>>>>WHOA, STRONG, BRIGHT WOMEN "SETTIN' IT OFF" AGAIN ON SCREEN >THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUTI LOVE & RESPECT YOU BABY<... TRUE EBONY-BEAUTY, BRAINS & BRAWN...
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
>>>W.I.D.O.W.S IS STRICTLY ABOUT WIVES BEING FORCED 2 "RECTIFY" THE MESS THAT THEIR SPOUSE HAS BURIED THEM IN!!!! 4 WOMEN LIVES ARE INTERTWINED 4 AN UNFORTUNATE REASON... I'LL START WITH DOLLY/MERCEDES R., SHE'S MARRIED, RICH & SUCESSFUL... SHE'D ALWAYS WANTED THE MANSION, CHILD & PICKETT FENCE-LIFE THAT SHE'S BEEN PLANNING SINCE MARRIAGE! IN 2ND PLACE IS LINDA/ROSIE P. SHE'S NOT WEALTHY, SHE WORKS AT A USED CAR LOT WITH A BOSS THAT'S CONSTANTLY RIDING HER ASS... HER BEST FRIEND IS "BELLA/N'BUSHE W." A STRIPPER/ARTIST WHO HAS DREAMS OF RISING 2 THE TOP!!!! THE LAST WIDOW WOULD BE "SHIRLEY/BROOKE S. SHE'S NOT TOO BRIGHT SHE LIVES IN A TRAILOR HOME WITH HER HUSBAND & MOTHER!!!! >THE ONLY THING SHE WAS SMART ABOUT WAS NOT HAVING ANY KIDS````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
I ESPECIALLY LOVED BELLA/N'BUSHE & DOLLY/MERCEDES BECAUSE I SHARED THE SAME VIEWS... *N'BUSHE IS REALLY "RIGHT" & MERCEDES REALLY "RULES"!!!! *IF YOU LOVE CRIME, MYSTERY, DRAMA & SUSPENSE WITH SEDUCTIVE ACTION THEN GET "WIDOWS" ON DVD OR VHS FROM Amazon OR YOUR LOCAL MOVIE STORE A.S.A.P!!!! "I MUST COMMEND THE DIRECTOR GEOFFREY SAX, 4 CHOOSING THE BEST POSSIBLE CAST"... VERY DAMN CLEVER 4 THE WRITER(S) 2 MAKE THIS FILM WITH EDGE & EXPLICIT CONTENT --YET IT'S STILL PG-13... (SO A CHILD CAN WATCH!!!! >VERY DAMN CLEVER<
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
>>>*THERE'S NO PROFANITY OR RAUNCHY SEXUAL SCENES... & THIS MOVIE STILL IS S-U-P-E-R-B *!!!! *THESE WOMEN ALL MEET UP WHEN DOLLY/MERCEDES', LINDA/ROSIES' & SHIRLEYS'/ROSIE HUSBANDS WERE MURDERED ALONG WITH BELLAS'/N'BUSHE LOVER... THEY ARE HARRASSED BY THE f.b.i ABOUT STOLEN PAINTINGS "THE NATURAL PICASSO" & "THE VERMEER" 2 BE EXACT! DOLLY KNEW FROM THE START THAT SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT ABOUT HOW HER HUSBANDS' SO-CALLED-DEATH-OCCURED... SO SHE GATHERS THE OTHER 3 THEN PAYS & PERSUADES THEM 2 JOIN HER 2 EXACT REVENGE ON WHOMEVER MURDERED? THEIR HUSBANDS!...
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
>>>THERE ARE TOO MANY cRoOkEd cops 2 MENTION!!!! DOLLY/MERCEDES DISCOVERS THAT HER HUSBAND WAS REALLY INVOLVED IN "THE HEIST OF THE PAINTINGS" THAT OCCURED 9 YEARS EARLIER WHILE SHE LAYED IN THE HOPITAL MIS-CARRYING THEIR BABY!?... IN FUSTRATION DOLLY ACCIDENTALLY BREAKS THE WALL IN THE ROOM THAT WAS 4 THEIR BABY & SHE FINDS "THE ORIGINAL PICASSO"... THEN SHE PUTS THE WHEELS IN MOTION & HAVE HER GIRLS HELP HER GET "THE VERMEER", THEN SHE TURNS IT OVER 2 THE BLUESUITS 4 $20 MILLION "BIG-BANK" THEN BREAKS HER GIRLS OFF PLENTY >4 THEIR TROUBLES````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
*WHATEVER YOU PAID 4 IT --IT'S WORTH IT!!!! IT'S 165 MINUTES THAT'S 2 HOURS & 45 MINUTES. >"I'M NOT GONNA GIVE IT ALL 2 YOU, BUT WHO BELIEVE AT 1ST 2 BE SUSPECT, PROBABLY IS"!!!! %%%%"WIDOWS" IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE CLICHE' 90 MINUTE MOVIE... YOU'LL STAY IN SUSPENSE! >>>"I DON'T CARE IF authority figures DON'T LIKE THIS, BUT SOMETIMES >CERTAIN CRIMES< ARE RATIONAL!!!!

'Widows' proves that there is definitely life after death !

I've always had a lot of time for the acting abilities of Mercedes Reuhl ('The Lost Child,' `What's Cooking?') and so with expectations high I put the DVD in, sat back, cracked open a cold one and readied myself for another great performance. Yes, I know that you're all now expecting me to ... all over her performance, but where Mercedes maintained a completely unflappable acting disposition, it has to be said that both eternally-annoying Rosie Perez and the emotion-lazy Brooke Shields both combined in trying their hardest in bringing this movie to its grazed knees ! 'Widows' is based on a British mini-series of the same name from back in the late 80s and whereas that was a six-parter, this is just a long ... two hours and forty-five minutes ! Colm Feore ('The Wrong Guy,' `The Red Violin') as Mr. Stein the luxury art gallery owner is a slow-paced delight to behold and, as you don't have to think too hard to figure out what the probable outcome will be, you can at the very least sit back, kick back and enjoy the penetratingly-hypnotic acting abilities of the great Mercedes Reuhl.[website] February 3, 2003
