	Poison Ivy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Poison Ivy is a very attractive red-headed woman with green eyes (belonging likely to Celtic ancestry) who is obsessed with plants, botany and botanical toxicology as well as environmentalism and sees herself as one of "the world's most prominent eco-terrorists" (quote Gotham Girls).
		Poison Ivy recently came to believe that her powers were killing the children she looked after, so she got Batman to reverse her powers and make her a normal human being once more.
		Evidence for this is her ability to control what sort of poison her lips secrete (she has used types that were deadly, caused unconsciousness, created hallucinations, and put people under hypnotic control) and the fact that her skin is treated as toxic at some times, and harmless at others.

	AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of Poison Ivy
		This is a very long way of saying that, although it certainly moved Barrymore from cute kid to sex symbol, ‘Poison Ivy’ is not sexploitation film its reputation (and sequels) might suggest.
		For Coop’s sick mother Georgie, Ivy is an attentive surrogate daughter who is not embarrassed or threatened by another’s illness; for father Darryl, the newcomer is balm for his aging male ego and a source of increasing temptation.
		Ivy has wavy blonde hair and sports stick-on tattoos of crosses on her thighs that billow as she swings like Tarzan on a rope over a ravine.

	Poison Ivy - Ken Seaton D.Sc. - HealthWorld Online
		Poison ivy emits invisible oil which actually dyes the skin a color that cannot be seen, this compound is one of the hardest substances to remove from anything.
		Poison oak is in the same family as poison ivy and is usually a bush.
		Because poison ivy is basically an autoimmune reaction, severe damage to the skin and other organs through the body that contain the protein keratin can result.

		I highly suggest that you try and rent this film, just be sure that you get this version and not the earlier television film POISON IVY, which is a totally different film and is also on video cassette.
		POISON IVY is released in two versions, an unrated version (which I believe is the European version) that runs for 93 minutes and contains explicit language, adult situations, and brief female nudity, and an R rated version that runs for 91 minutes and, I believe, is missing the scene of brief female nudity.
		POISON IVY was released in the theaters back in March or May of 1992 when I was in New York, but was unable to see it at that time.

	‘Poison Ivy’ (R)
		This fragile, symbiotic friendship between the two girls is the best part of the movie; it's also the purest part, and the only place where the film is driven more by the fresh spirit of its characters than by its hand-me-down thriller plot.
		Soon, it's clear Ivy is completely amoral, perhaps even psychotic, and that her goal is not merely to be the daughter the mother never had, but to become the mother, right down to her clothes, her car and her husband.
		Ivy, as it turns out, is just as much a loner as Cooper, and once they meet they instantly become best friends.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Poison Ivy Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Though on one level "Poison Ivy" is little more than salacious exploitation, on another it's almost a campy spoof of soap operas in general.
		Yet, at the same time the film is so earnest, so deadly serious and so filled to the brim with artsy touches by co-screenwriter/direc-tor Katt Shea, that any humor — intentional or unintentional — is soon drowned out by the overall heavy-handedness.
		In the film's early scenes, Sylvie observes Ivy from afar, then meets her when they both get into trouble at school.

	Poison Ivy: How to Prevent Reactions
		Poison ivy is common in the Midwest and eastern U.S. It may appear as a woody, ropelike vine, a shrub that grows on the ground, or a freestanding shrub.
		The characteristic poison ivy lesion is a linear vesicle, highlighting the area where urushiol streaked across the skin as the victim pushed through the undergrowth.
		Poison ivy and its cousins can look quite different from each other, and different poison ivy plants from one part of the U.S. versus another may not bear a strong resemblance to one another.

	Commercial Products - Viewer Suggestions for treating Poison Ivy, Oak, Sumac - (www.poisonivy.us)
		About 15 percent of the 120 million Americans who are allergic to poison oak, poison ivy, and poison sumac are so highly sensitive that they break out in a rash and begin to swell in 4 to 12 hours instead of the normal 24 to 48.
		I don't know how bad his poison ivy was at camp, but my husband who gets very bad poison ivy reactions all the time used the Ivy Off after he noticed a rash on his leg after mowing the lawn.
		I recently caught poison ivy and I tried ivarest by blistex but that didn't ease the itching for 8 hours (like the package says) and the tone color basically looked like pink calamine lotion which isn't so great when your at work.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Poison Ivy (xhtml)
		Watching "Poison Ivy," I began imagining Sara Gilbert as Ivy, and Drew Barrymore as Cooper.
		Ivy sees an opening, and begins to play all three family members against one another, so cleverly each one believes she can be trusted.
		One day she phones in a bomb threat to the TV station where her dad (Tom Skerritt) is the boss; that catches Ivy's attention, and the two girls become fast friends.

	Film traces ordeal of displaced gardener - The Clarion-Ledger
		Wrapped in a mouthful of poison ivy leaves was a sampling of everything that plants would mean to him in years to come: protection, freedom, release, hope.
		As a boy, he'd get poison ivy a lot, probably from the dog, until an old woman made him eat it — the poison ivy, that is.
		He became a renowned gardener who was forced to leave his greatest creation to die, a story so compelling to one Jackson filmmaker that she made a documentary about it.

	Amazon.com: Poison Ivy 2: Lily (1995) : Video
		A friend of mine recently lent me her 1995 film Poison Ivy 2: Lily on DVD with the recommendation that it was good on a so-bad-it's good level.
		For a film that advertises itself as soft-core porn, it is sorely lacking in the sex and nudity departments and features instead some of the worst scenes and acting around.
		The film is a sequel (in name only for the most part) to the 1992 cult classic that starred a decidedly very sexy & 17 year old Drew Barrymore in the lethal nymphette role of Ivy.

	Batman and Robin
		Now Uma's portrayal of Poison Ivy is beautiful, I was captivated by her on screen presence and almost felt as if her mystical spells were being cast on me instead of Batman and Robin.
		The Batman franchises as well as most big summer film's are never short on the effects, in fact that is one of the aspects that they are known for.
		Freeze was the result of an industrial accident ant Poison Ivy took shape from a botched murder attempt.

	AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of Poison Ivy 3
		Of the three ‘Poison Ivy’ films, ‘Seduction’ perhaps succeeds best at working as soft-core porn, with sex scenes in Chapters 2, 8, 11 and 13.
		The sound on ‘Poison Ivy: The New Seduction’ is unexceptional, lacking even the usual genre accoutrements of gunshots or screeching tires.
		(In one of the film’s shrewder moves, the young actress cast as Ivy – played by Drew Barrymore in the first film – bears a remarkable resemblance to Barrymore as a child, though of course Barrymore herself doesn’t appear here.) The sexual entanglements of their parents split the girls up for over a decade.

	Film Reviews - Poison Ivy
		Erotic as a pile of outsize underpants and as tense as a soggy rice pudding, Poison Ivy is a forgettable film, memorable only for its at times well-shot scenery, but ultimately for its poor performances and weak storyline.
		Poison Ivy has great aspirations of being a Hitchcockian version of Fatal Attraction.
		Although Drew Barrymore is well cast as the Lolita-like teen temptress, she forgets along the way to put a bit of acting into her role, going through the whole film pouting, flashing her legs and doing little else.

	Spirituality & Health: Movie Review: Poison Ivy
		This film directed by Katt Shea is one of the scariest portraits of a soul murderer since the classic 1968 film Pretty Poison starring Tuesday Weld.
		Poison Ivy is a sinister and savvy psychodrama that is mesmerizing from start to finish.
		Drew Barrymore gives a riveting performance as a teenage outsider who decides to manipulate a wealthy family for her own benefit.

	Heavy Weather Hits Gotham City - page 4
		Prior to her transformation into Poison Ivy, Uma Thurman's character works as an assistant to a mad scientist (John Glover) in a tented lab deep in the Amazonian jungle.
		The action in these films is so large that these characters have got to stand out; you don't have much time to squint for their expressions.
		On this film, even more than the last one, we had to get the point quickly, so perhaps the lighting is a bit less subtle on the characters.

		A veteran conniver like Ivy should have been able to hand her friend a convincing enough line even in the heat of a very stressful moment.The biggest problem with a film like POISON IVY is that it hints that it's going to reveal the dark corners of the human heart in a knowing way.

	DVDFILE.COM: Poison Ivy review
		The film also resorts to that stupid plot contrivance of "the long lost diary," even though never in the first film did Ivy ever commit her thoughts or paper (or read and write anything, for that matter).
		The return of child-star-from-hell Drew Barrymore was the main attraction for the film at the time, and she doesn't waste a second of her big comeback despite all that baby fat.
		The first Poison Ivy in particular is striking, especially since past transfers were oversaturated, a bit noisy and too dark.

		Ivy has a shallow, albeit stubborn, root sytem and once the green material is eliminated, the roots almost dissolve, and can be tilled under.

	The Drew Barrymore Collective Forums -> Poison Ivy
		Ivy is a poisonous character who seduces everyone in the film (including the dog).
		Watching her performance in Poison Ivy however makes you want her to return to that kind of role even if its a one off to proove that she can still be convinicng playing a nasty piece of work.
		Thought I'd add for those who haven't seen the film, there is a scene involving Drew and Skerritt that explains why sCinimax airs it late at night when the kids should be asleep in their beds.

	VH1.com : Movies : Movie : Poison Ivy II: Lily : Plot
		Poison Ivy II: Lily was the follow-up to 1992's Poison Ivy, though the original film's director (Katt Shea), screenwriters (Melissa Goddard and Andy Ruben), producer Peter Morgan, and star (Drew Barrymore) all declined to participate in this production.
		Ivy may be gone, but her legacy lives on (and that's not necessarily a good thing) in this sexy thriller.
		Lily begins remaking herself in Ivy's image and engages in passionate affairs with both Donald and Gredin, but Lily doesn't realize until it's too late that her powers of erotic manipulation can have terrible consequences.

		Movie: The second film in the Poison Ivy Trilogy, Poison Ivy 2: Lily, may not be as good as the first installment, but fans of the genre will find this worth their time.
		Video: Poison Ivy 2: Lily is presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, with the option for full screen also available.
		As you can imagine, Poison Ivy 2 is a soft core sex movie, so audio is not really the focus.

		The key to recognizing poison ivy (or oak/sumac) is not to count the leaves (3,5,7,etc), but to look at the leaf at the very end of the branch.
		He's so allergic to poison ivy that he can't even eat mangos or cashews (both in the same family as poison ivy).
		I have read that poison ivy has been spread through smoke while burning it and also on top of flood waters if you wade through.

		My only complaint is that they gave her such a small part in "Batman and Robin." Alicia Silverstone only became Batgirl at the end of the film.
