Mimi Rogers
Mimi RogersĀ is an American movie actress. Famous for her voluptuous physique (38D-26-36 according to Celebrity Sleuth magazine), she was fully nude for virtually the entire 93 minutes of Full Body Massage (1995), which, for some, remains her most indelible role. Also notable was her revolving nude scene at the age of 48 in The Door in the Floor written by John Irving. As well as her nude roles as an actress, in March 1993 she did a nude layout (and an interview) in Playboy magazine.
Full Body Massage - Mimi Rogers
Mimi Rogers' most extensive film nudity
Granted, the primary reason most people (like me!) are going to purchase this movie is the implication that Mimi Rogers is going to be naked thru most of it. Not to worry, the movie delivers in this aspect. I HATE it when some flicks have the promise of being saturated with nudity, but come to find out there is maybe a grand total of 5 seconds worth in the entire film. That's not the case with this movie.
Rogers has a unique, exotic elegance. Hers' is not the type of beauty that you will find on a bikini poster. Rather, her appearance has a much more serene and mysterious flavor to it. This, combined with the fact that she is middle-aged, give this production a nice mature (not in the sexual sense), almost sophisticated tenor.
The other major character is played by the Australian actor Bryan Brown. He doesn't seem to do too many roles, but he does pop up every now and again. He is a massage therapist who "sits in" for the normal therapist of Rogers' character. His accent is a nice touch, although I did get a bit tired of him pronouncing massage as "mAssage" (with a long A sound).
What is really refreshing about this film, however, is that it truly tells the story about both characters. It also delves into the various aspects, histories and techniques of massage therapy. Instead of being just a film for a male audience, I would argue that it is a borderline date movie. There's a lot more substance to it than you may think. The incidental music is also very fitting, giving the film an overall soft-jazz feel.
The only criticism I have is that Rogers' character only pays the masseuse $100 when its all over. Then, she is told, $100 is too much. That's an absurdly low cost. First, given all of the myriad techniques that he did, he must have been there for hours. I know that $100 won't even get you a HALF hour at some of the most respectable massage parlors. Second, it would cost a whole lot more than that for the masseuse to come & set up shop at your home (which was the case here). Third, given the fact that Roger's character lives in a bona-fide mansion & drives a brand new Mercedes, it is difficult to fathom her inviting bargain-basement massage therapists into her home.
All that aside, this is not just a good erotic movie, but is a genuinely good movie, period. If you're a fan of Mimi Rogers, Bryan Brown and / or full body massages, this one is a can't miss. -- D. Roberts "Hadrian12" (Battle Creek, Michigan United States)
Full Body Massage (PAL Format) [Region 2]
Mimi Rogers' most extensive film nudity
I'm not going to go into the normal aspects of film review for Full Body Massage here because I don't feel they apply. The reason this film is popular is because it contains Mimi Rogers' most extensive film nudity. That is the reason most people will seek it out, rent it, or buy it. Its also the reason the majority will like it. The plot is so confusing and the dialogue so boring and talkative that you may find yourself turning the sound off. Very quickly: Bryan Brown is a masseuse that fills in for rich Mimi's regular guy. The entire movie is one long massage session intercut with flashbacks by both characters concerning their previous relationships. I've told you too much. It simply doesn't matter. The nudity is excellent and Mimi has never done more. I read one review that said she looked "overweight". If that's overweight, keep up the good work. Mimi looks great and is on display throughout the film, that's all most need to know. Forget the plot & script, enjoy the view. -- Brian E. Holloway "B" (Carbondale, IL USA)
I first saw this movie on cable many years ago. After a long
search I finally found it on an imported DVD. Definitely worth
the price ! Aside from the fact that the viewer gets to see
Mimi Rogers nude, Bryan Brown turns in an excellent performance
as the masseur who fills in for Mimi's regular. He explains the
origin of massage as a form of medicine to Mimi, ranging from
the ancients to the Hopi Indians. The film also explores some
of his family roots as well as the woman who apparently taught
him some of the spiritual aspects surrounding massage therapy.
If you're into massage, or even Mimi Rogers, buy this one ! -- Vincent N. Spence "Film Addict" (Glen Burnie, MD, USA)

The Door in the Floor
THE DOOR IN THE FLOOR is a reimagining of part of John Irving's book, A WIDOW FOR ONE YEAR. Ted Cole (Jeff Bridges), a monumentally self-absorbed children's book author, hires a teen age boy named Eddie (Jon Foster) as an assistant for a summer on Long Island. Quite a bit of the book is a coming-of-age story of Eddie's affair with Ted's wife Marion (the excellent Kim Basinger), who is racked with grief over the death of the couple's twin boys. The young daughter Ruth (Elle Fanning) was conceived to "replace" the boys, but Marion cannot emotionally attach to her daughter.
Jeff Bridges, in a monumental performance, takes center stage in the film. Ted orchestrates the summer in order to try to assuage Marion's grief while indulging his appetites in an affair with Mrs Vaughn (Mimi Rogers), a lonely neighbor. Things don't go as planned, and while it while i could describe the turns of the plot at length, suffice it to say that this is a film for adults, about love, loss, parenthood, the male ego, and so much more. Bridges and Basinger both do Oscar caliber work and the final image is indelibly haunting. One of the year's best.....
Also with Bijou Phillips and Donna Murphy.... -- Simon Crowe (Greenville, SC United States)
