4-0 out of 5 stars Good Movie
First of all,I think the other reviews are wrong, because this movie isnt just about "Kirsten Dunst", its deals with her whole family in the movie. It's a great movie about a girl who is 15 and she gets pregnant by a boy who leaves her and she ends up going to a school for young pregnant girls, and then she has it all on her own without her boyfriend. It's a great movie but its only for Mothers and girl teens, because they can learn from the movie if a mothers young daughter ever gets pregnant early. yes, Kirsten does give a great performance but its not just about her,the mother in the movie goes through a lot too. Great movie for a mother daughter to sit down and watch together!!

4-0 out of 5 stars SAD
Many girls around the country each year find themselves in these horrid positions. Kirsten Dunst did a superb job as Tina in this shockingly realistic film. I felt sorry for her as she had to put her young life on hold-- but then I didn't because she was like any fifteen-year-old girl: naive, vulnerable and harmfully impressionable. Any girl should watch this movie before giving herself away to any carnal, uncaring, hormonally imbalanced boy.

4-0 out of 5 stars It Doesn't Stop Here!
Actually, I enjoyed the movie, and I loved Kirsten Dunst in it. I didn't think it was a low-budget film at all. I thought it was well-done and simple enough for anyone to follow. The message to teenage mothers is quite clear, and I think that should be the main focus of the film. It just seem all too common when young females get pregnant they expect their boyfriends (or potential husbands) to stick by them, and the girls believe everything the guy tells them. Being a single mother of 2, I already know the game. It is always mama's baby, daddy's mabye.

I just wish that society would put less emphasis on concealing the truth about sex, which is advertised everywhere, and put more emphasis on telling the truth about it along with other things. Sex education in the school system would be a great start, but parents shouldn't leave everything up to the teachers either. I find a lot of parents are against sex education because they feel that it would encourage their children to "do it." We can't always watch over our kids and/or make decisions for them. Parents can only guide their children. How can we get our children to make the right decision if we don't educate them about the things that they will encounter such as sex, drugs, and other harsh realities in the world. I don't think sex education would encourage children to engage in sexual behavior. I think that it would, if it ever came down to it, encourage our children to make wise decisions about sex. For example, condomn and birth control use. Or, even better, abstinance (sp?). I think that misinforming or not informing our children about sex leads to risky sexual behavoir.

Even though I didn't start having children until I was 20, I feel what the teenage mothers go through. It is hard enough being a single parent, but I think single teenage parents have it the hardest. Some of them can't obtain financial means because they are too young to work. The teenage mothers who are of legal age that can find employment often work at low-paying jobs with very little opportunities for advancement. It is not just teenage mothers who have a hard time. It is also single mothers from across all socioeconomical and ethical backgrounds. In today's world, it is so hard to find a decent job without the education and/or experience. I am glad that I am one of the lucky ones because I have my mother to help me. I am a senior in college now, and I am about to graduate. I can't say it is a common story. Sure, there are probably plenty of single mothers who went to college and graduated, but I run into so many single mothers that don't, and they want to complete their degree. I don't want to end up as a statistic, and I want to prove to others that it can be done. I also don't want my kids to follow in my footsteps, so I am going to educate them about sex and it's consequenses. I want to let them know that they do have a choice in the world, and I hope other parents do the same. We must educate our children.

5-0 out of 5 stars A fan
I know its like an educational film to say no to sex for teenagers, but I really thought this movie was well done! Realistic and sad. Glad I watched it in health class. I didn't want to ever end up like Tina. She was just too young to go have a baby.

5-0 out of 5 stars Teen mothers to be
When I first saw this movie I was touched. I was also fifteen and pregnant. It helped me to understand how my life would be turned upside down and still turn out alright. I got to look at all points of view. How tina felt and how her mother had to struggle to try to keep her family togteher. I would recomend this movie to any body. Fahter or mother. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A sexy, strange, dark movie
If I had a list of erotic movies for women, this one would be on it. Nicolas Cage is at his usual weirded-out best in this one. A very strange, sexy, and unsettling movie. The New Orleans locales add to the dark mood. Some very erotic scenes in this as well. Not a very well-known movie, but one that would appeal to women, I think, more than men. The body-painting scene is one that sticks in my mind as one you will remember!

1-0 out of 5 stars TACKY SEX DRAMA...
Nicolas Cage was either broke (or whatever) when he made this New Orleans filmed trash. There's no other excuse. He plays a "tortured artist" flinging with the wife of a friend (Judge Reinhold). She is Zandalee (Erika Anderson). Zandalee---what a name. Zandalee loves to----and she likes it as often as possible. You see, she's a "free spirit" and her hubby's a bore. No stretch for Reinhold. But no matter who's naked or how often this is an awful movie. Not even worth the one star. It's so bad I watched it going "oh BROTHER". There is no acting in this movie. Just really bad dialogue spoken by the ones being paid to do so. Marisa Tomeii is somewhere in this mess too. But who cares. It's all pointless. Directed by someone named Sam Pillsbury.

4-0 out of 5 stars Erika Andersen makes this movie
She IS Zandalee, the sexy and sex-starved creature who propels this tragic story of lust and betrayal. Wow, this actress captivated me when I saw this in theatres eleven years ago. Beauty and talent and loads of sex appeal. Friends and I would debate whether she or Carre Otis (Wild Orchid) were the hottest babes on screen at the time.
Judge Reinhold is her mopey and inevitably cuckolded husband, Thierry. Zandalee yearns for a full and satisfying sex life with Thierry but he is too wrapped up in his own repression to appreciate the glorious gift that is (literally) dancing naked right in front of him.
On the scene comes Johnny (Nicolas Cage), a sleazy old friend of Thierry's who takes full advantage of Zandalee's sexual frustration. She is at first standoffish and untrusting, but caves in to her compelling need and allows Johnny to seduce her and ravish her in the most inappropriate places (like on the freezer in the pantry while Thierry and another dinner guest are chatting in the dining room). The sex with paint scenes are also good, an idea later copied (and abused) by the movie Luscious. I was torn between loathing the treacherous Johnny and eagerly anticipating his next liaison with the beautiful Zandalee.
The French Quarter location and Bayou scenes give great flavor to this movie. Also the assortment of character players whom I can now look back at and say, "Oh, that was him or her!"
Someone else mentioned the great Cajun-sounding score by Pray for Rain, which truly did enhance the exotic mood in the movie. A pity it was never released as a soundtrack.

3-0 out of 5 stars "Not the best . . .but . . .
For those of us who cherish the steamy city of New Orleans, Zandalee captures the steaminess while transcending its shortcomings.

Rehinhold could have made more of an effort to exhibit a more tragic figure - and could have made an attempt at maintaining
ANY accent. Cage is satan personified. More than a bit melodramatic in many scenes, good cameo appearances by Marissa Tomei, Joe Pantoliano (pricesless cross-dresser!) and Steve Buscemi (playing Steve Buscemi) add to the memorable scenes and memorable/quotable dialogue: ("I'm your reality check" "Its a heartifact" "A little decorum!".

Its worth the 3 bucks to rent of the $ to buy it. Nice steamy, sexy movie. Not the greatest . . . but . . .

3-0 out of 5 stars Not the best ever . . . but
The score by "Pray for Rain" (not available ANYWHERE) is great.
For those of us who love New Orleans, this film captures the steaminess of that city and the romance of Zan and Cage. Steamy in all senses, this film somehow overcomes all its shortcomings with its quirky dialogue, and endearing appearances by Marisa Tomei, Steve Busciemi and Joe Pantoliano. Rheinhold could have managed to exhibit more "tragedy" in his situation - and his accent changed in evry other scene, but Cage's is that of satan himself. Worth the 3 bucks to rent or the $ +/- to purchase. Also full of memorable, repeatable wonderful one-line quotes! ("I'm your reality check" "Say my name" "Please! some decorum!") ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Not as Good has the first 2,but still a great movie
I found this Free Willy the worst out of the series, not because the movie was bad,it was good but there was some parts in this movie that peaple didnt like.The little kid kinda messed up the bond between Willy and Jesse.But this was still a great movie,what an ending this movie had,Willy becomes a daddy, shocking ending to a great series.

4-0 out of 5 stars Bad Ending to a Great Series
Ok, this was a great movie, as all the Free Willy movies were, it is just unfortunate that they didn't know this would be the last. If they knew, I'm sure it would have been so much better. I loved the Free Willy series, and when I learned they lost their budget and there would be no more, I look at the ending of Free Willy 3 and think, "This great series is over for eternity, and the last lines were, "Well I think we should call him Max" ?". Truly unfortunate. Anyways, this flick is aimed at an older audience. There are unsuitable features in this one, unsuitable for young ones, but makes the older ones happy.

2-0 out of 5 stars They Replaced Jessie
I liked this movie but they replaced Jessie. They had This 10 year old kind of come in and try to be the hero. I mean what was so special about the first too movies is that Jessie was the only one Willy trusted and then they had this ten year old come in and all of the sudden he and Willy were special friends. They should have left it alone with that special friendship between Willy and Jessie.

4-0 out of 5 stars 4 stars
Good movie, but not in widescreen format as advertised.

1-0 out of 5 stars ZERO STARZ!
This movie blew it. We thought the could make up in the next film, but nnnnnnooooooo! I don't want to tell you the plot because it hurts me. This film is not for kids. Killing whales, bar fights, and pranks is why 9/11 happened! ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Satisfactory southern potboiler
I discovered this movie on the TV while channel surfing and was pleasantly surprised. I am a Kelly McGillis fan (ever since Witness) and I thought I'd give it a try. Billy Zane is also a good and yet underappreciated actor. He plays one of a trio of escapees from a prison farm in 1950s Louisiana. They seek refuge in the remote home of a middle-aged woman who has been living like a hermit since her father died.
The character Kelly plays is frumpy and eccentric. She has the opportunity to escape from the clutches of these bumbling escaped cons, but she is determined to stay at her house and work in her garden. Zane is the compassionate one of the three, and he prevents the bully in the bunch from molesting Kelly. In quite a funny scene, Kelly inflicts further injury on the whiney one of the bunch.
The cons lie low while the police search the vicinity, having to deal with a traveling preacher, Kelly's nosey sister who pops in from time to time, and the blind man who delivers her groceries. You know some characters are going to come to an untimely demise. Meanwhile, affections develop between Zane and McGillis. She started to look hot even in her frumpiness.

5-0 out of 5 stars Jail Break
This was a surprisingly interesting film set in the 60's about 3 escapees, one of whom is dangerous (Rollins), one of whom is lovable (Zane) and the other who is annoying (guy from "Roseanne").

It's one of those gems that was overlooked by critics, but can easily be enjoyed by romance and drama fans.

Loved it!

2-0 out of 5 stars I spent how much on this? Damn.
If you want to admire Henry Rollins' bare behind, watch this movie. Everything else is a waste of time. "Morgan's Ferry" is painfully slow and dry, leaving its otherwise talented cast deficient of an engaging plot, believable character relationships or interesting dialogue. The dragging story makes the viewer wish for an explosion, or anything, to make it stop, instead of lumping along into the uneventful end.
Also, it is pointless to watch the DVD version, there are virtually no special features; there aren't even chapters, just one long run.

5-0 out of 5 stars A touching story
"Morgan's Ferry" - a touching story well told and well filmed. I enjoyed the film thoroughly and am going to buy the DVD. If you liked Fried Green Tomatoes and films about the American South, you will love "Morgan's Ferry". Kelly McGillis and Billy Zane have given good performances. When I've purchased the DVD, it's going to be in my collection of my all-time favorite movies.

Description

A True Story of Teen Parenthood. Tina Spangler is 15 years old and pregnant. Her future looks bleak and her options are few. Abandoned by her boyfriend, she has only one person to turn to: her loving mother, Evie, a woman who knows the harsh realities of being a single mother – she’s one herself. Just as Tina’s pregnancy has torn her world apart, it could both reunite a shattered family and help Tina to find her true purpose in life: to have someone to care for – and someone to love. Based on a true story, this emotional drama stars Park Overall (Biloxi Blues, Overkill: The Aileen Wuornos Story), Kirsten Dunst (Interview with The Vampire, Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Virgin Suicides) and David Andrews (Apollo 13, Wyatt Earp). DVD extras include: About the Film, About the Stars, Interactive Menus, Scene Selections, Trailers ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Scarily true
My mum loves these true story DVDs, which you can buy dirt cheap in many places, but I only watched it because it starred Kirsten Dunst, plus it was something I could review on here. The film jumps pretty quickly from the morning sickness in the early months, to the full-blown big bump with days/weeks to go. It's also a very short TV movie, 87 minutes, but feels a lot longer.

Kirsten Dunst plays the spoilt brat who sleeps with her boyfriend (who you can tell right away that he's just after getting into her pants), and proceeds to tell him that she doesn't want him to tell her he loves her if he doesn't. I'm sorry, but many guys will say that just to get you into bed - I'm not talking from experience here though. I thought Kirsten played the role very well, although the labour scenes were a bit OTT, but aren't they always in these type of films? She makes the adult (although she's only 15, and very immature I found) decision of not giving the baby up for adoption or abortion.

There are also some outright lies in this TV movie, but I think it's more to scare the viewing audience than anything else. Some of the characters discuss how many women die in childbirth and mention that it's 20%. And nowhere in the show are they ever corrected (it's more like 0.8%).

To make this film better, it should have been extended, and showed how Tina got on after giving birth, rather than seeing her leaving hospital all smiley. She plays a character that would shout, scream & walk out on her baby to be with her friends more than be affectionate towards it. However, it is a good movie, and thankfully, I've passed that stage, to have unprotected sex, with a guy looking like that!

The heartland of the American Midwest traditionally has been held up as everything from wholesome to stiflingly dull. This makes it a natural backdrop for this terrific, tongue-in-cheek juvenile fantasy, a place that looks like a squeaky-clean 1950s sitcom suburb but hides more secrets than Blue Velvet: Elvis lives down the street and Bigfoot roots through the neighborhood trash bins. Omri Katz (Matinee) and Justin Shenkarow (TV's Picket Fences) are a pair of adolescent Hardy Boys stuck in "America's capital of weird," a mix of The X-Files and Kolchak: The Night Stalker spun into a comic Twilight Zone. Creative consultant Joe Dante directed two of the episodes in this collection: "Forever Ware," about a demonic plastic container that keeps everything fresh and young forever--even people--and "The Retainer," where tinsel-teethed teens overhear the dreaded conspiracies cooked up by the neighborhood dogs. The third episode, "The ATM with a Heart of Gold," explores just how friendly the friendly neighborhood electronic teller can be. Clever, spirited, and directed with a tongue-in-cheek playfulness, this 1991-92 series looks more contemporary than ever in the wake of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Maybe it was just ahead of its time. --Sean Axmaker ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Absolutely horrible
I like a wide variety of Westerns from the classic Rio Bravo of Howard Hawks to Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man, but Into the Badlands is so bad that I threw it away after watching it once. Slick packaging and quality stars entice you to buy the movie. However, multiple story lines have little to do with each other and even fine stars like Bruce Dern, Helen Hunt and Mariel Hemingway can't save this turkey. Dern's character Barston should have saved his bullets to use on the director and screenwriters. The only saving grace was that I was able to use the dustcover for another DVD I have.

4-0 out of 5 stars A Different, but Enjoyable Western
Provocative to say the least. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and bought the DVD to always have it on hand. In this made for TV film, representing a compilation of three short stories, Bruce Dern was exceptional in his role as a bounty hunter. It depicts aspects of bounty hunting ranging from the thrill, to the harsh reality to even the comedic. Although many people did not like the style in which the film was cut, I found its unexpected twists and turns along with its overall mystique very entertaining. The music is very compelling and ties the film together nicely. If you like "high pride" Westerns, this is a must see.

4-0 out of 5 stars I've seen a lot of weird movies...
and this one ranks right up there. The back of the tape describes it as a "surreal western" and that's about right. It includes many characters that die but not really, some unique hallucinations, and narrations that are either creepy or funny depending on your interpretation. My dad bought this one off of a discount rack for $6, thinking it was a normal western. It's really a horror movie, and a weird one at that. My favorite movies are the strange sick ones, so I liked it very much. If you have similar taste, you'll definitely like this one. To classify it as a Western is really ridiculous. It's a few short creepy stories tied in together by one common character, and the fact that it takes place in the old West seems almost incidental. "Normal" people probably wouldn't like this one, and when my parents saw it, they said they couldn't believe that Helen Hunt, Dylan McDermott, and Mariel Hemingway would ever be in it. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars A sexy, strange, dark movie
If I had a list of erotic movies for women, this one would be on it. Nicolas Cage is at his usual weirded-out best in this one. A very strange, sexy, and unsettling movie. The New Orleans locales add to the dark mood. Some very erotic scenes in this as well. Not a very well-known movie, but one that would appeal to women, I think, more than men. The body-painting scene is one that sticks in my mind as one you will remember!

1-0 out of 5 stars TACKY SEX DRAMA...
Nicolas Cage was either broke (or whatever) when he made this New Orleans filmed trash. There's no other excuse. He plays a "tortured artist" flinging with the wife of a friend (Judge Reinhold). She is Zandalee (Erika Anderson). Zandalee---what a name. Zandalee loves to----and she likes it as often as possible. You see, she's a "free spirit" and her hubby's a bore. No stretch for Reinhold. But no matter who's naked or how often this is an awful movie. Not even worth the one star. It's so bad I watched it going "oh BROTHER". There is no acting in this movie. Just really bad dialogue spoken by the ones being paid to do so. Marisa Tomeii is somewhere in this mess too. But who cares. It's all pointless. Directed by someone named Sam Pillsbury.

4-0 out of 5 stars Erika Andersen makes this movie
She IS Zandalee, the sexy and sex-starved creature who propels this tragic story of lust and betrayal. Wow, this actress captivated me when I saw this in theatres eleven years ago. Beauty and talent and loads of sex appeal. Friends and I would debate whether she or Carre Otis (Wild Orchid) were the hottest babes on screen at the time.
Judge Reinhold is her mopey and inevitably cuckolded husband, Thierry. Zandalee yearns for a full and satisfying sex life with Thierry but he is too wrapped up in his own repression to appreciate the glorious gift that is (literally) dancing naked right in front of him.
On the scene comes Johnny (Nicolas Cage), a sleazy old friend of Thierry's who takes full advantage of Zandalee's sexual frustration. She is at first standoffish and untrusting, but caves in to her compelling need and allows Johnny to seduce her and ravish her in the most inappropriate places (like on the freezer in the pantry while Thierry and another dinner guest are chatting in the dining room). The sex with paint scenes are also good, an idea later copied (and abused) by the movie Luscious. I was torn between loathing the treacherous Johnny and eagerly anticipating his next liaison with the beautiful Zandalee.
The French Quarter location and Bayou scenes give great flavor to this movie. Also the assortment of character players whom I can now look back at and say, "Oh, that was him or her!"
Someone else mentioned the great Cajun-sounding score by Pray for Rain, which truly did enhance the exotic mood in the movie. A pity it was never released as a soundtrack.

3-0 out of 5 stars "Not the best . . .but . . .
For those of us who cherish the steamy city of New Orleans, Zandalee captures the steaminess while transcending its shortcomings.

Rehinhold could have made more of an effort to exhibit a more tragic figure - and could have made an attempt at maintaining
ANY accent. Cage is satan personified. More than a bit melodramatic in many scenes, good cameo appearances by Marissa Tomei, Joe Pantoliano (pricesless cross-dresser!) and Steve Buscemi (playing Steve Buscemi) add to the memorable scenes and memorable/quotable dialogue: ("I'm your reality check" "Its a heartifact" "A little decorum!".

Its worth the 3 bucks to rent of the $ to buy it. Nice steamy, sexy movie. Not the greatest . . . but . . .

3-0 out of 5 stars Not the best ever . . . but
The score by "Pray for Rain" (not available ANYWHERE) is great.
For those of us who love New Orleans, this film captures the steaminess of that city and the romance of Zan and Cage. Steamy in all senses, this film somehow overcomes all its shortcomings with its quirky dialogue, and endearing appearances by Marisa Tomei, Steve Busciemi and Joe Pantoliano. Rheinhold could have managed to exhibit more "tragedy" in his situation - and his accent changed in evry other scene, but Cage's is that of satan himself. Worth the 3 bucks to rent or the $ +/- to purchase. Also full of memorable, repeatable wonderful one-line quotes! ("I'm your reality check" "Say my name" "Please! some decorum!") ... Read more
