Summary: Just another one.
Review: This is just another teenage movie that has nothing more to do than "waste" you two hours! It is not so bad but it is not good eithr. There are thousands of movies based on a girl's fatal obsession with a boy and no matter how hot the chicks are, they cannot make it special! Just a usual film with handsome boys and beautiful lethal women! It depends on the viewer whether he wants to spend two hours watching it or not! Simple as that!

Summary: OK, was anyone else rooting for the villain?
Review: Erika Christensen, as the homicidal psycho girl who becomes obsessive whenever Jesse Bradford takes his shirt off, steals the movie as Madison Bell, an intelligent, attractive girl who thinks everyone else around her is a dim, uninteresting moron. Usually she's right.Shiri Appleby, that girl from "Roswell," plays Bradford's boring-as-hell, plain-Jane, working-class, sweet girlfriend so well that you wonder why on Earth he'd be attracted to her over the gorgeous, forward, albeit nutso Erika Christensen. When my friend Kacoon and I saw this, our favorite scene was Madison's "swimming lesson," where she essentially rides cleavage-first on Jesse Bradford's chest until he takes the not-so-subtle hint. The plot is your formula psycho-stalker movie, done to death with films like "Fatal Attraction" and "The Temp." If you want to see a variation on the theme that actually works really well, watch "One Hour Photo." To see cute people in trouble and in the swimming pool, watch this.

Summary: Swimfan (A ride of suspense)
Review: I was a little skeptical on viewing this movie. I thought the concept could be a little cheesy. For the fact that, the entire swimteam of my town went to it.And, had to comment on how he swam. But anyways, i was really hypotized or drawn into this movie. It held a great theme throughout. The ending could have been a little better, but overall it is definately worth seeing.

Summary: Not Bad at All
Review: This was really the good thriller teens are looking for. I found myself on the edge of my seat through most of the movie. The only reason I'm giving it 4/5 stars is because of the last minute of the movie, which I won't tell you about.
The movie is about Ben, the star of his high school's swim team. He is a former druggie that has managed to put his life back together. His life is going great. He's confident about a college scholarship, and has a loving girlfriend, Amy. Then, Madison moves into town. At first, Jessie tries to ignore his instant attraction to her, but when they end up in the school pool together, there's no stopping them. That night in the pool will be a night Ben will regret forever, not only because of Amy, but because now, Madison is confident that Ben will be her's and only her's at any cost. I totally recommend this movie for us teens, but not for adults.

Summary: Spooky, holds your interest, but not for everyone
Review: Whew! What a trip. This movie is about a stalker, reminiscent of FATAL ATTRACTION, but with some differences - this time the chilling menacing character is a teenager, she doesn't become pregnant that we know of, and she's if anything all the more chilling and menacing. Her name is Madison Bell (not a Wisconsin phone company), and she's played be Erika Christensen. It's a movie and a performance one will never forget (Caution - it could cause nightmares!). Her prey is a guy in a seemingly hunky-dory relationship with a girlfriend. Some reviewers want to make this a morality play about "don't cheat on your girlfriend" but that is really missing the point. Yes, her prey does have a "one-night-stand" with Madison. But that doesn't seem to turn her into a crazed stalker; it seems undoubtably that she was a crazed stalker already! Any attempts to blame the victim just don't wash at all in this case. It reminds me of what I've often heard recently from one news commentator, that there IS such a thing as just plain evil. Madison is evil; we needn't require that we find something that made her that way. If things that happened to her contributed to the way she is, that was all undoubtably before the movie's time frame. She clearly would have been menacing to her prey with or without his succumbing to the "one-night-stand"; that isn't a key plot turn in this case. And heaven help any unattached guy that Madison might have gone after -- this is definitely not mainly about cheating on one's girlfriend! I found this a highly watchable and captivating thriller, but not everybody would. A certain boy friend I know found it entirely "too close for comfort", and quite understandably so, as he's been the victim of a female stalker. By no means can one blame him for not warming up to this as "entertainment"!

Summary: Wretched
Review: Don't be fooled by the slick, enticing previews for this film. To make them, they pulled all the decent parts out of Swimfan and turned them into a two minute trailer. The other hour and a half that you're forced to endure is pure garbage. The so called plot revolves around troubled teen turned all American athelete (Jesse Bradford) who's hoping to get into college on a swimming scholarship. Everything's going great for swimmer boy; he's got a loving girlfriend, a caring mom, and has really turned his life around. Enter Southern belle Madison (Erika Christiansen), and things get ugly. After a late night bang in the school swimming pool, Madison seems to think that she and her one night stand are destined to be together. Of course, in typical Hollywood Fatal Attraction fashion, she starts stalking him and doing all sorts of nasty things to get break he and his girlfriend up. Naturally, everything comes down to a big showdown between the three parties. Swimfan was halfway decent up until the completely fake looking pool scene. Not since Showgirls have pool antics been so humorous. However, that scene looks like Oscar quality work compared to the remaining hour of the film. The script is terrible, the acting is bad, and it's completely predictable. One can expect this sort of [stuff] from Jesse Bradford (after all, he was in Bing it On), but seeing Erika Christiansen (Traffic) degrade herself to this was just painful to watch. Do yourself a favor and avoid this completely. The 13-17 set might enjoy it, but it's a cautionary rental at best.

Summary: One of the scary movies
Review: When I went and saw Swimfan I saw the scariest movie of September. To me it was more scary than Signs and it was less scarier than Scream. So I would like to say if any boy saw that movie they would never cheat on their girlfriend. So maybe all the girls should take their boyfriends to see that movie and scare them into not cheating on them. It scared me into not cheating on my girlfriend and now me and my girlfriend have a better relationship, so I would like to say to all the girls out there who are reading this review that you really should take your boyfriend to see this movie. In conclusion I would like to state that this was a good movie.

Summary: Tell Me You Love Me
Review: This is "Fatal Attraction" meets "Can't Hardly Wait". Swim star Ben (Jesse Bradford) has a picture-perfect romance with Amy (Shiri Appleby) until Madison (Erika Christensen) comes around. Ben and Madison have a one-night-stand then Madison goes completely psycho with incessant e-mails, phone calls, pages and little gifts in his locker. Madison even goes to lengths as to ruin Ben's budding swimming future with an accusation of steroids and almost murdering an elderly man Ben works with at a hospital. Madison yet refuses to see her and Ben's relationship for what it is (or what it isn't). The ending is predictable and teens films are beginning to tire me. See "Fatal Attraction" if you really want to see someone go crazy!

Summary: don't underestimate the value of a hairpin...
Review: SWIMFAN is the only film I went to see in a theater this summer and her name is SHIRI APPLEBY. ^_^ Delectable Shiri [Roswell - TV] gamely transcends yet another thinly-drawn character to shine on the silver screen and make my heart skip a beat or two. (sigh!) Shiri holds her own opposite Jesse Bradford [Clockstoppers] and the formidable Erika Christensen [Traffic] in a script that ultimately satisfies, but telegraphs its plot twists and turns rather blatantly. The storyline follows BEN (Bradford) nonchalantly "swimming" through his perfect high school world of athletics and the attentions of lovely AMY (Appleby)--until the new girl, MADISON (Christensen), does her "Siren/Succubus" thing and methodically disassembles it. Will Ben's momentary lapse of reason "drown" him and his posse? Honorable mention to James DeBello for his effective portrayal of CHRISTOPHER DANTE, Madison's socially-challenged cousin who "knows where the bodies are buried." SWIMFAN is Hollywood formula, The end-credits' song EVERYTHING by New Zealand rockers Pacifier had me checking for the soundtrack (and their other recordings as Pacifier and Shihad). Yes, I will be buying the DVD and yes, I am composing scripts to better showcase the talents of Ms. Appleby... happy trails, fellow cinema junkies -_^
