In the deep South, African-American single father Gaten (Ernie Hudson) and his ten year old daughter Clover (Zelda Harris) form a tight knit family, where they own an orchard. Gaten is recently widowed when he marries Sara Kate (Elizabeth McGovern) a white woman. His family is less than happy about this development, but when tragedy strikes and Clover is placed in Sara Kate’s care, everyone is forced to put their differences aside.
There’s nothing wrong with the premise of this film, it sets up a core conflict and the resolution is heartening. A cameo by Loretta Devine (Waiting to Exhale) as Gaten’s sister Everline serves to spice things up. However, weakness in writing leave the viewer to notice other things, like how the film is highly stylized in an early nineties fashion, how Sara Kate spends far too much time yelling “Gaten! Gaten!

Roswell, N.M. - The aliens have returned! Maybe not returned so much as finally arrived on home video with the release of Dark Skies: The Declassified Complete Series on DVD. Startling enough, the show only lasted a season on NBC in 1996. It gained a large cult with an alternative history of America in the ’60s. “History as we know it is a lie” was the startling series slogan. John Loengard (Eric Close) went from plucky congressional aide to a member of the ultra creepy Majestic 12 run by Frank Bach (J.T. Walsh) to battle the alien menace. An equally bizarre transformation happens to his girlfriend, Kimberly Sayers (Megan Ward). She gets alien abducted and returned. The perky perfect sixties gal goes to dark side. Can he bring her back?
