Movie Reviews of To Die For
Movie Review: jet-black comedy
Summary: 4 Stars
...with lots of very awkward, difficult-to-watch cringe-inducing moments, namely around the totally oblivious Joaquin Phoenix character and Nicole Kidman's ultra-bubbly proto-Stepford-Wives character. Matt Dillon is excellent as usual, with a strong supporting cast and topnotch camera work from director Van Sant who shows remarkabe discipline by not exploiting the sexual relationship between Kidman and Phoenix like lesser directors would have.
Best of all it's full of ruthless satire, Kidman does an amazing job. Not sure if I'd particularly want to watch it more than maybe twice though, it's very plot-driven, most of the characters are not very well developed.
Movie Review: A True Story
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not sure if this movie was based on the real-life incident that occured on Easter Sunday, 1994, with the convicted and sentenced high school teacher, Diane Borchardt, who was a ray of sunshine at the school, but a miserable and abusive step-mom and wife at home. Her husband couldn't take it anymore and started a relationship with another woman. And when Diane found out, she went crazy and began terrorizing her husband and the woman while she seduced one of her students to murder him. It was made into a made-for-cable movie and is often aired on Lifetime Network. "To Die For" was a bit different, but still enjoyable.Movie Review: GUS VAN SANT, OPUS 5
Summary: 4 Stars
***1/2 1995. Directed by Gus Van Sant, this film is an adaptation of Joyce Maynard's To Die for. Golden Globe earned by Nicole Kidman. The movie tells the story of Suzanne Stone, a woman who dreams to be on television or at least talked about. As tabloids have never been so read nowadays, there is here a guilty pleasure to replace Suzanne Stone's character by real people. No, I won't tell you any name ! No. Note director David Cronenberg's cameo as a charmer hitman.Movie Review: She's One Crazy Bi-aaach..
Summary: 4 Stars
....sorry to disagree with the last two reviewers, this is a good movie, because Nicole plays a less than virtuous role, like she does in "Malice" and some say "Eyes Wide Shut". Joaqiun Phoenix plays a stoner version of that kid in "American Beauty" and Illeana Douglas--well, I can get thrills just looking at that babe, but she does well as that sister who knows whats up from the beginning...this is better than what people say...Movie Review: Fact or fiction???
Summary: 4 Stars
Before this movie was released, there was a real-life incident that resembles the story line. Does anyone know if this was based on a true story??? I have heard from many that it was but I would really like to know...
