Watch Sex and Death 101 For Free

Nice effects though.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It's a very bad sign when you watch a movie and in the middle of it you ask yourself whether it's a parody or the director is really serious. This is exactly what happened to me while watching 'S&D 101'. We have seen the white room with the men in white costumes receiving message from the Forces so many time - so it must be a parody. Then you have this list of the 101 women that the hero of the movie will sleep with until death, or until he falls in lover, or maybe until he gets bored until he bored us to death. But then some serious romance seems to develop. Until the Big Love falls and breaks her neck like in a silent comedy, but we are supposed to be sorry, so it's maybe a tragedy. Or a parody?? One way or the other, I got very confused about what this film is about and what it tries to be. A romantic comedy? An erotic fantasy? A thriller with a touch of 'Matrix'? I think that I know what it is - it is a failure that becomes boring after a few minutes of watching and keeps being so despite the amount of beautiful women and the neat film-making. The principal reason of this failure is that not only the premises of the film are non-credible, but so are almost every dialog and relation that is brought on this screen. Which does not improve at all my appreciation for director Daniel Walters who was also the screen writer.To avoid!

The movie title smacks of Woody Allen's earlier works, but conveying a different message for a changed time: With the waning of the Freudian parlance, the story is not about the dialectical interplay between Eros and Thanatos, but a comment on philandering and maturing. When a marrying man Roderick Blank (Simon Baker) learns from a list of destiny that he will have sex with 101 women in his lifetime, and his fiancée is only the 29th, he cancels the wedding and looks for the women on the list. The 101st turns out to be a serial killer, Death Nell (Wynona Ryder), but it takes little guess to tell that the last one on the list is the one he will marry. In a twisted way, it is a "family values" sermon, as the number 101 has a sophomoric ring to it, reminiscent of a serial number of a college-level introductory course. Matching the men's philandering is the women's turning into man-killing by the liberated sex—in spite of all the Sex and the City bravado, women do feel being molested big time, a sentiment that maketh the heroine a serial man-killer. Only when the scoring man (he is also lost) settles down with the enraged woman are both parties placated. The solution is so simple: old-fashioned, pre-sexual liberation marriage—and with kid.

There is a lot of swearing and there are a lot of sex scenes. So I wouldn't want to watch this with my teenage kids or my parents. However the swearing is in tune with the film and so is the sex so it isn't out of place at all.I enjoyed this film. I didn't see any plot holes - just unexplained moments - but then what in real life is totally explainable? Every day we live with technology and social systems and people who we cannot explain - so why should a film not be allowed a little of this uncertainty? As long as the entirety of the film makes sense - and this one really does.The acting was believable and the characters likable. I usually dislike the male leads who flit from one woman to the next, but this lead character was very sympathetic.I felt so sorry for him as he realised he simply could not escape his fate. There were some very funny surprises along the way as well.Poor man!! Winona Ryder turns up throughout the film as a parallel storyline as a mysterious killer. She is the dark counter play to the lighter male storyline.I see this film as a story about how good people can be swallowed up by bad experiences and fate, but that how in the end true optimism and kindness will win out.It is a lovely film to watch if you want some laughs, and a gentle but interesting and surprising storyline.Not for prudes though.

"Sex and Death 101" tries to be so many things at the same: a romantic flick, a dark comedy, a mystery-drama and a highly philosophical movie in the vein of "Matrix" (even including a white room where existential questions are discussed). Well, as I've said in the headline, the movie definitely does have its intriguing moments and there are quite a few meaningful lines in the script.However, "Sex and Death 101" is too volatile to really be successful in any of the genres it touches. The story takes a thousand twists and turns. It's too cynical to be romantic, too shallow to be profound and too erratic to blow your mind. Characters are introduced and forgotten about in 10 minute-intervals and all of the main characters' friends just kind of disappear at the end, when Winona Ryder's character finally comes into the picture. Make no mistake, Ryder doesn't play a huge role in the whole movie. Her character seems awfully constructed and forced into the script. When the whole story is finally resolved it doesn't really make sense and leaves you totally uncertain of what the hell it was you just saw."Sex and Death 101" isn't the worst movie you could rent, but it's certainly pretty strange. I don't even know whom to recommend this to. Fans of Winona Ryder will not be happy with the little amount of screen time she gets. Friends of romcoms will find fault with both, the amount of rom and of com in this. To enjoy "Sex and Death 101" you probably just have to accept the fact that you don't know what you're gonna get. And, hey, that's kind of what the movie is about, too, I guess.
