After being drawn to and old shed in the park, Lisa's mother, Ellen (Cheryl Ladd), learns that this shed was the setting for a horrific crime 30 years ago, where a young girl disappeared, and her step-father & mother were murdered. The surviving family member, an 11 year-old named Buddy, was plzced in a foster home far from Haven Lakel.

But Lisa's subsequent visions reveal that Buddy has returned with a false identity, an he is bent on killing just as he was 30 years ago.

With clues of Buddy's identity pointing to everyone from her mother's fiance to the Chief of Police, Lisa discovers that the killer is someone she knows and trusts, but who wants her dead because of what she can reveal.

My Thoughts:
This is a movie I bought blind earlier this month when I found it for sale really cheap ($3.81). I didn't know anything about the movie before buying it. But a little research online showed me this is a TV movie from the mid '90s. But that is ok... I do enjoy TV movies at times. And I did enjoy this one... but not quite as much as I have most the TV movies in my collection. I just found this one a little slow at times.

Enjoyable Duke film which sees his two young boys getting mixed up with a gang of bank robbers led by bad ass George Kennedy.

Good story and some fun along the way. There are so many things to admire about John Wayne. His presence and swagger, his macho confidence and even his style but I've noted from the last couple of his movies that I've watched is that he is can also be a real smartass too!  Some of his biting quips and insults are classic.

Neville Brand is great as the half-breed tracker Litefoot. He too is very humorous and my oh my what big teeth he has!!

Been a long time since my last view of this but I hope to revisit it sooner rather than later for my next viewing.

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom

Star Trek: The Next Generation
6.25 Timescape
Writer: Brannon Braga (Writer)
Director: Adam Nimoy
Cast: Patrick Stewart (Capt. Jean-Luc Picard), Jonathan Frakes (Cmdr. William Riker), LeVar Burton (Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge), Michael Dorn (Lieutenant Worf), Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher), Marina Sirtis (Counselor Deanna Troi), Brent Spiner (Lt. Commander Data), Michael Bofshever (Romulan / Alien), John DeMita (Romulan), Joel Fredericks (Engineer)

The Enterprise is frozen in time together with a Romulan Bird of Prey. At first glance it looks like those two where in battle. But is this really the case? Picard and company, arriving from a seminar, have to investigate. I like this episode. You have to suspend disbelieve dealing with this premise, but if you do, it is an enjoyful episode.
