Kiss of Fire Reviews:
spoilers mentioned everyone......hmm. stripper by evening and working regular job in daytime?how flagrant.could of been better
2007-12-24 - hola.
and i cannot believe i have never heard of this movie being a movie and soap tv buff since 12 and then recording artist too for decades! i love her films and television...and this movie ok well 1st,kinda cheesy lol boring etc.but

i say how flagrant because it is so typical for movies imo anyhow. i mean
come on get more original plz.gracias.lol but i did like it alot for the
1st time watching on the S AND M lol channel and no guys i do not mean
submission and dominatrix lol but S AND M is a new time slot after 10 p.m.
on mi fave,one of mi fave channels on soapnet channel who show ALL classic
80's and new 90's type movies too! i just finish seeing my girls christine
and applegate is awesome. i just adore her and love her,she is my age now
in her mid 30's or so and i just adore christina so for this reason PLUS
i love the sexy tall dark guy italiano name of Stefano i just love how he truly adored mixed up but lovely and loveable claudine,

i think the ending
suck how he put on a bra to make her think or love him more that was kinda
weird,but i do get why he wanted her to love him at practically ANY COST
to put on make up and a bra lol just to seem as if he was one of her old
stripper girls etc lol i was laughing at this part with mi papi here when
we were watching this but over all i do believe he TRULY LOVED HER but she
was just too mixed up in my opinion and at the end it was really too late
when he tried to see her getting off the bus to go back to where she was
at visiting the OLD house then she was already dead sad and tragic love story, a strange love story but DEFINITELY a TRUE LOVES STORY with tragic
of course in the end.i will watch it again only because i LOVE C.A. and
stefano is such delicious eye candy to look at yum yum! lol but that is the only reason,they got good/great chem on screen together! sizzling hot!
and the fact i will watch it again if it is on or buy it cause i love her
movie and tv shows,she is a natural for years in front of the camer so cute and great actress in my opinion.but could have been MUCH BETTER over all.but no complaints much i love her anyway.good movie alot boring but overall again i give it at least a tres...three for ALL reasoning listed
adios!

Kiss of Fire (aka: Claudine's Return)
2007-09-13 - Now this is an outstanding example of independent style film-making. While the subject matter and characters wildly swing from eccentric, impish, passionate to spiritual, the easiest conflict to recognize is the tormented love-affair of Claudine Van Doozen (played by Christina Applegate of Married with Children fame) and Stefano Marui (Stefano Dionisi). To add to this complex mix of emotions, Claudine has tendencies to be openly self-envolved, including AC-DC tendencies. This then relegates Stefano as simply an escort, as Claudine routinely shares herself with her other female acquaintances. Nevertheless, Stefano is like a moth-to-the flame, spell-bound by Claudine's physical beauty, moodiness, spiritual insights, inner-conflicts, plus deep personal scars. By conjecture, this film supposedly depicts a fringe element of southern society that may shock you. But like Stefano, you become ever-intrigued to see how it all plays out, and who will ultimately win Claudine---if at all possible. Truly, this film is a sleeper-classic that will likely never be aired on network TV...at least not during the kiddy-hour!

I played a small role in this film
2005-06-02 - and I have to say that this is the worst movie I have ever seen. I watched alot of the scenes being filmed and I can tell you that in her cocaine induced state she still can't act. I own it only because it reminds me of the days that I had long red hair... yeah that is me the amateur porn girl heheheh

Rent it, don't buy it.
2005-03-09 - I can honestly say that this movie wasn't interesting in the slightest. The only reason that I even watched it is that my best friend and I were extras in this movie. We were in the strip club scenes. It was great. I almost hit Christina in the face with a pool stick once. It was first going to be called "Claudine's Return" but they changed it. I wish someone had told me. I had to find out several years later from a friend of mine who found it on the internet. I thought that the movie had been scrapped or something. When I finally watched it, it bored me so much I had to fast-foward it to the scene that we were in. My friend did the same thing. Christina did a great job acting though. She has great talent but made a bad choice in making this movie. If they had chosen a different actress to play Claudine, it wouldn't even be worth renting.

Beautiful film... Great for Christina Applegate fans
2004-05-26 - I bought this DVD because I am a HUGE fan of Christina Applegate, and it was well worth the price. The film is really beautiful, but the standout thing here is Christina's performance. She does an amazing job as Claudine, a woman trying to escape her past. Now, we come to one of the reasons I gave the film four stars: What past was Claudine trying to escape? That was never really said in the movie, and it would have been better if it was. Claudine is a laundry-girl by day and exotic dancer by night. Christina has a really good dance sequence early in the film. A young Italian man, Stefano, begins to work at the inn that Claudine works at during the day, and he goes to the club where she dances one night. Claudine and Stefano form a relationship, but problems come along, and their relationship is tested. This is a very dramatic, dark movie, and it makes me sad every time I Watch it, but sad in a good way. Christina proves here that she really is one of the best actresses of this generation (one of the best ever, in my opinion). I would reccomend this film to anyone who wants to see a beautiful drama, or anyone who likes Christina. In the end, there are a few questions that the viewer will have, though. I found that watching it a second time helped me understand, and I noticed a lot of things that I missed the first time, but that is another reason I gave it four stars, because there are still a few unanswered questions in the end.
