Intimate Nights (1998)

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Admirable film.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Intimate Nights is a film worth watching. J.Cynthia Brooks is very sexy as a stripper who has witnessed a murder and who MUST be guarded day and night by the police. She and the male police detective who watches her in the evenings are becoming attracted to each other as this woman's life is in constant jeopardy.The police detective also has a fiancée played by Kim Yates(she is a waitress in this film in a unique bit of reverse casting ),but the romance between she and her fiancée/police detective is put into a romantic limbo because the stripper and the detective do fall in love. This is not a surprising film,but it is ALWAYS A FUN MOVIE TO WATCH. It has murder,sex,romance,drama and beautiful women...always an enjoyable combination when done in a style like this film serves it up to be.This writer recommends this picture to anyone who wants to see an erotic thriller.For a fun adult evening this is not to be missed.BRAD gives this film a 7.

Average on the sex factor soft core porn flick with hot blonde women, each on their own. Kim Yates deserved the leading role because of her beauty and sexual attraction but she's a secondary character. Don't worry, she still has sex scenes.The leading actress is kind of old for these movies but she's hot anyways and demonstrates she knows how to turn on the audience. Her sex scenes are very hot mainly because her body is perfect. She's taken from behind on several scenes; don't think that the same scene keeps getting repeated.To be honest, this movie has not so attractive women (expect for Mrs. Yates). The lead actress is hot but not the typical woman for this erotic flicks. There is also a very tall blonde woman who isn't very sexy, but has "something" that makes her look attractive.The sex scenes look very real and are decent overalL. Some scenes are in slow motion. Give this one a try if it airs on cable.

Intimate Nights is a movie that seems to have been composed by some smart people. And while I applaud them for at least telling the man-made babes that they won't be needed, the film makers still drop the ball.J. Cynthia Brooks is Tina Tudor, one of the hottest exotic dancers in the U.S. One day, Tina witnesses her kindly club owner Leo get murdered by gangsters. She gets police protection because they need her to identify the killer (Collin Bernsen, yes Corbin's brother!) She is in the protection of two detectives, one of whom, played by Chris Johnston just got his promotion. This young man is in a bit of a pickle; he wants to propose to his girlfriend (Kim Yates) of 10 years, but he is captivated by Miss Tudor. Will he be drawn into her trap?First off, if the film makers wanted a beautiful natural woman to play Tina, they could have brought in the gorgeous Kira Reed, the innocent looking Gabriella Hall, or best of all, the knockout whose name is Jennifer Burton. Hell, imagine Gina Gershon in this film. Instead we get J. Cynthia Brooks, who has the moves but none of the beauty. Imagine an anorexic, uglier Kathie Lee Gifford as the woman men want to pay to see do a striptease. I guess alcohol consumption or women with visible rib cages are big in the U.S.Second, some horrible acting is in the offing. Jim Stevens, who plays the other detective, tries to be Sonny Crockett. I was waiting for Ricardo Tubbs to come with him on his rounds. LoriDawn Messuri, who plays his wife and shares the only good "philisophical discussion" scenes, overacts badly, delivering horrible Shakespeare filled with profanities. Brooks is awful, too. Only Johnston, Yates, and Bernsen deliver adequate performances.Also, some poor logic. Since when are club owners nice, kindly, middle-aged men. Why does the city have a lack of people in homicide? How can Johnston and Yates afford such a huge bungalow on their salary?Still, all the flaws made it a decent softie, but it could have been so much better. Oh, well...

Despite the comments below I thought this to be an excellent entry into the soft core erotica genre. The women are sexy, although not gorgeous, the men are quite good (unusual for this type of film), and the plot and acting are all decent. Besides, any film that has Kim Yates in it is by definition worth seeing.
