Late nineteenth century Cuba. Dawn. At the docks, Luis (Antonio Banderas) waits for his American mail-order bride. But, his wait seems to be in vain. Then, magically, she appears--Julia (Angelina Jolie). And, she is beautiful, unlike the woman whose picture she sent. But Luis had lied as well--he wrote that he was only a clerk in the coffee company that he actually owns. In spite of their deceptions, they marry immediately. They are blissfully happy, although Julia has her demons. She has nightmares, she ignores her sister's letters, and--mysteriously--won't open her trunk. Her sister sends an unnerving detective to check that she arrived. Still unsatisfied, her sister arrives herself. That's when Julia disappears with the money in Luis's bank accounts, instantaneously transforming Luis's dream into a nightmare. <br> <br> Scriptwriter/director Michael Cristofer explores sexual obsession and deception in ORIGINAL SIN. The sumptuous thriller, based on Cornell Woolrich's classic noir novel, has elegant, lu... Less

It was inevitable that THE DUKES OF HAZZARD would leap onto the big screen, and now, thanks to Broken Lizard's Jay Chandrasekhar (SUPER TROOPERS, CLUB DREAD), it finally has. Slipping into the boots made famous by John Schneider and Tom Wopat, Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville play moonshine-selling cousins, Bo and Luke Duke. Along with their ridiculously gorgeous cousin Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and joke-telling Uncle Jessie (Willie Nelson), the Duke boys love to get the goat of Hazzard County's most crooked law enforcement officials, including Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane (M.C. Gainey) and county commissioner Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds). But when they discover that Boss Hogg is using his leverage to run them off their farm in order to turn Hazzard County into a strip mine for coal, things get personal. With the help of their faithful friends, Bo and Luke set off on their riskiest adventure yet. <br> <br> Showing his reverence for the classic 1980s show, Chandrasekhar incorporates freeze-frames, humoro...

Pros
Angelina Jolie gets naked. Convincing story, held my interest
Cons
If it were another hour longer, directors could have tied up loose ends
Recommended it?
Yes
I went to Original Sin for one shallow reason, I wished to see boobs on the big screen, and not just any boobs, but the breasts of Tomb Raider's own Angelina Jolie.
Call my original sin oogling or something, but not coveting my neighbors wife, as Billy Bob Thornton doesn't live near me.

Pros
JOLIE IS NAKED. The movie is pretty good too.
Cons
Too racy for some.
Recommended it?
Yes
Original Sin is bound to be the underrated bomb of the summer. The film has nothing about it that will make it a blockbuster or a classic. It is however the very definition of a 'guilty pleasure.' It's so racy, dirty, and jaunty, not to mention a great looking film, that I couldn't help but adore...

The family members always seemed to escape...

Pros
Fun and entertaining for the most part
Cons
Characters weren't right and some parts seemed miscast.
Recommended it?
Yes
When I was growing up, I watched The Dukes of Hazzard all the time until the show was cancelled. I can’t remember when I first heard that a movie based on the show was going to be made. Since I had liked the show so much I did figure I would go see the movie. After learning who some of the actors...
