Oh boy, where to begin...
First off, it's a Lifetime Network movie, so you should know exactly what you're getting into when you turn to that channel. That being said, I never really sat through one of these long-winded diatribes before. You know right off the bat what's going to happen, and nothing comes as a surprise.
Elizabeth Berkley stars as the new teacher at some generic high school. Being young and attractive, she warrants the wrong kind of attention form some of her male students (and I think one of the girl students, too, but lesbianism is handled with graceful subtlety on Lifetime). After she begins tutoring one of her students, Josh, he becomes obsessed with her.
One thing leads to another, and Josh thinks they have something more than a teacher-student relationship. He forces a kiss on her in the hallway, then flips out and attacks her at home, ripping her shirt but nothing else.
Somehow, Josh's Dad and his lawyers are able to spin it as if it was the hot, young teacher was to blame for the whole thing. Then, the rest of the movie deals with her struggle to maintain her innocence.
You know what is going to happen. You know how it is going to end. Every single character looks plucked straight from the Big Book of Clichés; young, headstrong teacher, her doubting husband, her incompetent lawyer telling her to plead guilty, only one student who believes in her, the slimy cops and lawyers who are seemingly out to ruin one woman's life so some rich kid won't have to spend a month in juvenile hall. It is all so terribly predictable, and everyone acting in the film seems to know it, also.
I still don't get a few things, though. How on earth could those lawyers spin the facts to make Berkley seem like the predator? Wouldn't one tough (but effective) interrogation of Josh show what really happened? The characters seem to perpetuate on a different level where rational thinking and deductive logic make as much sense as looking for WMDs in Iraq (heh).
Now you understand my summary line. It is boring, stupid, pointless. I'm pretty sure these movies will serve as a backfire and hurt the reputation of women in the sense that they will always be viewed as the victim, and never the one who (gasp) is really guilty. Thank God I had three beers before sitting down in front of this one.

RAD....wow....17 years after it originally came out and it still remains one of the best films, most definitive films of a generation. Who will ever forget the stellar acting of Bill Allen, the luscious Lori Laughlin (speaking of oscars, where was hers for Casper 2? Huh?), and the amazing Bart Conner as THE Bart Taylor. Sure, a few elements might be a tad dated (They wouldn't call it Helltrack after 9/11, no siree bob!), but it still is just as good as the day it came out. A friend of mine were having a debate on which 80s film would stand the test of time...this or Raiders of the Lost Ark. Time will tell on that one.
Auto Focus is an excellent film by movie legend Paul Schrader that depicts the seedy private life of "Hogan's Heroes" star Bob Crane and his downfall that ultimately led to his death that is still shrouded in mystery.
Who killed Bob Crane? The movie does not answer that question, it doesn't even focus on that. Instead, the movie mainly depicts the relationship between Crane and cohort John Carpenter. As "Hogan's Heroes" ends it six-year stint, with Crane struggling to find work, he becomes enveloped in a shadowy world of pornography and promiscuousness. His other obsession, the home video recording frontier, becomes entangled within it all.
Greg Kinnear is top-notch as Bob Crane. I'm surprised he hadn't been nominated for his dead-on portrayal of the late TV star. Willem Dafoe, as always, does an excellent job, again begging the question "Why hasn't he won an Oscar yet?" The two have good chemistry on screen together, and the character development is well founded.
The movie is a definite recommend to any who like to see the underbelly world of Hollywood's drug and orgy culture and how it can absorb those who play with it. 3 and a 1/2 stars out of 4.
On a side note, for those who would like to know more about Crane's mysterious death, go rent the DVD. It contains a well-made documentary that delves into the investigation that sheds more light on the subject than the movie touches.
