A Knight's Tale (2001)

"A KNIGHT'S TALE" Really Rocks!

[10/10 · 2 April 2005]

**THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS "A KNIGHT'S TALE" is a wonderful story about unreached dreams, true love and forever friendships.

A squire wishes to (in his father's words).... "change his stars" by becoming a knight. After his elderly master dies before a jousting tournament, his young squire, Sir William Thantcher (HEATH LEDGER), takes his place. After winning the tournament, William decides to do it full time. With the help of a small band of friends (and some counterfeit "noble birth" papers), he pretends to be a knight of noble birth under the fraudulent name of Sir Ulrich Von Lichtenstein of Gelderland. For months, he successfully wins tournament after tournament, becoming a jousting legend. William even falls in love with a beautiful young girl, Jocelyn (SHANNYN SOCCAMON).

Although "A KNIGHT'S TALE" is a Medieval movie with modern rock music, it is a fun ride. This movie is NOT to be taken so seriously, but it is interesting enough to have you cheering for William to become victorious.

This movie has a lot humor and tenderness. The jousting scenes are fast-paced and fun to watch. This movie is for anyone who has an undying dream.

DON'T miss it!

Space Precinct (1994–1995)

Could've Been Better

[1 November 2004]

I only watched "SPACE PRECINCT" briefly, but it could've been better.

It had an interesting premise. A cop from planet Earth on a transfer to an alien planet in outer space. Great idea.

But I thought that the casting choice of Ted Shackelford was terrible. The acting was mediocre. The writing was just okay. The aliens looked ridiculous.

This is how you could make the show better.

First of all, "SPACE PRECINCT" needs a better title. The title just doesn't roll off the tongue smoothly.

Second, "SPACE PRECINCT" needs some A-List or B-List actors. Ted Shackelford? Come on.

Third, "SPACE PRECINCT" needs aliens that look authentic. "STAN WINSTON F/X" could've gave this show excellent special-effects (Puppetry, Special F/X make-up). Throw in some Digital-Effects from "DIGITAL DOMAIN" (owned by James Cameron & Stan Winston) and the show would be been taken to a whole other level.

Fourth, "SPACE PRECINCT" needs to be on a major network like NBC, ABC, FX, USA, or SCI-FI Channel.

If Jonathan Frakes (producer of "ROSWELL") or William Shatner (producer of "TEK WARS") had produced this show, then it would go down in Television history as one of the greats.

The Hollow (2004 TV Movie)

Waste Of Time!

[24 October 2004]

I'm NOT going to waste much time giving you my opinion of this movie. I'm NOT going to go into specific details about what this movie is about. You can read the other reviews here on IMDb.COM later on.

First of all, the movie is just terrible.

I was flipping through the TV channels and ran across this Television movie, "The Hollow". I thought that I would give it a chance. That was a mistake.

The storyline is weak. This is a 3rd rate version of "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow" story. It's the old story about the Headless Horseman. This movie stars Kevin Zegers, Kaley Cuoco, Nick Carter, Stacy Keach, and Judge Reinhold.

If you want to see a great version of this story, rent "Sleepy Hollow" instead. It stars Johnny Depp (and was directed by Tim Burton) . That version has gore, suspense, great special-effects, and nice acting.

In "The Hollow", you have terrible acting by former Backstreet Boys, Nick Carter. I thought Stacy Keach was over the top.

"The Hollow" didn't look to have a big budget for decent special-effects. But what do you expect for a Television movie?

Avoid this movie! It's a waste of time!

Brave New World (1998 TV Movie)

Man, This Movie Depressed The Hell Out Of Me!

[8 August 2004]

**SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD.

I just watched the movie, "BRAVE NEW WORLD" on the SCI-FI Channel. I understand that this movie is based on a classic novel.

In the future, everybody is extremely happy..... I mean really extremely happy. They smile from ear to ear like freakin' robotic "JOKERS". This is all due to a drug called, SOMA (which eliminates emotional and physical pain). No one is angry or depressed. No one is allowed to fall in love or have babies. Everybody is encourage to swap sexual partners in a orgy nightclub. Babies are created and raised in a glass artificial womb like a scientific experiment. If a woman does illegally get pregnant and want to have the baby, she must run away to a far away land to give birth and raise the baby alone. All this futuristic society cares about is pleasure. When somebody dies, they are encouraged to tell their children that they should just smile and feel happy that they're not dead. A really selfish society. In order to have their perfect society, they get rid of all things associated with passion: war, love, pain, art, poetry, music, etc.

I DON'T recommend this movie. This movie was depressing the hell out of me. I was one step away from slicing open my wrists just to stay awake during this snooze-fest.

Out of Time (I) (2003)

Great Movie! Worth Watching!

[5 January 2004]

**SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD.

"OUT OF TIME" will be a classic!

It's an erotic-suspense-thriller, a cross between "BODY HEAT" and "NO WAY OUT". This is genius film-making by director, Carl Franklin (who made the classic movie, "ONE FALSE MOVE").

The cast is made up of DENZEL WASHINGTON (Matt Lee Whitlock), EVA MENDES (Alex Diaz Whitlock), DEAN CAIN (Chris Harrison), SANAA LATHAN (Ann Merai Harrison), and JOHN BILLINGSLY (Chae).

Denzel Washington is great as always in this film. He has a presence that just keeps you in awe. He impressed me in this film (as well as other films that he was in like, "TRAINING DAY", "THE BONE COLLECTOR" & "THE HURRICANE").

Eva Mendes is very beautiful looking and kept me glued to the TV. She's a star on the rise.

It was funny seeing Dean Cain as a tough guy (especially after his stint as Superman in TV's "LOIS & CLARK"), but he eventually won me over. Very good actor.

John Billingsly is very funny as the "Always-There-For-You" buddy. His one-liners are a crack-up.

The suspense keeps you on your toes and the sex is arousing. Many twists and turns to keep you guessing.

THIS FILM IS WORTH WATCHING. TWO THUMBS UP!

S.W.A.T. (2003)

Good, But Could've Been Better

[25 December 2003]

**SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD.

I just watched the movie, "S.W.A.T.". I wasn't that impressed by it. It could've been better. The movie has some impressive cast members like SAMUEL JACKSON (Sgt. Dan 'Hondo' Harrelson), COLIN FARRELL (Jim Street), LL COOL J (David 'Deke' Kay), and MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ (Chris Sanchez).

The first part of the movie has a long S.W.A.T. training sequence that plays like a law enforcement training video (with a rocking 2003 version of the 1970's S.W.A.T. theme song) that just drags on forever. Jackson and Farrell are the main reasons to see this film. They both have a commanding presence that just makes their performances stand out. LL Cool J looked like he was just there to show off his rippling abs.

I don't see why Michelle Rodriguez was in this movie. I think Michelle Rodriguez was just there for window dressing. Rodriguez portrays a beautiful, but tough, S.W.A.T. member. She didn't really have any oppourtunity to show off her great acting abilities that I've seen in other movies (like "GIRLFIGHT", "FAST & THE FURIOUS", and "BLUE CRUSH"). She is beautiful to look at, but I wish the writers gave her character something more to do in this film.

The second part of the movie was just one long chase scene.

I like this film, but I thought they should've took a little more time writing a better storyline.

Bad Boys II (2003)

Was There Even A Script Written For This Film?!

[14 December 2003]

**SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD.

I just finished watching "BAD BOYS II". This is the sequel to the first film, "BAD BOYS".

What the hell was this sequel suppose to be even about? Did they even write a script for this film or did they just make it up as they shot it? I think producer, Jerry Bruckhiemer, should've concentrated more on making sure that the script was finished before production began. Instead, he concentrated more on whether or not he could get WILL SMITH (Mike) and MARTIN LAWRENCE (Marcus) back for this sequel, playing the lovable wise-cracking Miami cops. The storyline didn't seem to be focused enough. It was all over the place.

"BAD BOYS II" was missing that certain magic the first film had.

I'm a big fan of shoot'em up action movies (like the first "BAD BOYS"), but "BAD BOYS II".... DAMN!! Too much of an overkill. Don't get me wrong, "BAD BOYS II" isn't that bad. It has alot of action sequences that are more breathtaking than the ones in the first movie. There's a freeway chase sequence that has to be seen to believe. It even has the beautiful GABRIELLE UNION playing Marcus' sister, Sydney (an undercover DEA agent). I think Gabrielle is the best reason to see this movie. She is oh so hot in a bikini and has the nicest, juiciest lips on a woman.

The bad stuff that should've been left on the cutting room floor are:

1) The overuse of close-ups of bullets exploding into human heads.

2) Dead naked corpses in the mortuary scene (later being ran over in a car chase).

3) Cars crashing into everything and being demolished.

4) All the unnecessary explosions.

5) The bickering between Marcus and Mike. They sounded like an old married couple. It was annoying.

By the way, since when did Marcus have a daughter? I don't remember her in the first film. What happened to his two (2) boys from the first film?

This sequel is funnier than the first one, but the jokes are kind of over-the-top.

The last 15-20 minutes of non-stop action in Cuba is just too much of an overkill and unbelievable.

Only see this film if you don't mind watching mindless action on a rainy or boring day.

Did I mention the length of this film? It's 142 minutes. This film is just way too long.

To Michael Bay (director), "LESS IS MORE".

Gothika (2003)

"The Sixth Sense" meets "Silence Of The Lambs"

[4 December 2003]

**SPOILERS AHEAD....

"GOTHIKA" is a cross between "THE SIXTH SENSE" & "SILENCE OF THE LAMBS". When I went to the movie theatre this afternoon, I didn't know what to expect from "GOTHIKA". All I knew about this movie is that it was some kind of supernatural thriller.

Halle Berry plays Dr. Miranda Grey, a brilliant psychiatrist at the Woodward Penitentary. One rainy night, Miranda is traveling on a road as she makes her way home. With some kind of accident ahead of her, Miranda is detoured by Sherriff Ryan (her husband's fishing buddy and longtime friend) to take another road home. After she crosses a small wooden bridge, she almost hits a young naked woman and swerves off the road. She runs and checks this young woman. This strange woman grabs Miranda by the face, everything goes black. Miranda wakes up some time later in a cell in the Woodward Penitentary, the same place where she works. She tries to piece together her last memories of that night after her co-worker, Pete Graham (played by Robert Downey Jr.) tells her that she is in there after killing her husband/boss, Dr. Douglas Grey (played by Charles Dutton). I'm NOT going to tell you the rest, I don't want to give the whole story away.

"GOTHIKA" is a a supernatural-horror-mystery tale. This was a good movie overall. Not really a scary movie, but I have to admit that I did scream like a girl (during one scary moment). I'm not ashamed to admit it. This is a dark brooding movie with a H.P. Lovecraft feel.

I thought that Charles Dutton was out of place here. If I was the casting director, he isn't the actor I would've picked to play Halle's husband. I laughed when Berry and Dutton kissed (with Charles Dutton giving her some open mouth). Charles Dutton is a great actor who needed MORE screen time to show his wonderful acting ability. Penelope Cruz and Robert Downey Jr. was underused in this movie as well. Penelope Cruz plays the psychiatric patient who claims the devil is coming into her cell at night and raping her.

I've seen better supernatural movies like, "STIR OF ECHOES", "THE SIXTH SENSE", & "THE OTHERS".

Halle Berry doesn't show her breasts or have a sex scene (like in the movies, "SWORDFISH" & "MONSTER'S BALL"), but she's still great in it overall.

Disturbing and interesting movie that will stick with you for a few days.

I give it an 8 out of 10.

Punk'd (2003–2015)

This Show Reveals Its Immaturity.

[28 November 2003]

**SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD.

Who the hell thought that giving Ashton Kutcher his own reality show was a good idea? Some genius-of-a-cable-producer must've thought that this goofy kid could play a hip version of Alan Funt for his show, "PUNK'D" on MTV. This is totally a rip-off of the hidden camera show, "CANDID CAMERA".

"PUNK'D" is a mean-spirited show where Ashton and his film crew conspire to play jokes on other celebrities. The only reason Ashton has chosen other celebrity-friends as his victims is because he knows that playing jokes on real people would probably get him knocked out or sued.

"PUNK'D" has shown celebrities such as Tommy Lee, Halle Barry, Taye Diggs, Eliza Dushku, Nick Lashay, Lil' Bow Wow, Mandy Moore, Katie Holmes, Jessica Alba, and others getting laughed at by Ashton and his crew after the joke is revealed. Ashton pretends that he and his crew are just laughing "WITH" his victims. We know that isn't true. He loves laughing at his friends, treating them like court jesters for his own amusement.

I don't like this show. Ashton better milk his fame for all its worth, because I don't see this immature actor's career going anywhere after "THE 70's SHOW" or "PUNK'D" ends. He doesn't really have any skills as a comedic or dramatic actor. He is only famous for dating Demi Moore and hanging out with P. Diddy (which makes him look cooler in some strange way).

Ashton better hope that Demi Moore and P. Diddy doesn't get tired of him If he keeps playing jokes on all his celebrity friends like he is, he'll be all alone.

Embrace of the Vampire (1995)

Where Was The Vampire Blood & Gore?

[22 November 2003]

**SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD.

I'm a huge Alyssa Milano fan. I try to watch all the movies with Alyssa in it. That's why I rented this movie.

I rented the movie, "EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE" and was disappointed by it. "EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE" just had no story. Alyssa plays CHARLOTTE, a college co-ed who is pursued by a vampire. That's all I got out of the story since it didn't really tell a story as I watched it. They saturated this movie with alot of nudity to make up for the fact that there was NO STORY.

I couldn't believe it when Alyssa started showing some bare breasts and playing tongue-hockey with actress, Charlotte Lewis. IT WAS HOT! There was plenty of nudity and erotic lesbian scenes, but I wanted a movie that actually showed some kind of vampires in it. There's MORE action in a television episode of "BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER".

I don't know what Martin Kemp was doing in here as the supposedly villianous vampire. Kemp didn't seem frightening at all. I could think of better actors to play the lead villian.

I would've liked the movie better if they showed Kemp in some kind of F/X Vampire Make-Up and had some Digital F/X. There's other vampire movies that are better (such as "NEAR DARK", "BLADE", "THE LOST BOYS", "SUB-SPECIES" & "DUSK 'TIL DAWN"). This movie could've used some serious action. Don't get me wrong, I love nudity and lesbian scenes, but if I rent a vampire movie, I want to see some horror and gore in it. I like to see lots of blood in a vampire flick. This had none.

"EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE" was laughable, a movie NOT to be taken so seriously. The writing was terrible. I give sexy actresses ALYSSA MILANO & CHARLOTTE LEWIS credit for saying the horrible dialogue and not laughing out loud. These two actresses were the only things in this movie that wasn't disappointing.

If you ever watch "EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE", make sure that it's the UNRATED version.

1-800-Missing (2003–2006)

Nice Drama With A Supernatral Twist.

[17 November 2003]

**SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD.

I've never read the books that the new Lifetime series, "1-800-MISSING", is based on. I'm a big fan of mystery stories with psychics in it and how they solve the cases. As an aspiring Sci-Fi writer, I've done some research on paranormal abilities. I've always found it fascinating.

I'm glad to see Gloria Reuben in this. I've been a big fan of Gloria Reuben's performances ever since I first saw her in "TIMECOP", then NBC's "ER". On "1-800-MISSING", Gloria plays Brooke Haslett, the lead FBI agent on a special FBI Task Force centered around a 20-something psychic. Caterina Scorsone plays Jess Mastriani, the psychic who receives her abilities after getting hit by lightning. Caterina is a babe. Her strange abilities comes out as some prophetic dreaming. Jess' dreams hold clues to missing individuals. Symbolic imagery in her dreams must be interpreted to make sense in order to find their missing person.

Gloria Reuben and Caterina Scorsone are both beautiful and sexy. Brooke and Jess share glances between themselves, little touches here and there. Sexual tension? Maybe. Their faces get so close and smiles exchange between them, there's times when I've thought that they might kiss and do some crazy lesbian action. Could it happen? Maybe. They did it on the show, "XENA" with the Xena and Gabrielle characters.

I hope that this show goes on for a long time. Cool concept, great acting and terrific writing. A nice dramatic escape for everybody.

Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica (2003–2005)

Perfect Show!

[10 November 2003]

**SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD.

"THE NEWLYWEDS" is my new favorite show. I've read other viewers' opinions on this site. I'm disappointed that other people don't like the show as much as I do. Jessica Simpson is a beautiful, sexy Barbie-doll who is just lovely to look at. I admit that some of the things that she says and does is naive, but that's her charm. Other people think that Jessica is dumb, whiny, and spoiled. Jessica is NOT dumb, but only naive like a little girl. I have to agree with the other people, Jessica is a little whiny and spoiled. Alot of people think she can't sing, but she can. She sings like an angelic songbird. She's very talented. And sexy. Did I mention "sexy" already?

Her husband, Nick, is funny as the straightman. Nick shakes his head in confusion whenever Jessica says something like, "Is "CHICKEN OF THE SEA" chicken or tuna?". Jessica does alot of things that may make her look dumb. One example, Jessica tried opening her hotel room door with the electronic key card, but it wouldn't open. She then tries to open the rest of the nearby hotel room doors down the hall, they wouldn't open either. Jessica then discovers that she is on the wrong floor. Also, her hotel room number is on the electronic key card. I know what you're you're thinking. DUMB, right? No, just naive. It's a funny moment. It's cute.

I don't understand why Nick doesn't spend money on certain things like movers to move his furniture into his house. Instead, Nick and his brother struggle to move the furniture in his house himself. He certainly has the money to pay someone to do the moving for him. I can understand him wanting to save a few bucks, he should spend some money. He deserves to splurge a little.

I've heard the news that Jessica Simpson is may be getting the role in the remake feature film, "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" and getting her own sitcom (situation comedy) on ABC due to the success of "NEWLYWEDS". Congratulations to her! She deserves it.

This is a perfect show. I hope other people will give it a chance and love them as much as I do. "NEWLYWEDS" is just pure, fun entertainment. I can't wait for the second season.

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

The Real World (1992– )

Real World? More like "Fake World"....

[7 November 2003]

**SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD.

I've watched most of these Real World episodes where these young adults live in luxurious mansions or penthouses. I've grown so tired of these individuals who get a free ride for a few months, then pretend to talk about important issues. They get to live in these extraordinary places, not paying a cent. And they also get their jobs hooked up for them with any of them going on an interview. In their spare time, they go partying at nightclubs and having sex with total strangers (or their roommates). At their temporary lodgings, they are shown doing nothing, but playing around on the Internet, watching TV, or sleeping. That's not the real world. Then these "Real World-ers" try to become actors after the reality show ends. HINT: Being on a reality show doesn't make you an actor.

Most of these people are annoying, except for a few. The most annoying "Real World" cast member, as of late, has been Chris Tamburello (a.k.a CT) from Real World Paris. CT is a fake-hoodlum type (with a rag on his head 24-hours) from Boston. His heavy Boston accent just annoys me. He is so loud and obnoxious, you just want to see this guy take a big fall in life. CT was shown several times getting drunk, being disrespectful to other people, and slugging a nightclub patron several times. CT would've been arrested for assault and sued if he was in the United States. CT isn't as tough as he thinks he is. The second annoying person is Leah Gillingwater, also on Real World Paris. I couldn't stand this little wannbe bully. In one episode, she was shown as maybe having cancer.

The only person I like is Melissa Padron from Real World Miami. She was sexy. That lesbian shower scene she did one episode was probably the hottest episode in Real World history. I didn't like the fact that Melissa tried denying her naughty side. No, Melissa did NOT do a 3-some in the shower with Mike and that waitress (like everybody thought). It was only Melissa and that waitress that was making all those loud erotic noises. Mike passed out because he was drunk (or because he wasn't wanted). Not a good thing.

I hope the future Real World episodes get better.

Return to Cabin by the Lake (2001 TV Movie)

Not As Good As The First One

[30 October 2003]

**POSSIBLE SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD.

I decided to do some work on the computer and watch some television at the same time. While flipping through the channels on Cable, I came across "RETURN TO CABIN BY THE LAKE" (on the USA Channel) with Judd Nelson as the main lead actor. A few years ago, I saw the first movie, "CABIN BY THE LAKE". I was surprised by how much I like it. If you haven't seen the first movie, "CABIN BY THE LAKE", and know the Stanley Caldwell character (played by Judd Nelson), let me help you catch up. Stanley Caldwell is a lone screenwriter who writes low-budget B-horror movies. He lives in seclusion near a lake in some kind of movie community. He is doing research for an assigned script called, "Garden Of Flesh". The script he is writing is about a serial killer who abducts and drowns his victims. While doing his research, Staley decides he needs to really know what his fictional serial killer character is feeling and thinking during the murders. He decides to kidnap several females, keep them locked up in a sound-proof room (in his cabin) for a few days, then take them to the middle of the lake and drown them by shoving them overboard (with a cement block tied to their ankles). Talk about research. Stanley gets off on seeing the fear in his victims' eyes as they are about to be shoved off the boat. Drowning is possibly the worst ways to die. When a victim is drowning, the throat closes to prevent water from entering the lungs. Arms and legs thrash in the water, trying not to sink below. The lungs, starved for oxygen, finally forces the water to rush in. Scary and slow way to die. I can see why nobody would want to die this way. You can actually see the intensity of calm insanity in Stanley's eyes. It's either great acting done by Judd Nelson or he's kinda just crazy in real life. Well, in my opinion, Judd Nelson is a little creepy. After the women drown, Stanley dives down to the murder spot (in SCUBA gear) and tends to them like some kind of decomposing human garden, draping colorful silk-material all over them. Weird. Twisted. Brilliant. Great concept for a serial-killer storyline.

"RETURN TO CABIN BY THE LAKE" isn't as good. Stanley comes back. He pretends to be an assistant-director on a film set where they are making a movie about his infamous murders that he committed in the first movie. Cast members on the film set start to disappear, one-by-one. "RETURN TO CABIN BY THE LAKE" was lacking something that the first one had. Maybe it was the direction or the acting from new cast members. Or it could've been the storyline itself. The storyline wasn't much to work with. Who the hell wrote this anyways?!!!

The only saving grace to this sequel is an actress by the name of DAHLIA SALEM who plays the lead female character, Alison. She is sexy as hell. I first got to see this actress in the NBC soap opera, "ANOTHER WORLD" when she played the character, Sofia Carlino. Since that soap opera has ended (due to cancellation), I've recently seen her guest-star in such television shows such as "PEACEMAKERS" & "THE THREAT MATRIX". She's still as hot as when I first saw her.

If you rent "RETURN TO CABIN BY THE LAKE", make sure you notice Dahlia's acting abilities. She has the potential to be a great actress. I wish that she was in more movies or even had a television series of her own. She deserves it.

"RETURN TO CABIN BY THE LAKE" is a disappointment, but it is worth watching because of Dahlia Salem.

Proof of Life (2000)

Not What I Expected, Could've Been Better.....

[26 October 2003]

"PROOF OF LIFE" was an okay movie. When I saw the trailer for it, I thought it was gonna be some big romance-action epic. I was wrong. It was just another action film. There was no intimacy between Meg Ryan & Russell Crow's characters at all. I heard that there was a sex scene, but it was deleted because of Hollywood politics. Meg Ryan was having a real-life affair with her co-star, Russell Crow. This caused problems for her marriage to her then-husband, Dennis Quaid. I understand that this is the reason for their divorce. I heard that the real-life affair would've been compared to the movie version (reminding viewers of her adultry), so to avoid all that, Miss Ryan put pressure on studio heads to leave the sex scene on the cutting room floor. "PROOF OF LIFE" had some good action scenes, but the sex scene should've been kept in at least. It would've showed some intimacy between the two characters which was badly needed. Hopefully, they'll come out with a Director's Cut on VHS. Overall, okay movie.

Wild Things (1998)

This Will Be A Film Noir Classic!

[23 October 2003]

I didn't expect much from this film the first time I saw it in the movie theatre the first day it came out, but I was pleasantly surprised. I recently rented this film on video to get myself acquainted with it again. Matt Dillon plays a teacher at a Florida prep school where he is wrongly accused of raping two of his students. The plot in this film isn't that simple. You won't know what will happen from one scene to the next. The film has mystery, comedy, and erotic moments. With so many Hitchcockian twists and turns, "Wild Things" doesn't disappoint. The 3-way sex scene with Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell, & Denise Richards is the best reason to see this film. Denise Richards was a virtually unknown actress before this film came out. She shot to stardom after millions of people around the world saw her go topless and share an erotic lesbian kiss with Neve Campbell. Trust me people, this scene is HOT!!! But there are two disappointments in this film. The first disappointment is that Neve Campbell doesn't go topless. I've discovered that Neve Campbell has it written in all her film contracts that she never goes nude. That's a shame. The second disappointment in this film is that Kevin Bacon does go nude. Near the end of this film, we get to see Kevin Bacon's.... BACON.... dangle in a shower scene. I think this was Kevin Bacon's first frontal nude scene ever. Women may like this scene. Men may want to look away. Throughout the film, we find out that everybody are not as they seem to be as the characters are being betrayed left and right.... and killed off one-by-one. I thought the cast members did some fine acting.... except for Matt Dillon. I thought Matt Dillon was stiff and dull in his performance. I thought Neve Campbell and Denise Richards were beautiful and gave decent performances with what they could with the B-movie dialogue that was written. Bill Murray gave a very funny comedic performance as Matt Dillon's defense lawyer. Kevin Bacon, as always, gave the best performance in this movie. "Wild Things" isn't the best movie ever made, but the plot twists and the 3-way sex scene makes this film a fun ride to take. This will forever be a classic! Great Film Noir!
