Movie Reviews of 9 1/2 Weeks
Movie Review: Ground breaking erotic sizzler
Summary: 5 Stars
I first found out about 9 1/2 weeks when I saw a small clip of it on a movie website. It was the scene where John blindfolds and seduces Elizabeth with an ice cube. I was so aroused on by that scene I decided I would find out somemore about the movie. Some described it as a beautiful blue movie. While other described it as sadistic and degrading to women. I decided I would check it out for myself. So I did, and after I watched it I found I had similar feelings that I had after watching Secratary. I longed so badly be in a relationship like the one in the movie. I was sooo turned on by many of the scenes in the movie, esspecially the scene where John and Elizabeth are making passionate love in the ally in the rain. I found myself quite aroused by the idea of being the submissive one, and not knowing what was going to happen next. Some of you hear I kow might be disgusted that I would find the Slave/Master idea erotic, but maybe you should keep your mind open to new thing and not be so quick to pass judgement. Who knows, maybe you'll find you like the idea of not being in control. You'll never know until you try!! ;)Movie Review: It was all about "Kim Bassinger's Body"
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time that I saw this movie was ten years ago. I was so stunned by the way that the director used Kim Bassinger's body parts to enhance this movie that I just had to buy it. I did buy it--ten years later. And everytime that I watch it I'm stil stunned by this dark love story. The plot is very basic--girl meets boy/falls in love with boy--but boy turns out to be the Wrong Man! What makes this movie so sad is that the director went to know degree to degrade Kim Bassinger in the easiest way possible. Emotionally and sexually. Mickey Rouke was just a male Spade in his meaningless pawn. "Kim Bassinger's Body" made this movie. From the scene of her sitting in the screening room while thinking of Rouke--while touching herself to the all the time sex scenes--food fetishes-- and light dominant/baby doll scenes played by both Rouke and Kim, that kept the audience thinking... "She just needs to get the hell out of there!" This movie was so sad in the end. I happen to see 91/2 weeks 2 but it was nothing like the first 91/2 weeks. Kim Basinger's Body stole the show--actually it was the whole movie.Movie Review: Strawberry Fields (and Mickey Rourke) Forever...!
Summary: 5 Stars
For the longest time, I've steered clear from this movie because I once overheard my mother say to her friend,
"Oh my God, I had to walk out in the middle of this filthy movie because it had no respect for food..."
That was sometime in 1987.
A few years ago, I thought I'd be rebellious and watch the movie anyway.
Hell, my mom didn't have to know.
Plus I was definately old enough...
On the contrary to my initially biased impression, this movie, for some reason wasn't as blatantly "filthy" to me as how my mother described. Rather, it was an interesting story about a woman captivated in a torturous love affair that was ever so consuming - and how she managed to free herself from an addiction to a numb lover who was equivalent to a cruel child.
In other words, I really liked it. :)
And for the record - I still have no problems eating strawberries.
Then again, who with 20/20 vision can say "No" to pre-surgery Mickey Rourke??
Movie Review: A story of an Obsessive, Lustful Romance that Lasts for
Summary: 5 Stars
9 and a ½ Weeks Cleverly does away with the usual Subplots that come with the Territory. The Film is Virtually Devoid of Action and Suspense (I say "Virtually" because this statement can be debateable depending on opinion), even Dialogue seems to be a Hindrance to the story, so there's not a lot of it. The Writer and the Director obviously wanted to focus Solely on the Romance at hand, and boy do they delve into it. They stock the film with Beautiful Images, Intense Scenes and Debateable Content. What looked on the surface to be a Trashy Sex flick turns into a study of Obsession and Lust. The Attractive Leads really take in their roles and the Attraction is Believable at all times, Mickey Rourke was at his Prime and Kim Basinger was an Up-and-Comer.
No Supporting Character stands out as no one bar the Leads gets the screen time to be Memorable. The Direction is always Competent and the Cinematography is Superb. The fact that the film sparked such Controversy and Debate on release proves it's more than just Trash it IS Art.
Movie Review: One of the best films of the 80's
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I saw this I was about 15. I watched it just for the purposes of getting aroused. By the end of the film I was blown away (pardon the pun). This is one of the movies that made me want to become a filmmaker. I didn't think it was possible to make a movie that was both very erotic and at the same time you could feel very involved with the characters to the point were your almost crying. You know these two are only going to date for 91/2 weeks, but you so want them to stay together. Excellent soundtrack. Perfectly acted. It's one of the films that made me want to become a filmmaker. I was also impressed, at the time I first watched it, that a movie could be so wonderfully made and at the same time very low-budget. If the producers of the film ever read this, please re-release it. On a final note I want to say that I think a big part of the genius of the movie comes from the fact that not all characters and situations are fully explored. This helps inhance the mystery of Micky's character.
