Frequently given short shrift as a blue movie (which it is) and as mindless (which it isn't), director Adrian Lyne's follow-up to Flashdance (insert own joke here) is a thoughtful, smutty film about a bad sexual relationship. It follows the two-month affair between Elizabeth, an art-gallery dealer, and John, a Wall Street exec. The relationship spirals downward into raunchier sex (filmed, by the way, quite nicely) but principally is about two adults doing adult things but not acting anything like real adults. Attempts at actual human connection, about the longing to be "good," are present here and make this an above-average erotic film. Rourke is just honing his scumbag, bad-boy persona; but it doesn't overwhelm. Lots and lots of Kim Basinger. --Keith Simanton

5 out of 5 stars BDSM Movie.......2007-06-20

This is not your average soft porn - this movie is about a BDSM relationship. If you don't know what that stands for, this may not be the movie for you. If you do, this is one of the best you'll ever see. The seduction and the energy between these two is incredible. Kim Basinger's striptease, performed to Joe Cocker's "You Can Leave Your Hat On," is absolutely classic. They even managed to make the midnight snack scene hot, even though I kept thinking, "Who's going to clean that up?"

This film has a well-deserved cult status in the genre. If you're able to appreciate the beauty of this type of relationship, the only real disappointment is the way the movie ends.

If you love the story, I would also recommend the book this was based on, Nine and a Half Weeks: A Memoir of a Love Affair. However, if you find the ending of this movie depressing, you definitely don't want to see the sequel, Another 9 1/2 Weeks, unless you just can't get enough of Mickey Rourke scowling.

3 out of 5 stars Kim Basinger is so beautiful and Mickey's rugged, macho.......2007-05-23

pre-pro boxer face are very sexy indeed. My problem was with Elizabeth (Kim), with this type of encounter, either you're into it or your're not. Don't try to make it anything else than it is. Either enjoy it or leave. Which is what she did at the end. Once this type of relationship is exposed to light it dies, because it was all an illusion anyway. But very erotic. Enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars 9 1/2 Weeks.......2007-03-09

It was HOT! For couples who are feeling frisky, this might add a spark that'll lead to a flame. Kim was a her best, so was Mickey.

3 out of 5 stars Probably worth seeing once.......2007-01-23

The physical dvd itself is encased in a rather flimsy cardboard and plastic folder. The opening scenes looked like the transfer to dvd was made not from a master but rather from some well-worn film salvaged from a cellar. Beyond these superficial but distracting esthetics (I guess you get what you pay for) the movie starts out with reasonable characters and circumstances. The mental and emotional submission is gradual, calculated, and believable. Unfortunately, the movie seems to go downhill very quickly after Basinger's first violently achieved submission to Rourke -- or perhaps Basinger's plight just became too unmistakably sad and relevant for the movie's message to be well-received. Any possible maturation in Rourke's character as hinted by the end of the movie is weakly developed at best.

5 out of 5 stars when a man loves a woman.......2007-01-23

A perfect duet of Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger makes you forget about everything, lose your head and yourself in the world of love, passion and sexual fantasy.

Perfect style of movie, perfect match of actors - that makes big value of film. Very sensual movie that have nothing to do with all bad things that was said about it.

5 stars for actors, scenario, directing and perfect act.

Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie are rich, beautiful, and oh-so chic as denizens of the night. Dressed in sleek outfits and stylish sunglasses, they haunt rock & roll clubs on the prowl for young blood, whom they bring home to their impossibly luxurious mansion for a late-night snack. Being a vampire never looked more sexy, but there's a price: Bowie starts to age so fast he wrinkles up in the waiting room of a doctor's (Susan Sarandon) office. The agelessly elegant Deneuve, evoking Delphine Seyrig's Countess Bathory from Daughters of Darkness, is perfectly cast as a millenniums-old bloodsucker who seeks a new mate in Sarandon and seduces her in a sunlight-bathed afternoon of smooth, silky sex. Tony Scott's (Ridley's brother) directorial debut, adapted from the Whitley Strieber novel, revises the vampire myth with Egyptian inflections and removes all references to garlic and crosses and wooden stakes--these bloodsuckers can even walk around in the daylight--but the ties between blood and sex are as strong as ever. Scott's background as an award-winning commercial director is evident in every richly textured frame and his densely interwoven editing, but the moody atmosphere comes at the expense of dramatic urgency. At times the film is so languid it becomes mired in its hazy, impeccably designed visual style. In its own way, The Hunger is the perfect vampire film for the '80s, all poise and attitude and surface beauty. Sarandon talks candidly about the film in the documentary The Celluloid Closet. --Sean Axmaker

4 out of 5 stars very interesting take on vampires.......2007-06-28

I liked it.
It definitely was not the best vampire movie out there but it was very unique. It had some new elements of vampire mythology. I wish we had some fang action compared to the necklace weapon.
It was a bit dated...very 1980's like themes and visuals. The acting was good. Catherine Deneuve was perfect for the role. Icy, beautiful, and a tragic character. Bowie was not bad for the role. A young vampire worried about retaining his youth.
Seeing a young, very attractive Susan Sarandon was a kick. Some of the love scenes were nice and appropriate for a vampire movie. Vampires, blood, and sex. What more could you want?
Not five stars due to some slow pacing that just dragged at times throughout the movie. Like a previous critic noted...I was just waiting for Bonnie Tyler to come out singing "A Total Eclipse of the Heart" in the MTV music sets.
A good solid movie for an evening view. Tight 91 minutes run time too.

5 out of 5 stars Hungry for the Hunger.......2007-03-21

The best 80's vampire movie ever! All cast stars and cinematography. Musical score is brilliant and takes place in Manhattan. All the fond memories! The opening with Peter Murphy is the climatic point!

5 out of 5 stars A Mystery Solved . . ........2007-03-12

Vampire-enthusiasts who have read Strieber's novel, had a bit of a surprise when they saw Scott's "The Hunger." There were several liberties taken with the film. Still, on many occasions, adaptation for screen often includes sacrifices: especially for time and budget. We accept this. But . . . there was always something a little "off" here . . .

Let's start from the beginning. This film is exquisitely shot. The framing is simple and beautiful. In fact, the composition is almost breath-taking (still frames could appear as individual photographs suitable for display). Likewise, the acting is beyond reproach. Pitch-perfect. The costumes . . . unforgettable (the glasses alone)! The soundtrack is lush . . . in fact, when I first rented the film in middle-school I was inspired to explore classical music. Today, I have an extensive collection . . . and "Bach: Cello Suites 1-6" remains my favorite (thank you, Mr. Scott for such a wonderful gift).

The tale is both sensual and heart-breaking. **SPOILER (STOP READING NOW IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS FILM)**: Interestingly, Susan Sarandon describes the film as a metaphor for addiction. In the director's commentary she explains that her character would rather commit suicide than to live with an addiction to blood . . . with an addiction to death . . . to be a conduit of death. Does that comment sound odd considering how the film concludes?? Here is what happened . . .

The film was intended to end with the powerful death of Dr. Sarah Roberts. It was to be a story of sacrifice. BUT, as Scott and Sarandon reveal, "the powers that be" (their words) (meaning, the studio executives) demanded the tag at the end. You see, the studio was hoping for a sequel (and, obviously more money). So, the entire message of the film was destroyed . . . not to mention the attention to continuity was left in ruins. The bitterness in this commentary is justified. By insisting on a nonsensical ending ("So, how did Miriam's lovers decompose if she is still alive?!"), the film did not achieve the box-office success predicted . . . and the sequel was shelved.

So, why grant this film five stars? No matter what . . . this film is nearly as engrossing as the first time I saw it. It is, in my opinion, one of the most inventive, captivating vampire films ever made. And seeing Peter Murphy made me feel thirteen all over again . . . I think I'll break out some Bauhaus . . . right . . . now.

5 out of 5 stars Deneuve, Bowie, Sarandon, Bauhaus...sigh.......2007-02-28

A product of it's time, this is a super stylish meditation on aging, love, terminal illness and perfect hair. Bowie is gorgeous. Deneuve is ageless, stunning. Sarandon is nubile and sensual. Tony Scott's direction is ham handed at times, heavy on the early MTV style imagery: doves, sheer curtains, levelor blinds, et. al. If you can get past the fear that Bonnie Tyler may emerge from the shadows at any time to belt out 'Total Eclipse of the Heart', this is an effectively scary concoction, drawing parallels between the surprising aging of a vampire's lovers and the (at the time) burgeoning AIDS epidemic. All this and an opening with Bauhaus in a 'batcave' style bar! Look for Ann Magnuson and Willem Defoe in minor roles.

5 out of 5 stars i love it but i can see why others would hate it.......2007-01-10

this movie's really good, it's arty, scary, gothic, and to top it off bauhaus is in the begining. it's a really depressing movie but that doesn't take away from anything it just makes you love the movie that much more, but it's alittle hard to follow sometimes and the vampires don't really do anything cool (they feed by cutting you with there cute little necklesses and then sucking on the wound) but it still works. there's mad chicks making out too. i could see why some people would hate it though, it's slow sometimes, the artiness can be alittle much sometimes, and it's really really depressing. but if you're into that sort of thing this movie is perfect for you (i loved it i stole it from hollywood video and am still collecting late fees).

Description

Michael Douglas stars as Nick Curran, a tough but vulnerable detective. Sharon Stone costars as Catherine Tramell, a cold, calculating and beautiful novelist with an insatiable sexual appetite. Catherine becomes a prime suspect when her boyfriend is brutally murdered - a crime she described in her latest novel. Obsessed with cracking the case, Nick descends into San Francisco's forbidden underground where suspicions mount, bodies fall and he finds within himself an instinct more basic than survival.

4 out of 5 stars Next-gen smut.......2007-06-28

I had this classic on DVD, but I had to update of course. Michael Douglas's higher resolution middle-aged assets and Sharon Stone's younger assets are all on display in fine 1080p, complete with wrinkles and imperfections. Very fun movie still after 15 years. Can we say that about the stars' assets in 2007, though? The movie could look sharper, but there's only so much you can do with a movie from 1992.



The DTS HD audio track is excellent. All the moans, gasps, and curses are in a better bitrate (I guess?). The extras are in standard definition, I believe, but it's no big deal. Never watched them anyway.



Now bring on Showgirls, MGM!

3 out of 5 stars Overrated.......2007-06-12

Basic Instinct is a beautifully created film with a compelling story with enough twists and psychological bends to captivate you. Yet the sotry is bogged down with gratuitous sexual encounters that do not propel anywhere. The acting of Michael Douglas in this film was distractingly bad. He was pissed off throughout the film for no apparent reason, even in the love scenes. Sharon Stone player her character very well, a cold, manipulating and very attractive woman. Of course there isn't very many scenes without her exposing herself. The movie seems to rest on her nudity, not her acting. Overall, the movie seems to elevate the gratuitous sex over the actual plot. So while I was being drawn into the story, the movie also pulled me away from it leaving me desiring more form the story.

5 out of 5 stars BASIC INSTINCT A MUST HAVE ON BLU-RAY DISC.......2007-06-01

Basic Instinct has been released several times on DVD, but this is the first incarnation on High Definition disc. This BLU-RAY disc will probably be the best presentation of this film on video. Director Paul Verhoeven's raw, sexy, gory thriller is his best American film. The beautiful Sharon Stone gives her finest performance, and Michael Douglas, Jean Tripplehorn, George Dzundza are excellent. Composer Jerry Goldsmith contributes a magnificent score.

Only available on BLU-RAY HD with great picture and sound this disc is a knockout!

Two years before he let it all hang out in Boogie Nights, former rapper and Calvin Klein underwear model Mark Wahlberg played the psychotic boyfriend in this derivative but surprisingly effective thriller, aptly described by producer Brian Grazer as "Fatal Attraction for teens." Reese Witherspoon plays Nicole Walker, the unwitting teenager who gets the hots for David McCall (Wahlberg). David only seems like a nice guy until he gets upset by the girl's overly protective father. That's when hell breaks loose and the love-struck Romeo turns into a deadly threat who just won't go away. You'd think this kind of material would be beneath the talents of a fine director like James Foley (whose credits include At Close Range and Glengarry Glen Ross), but Foley gives the film just the right blend of style and tension to match Wahlberg's breakthrough role as an all-too-believable teenage maniac. You might feel silly afterwards, but don't be surprised if you find yourself getting caught up in the expertly manipulative suspense. --Jeff Shannon

when watching this really good movie, you realize just how old it is. william petersen for starters just makes you want to watch him as grissom on csi, wahlberg straight off of calvin klein billboards and witherspoon centuries before winning her oscar for walk the line. well worth the watch it keeps you in the whole time.

3 out of 5 stars Exciting, ultraviolent and way over the top.......2007-04-20

Neither Mark Wahlberg, Reese Witherspoon, "CSI" star William Petersen nor "Fraser" girlfriend Amy Brenneman had hit their stride in TV and movies when this 1996 production was released, leaving only Hollywood bad girl Alyssa Milano as a name star in this teen version of "Fatal Attraction" that also mixes some affect from both the original and remake of "Cape Fear".

Wahlberg, who until this time had been known as rapper Mark E. Mark and a pinup underwear model, plays a psycho that matches physical skill with mental aptitude to alternately charm and terrorize high schooler Witherspoon, dad Peterson, and stepmom Brenneman. His role is metaphoric to the role Glenn Close played in "Fatal Attraction" while dad Peterson figures out right away he's a bad guy and warns daughter and wife of his bad deeds to come.

The film travels a predictable path to an apocalyptic closing scene where Wahlberg and his gang of four seek revenge on Peterson, who trashed their home. They come equipped with guns, other weapons and psychic terror to carry out their revenge...only to learn the family lives in an impregnable home. As you may guess, it turns out not to be impregnable after all. The movie closes with many scenes of ultraviolence where the ending is just as predicatable as the rest of the story.

What characterizes this film is its incredible violence. In one scene, a child of about 10 or 12 runs over a bad guy with a car. In another scene, stepmom Brenneman drills a hole through a bad guy's hand with a handheld motorized drill. Another time teen Witherspoon stabs her former boyfriend with a jagged edged piece of wood, leaving a gaping hole in his back. If this isn't enough, there is an animal beheading in the flick.

This is an exciting and involving film but its copycat story and level of violence work against its value as art. While there is a lot of shock value to keep you riveted to the screen, it become increasingly more over the top as it goes on. In that respect it reminded me of the 1979 opus "Fury", where scenes of incredible violence punctuated the final 30 minutes and essentially changed the value of the film.

"Fear", too, is a throwback to 1970s slasher and hate filled movies and operates in the same horizontal plane. It pretends to be a teen version of "Fatal Attraction" with some of the tension of "Cape Fear" but is actually more akin to "The Hills Have Eyes" with violent criminals taking the place of "The Hills'" flesh eating wackos. Meanwhile, Mark Wahlberg's psycho has none of the artistry that Robert Mitchum and Robert DeNiro displayed in the original and remade "Cape Fear".

I think it a good idea to show some fear before buying this and bringing it home if you have children under age 17. If you are a teen and/or want a cheap thrill, excitement and violence, this is your cup of tea.

5 out of 5 stars Real Cool!!!!!.......2007-04-10

For some odd reason,just watched this for the first time on TV,a month ago.I am a big fan of Wahlberg and loved it. Purchased the DVD,at a local entertainment store. If you like Wahlberg or any other cast member and a fan of suspense,this is for you. Check it out!!!!!

It's easy to identify the biggest attraction of Killing Me Softly: two fetching actors (Heather Graham, Joseph Fiennes) and lots of nudity--especially in the unrated version. It's harder to choose the bigger liability: the dialogue howlers (as Fiennes binds Graham in ropes, she says, "Sometimes I feel like I don't know you") or the incredibly obvious solution to the big mystery. The story is an unofficial update of Hitchcock's Suspicion: a new wife wonders whether her unbelievably charismatic husband might be a murderer. The Chinese filmmaker Chen Kaige (Farewell My Concubine) turns out to be exactly the wrong director for this overheated slice of l'amour fou in London, but with the hopeless pairing of Graham and Fiennes as the passionate lovers, he didn't have much of a chance. A nicely romantic Patrick Doyle score is the only reason not to hit the Mute button and enjoy the visuals. --Robert Horton

4 out of 5 stars 4 Stars for a Heather Graham fan........2007-03-20

Yes, just if you really like Heather Graham it is worth 4 stars. This is part of that weird generation of movies with famous Hollywood actresses (Nicole Kidman, Meg Ryan, Halle Berry, etc being NAKED on screen, and by naked I also mean strong sexual situations, not only a shower peek. On the other hand this movie lacked a good Director and it looks like a TV movie or at best a Cinemax production.

4 out of 5 stars Watch it with the sound off¡¡¡.......2006-11-26

Heather is unbeliveble: a beeeeauty, and a good actress. A real strawberry. On the other side is Joseph Finnies. Joseph. Yeap. He's one of the worst actors I ever seen, I can't belive it, seems like a joke, a bad one. A real banana.
The movie is horrible, don't have any sense, the plot seems to be wright by a stupid. But you could watch it without sleep because Heather, who worth the four stars by herself.

3 out of 5 stars HO-HUM.......2006-09-02

A sufficiency of steam, but far from one of Zalman King's best. I agree that the story line was pretty weak.

5 out of 5 stars killing me softly.......2006-07-27

it was great and i recommend it tp people who love passion movies

4 out of 5 stars NICE!!!.......2006-04-05

"Killing Me Softly" is one of those movies that you can't help but like despite the uneven plot and silly twists that come with this kind of movie. Not made for serious film watchers and critics, this movie is more for the MTV generation and is in the same league of "Wild Things" and "Cruel Intentions".
However, as perverted as this may sound, this film easily features some of the best sex scenes ever to be captured in a commerical film. Heather Graham plays Alice. Alice is an American living in England who designs websites and CD roms for a living and lives with Jake. She loves Jake and feels comfortable around him, but overall she's not satisfied. Then in a few seconds her life changes. While crossing a street, she catches the eye of Adam (Joseph Fiennes) and before they've barely uttered a word they're at his apartment having passionate sex. Soon after, she leaves Jake and moves in with Adam and soon after that...She marries him. Everything's great for a while, until disturbing things begin to happen. She recieves letters, meets a woman who claims that Adam raped her, and finds letters from a lover of Adam's who has disappeared. If you have any knowledge of movies, you can pretty much see where this is going. Wife is scared of husband and tries to unravel whether her husband really is a murderer and is simply not satisfied with what she finds, so she delves deeper into the mystery only to discover something a bit more disturbing. Simply insert a couple different names and you have a story that (for the most part) has been told several times before. But, I hate to admit it but I did like this movie and it was worth the 96 minutes I spent watching it. While it's not a classic piece of cinema, it's entertaining. B+

After her success with Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone opted for familiar territory with this campfest that purports to be a sexualized thriller about voyeurism but in reality is more of an excuse to get Stone and costar William Baldwin out of their clothes. Rear Window it ain't. Stone plays it drab and quiet as a successful career woman on the rebound from a bad marriage who moves into a mysterious Manhattan high-rise. Once there, she discovers that she has a few admirers: a hunky and enigmatic neighbor (Baldwin), a popular writer of crime novels (Tom Berenger), and someone who seems to enjoy watching her every move on the building-wide surveillance system. And is one of them the serial killer who's stalking the comely female tenants? Scripted by the erstwhile Joe Eszterhas (Basic Instinct and Jagged Edge), Sliver follows the standard Eszterhas plot line of a protagonist suspecting that his or her lover may or may not be a vicious killer, the tension mounting as clue upon clue is discovered. Unlike both Instinct or Edge, though, Sliver delivers little suspense, thanks in part to a reshot ending that changed the original identity of the killer in the Ira Levin novel and confounded students of rational thought. However, if you're looking for an unintentionally funny thriller with loads of extraneous nudity, Sliver is an enjoyably huge hunk of cheese. --Mark Englehart

Product Description

Young publishing executive Carly (Stone) takes an apartment in an exclusive "sliver" building in New York, only to learn that the previous tenant, who bore a great resemblance to Carly, died in a mysterious fall from the apartment balcony. When other tenants of the building begin to die likewise mysteriously, Carly begins to suspect that a killer may be inhabiting the building and that it may be either Zeke (Baldwin), the voyeuristic building owner with whom she's become involved romantically, or Jack (Berenger), a mystery writer with a suspicious quality.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars WOW! WOW! WOW!.......2007-04-03

What a great movie! Erotic and scary at the same time. Talk about the ultimate in voyeuristic tendencies. This film has it. The ending will totally surprise you, though. It did me.

5 out of 5 stars A Sharon Stone Porn Movie!.......2007-04-03

One line.....great sex scenes. Sharon, you little sl**! Watch it and beat it!

4 out of 5 stars More about obsession.......2006-11-12

While this movie is somewhat predictable, who doesn't love gorgeous faces and hot love affairs? Stone and Baldwin give great performances in their exotic and obsessive affair. The screen play speaks directly to the viewer about our obsession with other peoples lives. This movie is not overly artistic, but entertaining all the same.

4 out of 5 stars Sharon Stone. Often semi-clothed. Enough said..........2006-09-21

Ah, the power of sex, and sexual images and thoughts, tawdry or otherwise. For some reason, I respond to seeing SS on the SS (silver screen) no matter how bad the script. I even liked her in "Casino" and "Basic Instinct 2". Of course, "Basic Instinct" is the Grail of SS movies. This one has many flaws, but it was never intended to be a Turner Classic Movie. As mere entertainment which offers a break from the often heart-breaking daily news, "Sliver" is not as bad as the critics said.

4 out of 5 stars Panting buffet with plot on the side.......2006-09-17

There's plenty of sex, with heavy breathing, sweat and tears. So if you're looking for a plot, but want to see Sharon Stone get busy as well, this is the film for you. Plot development is not up to par, but I don't think that was the focus of the producer. There is, however, a mystery and a guessing game that does leave you wondering who-dunnit. It's a movie characteristic of the era, so expect some predictable elements. The film is entertaining, though. NOT a family picture.

Description

Bob Rafelson directs this dark psychological thriller about the seductive interplay between two intriguing women. Catharine (THERESA RUSSELL) is a sultry beauty who meticulously sets her traps.

Soon Alex's obsession with the mysterious Catharine draws her deeper and deeper into danger.

5 out of 5 stars Great movie!.......2007-06-02

This movie came to me in perfect condition and I received it super fast. This is a great suspense movie and it is really cool. Thank you for such great service!

4 out of 5 stars A sleeper that sticks with you.......2007-05-10

Time has shown this 80s thriller to be a more durable, intriguing film than first it may have seemed. Debra Winger is at her most gorgeous, and the chemistry between her character and Theresa Russell's 'black widow' is palpable. I loved the colourful locations and the sense of glowing health of the cast. People who haven't seen it before will notice the 80s-style male chauvinism, but it doesn't detract from the movie. Great to see the portrayal of several murders without one violent scene or one spurt of blood. A genuinely adult movie.

4 out of 5 stars Sexy, stylish thriller.......2007-04-25

BLACK WIDOW is a sexy and stylish thriller, mainly notable for the always-reliable Debra Winger playing a gutsy female investigator.

When several rich older men all die in sudden, bizarre circumstances, government investigator Alexandra Bates (Debra Winger) becomes convinced a common link will lead to one individual. Alex's theory later leads her across the path of Theresa (Catherine Russell), a woman with untold fortunes and several husbands. Determined that she is the 'Black Widow', Alex befriends her in Hawaii, and later becomes part of a sordid love triangle with the next intended victim of Catherine's plot. BLACK WIDOW is filled with enough chills and thrills to hook any audience.

Debra Winger, in one of the rare times she doesn't play the dying tragedienne, delivers an excellent performance as Alex, a woman trying to exist within the male-dominated world of government intelligence. She is the only one who truly holds this movie together. Catherine Russell brings a chilling, glacial quality to the role of Theresa/Rennie, the black widow of the title. The cast also features Diane Ladd, Sami Frey, Nicol Williamson, Dennis Hopper, James Hong, and Mary Woronov.

5 out of 5 stars Black Widow DVD.......2007-01-03

This is an almost classic movie. However, its not for everyone. This one was used as a gift.

5 out of 5 stars A Two Person Noir.......2005-06-26

You can just about forget everyone else in this film other than Debra Winger and Theresa Russell. This sexy film is basically a two person film noir shot in bright colors, some of it in Hawaii. It is filled with excitement and seduction. Both the leads are wonderful to watch, their chemistry magnificent in this Bob Rafelson (Man Trouble, Five Easy Pieces) film.

Debra Winger is Alex Barnes, bogged down in a government desk job dealing with statistics. But when she sees a pattern of deaths that lead to Theresa Russell, a dangerously beautiful woman with ice in her veins, she becomes obsessed with catching a killer. Theresa Russell, who has used more names than Jason Bourne, is just as smart as she is sexy, and almost the entire film is one long seduction scene as Russell spins her web around Alex.

It seems a lot of rich men have suddenly died on Russell and Alex knows why. She is what is called a Black Widow, a woman who mates and then kills. No one has found any evidence to prove it, however, and Alex's attempt to catch her at it becomes murky as a seduction begins to take place.

The locations and the stars are beautiful and as Winger and Russell circle each other in this game with deadly stakes you can't take your eyes off them. Winger's Alex is smart and determined, but vulnerable, and Russell gives a flawless and sexy performance as a smart and icy beauty with a heart full of venom.

The electricity between the two characters jumps off the screen. The pool scene where they first meet gives us an indication of what is to come as Alex attempts to get close to Russell, with some unexpected twists. The formost of these is a scene when Alex gives Russell a Black Widow pendant, a spider who mates and kills its lover. Russell's response plays with the fragile but determined Alex as she begins to doubt herself.

You don't want to miss this one. It's gorgeous to look at and has two riveting performances from Winger and Russell. You can't find a better one than this.

4 out of 5 stars Sensual Repression via the 80s.......2006-06-10

This is a nostalgic bit of filmmaking from the 80s. The sights and sounds are inimitably 80s. However, this is sort of an enigmatic film. As much as it is part of the 80s it seemed to lack the chic timeliness of those days. I don't know why but David Caruso was the one actor who I remember being indelibly connected to it. Every time I think of this film all I can remember is Caruso's screen presence even though he is a minor yet disquieting character. Steven Bauer is very good and gives a heartfelt performance. Barbara Williams seemed rather detached and added to the obscure feeling this film has along with John Getz's performance as well. Bauer, Williams and Getz remain no more than shadowy figures upon recollection, while the production design, cinematography and story remain imbedded in the psyche. The story is interesting and disturbing at the same time and I wonder who really is the thief of hearts in this tale giving the film's ultimate conclusion. I think Douglas Day Stewart's directed only one other motion picture and he is primarily a screenwriter. The film's ambiguous style seems to bolsters that fact. The film is a very provocative mix of sensuality, sexual repression and seems to represents an era when introverted self gratification and glossy lifestyles replace traditional intimate values between otherwise loved ones. Interestingly, this film seems to have a strange allure about it leaving an indelible impression once viewed.

5 out of 5 stars Thief of Hearts.......2006-01-30

The movie is great but its not for young viewers under 13 is really pushing it.. the movie has some sexual content and wouldn't even let my 13 year old watch it. Some violence but it has a lesson in the movie also. Crime doesn't pay, and love is blind. Steven Bauer was a hotty, back then ...

True 80's love story! Brought back memories of styles, habits, and music of the pass...The me generation!

4 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Escapist Chick Flick!.......2005-03-24

The premise - how does it feel to be able to meet and then fall head over heels in love with your dream guy who willingly reinvents himself for you and loves you unconditionally?

I first watched "Thief of Hearts" back in 1985 when I was still a teenager and was very moved by the poignancy of it all. It has been 17 years since, but I feel no differently as I re-watched it on DVD. (Why did they not at least include a director's commentary in the bonus materials, amongst other things of producing a watered down verison of the original movie)?

The ending sequence was particularly heart-wrenching as Steven Bauer's character, albeit nothing more than a common burglar, broke into tears when he realised the fantasy world he had created for himself was over, but nonetheless defended the love of his life despite it all when it came to the crunch. Unlike many American movies where script-writers / directors inadvertently feel hard-pressed to provide a positively schmaltzy ending to love stories or the like, kudos to the restrain applied to "Thief of Heart"'s finale, ending the movie on the only credible, but no less cathartic, note to a doomed love affair.

2 out of 5 stars NOT the Original Version.......2004-08-12

This has already been expressed here in the reviews, but just as a reminder one more time..... this DVD is NOT the original version. The original version has more material and is much better. Hopefully someday they'll release an Unrated Version the way it was on VHS at one time.

Legendary producer David O. Selznick dreamed of another magnum opus like his 1939 production of Gone with the Wind; he also purposed to make Jennifer Jones, his ladylove and eventually second Mrs. Selznick, a megastar. Accordingly, he micromanaged the making of Duel in the Sun (Lust in the Dust to some), an extravagant Technicolor epic about the collision of the old West with the new, wide-open spaces with railroads and barbed wire, and hot-blooded outlaws with civilized folk, often wimpy or unwell. Beginning among giant rocks drenched in a blood-red sunset, with velvet-voiced Orson Welles intoning the leibestod legend of doomed Pearl Chavez and her demon lover, Duel never strays far from lush romanticism, spiced with a dash of S/M. Orphaned Pearl (Jones) comes to live at Spanish Bit Ranch, where frail Laura Belle McCanles (Lillian Gish) tries to make a lady of her, despite her questionable origins and insistent voluptuousness. Sexual license versus law--Pearl's choices--are symbolized by the McCanles brothers: dark, undisciplined Lewt (a lubriciously wicked Gregory Peck) and reasonable, forward-looking, repressed Jesse (Joseph Cotten). The cast is huge (Lionel Barrymore, Walter Huston, Harry Carey, Herbert Marshall, Charles Bickford, Butterfly McQueen) and there are unforgettable set pieces: summoned by a cacophony of bells, the gathering of McCanles cowboys from the four corners of the earth; Pearl in heat, clutching Lewt's leg and being dragged across the floor as he makes his getaway to Mexico; and the lovers' final shootout among those red rocks, as orgiastic a finale as you could ask for. --Kathleen Murphy

Description

From the acclaimed producer of Gone With the Wind comes a torrid tale of passion and romancethat's loaded with "all the sweep and panache of a giant American action movie" (The New Yorker)! "Flawlessly cast" (The Film Daily) with a bevy of film legends, including Jennifer Jones, Gregory Peck, Joseph Cotten, Lionel Barrymore and Lillian Gish, this salacious saga is "virtuallyimpossible not to love" (The Hollywood Reporter)! When her father is hanged for murdering his wife, the stunning beauty Pearl (Jones) is taken in by a wealthy Texan, his wife and their two grown sons (Peck and Cotten). But Pearl soon becomes trapped in an emotional tug-of-war between her love for one son and her lust for the other, igniting the most tempestuous triangle the West has ever seen!

5 out of 5 stars 110% Over-the-Top & I Love It.......2006-08-03

Overacted, overstaged, too colorful--"Duel in the Sun" makes that "I'll never be hungry again" scene in GWTW look understated.

The strange music, Pearl's weird dancer movements, a totally carnal Gregory Peck, Joseph Cotten so repressed that you would swear if he took off his clothes he'd be like a paperdoll with the underwear printed on, the cruelty...WOWEE. Someone said it was an opera and that's what it is, all right. They could be singing the lines with broad sweeping gestures and too much flesh and makeup.

I love this movie although, again like some other reviewers, I found it was an acquired taste.

3 out of 5 stars SEX DRIVEN WESTERN FALLS SHORT.......2006-05-19

The legendary Producer David O. Selznick,of Gone with Wind Fame,wanted to produce another classic and he mightily tried with Duel in the Sun,directed by King Vidor,and starring Selznicks' paramour and later wife Jennifer Jones.
Ms Jones is Pearl Chavez a half breed who lands on her "white" relatives ranch,run by reactionary Lionel Barrymore.The fetching ms Jones attracts the attention of Barrymores' amoral son Lewt,played by Gregory Peck.
After a great opening the film becomes something of a bore with Peck playing a rather repulsive character.
Lillian Gish,Herbery Marshall, Charles Bickford,Joseph Cotton,Walter Huston,hamming it up as a bogus preacher,Otto Krueger,and Harry Carey,sr.,all lend a colorful hand to the very mediocre proceedings.The technicolor is great and there is an excellent score by Dimitri Tiomkin.

5 out of 5 stars the first truely "adult" western.......2006-05-09

this is a very high camp western and as a child i didn't care for it much. now that i'm older i find i really enjoy this cheesey slice of the west. gregory peck(long before the boys from brazil)is a very bad man and he is really very good. matching him step for step is the lovley jennifer jones as his love/hate romance in the movie.
one last thing the ending is ,well the best word for it is really campy. buy it and see .
the transfer looks good and the film has never looked better.
