Yes, I'm an unabashedly, unapologetic die-hard fan of Shannen Doherty. She's gorgeous, and she can ACT. Let's get real, okay? 90210 sucked after she left, and Charmed has followed suit. This movie (which I got a Best Buy for $5.99 on DVD) is a starring vehicle for Shannen. She plays a tabloid journalist on whom the tables get turned, as she becomes the victim of a stalking psycho. Throw in a sexy, but dangerous, bodyguard; a kooky best friend, and some bumbling FBI agents, and you have a packed thriller that's not too violent, vrey unpredictable and FULL OF SHANNEN! BUY BUY BUY!

A great film with great plot twists. Gage (Shannen) is a top paparazzi with two problems - 1) She has a stalker, 2) She becomes involved in a murder. You with me so far? From this point on the film rides like a roller coaster: Con artists, black mail and murder land Gage in a quest to win back her life. The storyline alone makes up for the questionable acting (Shannen Doherty excluded) - .
I have yet to decide if the actors are playing bad acting charactors, or if they are just bad actors, even so, viewers will be to busy drooling at Shannen to notice anyone else.

i can not tell you how much i enjoyed this film
is was magtifical.

The actress has a talent for acting pretty snotty no matter what happens to her character but her brand of snotty is HIGHLY watchable bordering on comedic genius. She always looks like she is clicking her tongue at the morons she has to deal with even when she is sporting terrible down market clothes and wet hair (being on the run and all.) If there were still a soap opera industry, Shannen Doherty could be the next Susan Lucci. She's weirdly mesmerizing as a short angry woman and she still acts like an immature 25 year old. The actress can definitely hold her own sharing the screen with younger, technically more attractive costars. It would be fun to see her in scenes where she's super pissed off. The supporting cast members are oddly styled or just odd looking giving the viewing experience a surreal quality. This is an okay movie if you have absolutely nothing better to do, you have an old friend sitting next to you on the couch who can make jokes at the tv set with you while you do something useful like wrap wontons or you are surfing the web. This is not a rewatchable movie however.

First of all im shannons biggest fan and im going 2 collect all of her movies but 1 thing that striked me on the reveiws is 90120 sucked after she left which is not true tori and jenny were great on there in so was tiffani thisen. so this thing about 90120 sucking well its not it rocked so omg . all though i missed shannon but she got a great movie carreer at of it !

"Striking Poses" has to be one of my very favorite Shannen Doherty movies because it's highly dramatic, fast moving and not one of those typical women's ludicrous bio-TV movies. I just saw this movie the other day on LMN and surprisingly I never heard of it before recently. But I knew it would be great because anything with Shannen always is! "Striking Poses" is also different because it's not exactly a TV movie. It's one of those straight-to-video films that Shannen tended to make during the late 90's. You can tell because Gage (Shannen) used the "f" word at least once during it.

Anyway this is a story of a photographer, Gage who starts getting stalked. It actually was pretty frightening and fierce in some scenes because Shannen was able to capture the essence of her character's turmoil. It was written all over her face. After being scared the night before by a burglar (or a potential stalker?,) the movie starts out with Gage sneaking inside a health club to take some pictures of a celebrity. Personally, I did not like the scene with the "actress" and the drugs because looking at someone doing drugs is in my book just as offensive as hardcore porn or violence. Once Gage got her pictures she runs out, only to find that she's being followed! While on the phone (who knew they had handless cell phones in the 90's!) with her assistant Casey (Tamara Gorski) she is instructed to take the back exit (her assistant apparently had some inside view of the club) and got away from him with only seconds to spare!

Pretty soon Gage hires a security guy to take care of her, Joseph Griffin played Nick Angel. And he sets up an elaborate-looking security system and tried to help put Gage's fears at ease. The rest of the movie is pretty fast moving and somewhat unpredictable. The ending scene in the studio was so over the top because it was just so extreme. When Gage set the place on fire and her stalker was engulfed in flames I couldn't help but think that this was something Bren would have loved to do to Kelly Taylor for stealing Dylan. The question is who's the mouse and who's the cat...?

yep the only reason i bothered to watch this movie was the fact that shannen is in, i love mostly everything she is in, i also agree with what another person said, charmed completely SUCKED after shannen left! i dont watch 90210 so i cant comment there. Anyway onto this movie, Shannen plays Gage Sullivan a papparazi who is being stalked by a dangerous killer. She calls on the help of a bodyguard and from here on things get complicated. This is a pretty good movie, many twists and turns and it is almost impossible to predict the ending. Shannen gives a GREAT performance as per usual. Definetly above average.

This is an auesome movie. She plays a photographer. So when someone starts following her and taking her picture things get deadly. Anyone who likes a good drama is in for a treat.

Doherty played a great role. She was cunning and sly. She exicuted the part with grace and no effort at all. Very different from the Brenda years of her life.
