Movie Reviews of Another 9 1/2 Weeks

Movie Review: under appreciated...just like Mickey Rourke
Summary: 5 Stars

Antoher 9 1/2 weeks is an interesting film which works on various levels. On one level it's soft core porn and cheap exploitation. That's a fact and you won't get any arguement to the contrary out of me. I bet Everhart and Rourke would agree too. It is what it is...one one level. On another level it's a great inversion of the first 9 1/2 Weeks and a great character study of Mickey Rourke's John. All of the negative things that others have said about this flick are the very reasons I loved this movie. Yes it doesn't have the magic of the first film and John isnpornographic't the same man. He's older and darker and lost. This John is mentally and emotionally destroyed. He's made mistakes that have caused him to lose what he held most dear and he's got the scars to prove it. Let's face it: Rourke fits that description perfectly. His role in this flick is haunting. I can't watch 9 1/2 Weeks without getting to the end of it and thinking about the more tragic take on the character of John that this sequel presents. It's so tragic and ugly that it's beautiful folks. Yes it's cheap soft-core (...)exploitation. Yes it's not pretty. That only helps to set the tone for a tale of man lost in the dark gutters of despair. Watch it as cheap exploitation and enjoy the nudity, or watch it as a great portrait of loss. It's all there. Just don't tell me there isn't something haunting and moving in the writing, the direction, and the performance of Rourke.

Movie Review: Oops!
Summary: 5 Stars

In a previous review I tried to say that this film can be called "pornographic" but that word ended up inserted into the middle of another word making my review incoherent! Ugh!
The point I was trying to make was: yeah some will find this pornographic and yeah it's exploitation BUT that's not all. There's anoter level to this film which serves as a portrait of a man suffering a great loss. Yes this sequel is darker than the original 9 1/2 Weeks and yes it is missing the fun of the original. That's the point. Elizabeth is gone and John is a darker character in a darker world who is struggling to deal with her loss. I don't know about you but that's pretty heavy stuff for "pornographic exploitation". Rourke is fantastic in this role. This is the film that really made me notice what a great actor he is. His boxing damaged face only adds to the destroyed character he's playing and the scars that his character carries with him. This film goes beyond the manipulative mysterious character of the first film and shows how vulnerable and damaged he has become. It's much better than some say it is. This isa great performance by Rourke. John's pain is tragic and not something you'll find in just any erotic film.

Movie Review: Sex and Carma Literly
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are a fan of Mickey like I am then you will know just how special his movies are.
This one was better than the first his girl that he was with was better and hotter and the BMW Z3 was just cool the plot was hotter and it left me with a high motivation.
Yes he is older and a litte more aged in this movie but it is still Mickey so enjoy it.
It is worth all the $5.60 you will love it.
