Stone Cold

Candace Pennington (Alexis Dziena) has been raped. Her parents Margaret (Victoria Snow) and Chuck (Ralph Small) drag her down to the police chief, Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck), and demand to know what he is going to do about it. But Candace’s mother has washed her, redressed her and won’t take her to the hospital for fear of scandal. Mom swats her when she won’t talk about what happened but mom doesn’t want the story to get around. How do you think such a situation will get resolved? Yeah, I think so too.

The Jewel of the Nile

Truth is a slippery topic. Often it depends upon your point of view. There is an old maxim that says something like “history is written by the victors.” Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) learns all about it after being lured to write a puff piece about a middle eastern ruler by the name of Omar (Spiros Focas). She discovers that he is a brutal theocrat and that, until she agrees to finish the article to introduce him to the world as a benevolent, enlightened ruler working to unite the Arab world, she’ll languish in prison. Enter her somewhat world weary swain Jack Colton (Michael Douglas).

Panic Room

How safe is safe? Newly divorced Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) and her daughter Sarah (Kristen Stewart) think that having a panic room in her 24,000 sq. ft., 6 bedroom new house is a bonus. When a trio of bandits breaks in, the two of them find it handy for safety. But it becomes a prison when the baddies flash her notes that what interests them is in the room and they’re not leaving until they get it.
