Not the book, yet still a great movie!!,
I must agree with everyone who wrote reviews on this movie that it is not at all like the book by Dumas, but I don’t think that’s a good reason not to like this movie. It’s lots of fun and has plenty of action and adventure. And I think that’s it’s not only great for kids but for teenagers and adults alike.
Here’s the summary of “The Three Musketeers”. Chris O’Donnel is D’Artagnan, a young, brash, proud, yet courageous ‘kid’ whose only dream is to become one of the king’s musketeers. But when he gets to Paris, he finds that the musketeers have been disbanded by the young King Louis’s (Hugh O’Conor) evil Cardinal, Richelieu (Tim Curry). But three musketeers who are the best of friends, Athos (Kiefer Sutherland), Aramis (Charlie Sheen), and Porthos (Oliver Platt), are suspicious of Cardinal Richelieu and his henchman Rochefort (Michael Wincott). D’Artagnan is put in jail for fighting the Cardinal’s guards with the three musketeers. Though he tries to escape yet fails, he is able to overhear the Cardinal’s plan to take over the throne, building an alliance with the Duke of Buckingham by way of a special courier, Lady DeWinter (Rebecca De Mornay). And before D’Artagnan is executed, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos rescue him and together set out to stop Richelieu’s spy. They do intercept her, finding out that Lady DeWinter was actually Athos’s wife, whom had betrayed him and him sending her away. At the last moment they find out that the Cardinal is planning to have the king assisinated on his birthday. The four men return as swiftly as possible to Paris and with the help of all the musketeers, stop Richelieu.
As I said, though this movie has plenty of funny and humorous parts, it still has plenty of action and adventure, with a touch of romance here and there. The fighting is really good, and the acting was terrific, especially all the three musketeers, Tim Curry, and Michael Wincott. I love the endless little ‘extras’ Porthos always has with him!
An enjoyable film which is very entertaining! I also recommend for you to watch “The Three Musketeers” which was made in the early 1970’s.

Festive Musketeers,
Alexandre Dumas may or may have not liked the Disney version of his story, but your whole family should. This often remade classic is more comedic in this version. I personally liked it. But then I have liked most versions in their style. The 1973 version with Oliver Reed as Athos and this version with Keifer Sutherland as Athos stand out above the rest in my humble opinion. The 1973 version for the drama and this one for the comedy.
Tim Curry is marvelous as Cardinal Richelieu. He is so borderline outrageously lecherous you think he is going to burst out laughing like a madman or go into song from “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. He never plays the piety like Charlton Heston did in the 1973 version. He goes more for the deviousness of an outright power mad religious leader.
The entire cast is great. With Charlie Sheen, Chris O’Donnell, Oliver Platt, and Rebecca DeMornay how could it be anything but well acted. I would bet the entire cast had a great time filming this version. The dramatic parts with DeMornay as Lady DeWinter are quite touching and the comedic parts with Porthos the Pirate, played by Platt, are quite funny. I was impressed with Stephen Herek’s direction.
Disney did a great job of transferring this movie to DVD. The DVD picture and sound quality is first class. The DVD includes a featurette, theatrical trailers, and Bios. Well worth adding to your collection of movies like “The Princess Bride”, “Ever After”, and “Robin Hood”.

The Best “Poison Ivy” so far.,
Clearly the the most erotic of the “Poison Ivy”movies. Jaime Pressly who plays Violet really takes the movie toanother level. Lets not forget Athena Massey who plays her mother who is also HOT. Megan Edwards played her role well as Joy but dose not show any skin, not that she needed to she was really sexy. The DVD has both the Unrated and R-rated versions and bot fullscreen and widescreen formats, It has no other options like commentary. Buy it if you are a fan of the “Poison Ivy” movies and if you want to see how HOT is Jaime Pressly.
(took off one start ‘cuse there is no Commentary)

jaime pressly as sexy dominatrix…wow!,
Gorgeous, sexy young blonde actress Jaime Pressly plays a dominatrix who takes revenge on her enemies by seducing and killing them. She uses all the tricks – chains, handcuffs, whips, to bring her men to submission and then strikes. Great sexy concept, like Basic INstinct or Body of Evidence. If the idea of an innocent-looking luscious girl tying up, torturing and killing helpless men turns you on, watch this movie!

Plot? Who needs it!,
Back in the mid 90’s, Thursday nights were the official start of the weekend, and we would invariably start with a “group acceptable” movie and a few cocktails at someone’s apartment, before invariably heading out into the night. I put “group acceptable” in parenthesis, because “acceptable” was a bit of a misnomer; the only movies that everyone agreed upon were non-plot driven flicks with semi-starlets, who, thankfully enough, were kind enough to appear sans clothing at various times during the course of the show. This movie was one of the last we saw before switching over to Antiques Roadshow (don’t ask), and eventually disbanding. I decided to review this movie because now, 4 short years later, I have become fairly domesticated (as has everyone else), and drinking on Thursday’s has become a fond, albeit hazy memory from the past, and I want to do my part to ensure that this great piece of cinema is not dismissed as just one more piece of exploitative, late-night HBO soft-core filler that it appears to be.
To hold this movie to the same standards as a regular movie would be a disservice to it, and I think it should be rated against other movies of its genre:
1) Nudity – 5 Stars – What can I say except for bravo. Veteran B-movie writer Karen Kelly has managed to create a plot where nude scenes seamlessly flow into each other, and actually kind of make sense. One constantly expects Ron Jeremy to make a quick cameo; the quality is that good.
2) Starlet Quality – 1 Star- At the time of this movie Jaime Pressly had only one previous acting role (playing the pre-teen American girl in Mercenary), and the excitement factor knowing she was soon to be nude was just not there. (For an example of a 5 star in this category, check out Nicole Eggert in “Blown Away”, which is, possibly the greatest nude/starlet movie ever made).
3) Acting – 5 Stars – The acting…. Wooden? Terrible? Mind-Numbing? Yes! And More! I’ve always felt that the amount of nudity should be inversly proportional to the quality of acting. I call it the erotic neuron quotent. Think of the 10 minutes between nude scenes as a big neuron, and your attention span as the surge of electricity running its length. As you watch the fully clothed bad acting, you start to get annoyed, and begin to lose interest (as the electric charge does as it runs the length of the neuron). By minute 9 you are fumbling for the remote, and about to stop the tape, when WAM! , the new nudity recharges the battery (as does the charge as it moves to another neuron) and you are good for another 10 minutes.
Determining the final score can be tricky. One suggestion is to add the three categories up, divide by 3, and then add 1 point for every nude scene over 3. Or, if you have seen the other two installments, you could get the guys together, pour a pinot noir, and compare and contrast the merits and plotline on your own. Whatever your method, Good Luck, and Happy Viewing!
