#100 Another 9 1/2 Weeks (1997)

"Boo!"

aka Love in Paris
105min
Notable cast: Mickey Rourke, Angie Everhart, Steven Berkoff









So, how to review a movie in which nothing happens? Another 9 1/2 Weeks has John Gray (Rourke) travel to Paris in search for his old love, Elizabeth. Instead he finds a new fuck buddy named Lea (Everhart). First half of the movie has John contemplating suicide and generally sulking cause he can't find his lost love. Half-way through he is told SPOILER that Elizabeth is in fact dead, and not away out of country somewhere. Johns reaction to this is looking mildly annoyed.

"aww man"

After that crucial plot twist the characters continue to do absolutely nothing, the end. Thrilling.
The acting in this movie is quite diverse. Rourke doesn't give a flying fuck in the entire film. Man seems bored and embarrassed at the same time, no effort given here. Sleepwalking through a role would be more interesting to look at. On the flip side Everhart is trying. Problem is she's a horrible actress. Quite painful to witness her try this femme fatale thing. The most entertaining of these is Steven Berkoff, who is wildly overacting in every scene he is in. Too bad he has like 3 scenes.

"Cool shirt bro"

There's really nothing funny here besides the god-awful dialogue and few random scenes. One of these is Rourke kicking a guys ass in a club toilet and moments later escaping from the building like a bomb is about to go off, for no reason whatsoever.

"GET DOWN!"

So all in all, quite the easy start for this blog, finished this in one sitting easily, a luxury i'm afraid is not a recurring thing. Next up is The Horror of Party Beach.
