Cruel Intentions

Pros: the great cast, nicely woven plot, intriguing storyline, dramatic overtones
Cons: none

Being rich has its advantages and its disadvantages, and one of the main downfalls is displayed in the film Cruel Intentions. When you have everything, it can be easy to get bored, and the events used to fill that spare time end up being less ...

Pros: good plot (original), good acting, easy to follow
Cons: too much about sex

I Decided To Watch This Because I kept hearing about how great it was. I first seen it at the movies a few weeks after its release. Leaving the show satisfied, I later decided to purchase this video. Characters Sebastian (Ryan ...

Pros: Great adaptation of the novel and acting.
Cons: Genuinely unlikeable characters -- but that could be a plus.

Usually I avoid films about teenagers like I would bubonic plague and hantavirus -- it's just not worth the trouble of going there. Especially when it comes to rich teenagers, I find very little about them that is at all interesting. However, some rules ...

Pros: Good movie with unusual plots!
Cons: None

CRUEL INTENTIONS is about control, there are two rich kids that will do almost anything to control each other and everyone else. You have Kathryn Merteuil (Sarah Michelle Gellar) whose mother married Sebastian Valmont's (Ryan Phillippe) dad. Kathryn and...

Pros: Great cast. Strong plot. Entertaining movie.
Cons: Not for everyone.

Some books have been turned into several different movies over the years with some versions being much better than others. Every so often, a story originally set a few hundred years in the past gets updated to modern times, sometime having the main ...

Pros: First two acts.
Cons: Terrible last act.

Cruel Intentions is one of the most disappointing films I've ever seen. It starts off as a great teen sex comedy, with a very humorous opening scene, then decays into a serious moralistic love story, the decisions of its characters making the ...

Pros: Sexy, hot, steamy, plotline, suspenseful, mature characters
Cons: Ending could have been better

Um...mmm...mmmmm. Oh yea. This is one hot movie with a great storyline and lots of SEX. Tons going on in it that keeps the storyline focused and anticipation high, building to the very end. Going in, I expected not to like the characters but ended up ...

Pros: Twists and turns in the plot keeps you rivited
Cons: Surprise ending may not be pleasing

This movie, based on "Les Liasons Dangerous" is a wonderfully sexy, manipulative story about two wealthy teenagers who spend their time playing with others. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays Katherine, a conniving, sex-loving girl with a goody-two...

Pros: Sex, sex, sex
Cons: Poor plotting. Like that matters.

We all know how good Hollywood is at ruining perfectly good ideas. In 1996 Jeremiah S. Chechik managed to completely and utterly bodge Henri-Georges Clouzot's classic 1955 French thriller Les Diaboliques. How so? Well, it starred Sharon Stone for...

Pros: Acting, script and a whole lot more
Cons: The end, much swearing (not a problem for me but may be for other kids)

There's something I want to tell you: I got this thing for Reese Witherspoon. I mean, how is it possible that a woman can be so cute and innocent? I've seen 6 or 7 of her movies; not because I wanted to see them; just because I wanted to see Reese...

Pros: Pretty people; The Kiss; Selma Blair is adorable
Cons: Lacks energy; weak script

The Kiss. The mouth watering, tongue dancing, slow motion kiss between Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Kathryn and Selma Blair’s Cecile is the most talked about and indeed the most memorable scene in Cruel Intentions (1999), the modern take on the ...

Pros: Wonderfully Twisted, Great Soundtrack
Cons: Been There Done That, Can Be Melodramatic and Sappy at Times

Cruel Intentions is a movie that a lot of people seem to hate, but I think those looking too deeply into it are completely missing the point. This isn't a movie that claims to be "Academy Award" material, nor does it boldly go where no movie...

Pros: Great storyline, all the acting is great (minus Selma Blair), funny, the coolest ending
Cons: Selma Blair

Last Winter, I had a lot of time on my hands, and based on the trailer, decided to go see this movie. Loved it. It goes down in my history as one of the most sinful movies I love to watch.

What makes a great, sinful movie in my book? It has...
