More power to women on HBO

Boys On The Side sees Whoopi Goldberg playing a lesbian singer who goes on a road trip with best pals Drew Barrymore and Mary Louise Parker.

Grace Of My Heart showcases Illeana Douglas in a riveting turn as singer Carole King. In Eye For An Eye, Sally Field more than holds her own against a psycho played by a menacing Kiefer Sutherland who killed her daughter.
