Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Sight unseen, it's tempting to dismiss Poison Ivy as a teen variation on your standard trashy erotic thriller, a genre born with such promise in Body Heat that has since been in steady devolution. But while Ivy is no Heat, it's better than virtually any of those movies that star someone named Shannon. Crisp directing is supported by a script that takes a smart look at dysfunctional family dynamics, but most of all, it's the performances. Much has been made of Drew Barrymore's perfect casting as the title character, but she also does a sneaky and subtle job of straddling the fence: is Ivy a desperate, lonely young woman, an evil barracuda, or both? Tom Skerritt matches her step for step, playing the fallen husband as both hopelessly vain boob and genuinely lost soul. Cheryl Ladd delivers a sharp, minimalist performance as his Beverly Hills trophy wife dying of emphysema--becoming the still-life center of everyone else's life. And Sara Gilbert does a fine job in a role that gives her all the heavy lifting, playing tortured straight man to this pathetic and compelling tree full of coconuts. This DVD features both R-rated and unrated versions. The latter shows a bit more skin, although it's still fairly tame compared to the average skin flick. It also leaves Ivy a bit more ambiguous, and is thus a bit more fun. --Geof Miller

4 out of 5 stars seduction not from 1 movie, but from 3.......2007-04-12

I'm a Milano fan so i have to go with number 2: Lily, as the best. Just a nice good old couple of young seduction stories with a few interesting personalities.

IDGI... AMAZON RECCOMENDATIONS ARE USUALLY SO ON-TARGET.

whoever is responsible for recommending THIS to me must've had abou' as much empathic intuition as a bowling ball thas a liiiittle bit oerdosed on crack cocaine or sumethin', if ya' catch my drift..

IDGI...I've always been more of an Ally Sheedy, Short Circuit, Sentimentalist of sorts...(rolling 2d0 again) I only turn to this stuff to distract myself from solitude and mean-spirited, judgmental looks of others...(sigh), its enough to make a grown man...

3 out of 5 stars Skin flicks, anyone?.......2007-03-28

While the first installment with Drew Barrymore is fairly good, the subsequent films are just reasons to get a couple of hot actresses naked. The storyline of Lily has nothing to do with the first one, and only mentions someone named "Ivy" in passing. New Seduction shows the main character being Ivy's sister, Violet. What the two sequels seemed to have missed is that "Ivy" was a nickname given to the main character in the first film and not her actual name...but I digress. Watch the first, then, as another reviewer said, turn down the volume for Parts 2 and 3.

5 out of 5 stars Ignore the Non-Philistine Naysayers.......2007-03-12

It's simple - Jaime Pressly in the hottest thing she ever did. These kinds of films are often all gong and no dinner, but not in the case of "The New Seduction". You'll flip your toupee watching it, or I'll eat my shorts. Also, Ms. Milano makes the second entry watchable. What's that? Don't care for the plot, music, story, acting, etc.? Just turn the sound down and enjoy. Get'chr priorities straight, son.

1 out of 5 stars 3 terrible movies, 1 low price........2006-11-09

These 3 awful soft core erotic thrillers are some of the worst movies ever made.

The only reason to watch them is to see a 17 year old Drew Barrymore strut her stuff in the 1st film playing a very bad girl (though she doesn't do any actual nudity, her body double was Jamie Pressly ironically enough.)

The 2nd film has Alyssa Milano looking really nice in the buff.

And the 3rd film has Jamie Pressly discarding her clothing for most of the film.

But as for the films themselves? Terrible.

At least in the 1st film, they seemed to actually be reaching for something more artistic than just exploitative trash, but due to a pathetic script, they ended failing. Didn't register as a blip at all pretty much during it's original theatrical run after the whole Drew-Barrymore-sheds-her-good-girl-image press had run its course.

The filmmakers involved with the 2nd and 3rd films just didn't even try. They were also done as straight-to-video releases.

The films are all 3 shown in their unmatted full frame theatrical ratios, which actually helps as the full frame versions show some more flesh in some scenes.

These are also the more explicit unrated versions of all 3 versions as well. The pointless R rated versions available on the old DVD's have been jettisoned.

Only for super, super hardcore fans of the 3 actresses involved in the films.

There's nothing at all otherwise to be gained from watching these 3 cinematic abominations.

Alyssa Milano plays Lily, a Good Girl who moves to LA to attend art school and discovers a secret diary belonging to Ivy, from the previous movie. (That plot point alone should warn you that Poison Ivy 2 bears, at best, a distant resemblance to the original, and more's the pity.) Inspired by Ivy's "philosophy" of pushing all boundaries, Lily decides to explore the dark side of herself, which basically boils down to her chasing after a petulant, self-absorbed sculptor (Johnathon Schaech) and in turn being chased by her leacherous, self-absorbed art teacher. The point of movies like Ivy 2 is to have some fun, a few thrills, and we're done, thank you very much. But the filmmakers felt obliged to lard this thing up with ponderous pretension and Artistic Angst. The result is sort of a cross between Bikini Med School and La Notte, with a happy ending tacked on. Bleh. Milano tries her best to inject a little life and humanity into the proceedings, but it's an uphill climb all the way. --Geof Miller

4 out of 5 stars A Sexy Sequel.......2006-11-15

Alyssa Milano stars in this sexy sequel to the first "Poison Ivy" movie.

Milano stars as Lily, a somewhat innocent girl from Kalamazoo, Michigan, who has moved to Los Angeles to attend art school. She arrives on campus two weeks after the beginning of the semester. One of her classes is taught by Professor Donald Falk (Xander Berkeley). Prof. Falk has a weakness for young female undergraduates, as evidenced by the opening scene of the film. Also taking Prof. Falk's class is Gredin (Jonathon Schaech), an aspiring sculptor and, along with several other "different" people, a roommate of Lily's.

Once she's settled in her room in the boarding house, Lily discovers a box containing a diary and nude photos. The items belong to Ivy (presumably from the first movie). Intrigued, Lily begins going through the items, especially the diary. Lily is intrigued by all of the sexy entries Ivy made in the diary. Lily decides to experiment a little, so she cuts her hair and develops a more sexy look.

Her new looks haven't went unnoticed, as both Gredin and Donald have taken an interest in Lily. Donald, who hasn't painted in several years, finally finds the urge to paint again, and Lily becomes his subject, sitting for numerous sessions with Donald, and she's barely clothed in any of them. Meanwhile, Gredin has taken his own interest, and he and Lily begin to have a torrid sexual relationship.

However, things begin spinning out of control. Donald's obsession with Lily becomes almost uncontrollable. And at Thanksgiving dinner, things go from bad to worse as Donald's young daughter finds him attempting to rape Lily. The young child bolts from the house and directly into the path of an oncoming car. Donald's wife and Gredin attend to the child, while Lily runs home. Unfortunately, things don't end here. Donald follows Lily to her house, breaks in, and resumes his pursuit of Lily. Terrified, she tries desperately to fight back. Will she succeed in stopping Donald, or will Donald prove too much for her?

Usually, sequels fail to live up to the standards set by the original film, but this movie does a pretty good job. Alyssa Milano is not Drew Barrymore, but she's sexy and beautiful in her own right. Barrymore did no nude scenes in the first movie, but Alyssa does several in this film. Xander Berkeley and Jonathon Schaech are also good in their roles.

I recommend this movie very highly. There's no real drop-off between this movie and the first one. If you enjoyed watching "Poison Ivy", give "Lily" a try. It's definitely worth watching.

3 out of 5 stars Poison Ivy II - A Masterpiece of Modern Cinema!!.......2006-11-10

If I knew that I'd be watching Samantha Micelli naked on DVD when I was 7 years old I would definitely NOT believe it. But it's true and this DVD is worth every cent you pay for that reason alone. I've seen all of the installments in the Poison Ivy Series and the 1st and 3rd aren't as entertaining as this one. Of course this one is utter crap also but in comparison to the other's it's way more enjoyable. But I'm partial to Alyssa Milano over Drew Barrymore and Jamie Pressly. It's just a matter of taste in women because let's face it - no one's watching this for it's cinematography or unique vision.

2 out of 5 stars Poison Ivy II: What happened here?.......2006-11-10

This is what? Some story about a college art teacher who eventually coerces a comely student to pose topless for him to paint? We're supposed to be "shocked" at this? The idea of a sequel is to provide a continuance of a previous story, giving the audience a further dose of what they found entertaining the first time round. Not happening here, folks. Somebody seriously dropped the ball here, took someone's "mid-aged man gets to see 19 year-old breasts" fantasy and labled it after a blockbuster movie as it's sequel. But there's no 'bad-girl interjects in wallflower's family' here, no "I seduced your Daddy" thing - the main character isn't even named Ivy ... and, unlike the original,this storyline makes it clear the young lass is both "of age" and also, the college prof didn't seem to need to do much convincing to get the blouse to come off. All in all, it does get two stars because the actress truly is a very beautiful thing and we do get to see her half nude a couple of times (although she just - like, SITS there). This film has no big-name actors in it, not that such could have saved it. There's more satisfying erotica in the stage play-scene from "All That Jazz" than there is here.

1 out of 5 stars ivy.......2006-07-29

starring sam from whose the boss and that guy that used to be married to christina applegate. I really hate this movie. It's so boring and not exciting like drew barrrymores version.

1 out of 5 stars The Longest 108 Minutes.......2006-07-09

I have nothing against soft core movies and every now and then I see one that actually has a decent story. Unfortunately, Poison Ivy II is not one of those movies. The story drags so badly that you'd swear it's stretched over at least 4 hours and it generally feels as slow and constipated as any film you're ever likely to suffer through. If there was some geunuine heat on the screen when the movie tries to be sexy, you might forgive this. Alas, the sex is just as ponderous and devoid of appeal as the rest of Poison Ivy II. Alyssa Milano looks like she wants to be somewhere else every time she reveals even a little bit of skin and there is never a sense of true passion when she's with either her boyfriend or her art teacher.

All in all, this movie is a stinker. It's dull, pointless, and not even a little sexy. Whether you want an interesting story or an erotic romp you'll want to look elsehwere for you entertainment.

Joel Silver (48 Hours, Die Hard, The Matrix) has a theory about action movies--you need a good bang-up scene about every 10 minutes. The people who made The New Seduction operate on the same principle, only instead of car chases and explosions, the curvaceous Jaime Pressly takes her clothes off and then, more likely than not, has sex with someone. If Seduction had been made 60 years ago at Warner Brothers, nobody would have gotten naked, but otherwise this gleefully trashy bit of film noir would have fit right in. The plot's a reworking of the original; this time, Ivy's sister Violet returns after 11 years to wreak havoc on the family that turned her mother (the family maid) out onto the street for sleeping with the man of the house. Pressly brings both a smoldering energy and sense of fun to her very-bad-girl part. As the lonely daughter who was Violet's best friend, Megan Edwards is both appealing and strong enough to avoid being simpy. While this movie lacks the relative subtlety of the original, it's a whole lot more fun than the morose first sequel, Poison Ivy 2. --Geof Miller

I just happened to see this film on cable tv one night.I didnt expect to enjoy it as much as I did.The fact that people complain that this film didn't have a plot is laughable.Of course it doesnt have a plot!What were you expecting,Gone with the Wind?It is just one of those films that you watch if you are a guy who wants to see a hot chick nude and looking sexy for an hour and half, to temporarily forget about your miserable life(Or the fact that you will never have a girlfriend as hot as Jaime Pressley).Jaime Pressly is unbelievably sexy in this film.She's absolutely nude in most of it,and even when she is clothed,she still is extremely hot!It is defintely worth the purchase!

4 out of 5 stars Jamie Pressly Sizzles in this Seductive Sequel.......2006-11-16

Jamie Pressly stars in this third installment of the "Poison Ivy" series, and she really sizzles!

Pressly stars as Violet. She and her mother live in a house owned by Ivan Greer (Michael Des Barres). Joy (Megan Edwards) is Ivan's daughter. Ivan and Violet's mother are having an affair, but they get caught by Ivan's wife. Soon, Violet and her mother are thrown out of the house. The Greer's continue living in the house, but Ivan's wife ends up passing away, so Ivan and Joy are left by themselves in the house.

The movie moves ahead eleven years. Ivan is working as a successful bank executive, Joy is a star tennis player who's engaged to Michael (Greg Vaughan), an Ivy-league finance major who's trying to get a job as an intern at Ivan's bank. Everything seems fine, until one day, there's a knock on the door. The housekeeper opens it to find a very grown-up Violet. Violet claims that she moved to Arizona, but has returned to work as a waitress and attend Junior College, but she has no place to live. Joy suggests that she move in with them. After a little convincing, Ivan agrees, and Violet moves in.

Joy and Violet have fun catching up, and Joy introduces Violet to her college friends, but they find her "different", and pay very little attention to her. She gets up to go to her waitress job, but it turns out that she's really a prostitute. After a while, she returns to the house, where she finds Michael. Michael and Joy went up to her room, but Joy wasn't interested in making love with Michael. Now, Violet has found him, and she seduces him.

Joy's friend Jamie then comes over to help her train for her big tennis match. After playing for a while, they take a break. Violet spikes the juice with rum, and both Jamie and Joy get very drunk. The housekkeper has become very suspicious of Violet, and her suspicions are confirmed shortly thereafter. Ivan makes a date with another woman,and she calls to tell Ivan where to pick her up at. Violet answers the phone and promises to give Ivan the message, but she never does. Ivan comes home feeling that he's been stood up. Violet is there to comfort him, and eventually, the two have sex.

Things continue on at this pace until Michael shows up again. Violet was swimming nude in the pool and noticed Michael watching her. She gets out of the pool and offers cocaine to Michael. A recovering drug user, he declines at first, but in the end, he gives in. Violet and Michael have sex again, and Violet plants the cocaine vial in his jacket. This is eventually found by Ivan, who shows it to Joy. Michael ends up losing out on his internship.

Joy is so distraught by Michael's apparent drug use that she blows her big tennis match. Michael confronts Violet and tells her that he knows about her and what she's doing. He goes back to the house and begins going through Violet's things. he finds Violet's sex toys hiding under her bed, but she sneaks in and knocks him out. When he wakes up, he's been handcuffed and had duct tape put over his mouth. Violet then injects him with a drug, which ends up killing him.

What will happen to Ivan and Joy? Will they suffer the same fate as Michael?

I thought this movie was good, but it falls slightly short of the original movie. Jamie Pressly is extremely sexy and does a good job as the scheming yet beautiful Violet. Megan Edwards is good as Joy, and I was glad to see her stand up to Violet in the end. The plot is a little more complicated than the first two movies. The acting is lukewarm at best, but Pressly and Edwards are both very good.

I do recommend this movie. Jamie Pressly makes the movie worth watching. If you''ve seen the other movies in the series, you won't want to miss this one.

5 out of 5 stars Poison Ivy III: Back on track.......2006-11-10

THIS should have been "Poison Ivy II", not that other one. If you consider it such and ignore that other one, you'll do good. If a crack film team took the original and wanted to re-work it and modernize it, this would be the result. This one is drastically different from the first one in many ways, but it does have that 'young beauty tweaking evil manipulations on a family' that the original had (and Ivy II lacked). Like the first, we find ourselves wondering when, if ever, "Ivy" will "get hers". The brief B&D bit on Daddy is a nice touch too. Cudos as well for that fantastic "Pouty Lips" with fire-engine red lipstick look by Jaime Pressly. Buy the original, (with Drew Barrymore), this one, and keep them side-by-side on your movie shelf; ignore the "Poison Ivy II" edition.

LIVE AT NAPA STATE MENTAL HOSPITAL (CRAMPS)

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Superior Interior.......2007-03-14

You can't tell the musicians from the audience!!! That's the charm of this 22 minute piece of, dare I say it, madness that incredibly was allowed to be filmed. Not exactly something you would want to leave in a time capsule for people to later base their knowledge of the 1970s on [you would need to leave a rather detailed written explanation with it]. This is The Cramps at home.

5 out of 5 stars "What hath God wrought?".......2006-09-05

Not everyone will love this video, but it deserves wide viewing. This is not simply for rock freaks, video oddity collectors, or Cramps completists, although all of the above will add to the five star pile.

What is compelling about this is that *this*concert*actually*happened* and it is empirical proof reality is far stranger than any imagined fiction.

1978. Punk band. Mental hospital. Stoneage video camera. Zeitgeist and ancient Dionysian rite all wrapped up in a throb and ooze. The codine and crank speedball crowd meets the Thorozine and Lithium set.

It.Really.Happened.

The obvious complaints that this is a very short video, has poor production quality, and is padded out with ghastly useless filler is simply overwhelmed by the sheer wonder that it exists at all.

"What hath God wrought?" the first message of the age of electronic communication age once had an observation on its continuingly unfolding time line of this moment.

The Cramps finally gave Morse an answer that even the deaf and insane could hear.

And feel.

3 out of 5 stars Rare Cramps.......2006-02-27

Raw, primitive footage of early Cramps live! They are performing before mental patients, and at times, they look a little nervous. The audience seemed to enjoy themselves, and had no problem grabbing the microphone and joining the act! Thought I was watching a real life Marat/Sade here.

Video and sound are bad however. You have to see this as "archival" footage. An interesting watch for fans. Disk also includes previews of other video products the company sells. Underground and punk groups you may not even heard of.

3 out of 5 stars Who thought of this?.......2005-08-26

Who in the world thought that The Cramps (I cut your head off and put it in my TV set) playing at a mental hospital would be a good idea? I dunno, I doubt anything like that would happen in this day & age, not that there's any bands like The Cramps around anymore. The footage of this is pretty rough, as the box says, and Lux Interior spends a lot of time wrestling the microphone away from would-be stars, but this gives you a good idea of what the original Cramps (with Bryan Gregory & Nick Knox) were like. I love the Cramps but unfortunately the footage of this event is over before you know it and all that's left to watch is some shameless self-promotion from Target Video, some of which is interesting to see (like Crime playing at San Quentin, another lapse in good sense from somebody), but a lot of which is which is just plain irritating like a long segment featuring (I think) Non, a one man show wherein this guy bangs on a lot of pieces of metal and rattles lots of "found" objects, at which point I'd had enough and turned it off. The Cramps are great but it's hard not to feel like you've just bought 20 minutes of music and 40 minutes of advertisements.

5 out of 5 stars The Essence of Rock!.......2005-08-05

The setting is perfect. The band is perfect. The sense of chaos is REAL! It's what rock used to be before everything was so staged and predictable (thanks to bands like U2, The Stones, R.E.M.- all groups I do like). Only Iggy and The Cramps still represent the raw power rock once was, back in the day. Green Day writes nice songs, but I go along with this line from The Cramp's song (and I am 52): "You ain't no punk you punk! You wanna talk about the REAL junk." This is it.

Sight unseen, it's tempting to dismiss Poison Ivy as a teen variation on your standard trashy erotic thriller, a genre born with such promise in Body Heat that has since been in steady devolution. But while Ivy is no Heat, it's better than virtually any of those movies that star someone named Shannon. Crisp directing is supported by a script that takes a smart look at dysfunctional family dynamics, but most of all, it's the performances. Much has been made of Drew Barrymore's perfect casting as the title character, but she also does a sneaky and subtle job of straddling the fence: is Ivy a desperate, lonely young woman, an evil barracuda, or both? Tom Skerritt matches her step for step, playing the fallen husband as both hopelessly vain boob and genuinely lost soul. Cheryl Ladd delivers a sharp, minimalist performance as his Beverly Hills trophy wife dying of emphysema--becoming the still-life center of everyone else's life. And Sara Gilbert does a fine job in a role that gives her all the heavy lifting, playing tortured straight man to this pathetic and compelling tree full of coconuts. This DVD features both R-rated and unrated versions. The latter shows a bit more skin, although it's still fairly tame compared to the average skin flick. It also leaves Ivy a bit more ambiguous, and is thus a bit more fun. --Geof Miller

2 out of 5 stars Big disappointment.......2007-05-26

After reading many reviews I thought that I will be seeing a movie similar or even better to the Poison Ivy - The New Seduction!
MAJOR disappointment!!!!!
The story Is interesting and on the paired but the body shots that make Poison Ivy - The New Seduction a great movie are completely missing.
So if you want to see Drew Barrymore in her true beauty then this is not the movie.
Poison Ivy - The New Seduction

5 out of 5 stars I keep watching it even years later.......2006-12-22

This movie could never hold a candle to any teen thriller of today. It holds a magic that could never again be recaptured. Every time I watch it I am more and more mesmorized. I'm not gay but I do have to say that Drew Barrymore was hot in this movie! The music is amazing and very sexy. It's too bad they never put out a soundtrack. The composer is David Michael Frank if it helps any. I checked out some of his other music scores and there are some that sound similar to Poison Ivy. Although it will never be the exact score from the film we can always play the movie.

Here are some recommendations of sexy movie music to check out:

Theme From Body Heat
Sadness Part 1- By Enigma (Boxing Helena, Single White Female)
Wasted Time- By My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult (Showgirls)
I'm Your Man- By Leonard Cohen (Secretary)

5 out of 5 stars What Ivy Wants, Ivy Gets.......2006-11-11

Drew Barrymore, Tom Skerritt, Cheryl Ladd, and Sara Gilbert star in this seductive thriller about infidelity and murder.

Drew Barrymore stars as Ivy, a new girl in town. She befriends Sylvie (Sara Gilbert). Sylvie is shy, geeky, and doesn't have many friends, so she is happy that Ivy is showing her some attention. Sylvie invites Ivy over to her house. There, she meets Sylvie's parents, Daryl Cooper (Tom Skerritt) and his wife Georgie Cooper (Cheryl Ladd). Daryl is the manager of the local television station, while Georgie is suffering from emphysema. Georgie rarely comes out of her room and often thinks of suicide by jumping from the bedroom ledge. Georgie's mood seems to improve after meeting Ivy, and soon, Ivy is spending most of her time at the Cooper's home.

However, something strange is beginning to occur. Ivy has begun to take an interest in Daryl. Ivy volunteers to work at a party hosted by Daryl, and she dresses in one of Georgie's favorite dresses. While suffering from a drinking relapse, Daryl puts the moves on Ivy, and they begin to make out. These sessions between Daryl and Ivy become more frequent.

Ivy continues living in the Cooper home until one day, Ivy spots Georgie standing on the bedroom ledge. She puts her hand on Georgie's shoulder as if to comfort her, but instead, Ivy pushes her. Georgie falls to her death. The death is ruled a suicide, because everyone was aware that Georgie had contimplated killing herself before. Ivy goes on as if nothing ever happened.

Sylvie decides to shine up her mother's red Corvette convertible, hoping it will make her feel better and ease her pain of not being able to tell her mother her true feelings before she died. Ivy shows up carrying the urn containing Georgie's ashes and suggest that the "three" of them take a drive in the Corvette. While driving, Ivy begins humming a song. Sylvie recognizes the song as the one that her mother was listening to the morning she died. She accuses Ivy of killing her mother. The two are then involved in an accident. Ivy makes it look like Sylvie was driving, and she leaves Sylvie in the driver's seat. Sylvie is put in the hospital, while Ivy resumes her affair with Daryl. Convinced she's right about Ivy, Sylvie sneaks out of the hospital and hitches a ride back to her house. There, she catches Ivy and her father in the act. What will happen next? Will Ivy suffer the same fate as Georgie, or will Ivy get her wish and they all will become a family?

This is a very good movie. The plot is well-conceived, and the twists will keep you guessing throughout the movie. Drew Barrymore, Tom Skerritt, Cheryl Ladd, and Sara Gilbet all give fine performances, but Barrymore stands out in her sexy and seductive role of Ivy.

I give this movie my highest recommendation. If you're a fan of sexy and seductive thrillers, then this is a movie you won't want to miss.

5 out of 5 stars Poison Ivy: A Classic.......2006-11-10

This is the classic "Bad-Girl Befriends Wallflower And Turns Her Family's Life Upside Down" Story. Good talent here too. This is to the Gen X's what "Lolita" was to the BabyBoomers. The "oversexed teen" movie of the generation.

5 out of 5 stars batman the animated series is the best.......2004-05-02

batman the animated series is the best t.v. show of all time. if i were to rate the series it would be a five out of five. my favorite of beyond all episodes is batgirl returns. i wish they would hurry up and bring all of them out in box sets on dvd. this dvd has the episodes:
Eternal Youth
House and Garden
Bird of a feather
& the Mechanic

all great episodes smashed onto a great dvd i would recomend it to people but if it was me i am waiting for july 6th to get the first season on dvd!

2 out of 5 stars [ ].......2004-04-20

What are they doing? This fantastic cartoon, along with Batman the Animated Tales deserves it's own box set. The amount of work that went into this show created an allegiance of fans, all of who are desperate to get their hands on season sets rather than single episodes.
They did it for Transformers, why can't they do it for Batman?
Please release a box set Warner Bros. You know you can, and you know we want it. So hurry up!
I refuse to buy this unless I am sure that this is the only D.V.D format that it will be released in. I am assuming that I am not the only one.

3 out of 5 stars Great Episodes! But not a perfect DVD........2004-03-20

Call me crazy, but I love all the extras you get the DVD's these days. I love this show and I was so happy when this DVD came out. (House and Garden is one of my fav episodes!) I would gladly recommened this DVD to all B:TAS fans who loved this show, but I'm a little let down by there only being four episodes (I'm antsy for other episodes too) and the fact that there are no extras/special features. I want more!

Alyssa Milano plays Lily, a Good Girl who moves to LA to attend art school and discovers a secret diary belonging to Ivy, from the previous movie. (That plot point alone should warn you that Poison Ivy 2 bears, at best, a distant resemblance to the original, and more's the pity.) Inspired by Ivy's "philosophy" of pushing all boundaries, Lily decides to explore the dark side of herself, which basically boils down to her chasing after a petulant, self-absorbed sculptor (Johnathon Schaech) and in turn being chased by her leacherous, self-absorbed art teacher. The point of movies like Ivy 2 is to have some fun, a few thrills, and we're done, thank you very much. But the filmmakers felt obliged to lard this thing up with ponderous pretension and Artistic Angst. The result is sort of a cross between Bikini Med School and La Notte, with a happy ending tacked on. Bleh. Milano tries her best to inject a little life and humanity into the proceedings, but it's an uphill climb all the way. --Geof Miller

4 out of 5 stars A Sexy Sequel.......2006-11-15

Alyssa Milano stars in this sexy sequel to the first "Poison Ivy" movie.

Milano stars as Lily, a somewhat innocent girl from Kalamazoo, Michigan, who has moved to Los Angeles to attend art school. She arrives on campus two weeks after the beginning of the semester. One of her classes is taught by Professor Donald Falk (Xander Berkeley). Prof. Falk has a weakness for young female undergraduates, as evidenced by the opening scene of the film. Also taking Prof. Falk's class is Gredin (Jonathon Schaech), an aspiring sculptor and, along with several other "different" people, a roommate of Lily's.

Once she's settled in her room in the boarding house, Lily discovers a box containing a diary and nude photos. The items belong to Ivy (presumably from the first movie). Intrigued, Lily begins going through the items, especially the diary. Lily is intrigued by all of the sexy entries Ivy made in the diary. Lily decides to experiment a little, so she cuts her hair and develops a more sexy look.

Her new looks haven't went unnoticed, as both Gredin and Donald have taken an interest in Lily. Donald, who hasn't painted in several years, finally finds the urge to paint again, and Lily becomes his subject, sitting for numerous sessions with Donald, and she's barely clothed in any of them. Meanwhile, Gredin has taken his own interest, and he and Lily begin to have a torrid sexual relationship.

However, things begin spinning out of control. Donald's obsession with Lily becomes almost uncontrollable. And at Thanksgiving dinner, things go from bad to worse as Donald's young daughter finds him attempting to rape Lily. The young child bolts from the house and directly into the path of an oncoming car. Donald's wife and Gredin attend to the child, while Lily runs home. Unfortunately, things don't end here. Donald follows Lily to her house, breaks in, and resumes his pursuit of Lily. Terrified, she tries desperately to fight back. Will she succeed in stopping Donald, or will Donald prove too much for her?

Usually, sequels fail to live up to the standards set by the original film, but this movie does a pretty good job. Alyssa Milano is not Drew Barrymore, but she's sexy and beautiful in her own right. Barrymore did no nude scenes in the first movie, but Alyssa does several in this film. Xander Berkeley and Jonathon Schaech are also good in their roles.

I recommend this movie very highly. There's no real drop-off between this movie and the first one. If you enjoyed watching "Poison Ivy", give "Lily" a try. It's definitely worth watching.

3 out of 5 stars Poison Ivy II - A Masterpiece of Modern Cinema!!.......2006-11-10

If I knew that I'd be watching Samantha Micelli naked on DVD when I was 7 years old I would definitely NOT believe it. But it's true and this DVD is worth every cent you pay for that reason alone. I've seen all of the installments in the Poison Ivy Series and the 1st and 3rd aren't as entertaining as this one. Of course this one is utter crap also but in comparison to the other's it's way more enjoyable. But I'm partial to Alyssa Milano over Drew Barrymore and Jamie Pressly. It's just a matter of taste in women because let's face it - no one's watching this for it's cinematography or unique vision.

2 out of 5 stars Poison Ivy II: What happened here?.......2006-11-10

This is what? Some story about a college art teacher who eventually coerces a comely student to pose topless for him to paint? We're supposed to be "shocked" at this? The idea of a sequel is to provide a continuance of a previous story, giving the audience a further dose of what they found entertaining the first time round. Not happening here, folks. Somebody seriously dropped the ball here, took someone's "mid-aged man gets to see 19 year-old breasts" fantasy and labled it after a blockbuster movie as it's sequel. But there's no 'bad-girl interjects in wallflower's family' here, no "I seduced your Daddy" thing - the main character isn't even named Ivy ... and, unlike the original,this storyline makes it clear the young lass is both "of age" and also, the college prof didn't seem to need to do much convincing to get the blouse to come off. All in all, it does get two stars because the actress truly is a very beautiful thing and we do get to see her half nude a couple of times (although she just - like, SITS there). This film has no big-name actors in it, not that such could have saved it. There's more satisfying erotica in the stage play-scene from "All That Jazz" than there is here.

1 out of 5 stars ivy.......2006-07-29

starring sam from whose the boss and that guy that used to be married to christina applegate. I really hate this movie. It's so boring and not exciting like drew barrrymores version.

1 out of 5 stars The Longest 108 Minutes.......2006-07-09

I have nothing against soft core movies and every now and then I see one that actually has a decent story. Unfortunately, Poison Ivy II is not one of those movies. The story drags so badly that you'd swear it's stretched over at least 4 hours and it generally feels as slow and constipated as any film you're ever likely to suffer through. If there was some geunuine heat on the screen when the movie tries to be sexy, you might forgive this. Alas, the sex is just as ponderous and devoid of appeal as the rest of Poison Ivy II. Alyssa Milano looks like she wants to be somewhere else every time she reveals even a little bit of skin and there is never a sense of true passion when she's with either her boyfriend or her art teacher.

All in all, this movie is a stinker. It's dull, pointless, and not even a little sexy. Whether you want an interesting story or an erotic romp you'll want to look elsehwere for you entertainment.

    I give this movie my highest recommendation. If you're a fan of sexy and seductive thrillers, then this is a movie you won't want to miss.

    5 out of 5 stars Poison Ivy: A Classic.......2006-11-10

    This is the classic "Bad-Girl Befriends Wallflower And Turns Her Family's Life Upside Down" Story. Good talent here too. This is to the Gen X's what "Lolita" was to the BabyBoomers. The "oversexed teen" movie of the generation.
