Empty Cradle (1993) |
The fear Rebecca Soladay's script really touches is to cast a dark net over the given safety a pregnant woman feels when she enters a delivery room. Talk about untapping basic anxieties and worst-case scenarios. - Variety

Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas (1994) |
Writer Mark Fink does offer a few laughs (mostly from Diamond's loopy, dazed demeanor), but director Jeff Melman can't salvage the ragged material. - Variety
