596.0. "Color of Night" by 36058::TARDUGNOM () Fri Jul 22 1994 01:10

    All Bruce Willis fans ..come out of hiding!
    
    Bruce is a psychiatrist ... his friend (co-worker?) gets murdered....
    so Bruce takes over the dead pal's therapy group, in order 
    to find out who the killer is....
    Gets involved with Jane March (from the movie The Lover) and
    things get very steamy from there...and dangerous...
    
    I know I'm a little early (won't be released for a few weeks)
    but I was just watching   Entertainment Tonite and they
    had at the end of the show   the video on this movie....
    Video and song  looked and sounded  goooood... I've read other
    snippits on the movie before and I've really liked Willis since his
    Moonliting days....I'd watch him in anything.
    
    Will anyone remember where this note is  in 3 weeks?

    		What movie?
596.4It was good...UHUH::MARISONScott MarisonMon Feb 13 1995 13:5216
Ok... I rented this movie on video last night. Actually, the name is 
"Color of Night"... no "The" in the title.

I liked it. It kept me quessing as to who the killer was, it made my wife
jump a few times, and the sex scenes were very, um... well, sexual...  ;-)

For those you care, it was a directors cut version, so I don't know if it's 
in the original movie or not but you do get a quick glimpse of Bruce's... well,
let's just say you'll know if he's been circumsized or not. ;-)

I know this movie was panned by the critics, but I liked it. Maybe if I had
my brain turned on, I would have picked out a lot of problems with it, but
it was sunday night and no way am I gonna think about anything on Sunday 
night...

596.5I can say I've seen it..:-}USCTR1::SCHILTONMRO3-1/E9, DTN 297-7558Wed Feb 22 1995 12:5618
    I rented the video last night, didn't like the movie...it struck
    me as a strange bunch of characters, strange twists 'n turns, 
    (although I recognized a character in disguise immediately),
    and a lot of extreme behavior/personalities ... I'm sure the 
    average psychologist doesn't deal with this variety of weirdos!!
    
    "Visually", though, I liked it.  There's a big fancy house with a 
    view, nice cars, nice clothes, all the trappings of wealthy LA.  
    Bruce Willis is easy on the eyes, naked or clothed, Jane March is 
    pretty, and together, well, they...appear to enjoy themselves 
    ..in a variety of places, even under-water.  (I wonder how long
    it took to film that one).
    
    The one thing that struck me was the music...it didn't seem to
    fit the emotion/activity on-screen.  And the ending was different,,
    that's for sure.

    Funny you should mention the ending, it took me by surprize
    it was funny!
596.7Thumbs upNETRIX::michaudThe LoverTue Mar 07 1995 01:1814
	This movie surprised me too.  After I thought most critics had
	panned it and it was bascially a flop at the box office I
	wasn't expecting much.  However this one kept my attention
	as a suspense thriller.  I didn't guess any of the plot twists
	in advance ......

	I must of blinked however when they showed Bruce's penis,
	so .-2 tell me, is he circumcised?  Jane March appears to
	of either grown up (and out) or has gotton implants since
	the filming of "The Lover" (which I believe she was only 16 or
	17 when it was filmed).  The added 15 minutes of footage (I'm
	guessing the sex scenes) was slightly steamy, but certainly
	not as steamy as in "The Lover".  Luckily the movie was good
	on it's own.

    No one mentioned that acting of Rueben Blades...as great character
    actor, who was in The Milagro Beanfield War and Odd Man Out (a great
    film). Rueben made this film folks. Without him, it would have been
    extremely boring. MHO.

596.10Good point...28364::SCHILTONMRO3-1/E9, DTN 297-7558Wed Mar 08 1995 17:025
    You're right, Scott...about Reuben Blades.  And the whole 
    twist involving him and the older patient was great...how
    they were connected
