mvie mu-1109215: When Even Sex Won't Sell. . .

Sun, 30 May 2004 16:48:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wlswarts - I'm not quite sure why I sat down and watched "Original Sin," the box was labeled as a thriller that would keep me guessing. They never do. Moreover, it was listed as an "erotic thriller" and they almost never are. I mean, really; either it's a...

mvie mu-1109215: Original Sin: sex, lies and coffee

Fri, 19 Dec 2003 11:04:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author telynor - Sometimes, I'll go and indulge in a costume drama just for the fun of it. And this time, it looked like Original Sin was going to deliver -- we've got two handsome, healthy bodies, period costumes, the exotic setting of Cuba in the late nineteenth...

mvie mu-1109215: ORIGINAL SIN: The original sin was that this film was made

Thu, 4 Dec 2003 06:57:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cripper - Every once in a while, I walk into a video store and happen to see a film that I have not heard much about but yet seems to intrigue me. Sometimes the films I actually borrow are good, but other times they are absolutely shocking! Unfortunately, the...

mvie mu-1109215: Why do they call it "Original" Sin?

Fri, 20 Dec 2002 22:26:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author isinga - I may be unduly dense, but I have been under the impression that any originality involved in nudity and ilicit sex was exhausted way back in pre-Biblical times! Since then, I've known that women had breasts from the time I was old enough to walk, and...

mvie mu-1109215: You Cannot Walk Away From Love

Tue, 18 Jun 2002 02:59:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Alena - I get the feeling that the unrated version of the DVD was a lot better than the version that was seen at the theatre. This film was ultra sensual, with a good story line based on the novel Waltz into Darkness by Cornell Woolrich, and the acting was...

mvie mu-1109215: Angelina and Antonio are Hot; Rest of Movie is Not.

Mon, 27 May 2002 19:44:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author DavidMac - Original Sin is a film from about last year, starring Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas, that comes billed as a steamy romantic thriller, although it didn’t exactly steam up the box office, despite the two stars. The movie isn’t all that great,...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author shadow8 - Based on the novel "Waltz Into Darkness" by Cornell Woolrich, Michael Cristofer’s Original Sin is a tale of love, lust, greed, betrayal, and deception. (Jerry Springer, eat your heart out!) In the beginning, we see the narrator, Julia...

Sat, 6 Apr 2002 17:10:41 GMT
rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author stephenkay65 - The sexual power of women, male desire, and outright obsession are explored in this engrossing tale of suspicion, trickery and blind lust. If you like “Original Sin” you may also like some of Antonio Banderas other films “Zorro”, and “Desperado” or...

mvie mu-1109215: Not quite the disaster it's been made out to be.

Mon, 1 Apr 2002 16:25:29 GMT
rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author alan-smithee - (BTW, my comments are based on the more explicit unrated version)

Usually when a movie sits on the shelf for an extended period of time, it means that the movie is awful. With that said, it should be noted that Original Sin was actually filmed...

Mon, 8 Oct 2001 18:33:30 GMT
rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author arstevens - I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the sets and costumes and even the music at the beginning of this period piece--the gorgeous pale pink satin wedding gown, the extavagance of the cathedral,and the two beautiful people. And I am always happy to...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jwaala -

The very first time I doubted my sexual orientation was on seeing Angelina Jolie in ‘Girl, Interrupted’. WOW! was my reaction to that wicked grin of hers…..further, who could ever forget Jennanne’s review of Original Sin? And the fact that...

mvie mu-1109215: Not so original, but Angelina's on top...

Fri, 17 Aug 2001 20:38:40 GMT
rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author simplyk8 - Angelina Jolie, up and coming screen siren, plays an enchanting and exotic bad-girl sociopath with a plan. Reprising the same type of role which brought her acclaim in movies like "Girl, Interrupted", Jolie turns up the heat and adds a deeply sexual...

mvie mu-1109215: Original Sin: oddly satisfying though bad [a review-let]

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 17:51:13 GMT
rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author benho - I have a penchant for verbosity. My typical reviews have a habit of running into the thousands of words, which is fine sometimes, but often, I feel perhaps I am not worth listening to for that long. Thus, here I will try something new. I will be...

mvie mu-1109215: If you want porn, then rent porn.

Sun, 12 Aug 2001 21:38:07 GMT
rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author stankow - I divide all films into four categories. Must See, Could Rent, Don't Bother and Wife Flick. I have to make the distinction of Wife Flick because we live in different states, so I generally get to see two, maybe three movies per month with her (one per...

mvie mu-1109215: Sinners and Saints

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 23:21:56 GMT
rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author whaler66 - Let's face it, "Original Sin" isn't going to

win an Oscar.

In all honesty, its dialogue sounds like junior high melodrama. Still, it has an ace up its sleeve.

That ace is named Angelina Jolie. There is something...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Chinya - Original Sin is about a wealthy plantation owner in Cuba who orders a mail order bride. The bride he gets is a con artist who works with a partner to con men out of money. Angelina Jolie is exotic and sensual, and the chemistry with Antonio Banderas is...

mvie mu-1109215: Banderas has the spotlight!

Wed, 8 Aug 2001 14:35:40 GMT
rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author penguinmap - I really could have done without the close-up of A. Jolie's lips in the opening scenes. But as soon as Antonio Banderas hit the screne, he made up for anything else that might detract from the film. All right, I could live my life with a Banderas in my...

Tue, 7 Aug 2001 23:25:21 GMT
rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Diversity646 - I knew this film would be on my review list all the way back a year ago when the first preview came out on the big screen hyping this for a winter release. Then the previews bumped the opening back to Spring.

Well, here it is, summertime, and...

mvie mu-1109215: Neither Very "Original" Nor Very "Sin"ful

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 20:28:26 GMT
rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author thornhill - “Original Sin”, the new film starring Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie, is a real throwback to the films of the 30s and 40s. Usually, I would applaud the effort, but “Original Sin” has too many problems to make the effort worthwhile.

mvie mu-1109215: Angelina Jolie, NAKED!!

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 18:15:57 GMT
rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mattjoe - I went to Original Sin for one shallow reason, I wished to see boobs on the big screen, and not just any boobs, but the breasts of Tomb Raider's own Angelina Jolie.

Call my original sin oogling or something, but not coveting my neighbors...

mvie mu-1109215: C'mon Angelina and Antonio!!!

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 00:01:14 GMT
rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gladbaby - I may have a biased opinion due to the fact that Angelina Jolie is my favorite actress of all time, but I would have to say this movie could have been much better. The characters are Julia Russell (Angelina Jolie), and Luis Vargas (Antonio). Luis is in...
