Review: This movie is outrageous! I have loved it since the first time I saw it back in '84. Turner is like a super nova in this movie just blazing across the screen. The way she primps, struts, prisses, and drops her one-liner heavy dialogue is a delight. Perkins is creepy as hell and the hole thing just keeps pushing the envelope further and further. Definitely not for everybody, but if you have the taste for the bizarre, graphic, over-the-top filmaking, you'll love it.

Summary: Lines Worth Remembering
Review: Well, I am older then when I first saw this film. I have always been a fan of Ms. Turner, and the first time I saw it, I was sneaking the opportunity behind my family's back (I wouldn't suggest showing it to young people.) Ms. Turner's work is a lot different than Turner's work in Romancing the Stone! I continue to appreciate (as well as now better understand) this film. The dialogue is quite memorable at times. And I have caught myself quoting it on occasion. "Curiosity killed the cat" "Not until he got out of the bag" (paraphrased) Ms. Turner's work is very impressive. And I still think she deserves an oscar for SOMETHING. Perhaps, Sofia Coppla's new film, the Virgin Suicides? (I haven't had the opportunity to see it yet.) Anyways, happy watching . . . keep an eye out for the music video within the movie - disturbing and somewhat unforgettable. Melissa

Summary: "WOMAN, NOT QUITE IN LOVE"
Review: Whoa! Hold it! Open your eyes now - Isn't this plot kind of familiar? Like the newer "Eyes Wide Shut" - it's also a mystery, a nocturnal journey with dangerous liasons and then some. This is Ken Russell's magnificent gallop though the ever festering Los Angeles psyche of sex and depravity! Lay it on Baby! Kathleen Turner is astounding as this modern day incarnation of Gudrun ["Women in Love"], she's quite a brave actress and totally unafraid of being very frank or real. In Europe? She'd be worshipped, and probably is! John Laughlin as the not so obscure object of desire is totally believable as the husband now straying deeper and deeper into sexual obsession. Now, ladies, check your husband's cell-phone log..... [Annie Potts as the wife is so unappreciated!] THEN there's the unforgettable ANTHONY PERKINS like the fellow in Joan Crawford's "Rain" trying to reform the fallen. Another brave performance, and will be recognized as the years pass for his remarkable talent [yes mother, there is a world beyond our motel .....]. The movie has that "blueish, soft focus" Kubrick-touch and is closed to the heart than "Eyes Wide Shut" and far more, [nightstick sequence reinserted] more appropriate. It even has a similar final closing line. WARNING : This is an adult movie, quite graphic for it's time....
