Movie Reviews of To Die For
Movie Review: "Daring Film"
Summary: 5 Stars
Although Nicole Kidman is an Oscar-winning actress who has starred in many Hollywood films, very rarely has she appeared in a movie that went to the top of the boxoffice charts. Never in the same league as Sandra Bollock or Julia Roberts, Kidman has, however, developed an ardent fan base that loves her performances and admires her for the fact that she does attempt to find that one movie that will someday make her a major boxoffice atttraction. In "To Die For" Kidman plays Suzanne Stone, a wannabe weather girl at a local TV station who dreams of becoming the next Barbara Walters in her hometown. She marries a man (played beautifully by Matt Dillon) who is part of a powerful mafia family. When he attempts to start a family with her and insists that she put her career dreams on hold , Suzanne plots to kill him. A wickedly yet dramatic film, "To Die For" is my favorite Nicole Kidman movie. I was surprised when I discovered the film was a major flop at the boxoffice as it is truely the best movie Kidman has ever done. Budgeted at $20,000,000, the film only took in 21 million. The role of Suzanne was offered to Meg Ryan originally who turned it down because she was only offered $5,000,000 to star in it. The role then went to Kidman who was given a 2 million dollar salary paycheck, an extremely low sum for a starring role.Movie Review: just too sexy
Summary: 5 Stars
nicole kidman finally delivers the performance that we all knew she was inherently capable of. she just needed the right platform for it. in this movie she pulls off something that only she can achieve. she is intelligent, charming, vulnerable, ruthless, depraved, deluded and downright sexy all in one delectable lip smacking package that will haunt you for many days after you've watched it. there is no one sexier in this industry. it was an excellent idea on part of the director to not show her completely naked. this way the mind is made to imagine with painful clarity, the juicy niceties that she has concealed behind the velvet bikini. in the scene where she is flashing her bikini to her morose friend, you would sell your soul to the devil to watch her take off those underpants.
nicole teases, taunts and plays with your hormones. her eyes will make you cringe with an unholy desire and her body (and the way she uses it ) will tear the restraint out of your system and pull mercilessly but oh so pleasurably at the rising blood in your body.
watch it. and keep a saucer below your mouth.
Movie Review: Perfectly Plastic...
Summary: 5 Stars
In TO DIE FOR, Suzanne Stone (the glorious Nicole Kidman) is an ultra-ambitious, wannabe media megastar. This takes a certain type of person, a person without fear, heart, or conscience. Stone puts her psychotic tendencies to work, building her TV career by any means necessary. This includes marriage, murdering her unbelievably clueless husband (Matt Dillon), and relentless self-promotion. This is a woman driven to be in reality what she has always been in her own blank mind. She WILL be famous! Fortunately, she won't have to sell her soul in the bargain, due to the glaring fact that she does not possess one! Kidman IS Suzanne Stone, an empty shell w/ a wonderful paint-job! She oozes along, manipulating the foolish and living only to be noticed. Don't worry though, she definitely goes too far and receives her day of recompence. Joaquin Phoenix is perfectly thick in his role as Suzanne's primary pawn. TDF belongs in every black comedy collection...Movie Review: Nicole Kidman at her very best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always loved To Die For. It's an excellent movie, loosely based on the Pamela Smart case (that's what essentially inspired it). Kidman plays Suzanne Stone, a woman who won't let anyone stand in the way of her goal of being a professional newscaster, even her husband, Larry (Matt Dillon, also fabulous in this). This dark comedy is one of my absolute favorites. Suzanne finds work with a local TV station and begins a project called "Teens Speak Out" where she involves herself in the lives of 3 drugged out teenagers. But Suzanne isn't really their friend...she's looking out for her best interest. To say more would spoil the charm of To Die For. Excellent through and through and very easy to watch again and again. If you are a fan of Nicole Kidman or Matt Dillon, you should definitely check this movie out. Highy, highly, highly recommended!Movie Review: "Goodnight, honey..."
Summary: 5 Stars
To Die For starring Nicole Kidman really is to die for. Directed by Gus Van Sant, this movie is the perfect and sexiest dark comedy ever I think. Co-starring Matt Dillion and Joaquin Phoenix are perfectly cast and boy Kidman really steals the show. She is flawless, manipulative, scary, and truly a gifted actress. She plays Suzanne Stone, who dreams of becoming a t.v. journalist, and no one not even her neglected yet devoted husband will stand in her way. As the movie goes, you learn what a psychopath Suzanne really is. I highly recommend checking this movie out, it is exciting and captaviting from start to finish, and the ending is just sweet revenge baby. Enjoy!
