DVD Reviews of Intimate Power
DVD Review: Delightful, even through the script
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a movie about love and power and the politics in a world different from today's. It is based on a true story of a French school girl that became a powerful woman in Turkey. She goes from unwilling slave, to lover, to mother. There is heart break, hope and death. It's a movie to watch only if you aren't a stickler for accuracy. I'll admit the acting is somewhat terrible, and the script wasn't the best, but this isn't a movie about sex and acting. This movie was made in the late 80's and people need to remember that when watching it. If you were looking for a movie with sex, this is NOT it. DVD Review: Intimate Power
Summary: 2 Stars
This could have been a great film if they had cast people who could act.
Even F. Murray Abraham over did it.
DVD Review: Catholic School to Harem
Summary: 5 Stars
This is based on a true story. Aimee was from Matineque; her uncle was sending her to a catholic school in France. She is caught kissing a young soldier in the study at a ball, and is put on a boat back to Martineque. Pirates take over the ship and she is sold into slavery. Being a virgin, she was worth her weight in gold. She is bought by the Ottoman Harem. She is chosen to be the sultan's wife, but she isn't willing to sleep with an old man that she isn't in love with. She does give in and she falls in love with Abdul. Sineperver (his 1st wife) is very jealous. Aimee has a son and Sineperver has him strangled while they are sleeping. Abdul has another son (which he brings to her bedside) who's mother died at birth. Aimee was asked to be his mother, and from that moment on she was. Abdul dies and Selim takes over as sultan. The Genecaries hate him and kill him. Thus making Mustafa (Sineperver's son) the new sultan. Aimee kills Mustafa with a daggar that Sineperver had given to her years before, to kill herself with. Now her son was sultan. This true story has excitement, love, passion, and the true meaning of being a family.DVD Review: not quite deliciously bad
Summary: 2 Stars
howlers aplenty, eunuchs and dwarves, lots of bad headgear, Maud Adams' cheekbones and overbite, F. Murray in all his F. Murray-ness and Amber O'Shea in all her OC-ness. And all that from the imagination of Prince Michael of Greece! Where is Maria Montez when we really need her?DVD Review: Horrible movie!
Summary: 1 Stars
First of all, let me say how happy I was not to pay for this movie. It is horrible! The script laughable. People did not say "hi" in mid 18th century Turkey. I could write a better script. This movie was so bad, I fast-forwarded it to the end, couldn't stand to watch the whole thing. The costumes were silly and looked like something you could by at K-Mart. Which is a shame, because this could have been a great movie. Aimee's story deserves so much better than this. Also, why was this rated "R?" No erotcism, no nudity, no chemistry between the actors. Do yourself a favor and skip this in favor of "Kama Sutra; A Tale of Love."
