Movie Reviews of Wild Orchid
Movie Review: Clever comment on Reaganism set in a galaxy of post-transformational liberalism.
Summary: 5 Stars
Just kidding, I don't know what I'm talking about. You should see this movie if you like:
1) Sex
2) Nudity
3) Hot babes
4) Mickey Rourke
5) Carre Otis
6) Mickey Rourke and Carre Otis going at it for real
7) Perfume commercials
8) Directors trying to make their softcore porn look like art by filming everything sensually and in slow motion, so the film appears to be arthouse and "visually stimulating"
9) Really, really, really bad dialogue
10) Lots of good banging and screwing without a plot
11) Mickey Rourke playing a total pimp (which is different than just Mickey Rourke - I mean, there's Mickey Rourke, and then there's Mickey Rourke the Pimp, which is even cooler)
And finally...
12) Hot female characters who wear glasses and carry around clipboards so the audience believes they are smart and successful businesswomen, when in fact they'd have a hard time calculating 1 + 1. (Also see: Alone in the Dark, Tara Reid's character; or Fantastic Four, Jessica Alba's.)
Highly recommended to the appropriate demographic.
I could kill myself for buying it. :(
Movie Review: More Than Meets the Eye
Summary: 5 Stars
Wild Orchid. Most people think its some smut movie with no plot. No one ever looks between the lines. It may have sex, and some crazy acting, and even a bogus plot, but the theme of it is important. True love. Call me sentimental and a hopeless romantic, but this movie touched me. Emily and Wheeler, opposites in every way, somehow find love, together. I wish everyone was as lucky. To find happiness where you least expect it. I wish I could be as happy as those two. Look around you. Do you see people with this kind of passion and love? It's sad, too, because we know what happened to the actors who played these lovers. I hope that someone out there has a relationship like this so that we have more to cling to then fiction. It may not have been the best movie, but it had an important message: When you find true love grab it with both hands and never let go.Movie Review: Wild Orchid- A Zalman King Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a Zalman King classic. The best film out of the trio of films that delt with simular themes. The people are beautiful, the sound track is one of my all time favoriates, and model actress Carrie Otis is easy to look at. Zalman King used influences from Two Moon Junction and 9 1/2 Weeks to provide this fans with a wonderful love story in a wonderful setting. Rumor has it, the film's opening scene had to be re-edited because the motion picture rating board (the pepole that rate motion pictures) gave this film a X-Rating. Rumor also has it that Carrie Otis and Mickey Rourke were actually making love on film. The two later married and then devorced. We can only hope that this hard to find video, and now for the first time on DVD, is the un-cut and un-edited version which has a "Non-Rating".Movie Review: an art movie, if you look closely enough
Summary: 5 Stars
Wild Orchid gave me a headache when I first saw it over a decade ago - what was all of this psychological drama? It quickly occured to me that I was watching an art film. There are scenes of sexuality that are mistaken by many as "soft core porn". I disagree -- every scene advances the story for the characters, and it is tastefully done in every instance. There is also a misconception that Mickey Rourke plays a "macho multimillionaire" -- no, he plays a sexually impotent multimillionaire that finds the will to love. This is a beautiful story, with strong characters set in an amazing city... a work of art, if you ask me.Movie Review: Gread, Passionate Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Loved this movie, only thing I didn't like was how low the volume was. Very memorable movie. Saw it a few years ago and the only thing I seemed to forget was the title. Remembered a good bit of the scenes just not the title. Finally bought it by pure chance and it was the movie I had been looking for, for years. Great movie, plan to watch it many more times. If thinking about buying this or seeing it, give it a shot. Chances are you won't regret doing so.
