Summary: Rabbit stew anyone?
Review: Sorry, but I don't get off on boiled pets and slashed wrists. I found the scene with the boiling pet rabbit extremely distasteful. I avoid this film like the plague.

Summary: Glenn Close In Her Finest Performance......
Review: This is the film that started it all! The movies about the unfaithful husband whose "other woman" comes back to make his family's life a living hell. People magazine says,"People can not stop talking about this movie." Its the 1987 classic film starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close, directed by Adrian Lyne about a successful married lawyer who decides to have a .... encounter with a beautiful blonde associate he barely knows. While his wife and child are out of town, the two hit it off well and spend a wild night of passion together. But, when Douglas tells Close he has to return home to his family and that they can never be together again, she has a different reaction. After many unsuccessful attempts to win his affection again, Close becomes obsessive and eratic. Douglas eventually tells her clearly to stay away from him and his family which only fuels the fire and drives Close to the edge. She stops at nothing and builds the tension of this movie from the ... beginning to the nerve-shattering conclusion. Anne Archer plays a convincing role as the innocent wife whose life is being torn apart by the deadly other woman's shocking torments. This movie is truly explicit in its depiction of a dangerous obsession that leads to three shattered lives and an unforgettable ending. Adding this movie to your collection could be a great investment. It also was nominated for 6 Academy Awards in 1987 including Best Picture and Best Actress. The chemistry between Michael Douglas and Glenn Close is extrodinary.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: An intriguing movie that makes you count your blessings. Imagine being stalked the way Douglas is stalked by Close in this brilliant movie. A simple storyline, but with great acting and awesome twists, you can safely purchase this and watch it over and over again. I eagerly await the DVD copy!

Summary: Great fun but . . .
Review: Not a suspense film as such - we find out very early on who are "goodies" and the "baddies", but one thing the cheerers at Glenn Close's shooting didn't seem to consider is that she was pregnant at the time. Interesting morality point rather glossed over by the movie, but it was still a good one. Worth buying for sure.

Summary: Fatal Attraction - Cause and effect, reconsidering?
Review: I liked Fatal Attraction for its directing and story line. For once the devious perpetrator got what she deserved. The angles of the camera and the depth of the emotion in the actors was very dramatic, and the preservation of the morals in this marriage by realizing the mistake made were the controlling factors in this movie being acceptable. The "oneness" of the couple made this movie great, and the exposing of the methods and determination of the perpetrator made it enlightening. If 'Micheal Douglas' had wanted that woman I would have hated this movie. "The good guys won".

Summary: SCARY AND SOBERING
Review: It's 11 pm, past my normal bedtime, yet I don't feel like sleeping. This movie is to blame. When I first started watching it, I didn't have very high hopes for it: Michael Douglas? (I don't think he's that great an actor, his fame just stems from his dad.) Probably another predictable story-line, just like most if not all other thrillers. Well, as it turned out, I was very impressed with Mr. Douglas's performance--very convincing. The storyline WAS predictable, but in some parts it was handled very well--the rabbit scene, VERY well done. (No pun intended.) I did feel, however, that the movie sympathized with Michael Douglas's character too much. It only made sense that he be the one to sympathize with after the horrific rabbit-scene. Although Glen Close played her part VERY well too, I couldn't understand why Douglas fell for her in the first place. She wasn't THAT sexy or good looking. Handsome, at best. And then there's that kid--the girl. Problem is, she looks like a guy. Even at that age you can usually tell by the hair-length and face, but here it was nearly impossible. The ending I saw--the one where the wife shoots Glen Close--was dreadfully predictable. I HATE IT when movies do that. Apart from those VERY MINOR points, this movie did very well in being scary, mostly realistic, and getting some morals across. This movie definitely does not glorify adultery. Something movies need to do more often. As for the length, I didn't think it was that bad. Between 2 and 3 hours, but a very FAST 2-3 hours. It may be rated R, but I think all of us would benefit from seeing this movie.

Summary: A Sexual Thriller That You Cannot Get enough of!!!
Review: I have seen Fatal Attraction some many times, my head wants to spin! Fatal Attraction stars Michael Douglas as Dan Gallagher, a man who is a lawyer and is married with a wife and a child. His wife (Anne Archer) decides that on one weekend she wants to go and visits a home that is for sale. Gallagher cannot go because he has been summon to a meeting at his law firm. So, Gallaher's wife and daughter go out to visit the house, and the wife and daughter stay with her parents because her parents do not live far away from the house that they are considering buying. While the wife and daughter are gone, he ends up having a steamy affair with Alex Forrester (Glen Close) for the weekend. Alex is not a very stable woman, and the first sign she shows of this is when she cuts her wrists. Later on, Alex makes the attraction deadly. She gets madder than hell when Dan keeps ignoring her, and he does not want to take her phone calls, messages or wants to visit her. Basically, the message that he is trying to tell her is that "it just a fling, and there was nothing more to it". But Alex thinks it is "just more than a fling" as she trails Dan with her obsession that "they are meant to be together". Archer, Douglas, and Close have a dynamitic chemistry on screen together that makes "Fatal Attraction" one of the best sexual thrillers in the 20th century!

Summary: Way too overrated!
Review: A pretentious and predictable thriller which fails to thrill or offer anything new. Michael Douglas risks it all by by cheating on his wife with Close one day. Yet of course Glenn still wants him and it all goes nightmarish after a while. Good cast is wasted in typically inept Lyne movie.

Summary: A film gem showing the darkside of human nature & passion
Review: Michael Douglas plays the character of the unfaithful spouse who screws up his life with his beautiful wife and child for a weekend fling with a sexy,unstable and vindictive woman played by Glen Close(in my mind should of won the oscar for such an amazing and convincing performence)who won't let go of him and makes his life a miserable hell. By doing so she starts making harrasing phone calls, destroying his car, and in the memorable rabbit boling scene. Douglas finally has enough and has the courage to tell his wife of his fling and she flips out on him and rightfully so. So in a last chance to save his marraige he confronts the psychopath in her apartment and the two have an all out battle with Close & Douglas chasing each other all around. Great scene was when out of nowhere Close comes at Douglas with a butcher knife, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned that saying is effectivley shown in this film. All this leads to the climatic finale at Douglas's home when Close tries to kill them all but is shot down by Douglas's wife. There are two endings to this film i know of this ending and Close ending up killing herself and having Douglas arrested. This film is done in almost the same style as Clint Eastwood's PLAY MISTY FOR ME(1971) But something about this film makes it creative and unforgettable thanks to the chemisty of Douglas & Close. This film will always remain one of the best thrillers dealing with maritel bliss & unbound passion.
