Ji-Woo Hwang’s poems describe a life governed by the inescapable reality that all hell may break loose at any time, a reality that now permeates our own culture. His poems mix lyrical intensity with an ! acute political sensibility, creating an uneasy tension that m! akes the m by turns moving, humorous, and unnerving.
Ji-Woo Hwang has since written seven books of poetry.
Regardless, Another 9-1/2 Weeks was released direct to video, so perhaps this tells us something about the confidence of loosing a sequel into an unsuspecting theater market. Of course, the central question raised by the sequel is: Whatever happened to John? After all, when Kim Basinger won an Oscar in L.A. Confidential, we lost any chance of seeing what happened to Elizabeth. Well, true to his burly macho sensitivity, John's been yearning for the glory days, when he could take a casual stroll from his Wall Street job and pick up someone like Elizabeth for three months of increasingly scumbag treatment. We can practically hear him thinking, "Where are those closet-sub, art gallery dealer! s when you really need them?"
Try Paris. That's the home ! of Lea ( Angie Everhart), Elizabeth's best friend. Aha--will she be John's new obsession, or the catalyst for a deeper, more profound change in his character? See if you can tell from his thoughtful, yet fashionably brooding expression as he gazes toward the Seine at the end. --Stephan MagcostaSam (Angie Everhart) is a bright, young college student with a promising future when she suddenly finds herself in the middle of her boyfriend, Jed's (Brian Wimmer), half-million dollar robbery. During the heist things go terribly wrong when Jed shoots a security guard. Sam rushes to the security guards aid only to be shot herself by her ruthless boyfriend, who takes the money and runs. Taking the fall rather than turn Jed in, Sam serves hard jail time. Four years later, she is released and determined to seek revenge. D.A. cop, Joe Massa (James Russo), who has followed Sam's story, offers to help get her man, but only on one condition -- that she helps him get his --Jed's powerful and ! vindictive boss Mr. Venti (Eric Roberts), the head of a major crime ring. Angie Everhart, James Russo, Eric Roberts Samantha (Angie Everhart) has a bright career ahead of her until her boyfriend tricks her into helping him with a burglary that turns to murder. Sam takes the rap, and when she gets out of jail four years later, her life in tatters, she's looking for revenge. Turns out her boyfriend's joined the mob and there's a maverick cop (James Russo) who's going to force her to help him get the Big Boss. The dialog is lame and the plot is ludicrous in this direct-to-video distaff variation on Payback. It's the sort of movie in which Angie sneaks off and shoots a buncha bad guys, so the cop threatens to throw her in jail. She sneaks off again--bang, bang, bang--he threatens to throw her in jail again. This goes on three or four times. Former supermodel Everhart skulks and scowls her way through the picture, but even her greased-up hair and grunged-down ! outfit can't hide those glorious cheekbones. Eric Roberts ph! ones in another one for the paycheck. Only Joe Penny, as a mid-level mobster, brings any life to the party. All that being said, the film works on its most fundamental level--as the story of a woman grimly seeking revenge because it's the only meaningful response to what life has dealt her. --Geof MillerD.R.E.A.M.
