Striptease
Striptease
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 11/09/2010This horrible misfire from the usually reliable writer-director Andrew Bergman (The Freshman) has nothing funny, provocative, timely, or interesting to say (despite being based on a novel by Carl Hiaasen) once Demi Moore gets her clothes off. Moore plays a single, unemployed mom caught up in a custody battle who elects to make some money by stripping at a club. The character’s troubles don’t end there, however: Her ex-husband is posing a threat, and a perverted congressman (Burt Reynolds) is looking for more than a lap dance. Bergman’s great wit is nowhere in sight, and the film primarily becomes another opportunity for Moore to function like a special effect. The unrated video version of t

The Seventh Sign
DEMI MOORE ELECTRIFIES AS A YOUNG WOMAN WHO MUST PREVENT HERUNBORN BABY FROM PLAYING AN OMINOUS ROLE IN THE COMING OF THE END OF THE WORLD.Seas boil, heavens fall, and Demi Moore takes a candlelit bath in this effective apocalyptic chiller. The prosthetic-enhanced Moore plays a pregnant nonbeliever whose baby may hold the key to impending Armageddon. Logic is not exactly the strong point in this well-acted, stylish, theological grab bag, but the random collection of horrific images manages to work more often than not. An acceptable time waster for fans of The Omen and The Exorcist. Also starring Michael Biehn (The Terminator), the always welcome John Heard in a brief cameo, and the exceptional Jürgen Prochnow as a mysterious stranger who c

Very Sexy,
A fun comedy, I would thik made with a pretty low budget, but still worth seeing and if you like Demi Moore it is definetly worth buying it.
In the unrated version you will see some more nude scenes compared to the original.
It is definetly the sexiest movie for Demi Moore’s fans.

|Despite negative reviews, Striptease is a great movie,
Demi Moore was excellent in this film. She is not only a beautiful woman, not just body wise, but within her soul.
Demi plays a divorced woman, Erin Grant, who looses custody of her beloved daughter to a scumbag of an ex husband. (This is typical justice in the real world. I relate to this movie because it happened to me and I haven’t seen my daughter for 13 years.)
Anyway, she had a respectful job at the FBI and looses it because of her husband’s criminal activities. Then she looses her daughter because she doesn’t have a job.
So she becomes an exotic dancer to make the money needed to get her daughter back. It’s excellent money for her but she doesn’t really like what she’s doing. However, she performs with class and dignity, regardless of the stigmitism of “strippers.” Ving Rhames, who is the bouncer Shad, has a soft spot in his heart for Erin. Anyone calling her a “stripper” will find a drill gun spinning at their forehead. She is a “dancer.”
Burt Reynolds plays the corrupt, twisted Congressman who finds his “angel” (Erin) and persues her. There is legal snaffu’s, funny scenes, and Erin is witty and courages because she will not give up on her daughter. Her love for her daughter is deep and real.
Demi learned to dance like an exotic dancer for this film and after just having a baby at the time, she looks great.
This film you will either like it or not. If you’re looking for a lot of skin, T&A, this is not what you want. This film does have class. Demi’s brief nudity in the film just proves that she is a confident woman and a great actress.

|Surprisingly Good! Not so sexy, but really funny.,
So a friend and I snagged this movie for a guy’s night when the girls were out of town. We got it more as a joke than anything else. I was quite surprised by how much I liked it. Not because it was sexy but because it was funny. The main thing this flick has going for it is that it didn’t take itself seriously. Ving Rhames, who I always love, did a superb job playing a no BS bodyguard. Burt Reynolds was hilarious. And Demi? Well, she got naked. That’s about all I can say for her. The story was hugely predictable, and the acting was pretty bad, but this movie was really funny. There were some great one-liners. The best line of the movie was one of Ving’s: “Nico: What are you, nuts?! Shad: Yeah, psycho. Delusions of invincibility combined with a strong homicidal urge. I have a kick-your-ass fetish.” Rent it with the guys, drink a few beers, have a few laughs. It’s not as bad as you might think.

|Watch for revival of The Seventh Sign,
Amid the various current releases with themes relating to the turn of the millenium and the Apocalypse, The Seventh Sign is a thought-provoking and scary sleeper from a more than a decade before (1988) that’s bound for a revival in 2000.
A very pregnant Abby Quinn (Demi Moore) has a disturbing, recurring dream of a Roman soldier (Peter Friedman) striking a condemned Jesus Christ to the ground and demanding, “Will you die for him?” Little does she know the future of the world rests on her answer to the question after the Messiah returns to Earth as David Bannon (Jurgen Prochnow), a mysterious traveling teacher of ancient languages who rents a Venice, California garage apartment from Abby and her husband Russell (Michael Biehn).
Prochnow (Das Boot, The English Patient) puts on such a convincing performance as Christ it’s very easy to believe he is indeed the Messiah returned to the present to unleash the wrath of God as he breaks the seals of the Seven Signs. An ethereal musical score by Jack Nitzsche helps set an eerie mood as the plot moves rapidly to a startling and uplifting Judgment Day conclusion. This is one worth watching again and again.

|Not a great movie, but…,
This is a movie people! It is obviously not a true interpretation of the Book of Revelations. It is an enjoyable movie with a “religious” plot. Watch it for what it is. Not for it’s biblical prophecies.

|One of the better apocalyptic thrill-rides from Hollywood.,
Most have never even heard of this movie, which is a true shame, for The Seventh Sign is a nice little look at what will happen, or might happen, when the seven signs of the apocalypse come to pass. Demi Moore plays Abby Quinn, a woman in the last month of her pregnancy who meets a man intent on renting the apartment above the Quinn’s garage. This man is seen earlier in the film walking among different places, cracking seals that unleash ruin on the lands and seas. Abby, after much deliberation, begins to discover that her tenant is not what she originally saw him to be, and suspects that he may want to bring harm to her unborn child. She dreams of a man being struck, and a soldier yelling, “Will you die for him?” This movie definitely has a factor of suspense which is evident throughout most of the picture, and the conveyance of each of the seven signs is very haunting and original. Acting is an added plus, especially in the most tense of situations. Do not be mistaken by its low-key status; The Seventh Sign will have you on the edge of your seat, hungry for answers.
