sex and death 101
Story:
Roderick Blank recieves an e-mail with the names of the 101 women he had and will ever $%#@ with. He sets out to complete
his task. Meanwhile the mysterious woman Death Nell seduces men and puts them into comas...
My opinion:
sex and death has some intersting ideas and scenes and features some funny acting by Winona, but even while a clearly
better movie than boys or deeds I would put this only slightly above darwin awards and well below winona's comedy highlights
like heathers or mermaids. This is mainly due to two points:
1) even if the story has some intersting ideas and heather-esque
scenes (especially the dream and flashback scenes) the story is quite confusing at first: why is this machine sending the
letters and what has Death Nell / Gillian De Raisx to do with it? Why does Roderick screws his life because of an e-mail?
Why is Death Nell putting men into comas? The first two are never truely answered during the movie.
2) the quality of the
supporting cast varies heavily with hightlights from Frances Fisher (who played Winona's mom in Welcome Home, Roxy and still
looks amazing for her age) and
the guy who normally plays the janitor on Scrubs, but also some quite bleak performances by some of the female actresses
who Roderick $%#@s.
Additionally I've to say that the city set they used looked a little like the Main Street from Disneyland...
Winona has some funny and hillarious scenes, even if she's only is in about one fifth of the movie and she also wears some
super-hot dresses....
The movie is about 110 minutes long - not 100 minutes as said on IMDB but maybe they cut it down a little so that it's suitable for the US market, meaning they remove the nudity, in germany it's rated as 16+...
On the DVD are interviews but none with Winona....
