Bangkok Hilton (1989)
Overlooked
I won't drivel on... blah blah, best TV miniseries I've ever seen... blah blah, Nicole Kidman's best work... all the other reviews say that too. What the others haven't mentioned is the emotionally draining, nerve-wracking and brilliant performance given by little Aussie actress Joy Smithers as Mandy Engels, the woman who befriends Katrina in prison. Very, very impressive.
Take It Easy (1999)
Hmmm.
A little bit chunky, a little bit boring... Take It Easy has some good moments, and has a vaguely interesting premise, but if it had taken much more than half an hour, I would have turned it off.
If you come to it, as I did, for Buffy The Vampire Slayer's Amber Benson, then don't hold your breath. She has a very minor role in the film - I believe her part consists of about 45 seconds of screen time and two lines. Hey, we all have to start somewhere, don't we!
