Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Forever Ambergris - Veteran combat photographer Dalton (Roger Daltry) shot his way to the top. He develops a negative attitude, however, when rookie cameraman Isaac (Steve Buscemi) moves into the foreground. Dalton plots some trick photography to wipe Isaac out of the picture. But Dalton's not smiling at his own fatal photo finish.
The Trap - Debt-ridden Lou (Bruce McGill) figures he'd be better off dead - that's the only way he can get his hands on his half-million dollar life insurance policy. He bullies his wife (Teri Garr) into his game of deadly deception. But when things aren't "executed" as planned, Lou - instead of getting away with murder - digs his own grave.
Beauty Rest - Aspiring actress Helen (Mimi Rogers) is tired of getting screwed out of parts by her roommate (Kathy Ireland), who's sitting pretty on the casting couch of every director in town. So Helen arranges a surprise slumber party that'll let her rising star roomie get plenty of rest-in-peace. Helen then takes her place as the rigged winner of a to-die-for pageant where it truly is "what's inside that counts."

By A Customer

THE SECOND STORY, BRILLIANTLY DIRECTED BY MICHAEL J. FOX, IS THE BEST ON THE TAPE. IT HAS A GREAT STORY, AND IS WONDERFULLY DONE. THE OTHERS ARE OKAY, BUT NOT AS GOOD END

4.0 out of 5 stars Kathy And Mimi Are Fantastic! And Great Directing From Fox!, June 5, 2000

By	Brian Blankenship (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

The first episode on the tape Forever Ambergris is very dull and uninteresting, but the second and third stories are the best. Michael J. Fox does a great job directing the "Trap" the story is also well written and has a unexpected twisted ending."Beauty Rest" features two of the world's most beautiful actresses in Mimi Rogers and Kathy Ireland and for that reason it is the best story on the tape.
