Original Sin

Pros: Steamy, hot scenes with Jolie & Banderas. Very visual film.
Cons: Plot is weak.

~=~= Passion, anyone? ~=~=

Need some more heat this summer? Feel like taking things up a few degrees? What could be more promising than seeing Angelina Jolie and Antonia Banderas get together? When meeting for the first time,...

Pros: Angelina Jolie gets naked. Convincing story, held my interest
Cons: If it were another hour longer, directors could have tied up loose ends

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...

Pros: At least Banderas and Jolie look good bouncing about in bed together.
Cons: Plenty -- let's try editing, directing, leads, and story and general trashiness of this.

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 ...

Pros: I guess the sex scenes were erotic
Cons: Everything else

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 ...

Pros: Good performances; nice scenery; Angelina Jolie nekkidddddd...
Cons: Not much eroticism and not a lotta thrills... No full frontal nude shots of Angie.

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...

Pros: Angelina Jolie, a few good scenes, steamy sex.
Cons: No real juice in the storyline, silly ending

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,...

Pros: JOLIE IS NAKED. The movie is pretty good too.
Cons: Too racy for some.

Original Sin is bound to be the underrated bomb of the summer. The film has nothing about it that will make it a blockbuster or a classic. It is however the very definition of a 'guilty pleasure.' It's so racy, dirty, and jaunty, not to...

Pros: Spectacular sets, genuinely artful sex scenes, visually pleasing actors, visually pleasing movie
Cons: Highly formulaic plot, sometimes unsatisfying plot development, inconsequential acting

Pros: Very sensual, good story, excellent acting
Cons: Moves a bit slow

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...

Pros: Looks good.
Cons: Plays bad.

I guess Original Sin could be seen as a movie so laughable it’s good, one of those guilty pleasures. But that’s not the way it wants to be taken. Every last moment is excessively pretentious and earnest to be anything but straightforward....

Pros: This proves Angelina Jolie is naked beneath her clothes - and out of them, too!
Cons: It was a waste of skin.

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...

Pros: ?, Moments of Banderas' Acting, Gregory Itzin
Cons: Terrible Plot, Idiotic Characters, Mostly Bad Acting

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 ...

Pros: Great locations and cinematography. Solid acting. Angelina Jolie nude.
Cons: Plot is too obvious from the outset.

(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...

Pros: Unintentionally hilarious. Angelina Jolie gets naked.
Cons: Unintentionally hilarious a bit too often.

A long-delayed picture that was supposed to come out late last Winter (note: the DVD box even states ...

Pros: Very strong performances, and a well-pedigreed script
Cons: Soapy melodrama. To quote Dylan "What's good is bad. What's bad is good."

There is only one thing better than a guilty pleasure being indulged. This happens when a guilty pleasure one has forgotten is given a full massage, a two week vacation, an unlimited supply of beverages and food of choice and a nice hefty...
