Summary: She's a four letter word and it starts with a C---Cold.
Review: Ileana Douglas delivers this incredible line that sums up this amazing film when I knew that Nicole Kidman was a force to be reckoned with. She is an amazing actress who so succinctly pulls off an incredibly hateful character. To watch her scheme and manipulate to further her TV dreams is amazing. As the script and director show the warping that TV creates and the insane frenzy to be on Tv people laugh but all of the reality shows prove this to be true. People will do anything to get onto television, even destroy themselves or the sanctity of marriage or relationships.
This insight into the minds of such people isn't so fictitious.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Only Girl for Matt?
Review: Insanely ambitious (or just plain insane) weather girl (Nicole Kidman) plots to kill adoring spouse (Matt Dillon) with the help of "three dorky kids." Anyone who likes this might also enjoy a movie called "Intimate Relations" if you can find it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OK black comedy
Review: It was pretty funny. It was interesting that it based on a true story

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: How to become a TV star
Review: Kidman gives an outstanding performance, perhaps one of her best. She is spunky, charming, hard-working, ruthless, and determined to become a TV star. Finally, she resorts to murder. She manipulates three high-school teenagers, including her under-age lover, into helping her getting rid of an inconvenient husband. Psychiatrists would probably diagnose her as having an Antisocial Personality Disorder -- lack of remorse. The plot is loosely based on the true story of a convicted New-Hampshire teacher who seduced a student and pushed him to kill her husband.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: just too sexy
Review: nicole kidman finally delivers the performance that we all knew she was inherently capable of. she just needed the right platform for it. in this movie she pulls off something that only she can achieve. she is intelligent, charming, vulnerable, ruthless, depraved, deluded and downright sexy all in one delectable lip smacking package that will haunt you for many days after you've watched it. there is no one sexier in this industry. it was an excellent idea on part of the director to not show her completely naked. this way the mind is made to imagine with painful clarity, the juicy niceties that she has concealed behind the velvet bikini.
in the scene where she is flashing her bikini to her morose friend, you would sell your soul to the devil to watch her take off those underpants.
nicole teases, taunts and plays with your hormones. her eyes will make you cringe with an unholy desire and her body (and the way she uses it ) will tear the restraint out of your system and pull mercilessly but oh so pleasurably at the rising blood in your body.

watch it. and keep a saucer below your mouth.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: chilling comedy/thriller
Review: Nicole Kidman gives a chilling performance in Gus Van Sant's comedy-thriller TO DIE FOR, a very good movie.

Suzanne Stone (Nicole Kidman) is a small-town girl with a big-city dream, to become a famous television personality. Her dream seems remote when she marries a mild-mannered Italian (Matt Dillon), and then tries to make her dream a reality.

Securing a job at a local television station, Suzanne decides to produce a documentary about teenagers, and begins a torrid, illicit affair with James (Joaquin Phoenix). She begs him to kill her husband....

A lethal concoction of humour, sexuality, lust and unbridled ambition, TO DIE FOR is a fantastic, hypnotic film that is an exellent study in human obsession.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: chilling!
Review: Nicole Kidman is perfect as the coldhearted, fiercely ambitious Suzanne Stone, who gets a job as a weather girl at a local TV startion and sees it as her stepping stone to fame as a broadcast journalist. She is married to a family-oriented lunkhead (Matt Dillon), a basically goodhearted guy who thinks her job is just a distraction till she gets pregnant. Suzanne gets involved with 3 teenagers --- incredibly painfully real next to her plastic exterior, particularly Alison Folland as Lydia ---- trying to break a story, and convinces one to help her murder her husband.

The performances are great, and the plot (based on a true story) is harrowing. This is a chilling tale of a modern Lady MacBeth that is worthy of 5 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What I'd Do to her...
Review: Nicole Kidman is TO DIE FOR in this movie. That leopard-skin outfit...oh my! Excellent movie, done very well. See it for Nicole...if only she had taken her clothes off...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A black comedy that shines like its star...
Review: Nicole Kidman is wonderfully wicked and calculating as Suzanne Stone. Her sugary sweet voice and ice princess demeanor are utterly flawless, just creepy enough to make for a great performance.
The supporting cast is excellent - every single actor brings something fresh and witty to the screen, making the story that much more enjoyable.
Buy it. I can't sit here and say anymore than that.
