Cruel Intentions 3 [HD]

Big Suprise.
I like everyone else thought that the first Cruel Intentions was genius and that nothing could top it. When I saw the pathetic second installment, I just reminded myself that it was a shot down pilot for the spin-off TV show "Manchester Prep" which never made it to FOX television, surprisingly enough. So then, I was like, "Oh, that's why it sucked". What made it worse is that they actually had identical dialogue from the first movie. How creative. When I was picking out DVDs on Columbia House (no plug intended) I spotted Cruel Intentions 3. I was like "they made a 3???" I saw Kerr Smith on the front and I was like "Ok, Kerr, I trust that you won't let me down seeing that you were excellent on Dawson's Creek (not intended to be a plug for TBS either), so I bought the movie. WOW!! Was I surprised. This movie is almost more twisted than the first one. Kristina Anapau as Cassidy is even better than Sarah Michelle Gellar's Kathryn, which is one difficult...

Builds Off the First, Ignores the Second, Add New Direction
First there was Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos De Laclos. Then there was Dangerous Liaisons in 1988. This was followed by Valmont in 1989. We then had Cruel Intentions in 1999 which moved the story to high school age. This was followed by a retelling in Cruel Intentions 2 that should just be ignored. Then there was the mega epic Les Liaisons Dangereuses in 2003 (more than 3 hours). Finally we have Cruel Intentions 3 (2004) that acts as a direct sequel to Cruel Intentions by adding a cousin and then sets the tale at a very bizarre college.

Cassidy is a cousin of the characters from the first movie. She and tease-object Jason like to play games. The games start quick and fast as it almost seems like everyone is out to do in someone else. There is no virginal target in this one. That has been replaced with a faithful target (but definitely not a virgin). Oddly, she is the target of a third character named Patrick. Eventually the games of Cassidy, Jason, and...

There's A Third?
First there was the Cruel Intentions with Sarah Michelle, Ryan, and Reese. Then came prequel Cruel Intentions 2 with two fairly unknown actors. Now there is Cruel Intentions 3. Cruel Intentions 3 is about Cassidy, Jason, and Patrick. They love to play games with other people for their own amusement. The film begins with a bet between Jason Argyle played by the beautiful Kerr Smith and Patrick Bales played by the handsome Nathan Wetherington. They want to see who can be the first one to bed the woman of each's choice. Later they compete for Cassidy Merteuil played by the stunning Kristina Anapau. There is more characters in this film whose relationships intertwine throughout and the sex is more intense than the first(expect about 6 or so scenes). Shot in sunny California instead of New York, helps give the film its own 'feel'. It does a good job of trying to be original and creative from both previous films. The story is entertaining and definately much better than the second...
