    theres a part where mimi rogers asks tim matheson why his cat is staring at her and hes like idk maybe he knows something i don't hehehehe ;) ;) (she's a MURDERESS! not sure if the cat knew or not) but they cut to the cat a few times and its very cute. orange tabby. great little face. lots of whiskers. i like that

  • Review by Alan H 🐳 ★★½

    Continuing the William Forsythe deep dive.

    This should be so much better: Mimi Rogers as an ~erotic murderess~, Forsythe as the cranky cop on her tail, Tim Matheson as a dumb yuppie whose only friend is his cat (a very cute ginger boy). Extremely heavy handed/insensitive portrayals of abuse and mental illness, but that’s par the course for the time. The biggest issue is that it’s tame even for a TV movie and incident-free for long stretches. But I’ll be darned if it doesn’t feature one of the most sax-heavy scores I’ve ever heard.

    In one scene William Forsythe tells his boss “quit busting my onions!”… Onions???

  • Review by maggiethrash ★★★

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Smoking hot saxophone, an orange cat, Tim Matheson, doppelgängers, trains, characters who watch French films, shameless shots of Atlanta we’re supposed to believe is Boston. I couldnt ask for more except maybe a remotely good ending

  • Review by Erin Scott Bailey ★★★

    Another decent 90s neo noir starring the gorgeous Mimi Rogers. The smoky saxophone driven score is pretty classic.

  • Review by mattdelia ★★★½ 1

    It is the best of movies, it is the worst of movies. (So it’s great.)

  • Review by juniorcabbage

    disappointed that it was not a blood link situation, good forsythe, frustratingly swagless tim matheson

  • Review by William Boyle ★★★½

    Been meaning to watch this for a while as I make my way through the Mimi Rogers movies I haven’t seen—I love her so much. Finally clicked play after seeing it pop up in WE KILL FOR LOVE. Ran on NBC in 1993. Director Leon Ichaso was fresh off SUGAR HILL. The script is by Deborah Dalton, who’d written WHORE for Ken Russell a couple of years before. A nice little stab at an old-fashioned noir melodrama. Smoking hot Mimi, dirty George S. Clinton sax, lots of gratuitous ceiling fan shots, some nice blues, and a fun turn from William Forsythe make this hum steadily along.

  • Review by wekillforlove

    FILM #37 of A Beginner’s Guide to the DTV Erotic Thriller - 100 Films to Start Your Journey.

    Terrific neo-noir romance thriller that hits all the right beats. Every classic trope -- the dupe, the hard boiled detective, the gorgeous femme fatale -- is on display in a neon-lit aquarium of 1940s-meets-1990s style.

    Tim Matheson plays the hapless psychology professor who meets a mysterious and sophisticated woman (Mimi Rogers) on a train. This dame might just be the mysterious lady cops refer to as Bedroom Eyes, a high class call-girl linked to several homicides. William Forsythe, as angry and determined-looking as ever, pounds the pavement in claustrophobic circles around the two lovers. Fans of Brian de Palma's Dressed to Kill

  • Review by Dennis Nedry

    So the title is Those Bedroom Eyes, not "A Kiss to Die For" which is really generic. It's worth pointing out because the film can so easily be defined by the scene where someone stares out into space and says:

    "Those eyes..."

    And we all join in!

    "THOSE BEDROOM EYES!"

    It's a TV movie, a bit on the lame side carnally but above average in terms of hokey-in-the-pokey. Times when it scores on the hoot-o-meter: Opening act, when psychology doctor Tim Matheson tries to kill himself (I think?) by hanging out of a speeding train, is randomly saved by momentarily confused stranger Mimi Rogers who immediately drags him to her cabin for some hanky panky. Meanwhile, there's a serial killer…

  • Review by Fake Joust ★★★

    When I watched this on Tubi it was called Those Bedroom Eyes. It's funny how these 90s erotic thrillers often go by multiple names. It's listed here as A Kiss to Die For but the poster clearly says Those Bedroom Eyes. This seems to be hilariously common.

    In any case, whatever it's called, was actually really entertaining albeit in a 90s made for TV kinda way. No nudity so not overly erotic but I found it to be quite thrilling. Without spoiling anything (because I know you're definitely about to go watch it yourself as soon as you finish reading this) I think it did a fair job of not completely shitting all over some of the pathology it showcases.

  • Review by Wendy Mays ★★★

    All hail Floyd the cat.

  • Review by Adam Arnold ★★½

    An improbable angle set to saxophone and synthesizer

    Would you….with Tim Matheson?
