Magenta (1997)

ridiculous rating

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This movie seemed pretty dated and a little cheesy at first but I caught it late one night and was happy not to have missed it. I really enjoyed the story although; it was a little raunchy. I feel would appeal mainly to women - it's definitely a chick flick. The story focuses on a teenage girl who has a crush on her sister's boyfriend. It follows the story of how she peruses and finally gets him into bed; with some pretty steamy sex scenes and consequences to go with it. Julian McMahon is hot, hot, hot! in this movie - it was an absolute pleasure to watch him. It was a fantasy turned in to a movie! Brilliant and totally enjoyable for all Julian McMahon fans!

This movie is about a Man, his wife,his best friend, and his sister-in-law Magenta.in this movie The main character Michael is sad and alone because his wife Helen is always away on business trips.Little does he know she's fooling around with his best friend Craig (A bi-sexual who will have sex with just about anyone). Then Magenta arrives (Helen's Beautiful younger sister). I believe Magenta is 16yrs old and she's a skinny little Gal. Well anyways Michael gets so desperate for love he watches Magenta undress when his wife is not around because she's at her so called "business trips". Then things heat up And He starts sleeping with Magenta. If you want more info I suggest you rent it I liked this movie but Is not for kids Its one of those erotic adult films. In reality I assume Magenta is about 21. I have been reading other reviews for this movie (at a different website) and they say The girl who plays Magenta can't act. Well they are wrong she did a great job and she's a sexy beautiful talented girl. I feel very sorry for Magenta through out this whole movie she is used by Michael for sex he also beat her and she gets blamed by everyone for everything. You've got to rent this people .This poor Magenta Girl gets treated like dirt and the movie doesn't even focus on Magenta. It's all about poor Michael But I think his Character and his wife Helen's Character and His best friend Craig all were jerks and backstabbing liars. The makers of Magenta should have focused more On the Title character of this movie "Magenta". They should have called this movie "Michael".Watch the movie and keep this review in mind.

I thought the story was great and detailed. Kennedy is a stud and daring in this role. McMahon is believable but a bit dull. Same character he plays in the Profiler basically. Would love to see more of Marklen and A.Story. But get the Magenta some acting lessons. Recommend this film to all buffs who like story in a film. Right on!!!

I felt that this movie showed the excellent acting ability of Julian McMahon and Marklen Kennedy. As doctors and close friends, Michael Walsh (McMahon) finds out how evil temptations can change a man's thinking and actions. Drawn into the depths of decadence by his friend Craig (Kennedy), Michael soon learns that everything is not as it seems. The acting was excellent, great storyline, and a dynamite ending, leaving the viewer in total amazement. I recommend this movie highly.
