Editor's Note
COP LAND - In the idyllic bedroom community of Garrison, New Jersey, a community of NYPD officers takes refuge away from the big city's troubles while still enjoying all the kickbacks, cover-ups, and mob-owned banking privileges from across the river. But the code of silence is tested when an off-duty, drunk rookie cop from their ranks wrongfully kills two black men and the local sheriff begins to investigate. COP LAND is an ambitious ensemble drama notable for eliciting a strong performance (and a 40-lb weight gain) from Sylvester Stallone.ONE GOOD COP - A widowed policeman is killed in the line of duty, leaving behind three little girls. His best friend, a dedicated, extremely honest NYPD detective, decides to take in the orphaned girls and raise them with the help of his wife. The detective quickly discovers how hard it is to sustain a family on a policeman's salary. Desperately in need of a larger place to live and under fire from unsympathetic social workers who want to remove the girls to what they consider a more suitable home, the well-meaning cop becomes involved in an unsavory scheme to raise extra money.
