Women Movie Reviews

Francois Truffaut has made some wonderful films in the past such as "400 Blows" (Which is my fvaorite), "Stolen Kisses", and "Day For Night". And this film makes the list also. Fans of Truffaut are sure to love this movie, as are foreign film fans too. The movie is about a man who falls in love with every women he meets. Which sounds perfectly normal to me. He is completely enthralled with women, and loves everything about them, as he tells us about the different types of women. He also tells us just how much he loves legs, which is something I wouldn't mind majoring in college. Legs, to him, are the most important part on a women, that's funny, I can think of another! This is a comedy, and does offer some laughs. Which was a shock to me, because foreign comedies aren't usually that funny to me, except for a certain Bergman one. This is a wonderful movie to watch with friends or by yourself. It's bound to entertain all who watch it. I wouldn't suggest you start to watch Truffaut films with this though. For that I suggest "400 Blows". Watch this one after you've realize the genius of Truffaut, which shouldn't take you very long anyway. A priceless foreign treat :)

This is one of Truffaut's best films and it is an excellent exploration into the impulses that drive men to seek out a woman. The main character falls in love with any woman who catches his eye and in one case is so attracted to a pair of legs that he seeks out the woman with a very devious - but innocent - system that will ring true to many a romantic Casanova. the man is so obsessed by women - never in a bad way - that he decides to explore his feelings through a book. as he looks for the publisher he ends up finding t=yet another interest. the film, however, in no way presents women in a degrading way and is very thoughtful in its respect of women in fact. The main character could be compared to Casanova as he too loved and respected women. the film has a comedic tone and almost comes across as a personal documentary as the scientist narrates his feelings and motivations. The subject matter and its portrayal are still relevant today. excellent.

esta pelicula, usa recursos visuales, no hay tiroteos,no hay persecusionesm ni violencia, pero es genial, magnifica y tan diferente de estas peliculas americanas que solo sobresaltan la violencia y las persecusiones, es la simple historia de un hombre que ama a las mujeres, que las seduce y que escribe sobre ellas, cuando la empeze a ver, senti cierta temor a aburrirme porque no entendia frances, y noi queria leer, pero la pelicula me dejo literalmente pegado a la silla, por sus recursos visuales y por su simpleza, que es solo superficial, pues se trata mas que de un don juan, un estudio filosofico del protagonista. porque persigue el a todas las muejeres es algo innato, es celebracion caceria, sufrimiento¨? mi escena favorita es cuando pone un anuncio solicitando una ninera y cuando la muchacha llega a la casa le pregunta que donde esta el bebe que hay que cuidar y el responde yo soy el bebe..... esta pelicula es realmente excelente para quienes quieren dejar de ver las mismas cosas con diferentes caras...

At first, I thought it is another B-movie about horny, out of control, college kids experiencing life. Well, it is, except, it is not a B-movie, and it is funny! The not well-known cast of 100 Women adds to the movie. There are no stereotypes about the characters only about the story.

A very bright and likable student is on a mission to find a girl he met in a blackout. His problem; he doesn't know who she is or what she looks like! He leaves no stone unturned in his effort to find that girl, the girl of his dreams. In the process, a co-ed friend talks him into cross-dressing to understand what a women experience. This experience actually helps him mature in a college way, and develops respect for women realizing how men can be so primitive. Shame on males for being so primitive acting the way they do! Like we needed another movie to confirm what we already know. 100 Women is another movie about college kids experiencing their liberation from parents. However, this movie unlike similar movies works. 100 Women is worth watching. There are many memorable one-liners will keep you laughing. This movie is worthy of it R rating and parental guidance is strongly advised.

This movie "100 Women" is by the maker of "100 girls" but they are two separate movies. Each are realistic in their depiction of a young man seeking genuine love & sex but this movie is about Sam who's a dexterity-challenged art student having the worst day of his life when a streak of fate & a gust of wind blows Hope ( a young woman )across his path. Hope cheers him up- restoring his faith in life. The next time the Sam meets Hope-she's living in a woman's residence & is irreversibly depressed. Sam embarks on a mission to restore her zest for life. Along the way, Sam finds the smile he's been looking for in the last place he thought he would ever find it. Chad Donella,Erinn Bartlett,Jennifer Morrison, Clint Howard, Steve Monroe. By the Writers & directors of " 8 days a Week" & " 100 Girls". It's a Sexy-Sexual Romantic Comedy with a love for love & a love for life & a Male's View of Loving Women and loving A woman.

Not nearly as explicit as today's Penthouse features, this movie is still worth picking up. The girls are still hot and show you quite a bit for a flick from that time. The girl-girl sequence featuring Julie Strain is still great, but I've seen still shots on-line of the uncensored version, which is fully hard-core. (If anyone knows where I can get a video version of this, let me know please!) Not only is the music great, featuring real bands as opposed to stock background stuff, but you even get a brief schooling on some of the finer automobiles in the world. Having hot naked women climb all over them doesn't hurt either.

Let me be frank--every minute of this video will not thrill you. But there are several scenes well worth the price. Julie Strain pairs up with another woman in a short--but oh, so sweet--scene that for the time was the most graphic girl-girl action you could find outside XXX movies. Jisel/Brandy stars in a car wash scene that leaves you squeaky-clean, as well. The late Savannah gyrates all over a Porsche, and there is an unnamed bombshell who flaunts her fantastic body all over a Stutz Bearcat. The premise in the video is a bit silly, but the bodies (both female and automobile) are first-class, and enough (tasteful) skin is shown to get your motor revving. If you like hard rock, you'll enjoy the soundtrack, too, with songs by Saigon Kick and Herricane Alice. Much better than the tripe Penthouse has been passing off as "erotic" lately, though (to be honest) tamer, as well... hotter than Playboy videos, though.

A great way to get excited about mountain biking. Easy to learn tips for the beginner, female or male, from world class mountain biker, Sue Haywood. Will help you conquer your fear of riding off road. Laid back friendly feel of the participants lends a unique perspective not usually seen in training videos. Definitely worthwile for the novice off-road rider!

Although my own biking has been limited to road riding...I found this introduction to mountain biking interesting, informative...and even inspiring. The video makes mountain biking far more accessible to the average weekend warrior than I had imagined...it does not necessarily have to be the "extreme sport" I envisioned. The segments on technique, bike selection and bike maintenance are all helpful and encouraging.

The producers have an affection for this sport and although the video is clearly directed toward women it will serve as an excellent introduction to anyone. The overall sense is that mountain biking is not only a healthy outdoor activity but a lot of fun as well.

If you're a fan of horror hosts and demented daytime kid's TV shows check out the extras on this product. Bonus episodes of the great underground program, "Ghoul-A-Go-Go" featuring the creepy Vlad and Creighton. Great stuff. My daughter absolutely loves Creighton, a king-size hunchback mute with an obsession for classic 60s go-go dancing and who happens to horde a collection of bizarre film footage. Performances by contemporary retro-garage rock bands are a treat, too. Don't overlook this!

The first of what is promised to be a release of Mexican horror films purchased from Mexico by exploitation meister K. Gordon Murray in the early Sixties. Lots of related TV spots/trailers, with LOTS!!! OF!!! ECHO!!! ON!!! THE!!!! ANNOUNCER'S!!! VOICE!!!! Good reading on the included eight page booklet talking about Murray's career. Wacky gorillas! Mad scientists! Masked wrestlers! Bad Twist music! These have got it all. But I can't wait for my two favorites, once glimpsed in a drunken state at 3:00 a.m. on a New Jersey UHF station: The Brainiac and the truly creepy Curse of The Doll People! Cursed dolls come to life and start stabbing people to death! THis is 30 years before "Chucky", remember!

Just watched this fantastic DVD. Fans of Something Weird or fans of insane movies in general will love it! But don't just buy this disk for the movies. The EXTRAS are the best part. Especially Ghoul A Go Go. This public access tv show out of Long Island is the coolest! Any fan of the whole Horror Host scene must see for him/herself Vlad (the coolest vampire cat on the tube) and Creighton (the baddest/cuddliest hunchback you've ever seen) keep TV creepy with the most whacked-out kids dance show ever. So, put on your Go Go boots and get ready to twist... or boogaloo... or swim.... or....

Complete and utter camp, The New Women is a must see for anyone into cult B-movies. Full of hilariously bad lines, weird sci-fi twists and kooky characters, it wears its love of John Waters and Russ Meyer on its sleeve. It stars Mary Woronov ("Eating Raoul") as Lisa LaStrada whose husband is cheating on her with the town slut. At her sister's BBQ, she starts boozing it up for the first time in 3 years and spirals down into a despair the likes of which only Devine has ever surpassed.

On her way home from the party, a weird rainstorm hits. It causes the entire world to go into a sleep from which only the women awake days later. What will Lisa do? Why, take her cheatin' husbands' job as town sheriff and unsuccessfully attempt to stop the rampant looting and chaos, of course.

And it gets loonier. It eventually turns into a road movie when Lisa, her sister, the town's senior citizen floozy, and the local feminist all jump in an RV and head to Elysium, a new society that was made by women for women. On the way, they meet hippie chicks, biker babes and scientists who want to make sure the human race continues. There are enough zany shenanigans here to satisfy the guiltiest of pleasures.

A fagulous midnight movie, now available 24/7 via DVD release! Todd Hughes' premier full-length feature stars cult phenomenon Mary Woronov in her best role since _Eating Raoul_, and a sumptous performance by Sandra Kinder (_Twin Peaks_: "Want to know our specials? We don't have any."). The always enchanting Roma Maffia and buzz-cut butch pin-up girl Jenny Shimizu also appear in this mind-melting take on the apocalypse. It's like a strong cigarette: your head spinning is the POINT, sweetheart.

Within THE NEW WOMEN's opening minutes, at least 10 ways to love the feature film emerge. You've got a sumptuous, rural noir road trip. You've got femmes - fatale, frisky and fierce. You've got film references that range from '40s noir to '50s sci-fi to '60s chixploitation to '70s apocalypse, and that crackling, smart dialogue we haven't heard for decades. While the film's core is feminine nuance, the film's look is a rhapsody of texture.
THE NEW WOMEN gives you that rare aesthetic density, a funky, sophisticated humor and a provocative voila! Riffing off the feisty, all-female melodrama George Cukor pioneered in THE WOMEN, this film likewise exults in an all-girl milieu, but amped with a sci-fi premise. The film's humor is sharp and ingenious, and the women are by turns frenetic, profound, campy and coy - full-bodied females that straight cinema could care less about.

As a full figured woman myself, I badly wanted to like this indie film. But it's shallow and full of cliches and very underwritten, with many unrealistic events and situations that seem artificial.

America Ferrara plays the heroine Ana, who is only slightly overweight by normal people standards but of course HUGELY FAT by the standards of Hollywood and the media. In most parts of the world and throughout most of human history (until the last 40 years or so), she would have been considered a beautiful, sexy, curvaceous fertility symbol. Now, sadly, any young woman who looks like Ana is considered obese. It is very hard to believe that Ana is really as confident as she comes on -- considering her weight a kinda of "f__k you" to the larger society -- without a drop of insecurity or pain. The movie does not explore this duality of liking yourself and still feeling bad that your physical appearance is scorned.

Oddly enough, Hispanic culture is one where fuller figured women are traditionally more accepted than in mainstream Anglo culture. So the filmakers choose an odd cultural setting for their story. Also, Ana gets the most flack from her overweight mom....she is totally accepted by her skinny white boyfriend from Beverly Hills. Huh? This doesn't seem real to me in the slightest. Not that mom's don't nag you about your weight, but in the long run, a mom -- especially one struggling with her own weight -- is more likely to be sympathetic to your problem. And the harsh reality is that boys, especially teenagers from a wealthy enclave, are likely to be the cruelest critics of all. We are never shown any problems Ana has encounted going to high school in Beverly Hills, surrounded by rich super-skinny Anglo chicks. Isn't she teased and made fun of there? We aren't given a hint.

By the way, is it policy in L.A. for high achieving students from inner city neighborhoods to be pulled from their local schools and sent to snotty Beverly Hills? I don't live there so I don't know. All I can say is they don't do it in my community, and with good reason -- why would you deprive local schools of their ONLY good students? and leave them with only underachievers, thus pulling down their overall standards and demoralizing the remaining students.

Another shortfall in the movie is Ana's job in her sister's dressmaking business. It's set up kinda like it's a sweatshop, but it's not really -- she works for her kind, lovable sister alongside her mom and some other women. There is no exploitative "overboss" and when a couple women quit, there is seeming no one to replace them. Huh? No lines of unemployed immigrants waiting for low paying jobs? This is a sweatshop fantasy conjured by filmakers who have never been inside a real sweatshop. Also, I couldn't help but think since they are making $600 dress for $18, why don't they just go into business for themselves with a custom dressmaking business? Maybe making dresses for full figured gals? (They are only sewing teeny tiny dresses for rich women.)

There are other gaffs -- Ana only starts thinking about college (and getting pushed by her teacher -- AFTER graduation. Doesn't anyone who ever went to college know that students start apply spring semester of senior year (or earlier!)? You don't typically get a full scholarship in late August, just a week or so before school starts. And why Colombia in New York, so far from her closeknit family? California has one of the finest and most affordable public university systems in the country, plus many excellent private colleges, some right in L.A. Ana doesn't seem to even explore the many choices available to her, including part-time schooling, community college etc. The Colombia scholarship just falls out of the sky, like a duex ex machina.

Another real credibility stretcher is the idea that Ana has waited until after high school graduation to even experiment with dating or sex. Come on people, what century is this? (...) There is nothing to suggest that Ana is sheltered or even very religious.

America Ferrera is a charming young actress. But sadly, unless she loses about 65 pounds, her career will be very limited, maybe a few chubby girlfriend parts at most. There is almost no place on the silver screen for a full figured woman.

"Real Women" is a disappointment from every angle. I truly wish this could have been better. This is a real and serious issue for young (and old) women. It deserves a serious, believable treatment, not ABC Afterschool Special fluff that ends happily and uncomplicatedly.

REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES continues the recent spate of cute generation gap films that began with MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, then continued with MONSOON WEDDING, BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM, and WHALE RIDER. In all cases, we are presented with a female protagonist endeavoring to break traditional cultural bonds being imposed by an older generation - father, mother, or grandparent.

In REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES, Ana (America Ferrera) has just graduated from a Beverly Hills high school, to which she buses every day from her family's home in east central Los Angeles. Not only is Ana a gifted student, but she's won a scholarship to Columbia University. However, her Latino parents, and especially her mother Carmen (Lupe Ontiveros), expect her not to abandon the nest, but rather work in her older sister Estela's (Ingrid Oliu) small clothing factory that creates fancy dresses for high-end retailers. Because Estela chronically operates short of employees and money and perilously close to production deadlines, her establishment is a figurative and literal sweatshop, especially since the fans can't be turned on as they would blow dirt onto the finished goods. Needless to say, Ana loathes working for her sister.

Ana is also overweight. It doesn't help her self-image that Mom, who fears for her younger daughter's marriage prospects, habitually addresses Ana as "Fatty". The two have a tense relationship.

Because the creators of this film apparently endeavored to keep the storyline true to life, it also perhaps lacks entertainment value in comparison to the other movies mentioned. The finale of MONSOON WEDDING dazzled the viewer with a vibrantly colorful and joyous Indian marriage ceremony. BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM had a sports theme and included the Big Game. MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING was overtly comedic as a vegetarian WASP incorporates himself, via marriage, into an extended Greek family - emphatically neither vegetarian or WASP. WHALE RIDER included everybody's warm and fuzzy animal - whales. REAL WOMAN HAVE CURVES offers little more than a teenage girl with an understandably Bad Attitude.

I'll not say that this film is totally without merit. The best sequence involves Estela's employees, all zaftig, and including Ana, comparing stretch marks and cellulite, much to Carmen's horror. And the film's very last scene leaves the viewer feeling good about Ana's prospects in life. However, the movie as a whole isn't any more entertaining than watching the next door neighbor kid be normally rebellious. I wanted something more clever.

The name already hints about the content - which is not disappointing, especially when you see the curvy beauty of "Real Women..'s" heroine. Anna is an intelligent Hispanic girl, about to graduate from high school and encouraged by her professor to continue her studies in college. Anna's mother however has other plans for her: work at her sister's dress factory, loose weight and eventually find a husband. This mother has already given up on Anna's big sister, Estella, and now concentrates her efforts, manipulations and prayers on Anna. Anna herself, ambitious and proud of her body and brains has other plans for herself and she is not the one to be quiet about it.
The tale is not very unique, however truly enjoyable to watch, especially due to the major change - a "real woman" for the main character and not some skinny Hollywood girl. No...the women in this movie are curvy, fat and proud of their stretch marks..The fat-comparing scene, which is one of the movie's climax moments reminds me of Mel Gibson and Rene Russo comparing their scars in "Lethal weapon" and its as funny to watch.
Both Anna and her sister are lovely, real women characters, which immediately receive the viewer's sympathy. Their mother, however, is the one who evokes all possible emotions - ranging from hate to pity to compassion. I must confess I did not know that Hispanic mothers are a true rival to Jewish mothers in their ability to evoke drama and use all possible manipulations in order to make their child succumb to their wishes. This mother (which makes Anna and the viewer alike upset with her constant harassing and comments about Anna's fat) can be pitied and endearing at the same time and you end up understanding the way Anna feels.
Anna grows up to be an impressive young lady who shows in her character a lot of what she received from her parents and family. Maybe not exactly what they wanted or in the same way they hoped for, but no doubt someone a parent can be proud of.

In 1987, a group of five directors (Joe Dante, Carl Gottlieb, Peter Horton, John Landis and Robert Weiss) worked together to create a silly spoof of 1950's sci-fi films called "Amazon Women on the Moon". Each director focused on specific segments of the film to create the illusion that the audience is watching the fictitious film "Amazon Women on the Moon" from the 1950's interspersed with television commercials and other segments. Some of the main segments in the film include the following:
1. "Amazon Women on the Moon" with Capt. Nelson (Steve Forrest), Blackie (Robert Colbert), Butch (Joey Travolta), Queen Lara (Sybil Danning) and Alpha Beta (Lana Clarkson). This segment follows the astronauts traveling to the moon and finding a group of beautiful women living there.
2. "Murray in Videoland" with Murray (Lou Jacobi) and Selma (Erica Yohn). Murray gets more than he expected after purchasing a new TV.
3. "Mondo Condo" with an apartment victim played by Arsenio Hall. Arsenio gets a few surprises in his apartment.
4. "Hospital" with Brenda (Michelle Pfeiffer), Harry (Peter Horton), Doctor (Griffin Dunne) and the nurse (Brian Ann Zoccola). Not a hospital you would want to be in.
5. "Blacks Without Soul" with Don 'No Soul' Simmons (David Alan Grier) and B.B. King as himself. Funny spoofs of songs.
6. "Roast Your Loved One" with Harvey Pitnik (Archie Hahn), Bernice Pitnik (Belinda Balaski), Rick Raddnitz (Robert Picardo), Rip Taylor as himself, Slappy White as himself, Jackie Vernon as himself, Henny Youngman as himself, Charlie Callas as himself and Steve Allan as himself. Some silly jokes, but no great acting.

With such a huge cast, it's no wonder that the beginning credits only say "A lot of actors" instead of listing each one by name. Of the various segments, the ones listed above are the ones that I enjoyed the most. Since the film is intended to be segmented, having different directors control different segments is beneficial to the film instead of a hindrance. Being a spoof, the acting is intended to be silly, and that's how the film comes across.

Overall, I rate "Amazon Women on the Moon" with 3 out of 5 stars. I don't necessarily recommend purchase of the film on DVD, but it's certainly worth being rented if you have never seen it.

Okay, first time reviewer here, but I had to share this bit. First, I give the movie itself 5 stars - it is one of my favorites. About this DVD, however... Just bought it and briefly went through a couple of skits (I have them all memorized already) and I noticed a glarring error on the 'Hair Looming' skit - it has been edited/shortened!!! They totally cut out the part where they demonstrate how the hair stays on after the guy jumps of the cliffs of Acculpoco and the police drag his body to the shore and smile because the hair stayed on. (sp?). Why??? That was one of the funniest parts! I think there are a couple of other small omisions in there too - need to go all through it again, but the point is while a fantastic movie, they cut stuff out! I don't get it. If this is the only way to see the movie however (as my VHS copy broke recently), I guess it will have to do.

After about 10 viewings, I still can't decide whether the humor was actually funny or whether it was the realization that this movie was actually made at all that forever endeared it to me. The jokes are somewhat secondary to the ambiance this movie swims in. It's best appreciated with orange sunshine.

I came online looking for a cardio striptease that I could have fun with by myself for excercise and later with my husband once I got good. This program had a very few basic moves and went VEEEEEERY slowly. It never came together in the end with anything that you could remotely call a full dance, and there wasn't enough demonstration from the instructor to really allow me to make up my own. I can't even see myself practicing this one over and over again because I got bored with it fast. I'm looking for something new!

After trying belly dancing, I thought I'd take it to the next level and see if I could learn to let out the inner goddess in other interesting ways. I use a variety of exercise tapes and this one is perhaps the most exotic. What I was really looking for was a good workout with creative dancing.

This is not a video you will watch each time you want to "dance exotically." This is a video to teach you the basic moves.

I learned about 5 new moves that I was willing to add to my workout routine. Sometimes I just play music and make up my own moves. Sort of a dance routine that is flexible. It is more for my own relaxation and exercise. So, for that reason, I felt this was worth purchasing. I can tell you, I worked out muscles that none of my other workouts have touched.

I didn't really realize how much I was exercising because this video covers a lot of ground. You learn to walk, do hip rolls and then move to the floor to do various moves on your back. I loved the idea of pretending you were in a field of flowers. In many ways, this workout is also about letting out the inner joyful child who dances in fields of flowers.

The only problem with watching this video is that is it so fun to learn these exotic moves, you want to keep doing them all day long. LOL Look, I was never allowed to dance as a child. This is all new to me. For people who have been dancing all their lives, this might seem rather basic.

I would not suggest that you try this workout one day and expect to dance for your intimate partner the next day. You will be way too sore. Even if you have been using workout videos for years. Take your time. Watch this video a few times and then suddenly, weeks later, surprise your partner with a totally sexy new you.

The main benefits of this video:

You will release your inner goddess and let her out to play
You will achieve a new level of self confidence
You will spice up your relationship and amaze your partner

This workout also shows you how to maintain eye contact, let your guard down, try out new and exciting moves and use body language to increase your sensuality.

There is no nudity in this video. The women are all wearing workout clothes. They do use shirts to show a strip routine, but it is pretty calm. This is not really what you would see in a strip club (not that I've ever been to one, I just have seen women dancing in movies, and this is not quite at that level). This is more a series of sexy moves that you can incorporate into your own dance routines.

This really is a workout for everyday women. Many of the women in this video are just like you and I and they are not the type of women you would see dancing. So, that made me feel comfortable and even more confident.

So, give this a try. The worst that can happen is that you can hardly walk the next day because you have worked out your entire body. I had no idea this was such a great form of exercise. Look, I can't handle "fancy footwork" and I could actually do this video!

I agree with some of the other reviewers who said they would like to find a "solo" instructional video. This teaches you the moves, but it would be fun to find a video that was more of a workout routine. One you could use to workout to for an hour.

"The Art of Exotic Dancing For Everyday Women" is sexy, not slutty. That is an achievement in itself.

This video really got me and my husband into a sensual mindset like we have never previously experienced. Then we followed up with what we learned from Clint Arthur's "New Sex Now" video and "New Free Sex" dvd for some real fireworks.
