... View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
... View MoreThe movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
... View Morelike many other series from the period, it could be only a nice series. not real good, far to be impressive, but useful for memories and meeting with alternative life . same recipes- good looking actors,not credible events for high level tension, friendship, ambiguity, hate and revenge. a series who has the virtue to remember the spirit of 1990 decade. that is all. short, a nice series. full of adventure and complicated situations, young people and nuances of cruelty. so,easy entertainment . not bad. because it is a right work , interesting for discover new form of fairy tale who translate every day reality/experiences/dreams in a better form than a soap opera.
... View MoreI loved Melrose Place. I wish it would make a comeback now that Heather and Jack are really dating now. That show still had so much life in it and I am surprised that even Beverly Hills 90210 lasted like one more year after melrose place and I never watched that show because I feel the actors on that show were not as good or as interesting as the Melrose Place characters. This show was more like an adult show than 90210 was, it dealt more with adult situations no kiddie high school crap. My favorite male actors on the show were the guys that played Peter, Micheal, Craig, kyle, jake, and of course the cute hunk billy babe. Please do a reuion show soon I want to see what has happened to all the actors and how they look now of course.
... View MoreI will admit that I've only watched Melrose place a half a dozen times during the entire time it was on, but that was six times too many.How do I describe Melrose Place? Let's start by taking a decent TV show about teens in Beverley Hills (90210) and slowly take it from a family drama and make it into a night time soap. Then take some of the characters from that show and give them there own show.Keep in mind, all the characters are supposed to be starting out on their own, and yet manage to find these GREAT apartments that no one just out of college can afford.Now add in some unbelievable, yet totally predictable plot lines, some bad acting. And there you have Melrose place. In order to figure out what any character would do on the show, just think of the dumbest thing someone could do in that given situation and that's what's going to happen! I can think of much better ways to spend my time, thank you!
... View MoreWith 4 episodes of Melrose Place being aired on syndication lately, I have become hooked. I watched Melrose Place in my apartment in 1997 and it drew me in then. Now, with a family, I still find that being true, even though I've NEVER been into soap operas. I started watching one episode, and that was the end of it for me. One of the things I enjoy about this show is that I love yuppies. Having been one in the past myself (then kids came into the picture) I love people on the fast track. The other thing is that the show actually shows the characters spending a significant time at WORK - imagine that. That's hard to find in a show...much less a soap.As far as the characters go...I LOVE Josie Bissetts wardrobe - what a beauty! If only I had the courage to hack off my long, dark tresses for that neat, tailored look. However, Jane is a little unforgiving and does have a mean streak in her own way, in spite of that perfectly applied makeup. At least we know that knockouts also can be cheated on! I was shocked to see that she was cheated on by Kimberly...very pretty but hardly a comparison. I loved Kimberly's confident straightforwardness.Laura Leighton is gorgeous. I was never into redheads but she takes the cake. What a doll - transparent innocence and sex appeal in one - a hard combination to beat. She easily became my favorite on the show and I looked forward to her scenes.Michael Mancini keeps my attention...what a hottie!! That sniveling jerk is so gorgeous, no wonder woman fall at his feet in spite of the creep that he's proven himself to be! An actually GOOD doctor, we see him at work in spite of his many 'troubles'. I'll never forget the episode where he blackmailed Amanda into getting his job back by tape recording their conversation, threatening to play it to Dr. Burns (Jack Wagner). That was very intelligent...and too sneaky. The man has no morals.Heather Locklear is a woman who has ALWAYS fascinated me. Such strength,, beauty and poise...in ANY role she has played. I love how she stays so composed no matter what's happening. No screaming, yelling, just a confidence that she can handle it. I'd be honored to look like her at that age. The other character who stood out, who I started out liking but ended up not loving too much, is Allison. I love Courtney-Thorne Smith due to her PETA involvement, but her character became whiny and not so nice. She cheats on Billy and leaves him at the altar, then has the nerve to get upset when he pursues a new love interest? I didn't like that at all and her alcohol addiction didn't do much to help only b/c she became so MEAN!!Who else? Jack Wagner was very mature and sexy, and I loved his character too. He was perfect for Amanda and I know he had genuine feelings for her. What a confident doctor deserving of his 'position' on the show!So, watch this...in spite of it's cheap thrills. It isn't the deepest material, but what soap is? Also, reality is stranger than fiction and there's a good possibity that scenes just like in Melrose Place occur all over the world. In any event, you'll find yourself being drawn in once you understand who's who on the show (believe me it does NOT take long) and you'll look at your own life and absolutely LOVE it! :)
