Movie Reviews of Sex, Lies, and Videotape
Movie Review: Do not tempt the human nature !
Summary: 4 Stars
A prestigious, successful and selfish lawyer , whose wife has become frigid , has decided to have an affair with his sister in law .
But an old colleague is invited for him to his home in such effervescent state of things . You will discover why you do not have to experience with the feelings and desires of the human being because you as hunter may be well become hunted and being the fatal victim of your own and immature behavior.
A lesson life , excellently acted with reminiscences of the Nouvelle Vague with Chabrol , Rohmer and Malle as their major influences .
This film was the Opus one of Soderbergh, winner in Cannes and to date undoubtedly his masterpiece .
Movie Review: Great movie, bad director's commentary
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this again after many years and it struck me again how powerful it is: an amazing movie, particularly considering that it was the debut of 26-year-old writer/director Steven Soderbergh. The cast is fantastic. I'd forgotten Laura San Giacomo is actually a very good actress, and James Spader is simply brilliant as the outsider who brings his sex videos into a rather dysfunctional family -- and changes the group's lives.
The only disappointing aspect of the DVD is not the movie itself, but the director's commentary. I'm sure Soderbergh had fun chatting with Neil LaBute, but they often talk about everything but the movie, and it can be quite frustrating.
Movie Review: Potent
Summary: 4 Stars
It's remarkable that this movie is more than a decade old and yet, its story is still as relevant and potent as nowadays. With a shoestring budget and with a basic premise of analysing the dynamics of a relationship between four persons, this movie captives my imagination from beginning till the end. The title itself can be misleading. Whilst from the outset, it's literally sex, lies and videotapes but without those issues, there wouldn't be the much needed honesty, transparency and communication that facilitate a satisfying resolve for all parties that are concerned. An intelligent movie indeed. Highly recommended. No extras in the DVD other than the set-ups.Movie Review: Dense plotline, pretty interesting approach
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was very erotic without being truely graphic. It was a new approach for it's time. James Spader was very good (best actor though?), and Andie Mcdowell played the neurotic housewife well. Based in New Orleans, Mcdowell finds herself in therapy and in a loveless marriage, while her husband is confirming her suspiciouns of an affair. Then, a stranger comes to town from her husband's past and turns her life upside down. The pace is slow at times, but it pulls you through just fine. The ending was lackluster, but they had to end it somehow. If you like darker movies, with a little dark humor, then this is worth a watch for you.Movie Review: James Spader Best Actor??
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie was good but i dont know how james spader got best actor for it..dont get me wrong he was good in it, but i guess the rest of the nomminees really sucked..i like james spader and this was one of the only things ive seen him in, besides boston legal, and the last season of the practice.. worth the money i spent on it..recommended for fans of james spader..
