Does Michael Douglas deserve the unwanted attention he and his family are receiving at the hands of loony stalker Glenn Close? After a weekend extramarital affair with colleague Close, he returns home to wife Anne Archer, and Close becomes progressively angrier. You might even say she is boiling bunny mad. Directed by Adrian Lyne, this is not your average thriller, as it garnered six Academy Award nominations. The plot is too obvious, but the dialogue rings true and the intense performances hold the story together. Anne Archer deserves kudos for side-stepping cliché as the strong but frightened wife, and Close is a scream as she chews up the scenery. The film's original ending, which was reshot after poor preview screenings, has been added to the video release. --Rochelle O'Gorman Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Pure '80s gold that simply won't be ignored.It is totally campy by today's standards, but it caused quite a sensation back in 1987. Glenn Close plays Alex Forrest, a mentally unstable career woman who has a one night stand with Dan Gallagher, a successful husband and father. After two nights of extremely bizarre love making (kitchen sink, anyone?), Dan decides that it is time to call it off for good. Big mistake. Alex Forrester teaches him a lesson he'll never forget...this film is responsible for the term "bunny boiler", by the way. Soon, ...

Without even going into details I will already say this is a must-see movie, basically for anyone who likes good movies in general. If you are into thrillers then the experience will be all the better. It is certainly entertaining to a point, but I must admit from a guy's point of view, every time I watch this it confirms that ... Read More Rating:  - Close MindedThis is another one of Michael Douglas' thriller chillers. They are all pretty much the same by now, but when this was released it created quite a buzz. One night of cheating with Glenn Close was more than he bargained for. Wifey was away, but comes back and poor Mike thinks that life will go on as usual. Not if Glenn has her say. And, she more than does in this flick. She is like a spider, weaving a web to catch poor Mike. She tries every trick in the book, calling on the phone, attempting suicide, ... Read More Rating: - One Night Stand = Forever... Wow! I sure remember this one! I saw it at the theatre in '87 and knew it would be a sensation. Why? Because it strikes right at the heart of human frailty, error, and regret. How many people sat and judged Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas) for his sin / stupidity, while being guilty of similar things themselves? I sure did! I smugly told my friends that "If I had Ann Archer at home, I'd never leave the house!" Well, I was young, dumb, and unmarried. And what about Alex Forest (Glenn Close)? Is she just the ... Read More Rating: - Another classic film denied a Best Picture OscarAnd why???? I would like to begin with what won that year, and that was "The Last Emperor". While the Emperor isn't a bad film this was 10 times better. It's almost perfect, but I do notice that there were some loose threads in this film such as: Why was Alex Forrest's father's death such a traumatic event for her? and then what about Alex's mother? She's not mentioned at all which leads me to wonder about Alex's behavior throughout the whole story. There seems to be 3 faces of Alex which has her as a seductress, ... Read More |
