This straight to video prequel to the original hit, "Cruel Intentions" is an absolute waste of an hour and a half. All this movie does is take the original storyline and move things around a little, it's like watching the first movie all over again, only with new actors.

Watching Robin Dune and Sarah Thompson play sexual prditors was laughable - they didn't do half as good a job as Ryan Phillipe orSarah Michelle Gellar.

The only aspect of this movie which was to my likeing was the twist at the end, apart from that, I felt I had wasted my money.

When I first rented this movie I thought that it would be of the same standard of the first, and therefore I felt that I would bve utterly compelled - surficed to say, I was wrong.

Stick to Dangerous Liaisons.

What can I say about this movie? Yes it is dreadful, but, you have to watch it. I believe that the movie has been unfairly maligned by many critics, but it really isn't that bad. Christopher Lee looks very out of place in the movie, as he faithfully sticks to his original interpretation of count Dracula, when he is surrounded by a new environment. I have to mention Caroline Munro in this comment, as her character, despite the fact she isn't even in 1/3 of the movie, is one of the best ones there.

Glenn Close, John Malcovich and Michelle Phieffer head an all star cast in this lavish tale of Sex, Deception and delicious wickedness. Beneath the heaving corsets of 18th century France there lies a world of lust and deportuary which this film reveals.

Glenn Close instructs her deviously seductive lover, John Malcovich to seduce the innocent Madame de Tourvelle (Michelle Pheiffer) a women renound for her religious beliefs, if he succeeds then she shall give him her body in one night of lust, but, one obstacle arises that she did not count on, the pair fall in love - thus beginning a battle of witts and seduction.

This is a must see movie for everyone as is its counterpart - Cruel Intentions, a modern reworking of Dangerous Liaisons

I saw this movie for the first time very recently, and was quite impressed. Henry the 8th and his six wives has a faultless cast, in particular Keith Mitchell, Jane Asher, Charlotte Rampling, Lynn Fredrick and Donald Plescence. We open on King Henry the 8th's death bed, and wittness him remeniscing about his various marriages, from Katherine of Aragon to Katherine Parr.

Keith Mitchell does a splendid job as the man himself, as he does not portray the king as some brutal tyrant, but as a lonely old man just looking for love and an heir.

Although it is not as good as the B.B.C'S Henry the 8th and his six wives (which also stars Keith Mitchell) it is a wonderful film, well worth a look, not least because it stars Jane Asher Charlotte Rampling and the late Lynn Fredrick as well as the wonderfull Donald Plescence.

I watched this film with an open mind and left with a numb one. It is a very slow and very boring picture. You spend half the time watching a man climb up a mountain. Praise must go to Klaus Kinski, who portrayed Count Dracula as a very lonely creature who wants nothing more than to die. All this film is nothing but a remake of Nosferatu, except for the fact that this movie is in colour and has sound. The one thing that this film does have which was to my liking was Isabelle Adjani who gave a memorable performance as Lucy Harker. Despite the films flaws it does remain to be a very atmospheric experience. Everything about it is haunting, the music is haunting, the acting is haunting even the scenery is haunting. This movie stays with you for hours after you have watched it.

Christopher Lee ventures forth as Count Dracula in this, the 4th in the Hammer dynasty. Although it has a good story line and a wonderful cast, which includes John Carson, Peter Sallis, Gwen Watford, Martin Jarvis and Roy Kinnear, after an initial burst, the story droops. The count does little more than sculk around in crypts and pounce on the nearest buxom virgin. Linda Hayden makes a pretty victim for the count, but Isla Blair is even prettier and she is the one that gets the fangs in her throat. The acting honors have to go to Christopher Lee and Isla Blair, who do there best with an obviously tired script.

Christopher Lee resurrects the Count in this third installation of the Hammer series. The acting honors have to go to Barbara Ewing who gave a splendid performance as the brassy bar maid Zena, while Veronica Carlson made a pretty victim for the Vampire Count.
