Movie Review: This may save your life.
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually saw this movie a while ago and it always stuck in my head for no reason. I met my coworkers girlfriend who was nice yet I knew there was something about her. Just. Something. I didn't know at the time of course because you can never foresee what life brings you. She started coming around more often and telling me her daily activities and what not. Till I started hanging out with her more often. Mind you, she wasn't my friend as much as my coworker/friends Girlfriend. This girl would always escape to my house to get away from him. More and more I started to see that this girl had issues. She decided that she was going to cut her hair the same style and dye her hair the day after I did mine. She started to want to do the hobbies I currently undertook such as sewing, photography and baking. She started to go to the gym with me and I would hate every second of it. I clearly started getting flashbacks of this movie. She started to compliment me on my lingerie at the gym in the womens' locker, flashing ensued from her behalf, which led to her buying the same lingerie I had. At that point I stopped going to the gym. I couldn't take it anymore. It was absurd. She would text me good night and everything. Finally I noticed that she was making any excuse why to go over to my house when my husband was working from home while I was at work with her now Ex-boyfriend. She would need to borrow a movie or a book of some sort. Finally I got fed up and came home. To my surprise they were having an affair. When I confronted him...all he could say was "Baby, I thought it was you." Yup, that's my life in a movie.Movie Review: DON'T MAKE ME COME GET YOU
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. It is so funny and over-the-top.
The basic plot is that Allison (Bridget Fonda) gets a roommate for her Manhattan apartment (has anyone ever seen an apartment this large in NYC??) after her skirt-crazy live-in lover Sam (played by "Wings" star Steven Weber) runs around on her. It's Headra "Hedy" (Jennifer Jason Leigh) to the rescue!
Allie thinks she found the best thing since sliced bread in Hedy. Although she is somewhat meek, and no fashion magnet she seems kind, and eager to befriend the lonely and hurt Allie.
Sam reenters the picture which really ticks Hedy off. You see, Hedy is actually a kook that is infatuated with Allie. She soon starts dressing like Allie, and acting like Allie. And Allie soon finds out that Heady has some dark secrets.
When Sam comes back from a business trip Hedy goes to his hotel posing as Allie (she cut and colored her hair the same color and style) to perform oral sex on him. Once Sam figures out it's crazy Hedy he tries to get her off him.
The next day there's a climactic scene when Allie finds out what Hedy did to Sam. They fight in the apartment basement prompting Hedy to scream, "DON'T MAKE ME COME GET YOU..."
The movie ends with Allison reflecting on what happened, she tries to forgive Hedy...
FUN FACT: Bridget Fonda was in another movie that came out a month after "Single White Female" called "Singles
Movie Review: "A Stylish High-Class Thriller"
Summary: 5 Stars
"Single White Female" is one of the best psycholgical suspense thrillers. Debuting in theatres in 1992, the film hasn't really aged much, except for the hairstyles and clothes. The story is still prevailent today as the message here is clear: make sure you check out your roomate's past before having them live with you.
Bridget Fonda, Jane's niece, and the wonderful Jennifer Jason Leigh ("Dolores Clairborne's" Selena), star in this film about two young career women who move in together in a stylish New York apartment. Alley, the Leigh character, suffers from severe mental issues unbeknownst to the Bridget Fonda character. The problems Alley has becomes evident not only when she shows possession to her new roomate, but also at the point where Alley wants to take over her friend's life. A hugely suspenceful thriller that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. Jennifer Jason Leigh plays one of the best villins ever in the history of films in this piece and the writing and direction is impeccable. The scenery of New York is breathtaking as well, as the film was shot in the Big Aplle in the summer of 1991.
There is a remake of the film that was sold directly to DVD called "Single White Female 2:, but it is absolute trash. Buy this original as it is an excellent film.
The DVD is barebones, but it comes with the theatrical trailer, is in widescreen format, and is dual layered with both full and standard editions.
Movie Review: Me And My Shadow...
Summary: 5 Stars
Bridget Fonda is Allie, a woman who must take in a roommate after her boyfriend (Steven Weber) betrays her. Enter Heddy (Jennifer Jason Leigh), who answers Allie's ad and moves right in. All is well until Allie's boyfriend creeps back into the picture, filling Heddy w/ a growing paranoia and dread, which eventually sends her reeling into full psychotic mode. You see, Heddy's a bit off. She has never gotten over the loss of her identical twin sister, and has spent her entire life drifting from one person to another, looking for someone to be attached to. Poor Allie is the latest target of Heddy's twisted affections! Soon, no one is safe, as Heddy digs herself deeper into Allie's life. Deaths ensue and Allie must face Heddy in a desperate fight for survival. SWF is one of the great horror / thrillers of the late 80s / 90s. It's right up there w/ FATAL ATTRACTION and THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE. Highly recommended...Movie Review: Phenomenal Performances
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I'll be honest; perhaps the movie itself (especially the last half hour's plot) deserves only 4 stars. However, Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh both more than makes up whatever shortcomings the plot presents. Most of this movie is a smart, entertaining, and gripping thriller. Bridget Fonda, as usual, gives an strong performance. However, it's Jennifer Jason Leigh's wickedly brilliant performance that makes the movie. She plays the psychotic seductress role so well that the male audience is terrified and turned on at the same time. One can't help but think a star is born; too bad Leigh didn't seem to have gotten the credit she deserves for this breakthrough performance. All in all, this is a pretty damn good movie.
