Movie Review: This Film Started It All
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the film started it all. The story line is simple. A cool, distant man, Mickey Rourke, a beautiful charming woman, Kim Bassinger, who was pushed by the man that she loved into doing some things that she would not normally do. The movie was all about the man, the woman and his games. The whip scene made the "Un-Rated" version but not the theatrical version. This scene gave the theatrical version a x-rating. The film was well written, well acted and directed and the themes worked so well that Mr. King used simular themes in the films "Two Moon Junction" and "Wild Orchid".Movie Review: genius subtext. . . a brave american film. . .
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite films of all time. Kim Basinger is poignant and astounding. Her wounded eyes that belie the sexual obsession is such an affective contrast.Her performance is impeccable.The plot is disturbing and yet common. I was turned on, infuriated, and -worst of all- familiar with the subject matter. Notice the subtle things that change as Elizabeth falls deeper into this sadistic union. (the darkening clothing and make-up for instance)
This nothing short of an American classic and one of the only films I want to own.
I also recommend the novel of the same name!!!!
Movie Review: Looking for Mickey Rourke
Summary: 5 Stars
I was 14 when I saw this for the first time (1986). I knew of both the actors, Mickey Rourke from Rumble Fish and Kim Basinger from Never Say Never Again but I saw the movie because I'd read that John Taylor from Duran Duran had written a song specifically for the soundtrack and I loved him. Mickey Rourke woke me from my childhood crush and caused a lot of problems for me as I went search for my own private Rourke. The soundtrack carries the film, as does the cruelness of Mickey Rourke's character and game playing.Movie Review: Stylized obsession...
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't think of a more sublimely stylized film prior to 1986 depicting the nature of sexual obsession since "Last Tango in Paris". Set in the decadent eighties with Rourke and Basinger at their (erotic) prime, and with brilliant New York City cinematography as the backdrop, this materialistically lush film is probably half the reason men have opted for careers on Wall Street, own lofts in SoHo, and keep a backup supply of ice cubes in their SubZero freezers. And to think this was filmed 15 years ago...Movie Review: Then and now, The best movie after movies.
Summary: 5 Stars
Mickey Rourke in my humble opinion has always been ahead of times, the Actor who displayed his talent in 1986 and rocking the industry ever since like todays 2005 Sin City and many more films coming up.
This film was simply a great movie, Kim is amazing and the director had done his homework keeping this movie on point with such mystery and endless topics one can talk about.
Amazon.com delievers fast and I gotta tell ya, this is the ultimate film among many of his work!
