Reviews
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
This is one of the best BET/Arabesque movies made. Fire and Ices Tells the story of Holly Aimes(Lark Voorhies from Saved by the bell) and Michael Williams ( Kadeem Hardison from A Different World and The Crow:The TV Series) who fall in love in the wake of a scandal that has Holly the daughter of a California Congressman ( A different World Alumi Glynn Turman). This movie features not only a great cast but also excellent writing and acting.

I'm seening Kadeem Hardison in a new light. I always thought of him as the goofy guy on A Different World, but now, WHOOAA he is a MAN. He was soo good in that movie I watched it everytime they aired it and I even recorded it too. I don't know what it is that changed but he's one of he sexiest guys I've seen.
I enjoyed the movie so much that I called friends and family to see if they watched it.Those that had seen it, had the same question I had. What is the name of the song and who sang it during the love scene with Kadeem and Lark.
The movie Fire and Ice was well written and the plot was straight to the point.I really enjoyed it and would like to see again. Thank you so much, Msrozz
