Forever Lulu 2000  R, 99 min.
Genre: Comedy
aka: Along for the Ride
Director: John Kaye

Lulu (Melanie Griffith), a schizophrenic, leaves the mental hospital and shows up at her ex-boyfriend's, Ben (Patrick Swayze), home. She convinces him that they had a baby from their affair 17 years ago, and it is time to reunite with the son. Ben, unhappily married, agrees, and off they head to Wisconsin. But Ben's wife (Penelope Ann Miller) decides to head there too to see what's going on, including whether or not there is a son or just a rekindling of an affair. This comedy/drama is disappointing, especially considering the cast.

 What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? 1991  TV, 96 min.
Genre: Drama / Thriller
aka: What Ever Happened to...?
Director: David Greene
Cast: Vanessa Redgrave, Lynn Redgrave, John Glover, Bruce A. Young, Amy Steel, John Scott Clough, Samantha Jordan, Erinn Canavan, J. Michael Flynn, Vinny Argiro, Pat Skipper, Barry Dennen, Alexandra Johnson, Bradley Mott, Beans Morocco
In this made-for-TV remake of the 1962 classic, Vanessa Redgrave takes on the role of invalid, ex-film star Blanche, and Lynn Redgrave plays her jealous, torturing, younger sister, Jane. Jane had gained stardom as the child star "Baby Jane," but her career then faded. Blanche, on the other hand, as an adult rose to success as a film star but was severely injured in an accident and has been paralyzed ever since. Jane tortures and plots to murder Blanche while planning a comeback in the show business world with help from musician Billy Cork (John Glover) who is destined–because of Jane–to meet a tragic end.
