57. Cruel Intentions

Fri May 9, 2014, 12:19 PM

May 2014

I've xeen it a few times. Outstanding performance by Sarah Michelle Gellar.Ryan Philippe, not so much. Selma Blair was also vrry good. I knew it was based on Dangerous Liaisons. I found Laisions boring, but thought Intentions was lotsa fun! Go figure!!

I think you're gonna find that movies you loved in the '80s generally hold up very nicely. In fact, offhand I can't think of one I felt was dated.
