For Sarah (Robin Tunney), moving to Los Angeles is just another chance to be an outsider. She is all alone among the tightly-knit student body of St. Benedict's Academy ... until she meets three young women who also have found themselves banished to the outermost reaches of high school's inevitable pecking order. Nancy (Fairuza Balk), Bonnie (Neve Campbell) and Rochelle (Rachel True) will never fit in with the "in" crowd. They barely fit in with each other. But together with Sarah, their outer and inner lives are about to change in ways they never suspected. They are about to learn that being an outsider has its own kind of power. They are about to learn The Craft.
Sarah, who displays a knack for "the craft" is recruited to join the secret circle formed by Nancy, Bonnie and Rochelle, thus completing the four corners necessary for magic: north (earth), south (fire), east (air) and west (water). What begins as evocative but ineffective spells become, with the addition of their new member, a powerful new way to get what the girls had long been denied: attention, praise and love. When their spells magically and mysteriously begin to work, the coven of teenage witches are suddenly able to exact vengeance on classmates, parents and boyfriends. |

She's a woman with high standards in a world of lowest common denominators. She's not about to waste her time with a man unless he has a really big one and knows how to use it -- a brain, that is. It's been a long time since Barb's been on anybody's side other than her own. But when she wants to, she can more than match any man. There's nothing she can't handle. You can blast her and beat her, slash her and shoot her, drag her and diss her. But, whatever you do, just don't call her "babe..." |

Reverend Fred Sultan. Rich, powerful and dressed like a prince, the bigger-than- life Sultan is nothing less than the American Dream personified -- the ultimate capitalist.But despite his hustling and financial wizardry, Sultan's Vegas fiefdom is fading as boxing attendance is dwindling, along with public interest. The problem, according to Sultan, is that people are tired of paying money to see 'brothers' beating up 'brothers'.
Sultan finds his Great White Hope in a would-be contender, Terry Conklin, who is the long-haired front man for a rock band named Massive Head Wound. But Terry's got one thing going for him, besides the color of his skin: he actually bested the champ in an amateur bout many years earlier.
The Fight of the Century--of the Millennium--is set. "Irish" Terry Conklin vs. James "The Grim Reaper" Roper. Is it Hope? Or is it Hype? Either way, the boxing world is about to take it on the chin. |

Undeniably guilty of a heinous crime, convicted killer Cindy Liggett (Sharon Stone) has been sitting on Death Row in the state penitentiary for 12 years, waiting for her much delayed date with the executioner. Now, after numerous stays from the Governor, and false hopes for her future, Cindy is finally ready to face the inevitable. But as the clock ticks on, and her days dwindle down, the one thing she is not prepared for is the unexpected relationship she develops with Rick Hayes (Rob Morrow), a novice bureaucrat from the Clemency Board who becomes convinced that misjudgments in Cindy's original defense trial led to an unjust sentence. |
