Quotes:

Heather Rumley: You're ruining my life!

Doherty & Blanc were Two Hot Stars

Always enjoy Shannen Doherty(Heather Romley),"The Rendering",'02, and in this picture Heather is portrayed as a very talented young girl who continues to be talented in almost everything that she does. However, in her past there was a contest that she won when she was very very young and the loser just doesn't seem to forget the horrible loss. There is lots of action through out the entire film with even a murder thrown into the picture. Jennifer Blanc (Zanne Armstrong or Boxer),"Quality Time",'04 gave an outstanding performance and had some very warm and steamy romantic scenes which seemed to over shadow Heather and her love life. There is lots of action and eventually you can almost determine just how the film will end, and then it cuts off and ENDS. Shannen Doherty & Jennifer Blanc were simply fantastic in their acting roles.
