Women Movie Reviews

Boy, Playboy have a bit of a nerve putting out things like this. From a magazine that is famous for depicting beautiful naked women there is a noticeable lack of them in this DVD! It basically contains interviews with the ten girls and a documentary about their photoshoots. About the only nudity is half-second cut-overs to the still pictures that we have already seen in the magazine. This is a real shame because some of them appear to be very nice indeed. If you are interested in hearing why a 'beautiful barista' wants to appear in Playboy buy it - otherwise save your money.

Zespri-usa doesn't know what he's talking about. "The Women of Starbucks" is a TERRIFIC video - the hottest I've ever seen from Playboy. Largely that's because the women themselves are amazing. Elizabeth Dindial is arguably the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen, and there's not a bad one in the bunch. Compare that to the centerfolds in the magazine - every year has a bunch of relative losers, but not in this video. They're all beautiful and sexy.

And yes, the program itself DOES more resemble a documentary than a traditional Playboy video. Nonetheless, plenty of nudity appears, and the prior reviewer neglects to mention the DVD's extras. In the "music video" area you'll find roughly three-minute collections of footage for each model - that's about a half an hour of extra material, all of which is pure nudity.

I can't recommend this title highly enough. I've watched plenty of Playboy videos and felt disappointed, but this one was WELL worth the purchase!

No really this film is way more like a documentary, I would have never thought playboy was into doing documentaries. This is a pretty good documentary, it tells ytou about starbucks and how these women got into doing a playboy photoshoot. I've seen a couple other playboy videos like this and un-like this. If your looking for pr0n don't look here, because playboy isn't really a pr0n magazine. It's more art and style, which is kinda wierd, because of the way it's portrayed in society. Although they do on their channel have more hardcore stuff.

This video is good, but more documentary than anything else.

Now that I'm in charge of ordering videos for a public library, I can say, it's not everything I thought it would be. It's work! So here I am getting a complaint from a patron that the video was too offensive to circulate in our video collection.
According to a patron there was a scene at the beginning of the movie in a strip bar.

OK, so here I am not only in charge of ordering videos, my boss now asks me to take the video home and to review it. OK this movie was not bad at all. I just dread in the future taking home sleepers (if you know what I mean)

The movie:
The initial scene sets the stage of the movie which is basically a husband that got depressed when his wife ran off after an argument. Basically we now have an upset husband who's friend asks him to go out and forget about the argument to a strip bar. It just happens his wife follows him there. Thus, we have a very simple story, jealous wife, and conversations that reside over this argument. If you're looking for action, adventure, mystery or anything else, you might want to look somewhere else. This might have turned me off at the inset of the movie when I found out where it was leading. So my main concern, for my life at the job, was to review the offensive content. A few minutes into the movie was about as far as it went. The strip club which included a lap dance with each husband was the content of the complaint. For those of you who do not know what a lap dance is, it is a dance where the clothes of the dancer usually comes off. For those of you who know the Lambada, it's one step more or should I say it's 1 piece of article less. I don't want to get too explicit here but there is nothing to get explicit about. That was the extent of it. Talking from a guy who has seen other movies with 10 times more vulgarity or more explicit sexual content, I'd have to say that it was nothing more than a quick view. I believe that patron played off the anger of the wife who was kind of unbelievable in my eyes. My personal opinion is that she was a little too concerned about a girl pressed against her husband. This is what though, make your own opinion on a scene that end there.

The rest of the movie and my attitude toward the two wives did get better as the movie persued. Not that I'd be on the womens side.... HECK NO :) But they weren't so unbelievable in their actions after a typical bad fight.

Let me conclude that I could believe that this movie is more geared towards a women's side of the argument than a guys side. So if you are looking for a lot of fun, intelligent humor, or driving force to keep the movie running, I'd say look away. If you have been in that situation a number of times and can get amused by such a scenario, take out the popcorn, pop in the video and keep on smiling at each little comment from both parties. I rated this with 3 stars down the middle of my scale because it is really geared for a certain audience and an average audience I believe should neither hate it or love it.

P.S. Spelling... not my forte... Grammar.. sorry nope... Information and smiles is all I'd hope to give you with this review....I'd hope :)

I really enjoyed this movie! it was amusing as well as thought provoking. I could recognize the characters played out in this film as folks I meet everyday!For those who are involved in long term relationships this film although quite comical can deliver some AHA! insights into male and female interaction and relationship priorities!!

This movie made me smile, or rather I should say I broke out in laughter many times! If you see the humor of the situations of "Sex in the City" or laugh at "Malcomb in the Middle" this movie is for you! The short scene in the strip club was probably the only scene to earn the R rating. Otherwise adult humor, some language.

Men Seeking Women is a comedy about three guys, not having much luck with women, engaging in a bet where the winner must obtain a girlfriend and live with her for three months. Whoever accomplishes this first wins the pot.

Grant Shaud plays Les, the instigator of the bet, while Will Ferrell and Anthony Palermo play Al and Nick, respectively. All three are close friends, and, on their 33rd birthday (all three were born on the same day) Les talks them into putting up 2 grand apiece for the bet, money none of them can really afford to lose.

On answering personal ads, all three men have various degrees of success. The funniest being Al (Will Farrell) getting cold feet when meeting his blind date in a restaurant, and trying to skip out on her through a bathroom window.

As the movie progresses, Les becomes entangled in a particularly sticky situation, Nick employs a bit of chicanery to try and win the bet, while Al goes through a series of very funny situations in his quest.

While this may seem like a romantic comedy of sorts, it's more of an episode of Men Behaving Badly. As we get to know the men, we develop an understanding as to why none of them are involved in a committed, meaningful relationships with women. They claim to want what most of us want, but their actions seem to say otherwise.

Will Ferrell steals the movie, providing quite a bit of comic relief, but with a hint of underlying desperation that fleshes out his character nicely. While there are sometimes darker undertones that appear within the movie, I wouldn't call this a black comedy. The superficialities that most people have seem to lie closer to the surface with these three men, especially Nick, and ultimately ruin their chances at succeeding with their relationships with women. There was a line in the movie, when Al and Les are talking about Nick where one of them says, "Nick's world is a great place to live...if you're Nick." I think this can be said of all of them, and really works to illustrate their overall problem.

Soon we see negative effects on their lives, to which the men attribute to the bet, but it appears that the bet only served to amplify negative aspects already present within the men themselves. None of the men appear to be very likable from the start, garnering little sympathy from the audience as their misfortunes pile up, but the ending suggests maybe something was learned as each is forced to deal with the consequences of their actions.

In my opinion this movie is not a romantic comedy, so if that's what you are looking for, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a fairly funny comedy with semi-serious undertones, then rent this movie before buying, see if it fits your tastes.

Three guys bet each other to see who can get a girlfriend and live with her for three months. Grant Shaud (of Murphy Brown fame) is the instigator of the bet.

Will Ferrell is a photographer who has some of the worst dates imaginable. Basically, Will steals every scene he's in -- but be prepared, it's totally different than anything else I've seen him do. It's a very understated but hilarious performance.

There's also a very funny scene when one of the guys relates a near-death sex experience.
This is obviously a very low budget movie and it's rough in spots, but it's still pretty funny. My girlfriend actually liked it better than I did.

People please tell me how can you have a womens in prison movie without a show all shower scene? The movie is great and is based on a true story of a women put in a Brazilian prison for the wrong reason. Gratuitous meaningless nudity especially the part they whip the leading actress with wet bath towels... Great movie but no shower scene?

This is a surprisingly good Women In Prison film apparently made in Brazil in 1984. The production values are higher than you might expect and the cinematography is surprisingly good, especially in the latter part of the movie. The festivities are helped out a lot by a lovely Brazilian beauty named Suzane Carvalho.

Suzane has a junkie brother who shoots and kills a drug pusher. She tells him to flee and she takes the rap for the murder, thinking that they'll give a woman a lesser sentence for the crime. She's thrown in the slammer with a bunch of hot-blooded Brazilian beauties that always seem to be naked. She's put in a cell with about 7 other women. One woman is the queen bee of the cell, and she's horny. So, the other women strip our innocent fish and then whip her with wet towels. Then our queen bee jumps on top of her to get a little forced intimacy.

Her injuries from the towel whipping are pretty bad, so she's sent to the infirmary. The lesbian "head matron" wants to know who did it to her, but she won't talk, so she and a guard take the fish to the showers and hose her down, trying to get her to talk. The force of the water rips her shirt open. But the fish doesn't talk and is sent back to the infirmary. Next, while still in the infirmary, three guys who were associates of the drug pusher who was killed sneak into the prison and attempt to hang her, putting a noose around her neck and hoisting her into midair. The lights are flipped on and the thugs scatter and our fish is saved from being hanged, but again, she has sustained quite a bit of injuries. Things aren't going well for this woman at all. The doctor in charge takes a special interest in the woman (who wouldn't?). He finds out that it was actually her brother who committed the murder and he tries to get the brother to confess so our fish, Angela, can be released before she's killed. But being a worthless junkie, he won't.

Meanwhile, after Angela has recuperated a bit, she is invited into the head matron's office. The head matron tells her that she can protect her if she would only show her some affection, and the matron puts the moves on her. At first Angela resists, but the next thing you know, they are in a surprisingly explicit lesbian love tryst, complete with full frontal nudity, French kissing, the works. Pretty hot stuff for these sorts of movies!

Meanwhile, Angela's brother commits suicide and leaves a note behind confessing to the murder of the drug pusher. The prison doctor and the local authorities immediately get a judge to sign papers to have Angela released from prison.

But before notification gets to the prison, it's exercise time in the prison yard and an inmate tries to stab Angela in the back, but the biggest meanest inmate, who happens to like Angela, prevents it. She then takes the knife and stabs the attacker. What happens next is something I haven't seen in a prison yard fight before. As the guards pile into the yard and tell the women to drop the knife, she beheads the attacker and flips her head toward a guard! Now there's an all out women's prison riot and Angela and a small group of women escape over a wall with guns they stole from guards that were wounded or killed in the riot. She doesn't know that she'd be released from prison if she just stuck around a bit.

Now we're full on into a jungle adventure. A huge group of guards and dogs are on their trails trying to catch up to them. The women can't get along too well, and have numerous catfights with each other. Some are attacked by killer snakes. Angela gets sick of all of the infighting and strikes out on her own. The guards catch up to the women, but the women fight them off.

Eventually, some local guys find the three women who have survived thus far, capture them, and tie them up. They are going to turn them over to the authorities for the reward money, but not before they try to rape the women. Fortunately for the women, Angela shows up with her gun and all of the would be rapists are killed by the women. One woman is killed in this mess, so there are three women left, including Angela, and they make their way out of the jungle and steal a truck. They're going to make it across the border. But there's a really big, mean guy sleeping in the back of the truck. He secretly lets the gas out of the gas tank, and when the trucks comes to a stop, he bashes in the front window of the truck with a big crowbar, but one of the women blows him away. To make a long story short, they make their way on foot to a church with children in it, and a huge number of guards surrounding the church. Again, the women are fighting, and one of them tries to kill Angela, but the doctor shows up and prevents it and kills the woman. Now there's two women left. The two women and the doctor make their way out a back entrance, but the guards open fire. The one woman gets to a car and then drives the car into the group of guards, hitting a truck, which causing a big explosion, which kills all of the guards. Our doctor and our lovely Angela are the only ones left standing and they are now free to go off and start a wonderful new life together.

In general, I like 70s exploitation action movies, and this is a good one. Never a dull moment. The dubbing is good. The women are generally good looking. There's gobs of nudity, including full frontal, lesbianism, including a surprisingly explicit scene with the lesbian head "matron", whippings, catfights on land, catfights in water, gun battles, a hosing down scene (provided by a tank that shoots water at the women during the big riot) a big riot, and of course, a beheading. Well, hell, what more do you want? Cirio H. Santiago, eat your heart out. I'll have to rate this movie a 4, because it's not only a good WIP movie, it's also a good action movie

This is quite possibly the best box set deal of the year! All of the films are great, if you like bad drive-in fare, which i love! The extras really make this worth while! About and hour and a half of trailers, 2 hours of shorts, drive-in intemission spots and comic and poster art with music from the great horror surf band, The Dead Elvi! ... Buy now or be forever sorry! p.s.- the movies offered are 25 dollars each , so yopu are getting 75 dollars worht of moives for like, 40 bucks off, plus the disc of trailers and full color booklets for each film! Awesome, totally awesome!

After reading this play in class, I was excited to see that this play was available on DVD. I thought that this was a pretty good adapation of the play. It is slightly different because instead of the action taking place on a stage, the camera moves to different locations and scenes. The best performances of the play were probably by Meryl Streep as Leila, and the actress (I can't remember her name) who played Carter. I would recommend this play and production for anyone interested in good contemporary theatre.

Without Lying Down tells the story of Frances Marion an important screenwriter who wrote the scenarios for some of the best silent films. In its fairly short running time of 56 minutes it includes many clips from the movies she wrote. It is while showing these clips that the documentary is at its best. These films show Marion's talent. They show her ability to write believable characters involved in meaningful relationships. It is therefore a pity that the documentary does not investigate this talent more deeply. It does not really explain what was involved in writing a screenplay for a silent picture and why Frances Marion was so good at this. It sketches her life quite well, but really falls down in its inclusion of various modern screenwriters who use Marion's story to score political points. The comments of these filmmakers do not seem to be well informed. They do not appear to have any particular knowledge of silent film, let alone silent film writing. Moreover, their commentary is predictable and clichéd. The documentary would have been much improved if it had left the analysis to experts like Kevin Brownlow and Leonard Maltin who make some insightful remarks during the course of the film.

Frances Marion for a time was Mary Pickford's favourite screenwriter, writing some of her best films. This DVD includes as a bonus one of the films they made together. I must confess that it is for this bonus that I bought the DVD and it makes up for whatever faults lie in the documentary. A Little Princess is a wonderful film. Pickford plays a little girl who is sent to a boarding school in London. She is rich, but her fortunes take a turn for the worse and her cruel headmistress makes her a scullery maid. She befriends fellow drudge Zazu Pitts (famous for her later performance in Greed). The interaction between Pitts and Pickford is superb and shows the talents of both actresses in depicting a very special friendship. My only criticism of this film is that it includes an Arabian knights interlude, with a veiled Pickford courting Ali Baba and fighting the forty thieves. It is good fun and shows Pickford's ability to play both adult and child roles in the same film, but takes up too great a proportion of the film's running time without really progressing the story. The black and white print of A Little Princess is good. It has some scratches, but the image is clear and sharp and detailed. Accompanying the film is a good piano score, by Jon Mirsalis. It follows the action well and has some suitably emotional themes.

After the resurgence of musicals (Moulin Rouge, Knight's Tale, Chicago), the French decided to do a musical as well, but apparently this is much too happy a concept for the French personality, and they butchered the job. The movie plays like a British stage mystery; 8 women snowed into a house with a dead man, murdered by one of them, telephone cut, who's next to be killed? On this level alone, the movie is trite, unimaginative, and poorly done. Then to make it worse, at some point each one of the 8 woman will have a singing/dancing number, unbelievably bad choreography coupled with a song of no musical value. The only way to get anything out of this movie is to turn off the sound and just watch Catherine Deneuve act and move (except for her badly done dance number).

8 WOMEN cheerfully mixes the murder mystery, comedy, and musical genres into one film, and features energetic performances from a talented cast. But it is silly, fluffy, and stagy beyond words. Set entirely in a country house during two days in winter, its story follows the familiar Agatha Christie-whodunnit formula and is strictly by the book. The musical numbers are primitively put together, with the amateurish quality of their singing and choreography matching the overall frivolity. The dialogs are at times risque (the movie has an R rating), with the women often reveling in exposing one another's infidelities and sexual inadequacies. Some slapstick is thrown in as well, but nothing memorable. Every aspect of this film is unimpressive except the actors, who work really hard to wring every bit of life out of this inferior farce. This is not the best whodunit you'll ever see. Not the best comedy nor musical you'll ever see. Not the best film you'll ever see by any of the actresses.

Seeing Catherine Deneuve in a musical reminds one of the great 1964 musical UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG. Seeing Fanny Ardant in a whodunit brings to mind her work in the sparkling 1983 mystery CONFIDENTIALLY YOURS, directed by the great François Truffaut. Emmanuelle Béart is best remembered for her dramatic turns in such films as UN COEUR EN HIVER and MANON OF THE SPRINGS. And director François Ozon worked with Ludivine Sagnier again in a much better film called SWIMMING POOL. See those films instead of this one.

Actually, apart from Catherine Deneuve who is famous worldwide, the other actresses of this French movie are not quite unfamiliar to the American audience either. I believe most moviegoers must have recognized Emmanuelle Beart (the sexy girl of "Mission Impossible"), Isabelle Huppert (the frustrating woman of "The Piano Teacher"), Virginie Ledoyen (Francoise of "The Beach"), Fanny Ardant (Mary de Guise of "Elizabeth"), and Ludivine Sagnier (the bombshell of the recently released "Swimming Pool"). As for Danielle Darrieux, strange as it may seem, she once starred as the mother of Catherine Deneuve (and of Catherine's real life sister Francoise Dorleac) in another French musical, "Les demoiselles de Rochefort" -- although that one was not as good as Catherine's debut "Les parapluies de Cherbourg".

While watching a movie with all the above mentioned actresses was quite a treat already, I particularly enjoyed them lipsync some beautiful French songs of the '60s: "Pape t'es plus dans le coup" (Daddy you're behind the times, performed by Ludivine Sagnier), "Message personnel" (Personal message, by Isabelle Huppert), "A quoi sert de vivre libre" (What's the use of living free, by Fanny Ardant), "Pour ne pas vivre seul" (To be not alone, by Firmine Richard), "Mon amour mon ami" (My lover my friend, by Virginie Ledoyen), "Pile ou face" (I toss a coin, by Emmanuelle Beart), "Toi jamais" (You never, by Catherine Deneuve), and as if the best was to saved for last, "Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux" (There is no happy love, from a poem by Louis Aragon and performed by Danielle Darrieux).

Mel Gibson plays an advertising executive who suddenly becomes able to read women's thoughts, which he uses to his advantage until he become a reformed character and starts wanting to help women instead of taking advantage of them. Too sweet for words. The women in the film are a bunch of hopless losers, all of whom need the help of a man (Gibson, of course) to help them out. Helen Hunt plays Gibson's boss, and she's so sweet and helpless you wonder how she ever got to be a tea-lady,let alone a top executive in a ruthless business like advertising. Gibson stitches her up by stealing her ideas, and naturally she can't do a thing to help herself, poor little thing, until he takes pity on her. His daughter spends most of the film slavering with lust over her boyfriend, then suddenly she inexpicably goes off the idea of having ... with him (why?), but she can't get out of it herself, oh no, Daddy has to come and rescue her. And the girl in the office who's going to commit suicide because she can't get promoted (yes, honestly) guess who comes to her rescue. ...

What type of movies do you like?

Movie title: want women want
Rating: P.G.13

Date: 2000
Staring: Mel Gipson and Helen Hunt
Co-Staring: Marisa Tomie
Price:$...

What type of movie do you like? Do like horror, classical, action- pact or maybe even a romance movie. If your like me you like me you like comedies. If that's true than here's a movie for you it's called 'What Women Want'

Mel Gipson plays a man named Nick Marshall
Helen Hunt play a girl
Named Darcy McGuire

Nick was struck by a freak accident that causes
Him to here every girls wants and needs.
(even dogs)

Anyways if you buy or rent the movie you wont be disappointed. It starts funny and ends even funnier.

If you have it on D.V.D. that's better because you can watch special features first. That's if you want to spoil the fun. On the D.V.D you can also pick a different language.

I give it two thumbs up for its comedy and graphics. I would highly recommend adults, teenagers, and mature people watch this because of some language and sexual behavior. Rated P.G. thirteen

I enjoyed this one. The acting was good, and the music was astounding. This is a classy film... and one I have now seen several times. (It doesn't seem to get old as quickly as some others.) Gibson plays a "man's man" bent on sleeping with many, many women. He changes into a much more sensitive figure as the movie progresses. It is astounding that all of the women in his life think in complete, coherent, and honest thoughts. That one problem aside, this movie kept me very entertained.

Gibson did a terrific job, as did Helen Hunt (about whom I am not very fond, usually). Rent this one if you haven't seen it yet!
