Movie Review

Grade: D A period piece, Angelina Jolie, Antonio Banderas, sex, deceit... what could possibly go wrong? If MGM had really read into the question, maybe they never would have released this movie at all. Original Sin, long-delayed for one reason or another, should have been shelved altogether, because it does an injustice to the two main characters... of course it was their fault that they signed on in the first place.

hey now, by Cleo

Okay, so it's not the best movie ever made...but Original Sin is... HOT and it's SEXY, SUSPENSEFUL, "VISUALLY LUSH," and did I mention hot and sexy. THey stars are so hot, who can even pay attention to the character development? It is also sexy, SENSUAL, and bitterly romantic. A swell pre-sex saturday nite film, or just for anytime viewing. - HOT
