Twists, turns, and humerable (I know its not a word). I liked the different characteristics, and shades of characters (yes I'm trying to make this into 10 lines). I recommend anyone with a sick sense of humor and twisted psychology- you only need a little bit. I love Neve Cambelle because she has a unique character/look and way about things. She's def unique and I always enjoy seeing her on the big screen (and have missed her so). She's dynamic yet vulnerable, and emotional, and physical, and so on. Interesting, dynamic plot here, and bunch of interesting characters to keep up with. I like movies with a number of dynamic/complex characters who are all attractive in their own way. Like cruel intentions or... I can't think of another film similar. Just watch it.
I wasn't too into "Showgirls" and not a big fan of "Basic Instinct", but some how this movie did fit into a fine story. This movie is risque. But that's what attracted me to it. Like I said, if you did like "Showgirls" and "Basic Instinct", you will most likely enjoy "Wild Things". 7/10
A police detective uncovers a conspiracy behind a case involving a high-school guidance counselor when accusations of rape are made against him by two female students. While this film is perhaps not as critically-acclaimed as the crime comedy "Mad Dog and Glory", this is the more satisfying McNaughton police story, with a great mystery and more intrigue. You never really know who is working with who until the very end. The DVD commentary pays close attention to all the attempts to have beautiful lighting and backgrounds. There are a few behind the scenes tips, such as the use of cardboard where more expensive visuals would be no better. We even find out that one scene is actually an homage to "Red River", which you might never have figured out.
If you had two hours left to live, and could do anything you wanted, watch this movie. Two hours would suddenly feel like a lifetime. Stick figure acting, a connect-the-dots plot of twists and turns, and erotic scenes you cannot quite define as either extreme softcore * or hardcore ham. Two teenage girls in shorts and tank tops washing a Jeep and hosing each other down in slow motion? Frequent zooms in on Denise Richards's butt? And then the movie features the New Kevin Bacon game - how many steps is he away from sucking in this film? All in all, a horrible waste of good time. Watch a mystery, watch a thriller, watch an adult movie if you must, but don't watch this.
A wonderful cast of ladies revealing more than just their backsides in an interlocking film that leaves everyone wondering "What will she do now?" From the "I'm Just a Love Machine" scene to the pictures of Dillon doing Richards one has to ask, "May I see more?" Very wicked with a surprise ending that leaves the swamp trash as the true heroes. I kind of want to go see a gator wrestling match with the guy who has someone elses teeth. This is one of those movies you can watch over and over and just wonder who is the worst person in the movie. I find myself justifying that the ones who got killed deserved it. And anyway, I just loved the spear gun, an underutilized deadly weapon in movies.
Even without all the sex, it's still a very good movie. If you like the ol' switch-a-roo, catch this one.
Yes, this was truly Oscar wining material - well OK, maybe not - but it was entertaining. It's sexy, sultry, sordid, white trash. Complete with teen whores, bad cops, conniving lawyers, and demented teachers. It's built around the beautiful people of a beautiful town in beautiful southern Florida. Twists, turns, lies, deceptions make this something interesting. It's more pf a cult film than a plot driven story, so those of you who think about plot only and character structure will fail to see any enjoyment from this. If you like a little bit of sleaze without the bad intrusion of * will find this watchable and possibly enjoy rate it high. Not a film to be ciphered into a dramatic exposure of human decency, but something to watch with your lover on on long cold night and a bottle of wine or some mind altering substances and a string of lit candles.
