Summary: genesis for ignored sparks...
Review: I watched the film before I read the book... and not just for Angelina. I was stunned. I was expecting a chick-flick, stereotype of sorts, yet none of that was delivered. You innocently absorb this movie, later (especially when the last line is spoken...) realize you've fallen for it. Fallen for the characters, the rage... and the rewind button pulls you back to reality. The musique is amazing, as its a perfect companion to the mood of the movie.... I actually liked the film more than the book (a rare occurance) as I felt as though the movie evoked more potent emotion. You need sounds and images to accompany the story... it's beautiful. highly recommended.

Summary: One word, and only one word:
Review: ANGELINA!She is, by far, the star most likely to sleep with her fans (according to Maxim Magazine). And you can see why: her performance here oozes sensuality. She has a lust affair with the camera and the her acting power is overpowering. Watch as this budding actress bursts forth.

Summary: you have to be a certain kind of person to enjoy this film..
Review: Most people put this film in the "chick flick" or "grrul" film catagory, but it doesn't belong there. This film is for anyone who knows what its like to be beaten down or walked over on a regular basis. Women are more likely to feel this way of course, but thats another subject. This movie isn't just about lesbians or man bashing. Its about the fact that no matter how tough or strong people are, we all need support/friendship/love. *sorry, I didn't intend to make this a sentimental review* The film has great performances by good actresses that are little know (except of course Ms. Jolie). Rent it first, but the odds are you're want to buy it. Its a great, little known indie film

Summary: Pushes All My Buttons
Review: I probably shouldn't like this film,but for some reason,I love it.Having never read the book it's based on,I only have the film's plot to go by,which is basiclly--alienated teens brought together by mysterious,charismatic stranger.Nothing really special,and truthfully,it's all a bit cliched and predictable.So I just don't know why this appeals to me so much.It's got a lot to do with Hedy Buress as Maddy.She just seems so cool and smart,and she has fabulous hair.I don't know.It's wierd.Anyway,I suppose if I like it without a real reason,then you probably could too.Check it out,who knows?

Summary: foxfire
Review: There have been so many male bonding films over the years that it seems only fair that we're finally being exposed to the female versions. Unfortunately, like their other-gender counterparts, these tend towards cliched melodrama rather than something more insightful and character-driven. Foxfire, which is about five teenage girls taking a walk on the wild side, has its share of incisive, intelligent moments, but the film as a whole is undermined by a silly plot and the bland characterization of secondary players. Therefore, what could have been a younger version of last year's little-seen Live Nude Girls devolves into something just a little loftier than an exploitation flick. In '80s and '90s male bonding movies (there are so many out there, you can take your pick), the guys usually get together, have a few beers, and talk about girls. If the director has been influenced by Quentin Tarantino, maybe they go on a crime spree, but, mostly, they just sort of pal around, doing "guy things." If we're to believe Foxfire, when gals congregate, they engage in slightly more esoteric rituals, like taking their shirts off and tattooing their breasts. It has been said that every same-sex bonding picture has a homoerotic undercurrent. This may not always be true, but there's no doubt about the lesbian leanings in Foxfire. The film never crosses the line from the unspoken to the acted-upon, but there are enough longing looks and pregnant pauses to make the reality of the situation apparent to even the most oblivious viewer. However, the issue of lesbianism in never confronted head-on, so we aren't given the opportunity to judge whether its inclusion would have made Foxfire a better motion picture. Foxfire, which is based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates, has undergone significant modernization to change the setting from the '50s to the '90s, but the theme of female empowerment is still at the forefront. The movie opens in a Portland, Oregon high school, where a nasty biology teacher (John Diehl) is tormenting a young female student, Rita (Jenny Lewis), because she won't dissect her frog. He assigns her to detention, where, as it's known, he sexually molests girls. Later that day, when Rita shows up for her after-school punishment, she's not alone. With her are four others: Maddy (Hedy Burress), a "good" student with a promising future; Violet (Sarah Rosenberg), one of the teacher's past victims; Goldie (Jenny Shimizu), an exotic-looking girl with a drug problem; and Legs (Angeline Jolie), a mysterious drifter who has just arrived in town. Led by Legs, the girls make sure the teacher won't be engaging in any more sexual harassment -- they leave him beaten and bloody. The next day, as a group, they are called into the principal's office and suspended. That's when the fun -- which includes a variety of criminal acts -- begins. The best scenes in Foxfire are those where the five protagonists sit together and talk. There's a ring of truth to some of their conversations, and, during these moments, the Foxfire girls attain a multi-dimensional level that they don't have for much of the rest of the film. There are a number of weak plot developments, including the opening stuff with the biology teacher, and the climactic sequence, which involves guns and a kidnapping. Had Foxfire eliminated some of the melodrama and remained low-key, it would have been a more enjoyable experience. Angeline Jolie's Legs is a rebel with a cause. With her wild nature and troubled past, she provides the spark that impels her four friends to turn their backs on conventions. As in Hackers, Jolie's combination of sensuality and toughness makes for a beguiling portrayal. The other members of the quintet are variations of familiar types. Maddy, from whose point-of-view the story is told, is the girl-next-door with the supportive mother. Rita is the ineffectual virgin. Violet is the sexually promiscuous one. And Goldie is the pot-head with the dysfunctional family. The young actresses do solid, if unspectacular, jobs. With few exceptions, the supporting characters are unpleasant and one-dimensional -- unsympathetic adults and bullying boys. With its themes of revenge and empowerment, Foxfire is big on payback; unfortunately, there's not quite enough here to recompense those who sit in the audience for its hundred-minute running time. It's not as bad as some of the other drek being released on this sad weekend, but even such faint praise doesn't earn it a recommendation.

Summary: Wonderful movie about friendships
Review: The first time I saw this movie I was home by myself and had just woke up from a nap. Right away it caught my attention, and although I had somewhere to go, I couldn't leave until I watched the whole movie. I wish I had friends like that in school. Very rarely do you see people willing to do anything to help out a friend, but yet everything was so realistic. I probably watch this movie at least once a month. I relate to everyone in the movie in one way or another.

Summary: one of my all-time closet favorite movies.
Review: this movie is my stealthily eaten bon-bon. little of substance, but sensually invigorating. though this film, in a "deeper meaning" sense, rings hollow, and though some of the scenes are startlingly formulaic, there is a lot here about female beauty and eroticism in many forms. the depiction of sexual/sensual tension between women rings real to me; it was refreshingly free of that "girl-on-girl action" feeling. maybe i'm riding solely on aesthetics here (anyone with any of the five senses working can understand the beauty of angelina jolie, for example), but there is much that is gorgeous in this film. it's a satisfying indulgence.

Summary: great story
Review: I was very surprised and impressed by this movie. I was on the edge of my seat at times. I only wish there would have been one good kiss before the end. I thought all of the main characters did a great job, but I feel in love with matty. What a cutie. I would love to hear of any other movies she's in along this theme. If you are not sure rent it and then you will want to buy it.
