Variety Nov 7, 2018 Full Review Sins of the Father (2002) 50% “Perfs are aces all around, with both Sizemore and Jenkins showcasing genuinely pent-up hostility, rage and confusion.” – Variety Nov 6, 2018 Full Review The Princess and the Marine (2001) “Anyone who has followed this complicated courtship via newsmags and press clippings will quickly realize that NBC has put aside the intricacies and settled instead for a simple fable targeted to the Britney Spears set.” – Variety Oct 19, 2018 Full Review These Old Broads (2001) “These Old Broads is simple, nasty fun.” – Variety Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Child Star: The Shirley Temple Story (2001) “Completely edgeless, ABC's Child Star: The Shirley Temple Story steers clear of investigative bio techniques and focuses instead on pie-eyed wonder, cutesy outfits and aren't-I-sweet numbers.” – Variety Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Back to the Secret Garden (2000) “Fantasy feels forced in Showtime's Back to the Secret Garden.” – Variety Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Return to Cabin by the Lake (2001) “USA's Return to Cabin by the Lake is nothing like its predecessor -- and that's a good thing.” – Variety Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Kiss My Act (2001) “A charming fusion of -- of all things -- Cyrano de Bergerac and Punchline, ABC's Kiss My Act clearly spotlights Camryn Manheim's ability to play a romantic lead with the best of 'em.” – Variety Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Au Pair II (2001) “Do Fox Family movies really need sequels? That question is answered quite clearly with Au Pair II, a limp second-go of the popular telepic that aired in 1999.” – Variety Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Louis L'Amour's Crossfire Trail (2001) 40% “The hero's mission is clear -- to protect and serve -- and Selleck conveys that with a silent strength.” – Variety Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Manhunter (1986) 94% “An unpleasantly gripping thriller that rubs one's nose in a sick criminal mentality for two hours.” – Variety Feb 13, 2001 Full Review What Lies Beneath (2000) 47% “Beneath raises the bar in some respects for future scarefests.” – theMet.net Jan 1, 2000 Full Review
