Teresa, amiga de la muerta, quien a sido llamada a declarar por haber sido la última persona que vió con vida a la joven asesinada. Esto contrasta con el comportamiento de la hermana menor de la víctima, quien en el colmo del cinismo está tratando de hacerse publicidad y de aparecer en televisión hablando de la muerte de su hermana. The lifeless body of a young woman who has been shot is found in an abandoned car. Upon receiving the tragic news, her parents go to the police station and are favorably impressed with the gentle and kind behavior of Teresa, their daughter's friend, who was the last to see the young woman alive. This contrasts with the shameless behavior of the victim's younger sister, who is intent on getting publicity and trying to get on television to speak of her sister's death.  (less)

or Laurel and Hardy's (not that Farley and Spade are in their league). In Tommy Boy , Farley plays the ne'er-do-well son of a successful auto parts manufacturer (Brian Dennehy). When Dad drops dead just after marrying a young new wife, it's up to Tommy (aided by sarcastic bean-counter Spade) to rescue the company by taking over for his father. Black Sheep features a slightly different plot: This time, Spade is hired by Farley's brother (Tim Matheson), a candidate for governor, to keep Farley (an accident-prone buffoon) out of sight until after the election. Farley has a likable quality that is exploited by continuous slapstick centered on his clumsiness, both physically and socially. --Marshall Fine  (less)

Rudd), a daughter-in-law he loves too much (Katharine Ross), a resentful grandson (Robert Duvall), and a devoted great-granddaughter (Kathleen Beller) to whom he bequeaths most of his fortune. In the midst of all these family squabbles is racing enthusiast Angelo Perino (a very young Tommy Lee Jones) whom the old man hires to build a revolutionary, ecologically advanced car which will be called The Betsy after his great-granddaughter. Angelo builds The Betsy (the car), seduces Betsy (the great-granddaughter), and even has a fling with Duvall's mistress, played by the haughty Lesley-Anne Down. In order to boil down Robbins's plot-heavy novel to 125 minutes, some of the connecting tissue has been lost. But Olivier is a grand old ham and Jones shows early on why he was destined to be a star. Lavishly produced, The Betsy has been formatted for the small screen, which doesn't allow us to fully enjoy the elaborate sets. But it's a chewy two hours of pulp, nonetheless. --Richard Natale  (less)

world's oceans. But this particular voyage represents a far more personal odyssey -- it gives John and Rae the opportunity to soothe the memory of that single rainy night many months before when a a devastating auto crash took the life of the couple's young son -- and almost killed Rae as well. Suddenly, John and Rae's private, healing cruise is interrupted when they spot a dinghy being furiously rowed away from a large schooner lying some half-mile to starboard. The other ship -- named the Orpheus -- shows no other signs of life. The sole occupant of the dinghy is Hughie Warriner (Billy Zane), a frightened young American who pours out his ordeal to the rescuers -- his shipmates have all died, the apparent victims of food poisoning. But Ingram, skeptical of the stranger's tale, rows out to the schooner and discovers that something much more ominous and horrifying may have occurred on the Orpheus. Heart pounding, John races back up onto the crippled schooner's deck and stares in anguish toward his own boat. On deck, Rae is screaming and Hughie is at the helm of the Saracen, steering her under full power -- in the opposite direction! Thus begins the strange tale of Dead Calm, a drama of terror, suspense and courage from director Phillip Noyce and co-producer George Miller, co-creator of the famed Mad Max film series and director of The Witches Of Eastwick.  (less)
