Breaking It… A Story About Virgins 1984

Breaking It… A Story About Virgins 1984
1h 22min | Adult , Comedy | Video 1984
Storyline:
A narrator shows the first sexual experience of various people, from a teenage boy's encounter with an older woman to a high school student's seduction of her teacher.
User review:
What the title suggests is being broken here refers to a girl's maidenhead, more commonly described as her virginity. That's right, sports fans, well before long-running (try interminable) video series like CHERRY POPPERS popularized the matter there was already an entire movie out there devoted to this subject, treated with all the cavalier carnality one would expect the adult industry to attribute to such a pivotal event in a young woman's life. Seriously though, this proves one of the better latter-day efforts from film-making duo Svetlana and David Frazer, a furtive final flicker in the wake of the euphoria of their Ginger Lynn Hawaiian movies (SURRENDER IN PARADISE being first among equals) as they hit the downward slope by milking their BAD GIRLS franchise for all it was worth, interspersed with direly over-plotted nonsense like ANOTHER ROLL IN THE HAY. As adult "auteurs", they had all but invented the girlie show, vehicles almost solely intended to show off brand-new starlets, and by the mid-'80s they had it down to a science.
Following an utterly believable pre-credits deflowering of perky Bunny Bleu by her equally blond and just as inexperienced beau Shone Taylor (who played Sharon Kelly's son in Kirdy Stevens' TABOO V), future filmmaker Paul Thomas narrates this series of quite literal "coming of age" vignettes, assisted by his cute and as of yet unspoiled niece Roxanne Rollan, best remembered for Frazer and Svetlana's PINK LAGOON. He will have her out of her clothes and on her back for the flick's climax. First up is the notorious Traci Lords, Ms. Underage Porn herself, glowing with pubescent health before hair and make-up lacquered her into semi-android super-stardom. She's a high school honey with the hots for sex ed teacher John Leslie who initially resists yet ultimately buckles under pressure. Her dad Jamie Gillis gets to do the honors with his daughter's classmate "Nancy Rivers", actually Penthouse Pet Jody Swafford who made a handful of adult features – including Bill Milling's glossy ALL American GIRLS II – changing moniker on every occasion. By whatever name you call her, she's quite a stunner with that white lacy dress uncovering tanned perfection in a scorching scene that nicely builds from tentative tenderness to full throttle passion.

dik 2011

dik 2011
10min | Short , Comedy , Drama | 9 April 2011 (Australia)
Storyline:
A concerned father of a six year old takes it the wrong way.
User review:
This short film is about a father discovering his six year old son who writes about 'dik'.
In just the space of ten minutes (and that includes the credits), "dik" manages to take the viewers through a plethora of intense dramas. From a boy proclaiming to like 'dik', to the parents' revelation of experimentation, then more hell breaks loose and the situation becomes irretrievably damaged. "dik" is fast paced, quick witted, and very entertaining. I just could not stop laughing as one can of worms is opened after another. There are so many surprises and jokes, that every second of it is entertaining. And the ending is so good, but I will not spoil it here. It really amazes me to see that so much drama can be packed into ten minutes. Watch it if you have the chance.

Max und Moritz Reloaded 2005

Max und Moritz Reloaded 2005
1h 27min | Action , Comedy | 28 April 2005 (Germany)
User review:
Max und Moritz reloaded is an old story by Wilhelm Busch about two really mean brats that torture their environment and are force the tortured ones to respond. The reloaded film reinterprets the age old story in a present days German setting.
In Germany, when this film was released, the critics were not at all euphoric about it, and as far as I can tell, they were successful in keeping the crowd out of the theatres. Shame on them! This film is a hilarious farce, telling the story of two Hamburg brats, their alcoholic mother, a devoted social worker Paula (also the wet dream of the two boys) who are sent to an Eastern German boot camp. This boot camp is managed by two gay former army guys, and in a way they get to get along with each other. Of course, this takes some time, and lots of adventures are there to entertain you. But there is also the bordello master Hanne, and he gives the two boys a really hard time. Be excited to see the end of the film and what happens to Hanne and Max und Moritz! Max und Moritz reloaded is wonderfully not pc, sparkling with fine ideas, clear cut characters and a stunning rhythm. Action is followed by mind bending landscape shots, and then it goes boom again. Interspersed is the film with occasional cartoon sequences (perfect: the hilarious Paula on ice piece), and there are lots of songs integrated, also in a very nice manner. If you are a fan of justifying delight in entertainment you might even say there are some social dimensions of German life today to be found. But this does not do the film justice. It is an entertainment piece, and I think it does one thing: entertain you at its best (if you like trashy stuff).
The cast is generally good or excellent, you can see that everyone must have liked what they were doing. The most disturbing and mind-shaking appearances are by Ben Becker, who does an unbelievable job at acting as a sugar daddy. This must become a classic.
I can only hope that the DVD is as successful as this film deserves. Unfortunately, the market for trashy comedies in Germany might not be ready for this film yet (still). Everyone who thought that Goddbye Lenin was a little too slow and boring should like this film. Or maybe it simply is the film that Schlingensief simply does not know how to do? Try for yourself, sit back, relax, and be entertained! For friends of directors like Wenzel Storch and Christoph Schlingensief. For friends of films like "Frau Rettich, die Czerny und ich", "Komm süßer Tod", "Muttertag" by Roland Düringer.

Motion Picture Rating (MPAA)
Rated R for some violence and language
User review:
"Beneath the Darkness" was a great movie in some ways, but also a somewhat mediocre movie in others. It was like taking a trip back to the late 1980's or early 1990's story-wise. Personally I found the story a little bit too far fetched for my liking, as I didn't think that any rational and sane person would return to the house after seeing a friend killed. But hey, wouldn't be much of a movie if they didn't, eh?

User review:
I am absolutely disgusted by the pro-pedophilia message woven into the body-acceptance messages in this movie! The main story line, is of a pedophile who goes to a human trafficker to purchase a blind girl child for sex because his wife has just had a baby and he fears he will molest it. He ends up leaving his wife and child for fear of one day molesting his son, but when the boy grows up he ends up killing himself in an attempt to become sexually attractive to his father and the father is left with carrying the grief that his son would still be alive if he had just molested him….. SICK!!! I cannot believe that NetFlix is putting this garbage out…

LA Plays Itself 1972

LA Plays Itself 1972
51min | Adult , Drama | April 1972 (USA)
Storyline:
The film opens on a shot of the "Los Angeles City Limits" sign. It then cuts to Fred Halsted taking a walk in the forest and coming upon a man sunning himself in the nude. They briefly talk and end up having passionate sex in the wilderness only to be interrupted by bulldozers destroying the wildlife area in order to build a new suburb. The film suddenly switches to inner city Los Angeles as Halsted and a man from Texas discuss in voice over the problems with modern society and the dishonesty of most people. This is inter-cut with shots of hustlers, bums, vagrants, porn theaters and shops, as well as footage of a man (presumably the Texan) being brutally tortured by Halsted. Eventually the man is bound and left helpless in a closet, a symbol of the violent and trapping nature of Los Angeles. The film ends on shots of newspapers saying that a young man was found dead after being tortured.
User review:
Fred Halsted spurted onto the gay porn scene just as the genre was gathering momentum as well as a modicum of "real world" respectability. The year was 1972 and groundbreaking adult movies like Gerard Damiano's THROAT and MISS JONES and the Mitchell Brothers' decidedly different GREEN DOOR had instigated the all too short-lived "Porno Chic" trend on the straight end of a budding skin flick industry. With his homo hardcore harbinger BOYS IN THE SAND, Broadway choreographer turned erotic "auteur" Wakefield Poole actually preceded what was to become known as the genre's Big Three by facilitating his film's first screenings in late '71. In truth, Halsted beat them all to the punch, or indeed might have if endless delays and difficulties hadn't kept him from finishing his still astonishing first work a full four (!) years after initial shooting had begun as early as 1968. Staking out his position in a slowly filling market place, he brought a downbeat West Coast sensibility to counteract the idealized imaginings of such early East Coast alumni like Poole and Jack Deveau.
It's impossible to discuss the life and work of Fred Halsted without taking into account his longtime lover Joseph "Joey" Yale, a down on his luck stage performer who attempted porn on a lark – not uncommon in those days among out of work thespians – and stuck around as the director's live-in lover and business partner in their production and distribution company Cosco until his AIDS-related death in 1986. Three years later, Fred would take his own life, overdosing on sleeping pills, even though at least one source (The Leather Journal) claimed he had shot himself through the head instead. His oft-cited suicide note read : "I had a good life. I've had looks, a body, money, success and artistic triumphs. I've had the love of my life. I see no reason to go on." May they both rest in peace…

Dear Mr. Gacy 2010 UNRATED

Dear Mr. Gacy 2010 UNRATED
R | 1h 43min | Crime , Drama , Thriller | 11 May 2010 (Canada)
Storyline:
1993. Overachieving college student Jason Moss, fascinated by serial crime, decides to write his criminology class term paper on John Wayne Gacy, who is on death row and scheduled to be executed in six months time. Jason's criminology professor, Mr. Harris, will only allow Jason to write his paper on Gacy if Jason can come up with a fresh angle, as he himself believes the topic of serial killers is already overexposed. After writing Gacy a nondescript letter and receiving a questionnaire from Gacy in return, Jason believes the fresh angle would be truly to get inside Gacy's head, specifically to learn what makes him tick, by presenting himself in subsequent correspondence to Gacy as Gacy's "type", i.e. a vulnerable young man from a dysfunctional family and thus who is possibly at risk. Despite the advice that he needs to watch out for cunning Gacy, Jason is certain he can outsmart the serial criminal at his own game. Things take an unexpected turn for Jason when he starts receiving telephone calls from Gacy, who was able to find out his number. As Jason feels he has to do further field work based on things that Gacy wants him to report back on, Jason may find that he is not as well equipped emotionally to handle the situation than he first believed, potentially leading to serious consequences both for himself and those around him.

Motion Picture Rating (MPAA)
Rated R for sexual content and language
User review:
"Balls to the Wall" was exactly what I had expected it to be; a rather mediocre comedy. Now, I say mediocre because this movie is conflicted by two main issues. First, there is very little comedy in the movie (that will make me laugh), so that was a disappointment. On the upside, however, was the storyline. It was a brilliant storyline and well executed.

Kill Your Darlings 2013
R | 1h 44min | Biography, Drama , Romance | 19 September 2013 (Croatia)
Storyline:
In the early 1940s, Allen Ginsberg is an English major at Columbia University, only to learn more than he bargained for. Dissatisfied by the orthodox attitudes of the school, Allen finds himself drawn to iconoclastic colleagues like Lucien Carr, William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Together, this gang would explore bold new literary ideas that would challenge the sensibilities of their time as the future Beat Generation. However, for all their creativity, their very appetites and choices lead to more serious transgressions that would mark their lives forever.
Motion Picture Rating (MPAA)
Rated R for sexual content, language, drug use and brief violence
User review:
Director and co-writer (with Austin Bunn) John Krokidas have created an atmospheric visit to the beginnings of one of literary history's great movements – the Beat Generation – and in doing so have carved a fine story that combines not only the rise of the Beats but also examines the slow emergence of recognition of sexual identity crises, in both a positive and a critical manner. Cast with a group of very fine actors and accompanied with musical director Nico Muhly's sensitive score that includes the references to Brahms symphonies and trios and transcriptions of themes along with terrific excerpts from Harlem's jazz scene (courtesy of Dawn Newman as a jazz singer), this film is successful on many levels, not the least of which is the reminder of the permanent impact on American literature and sociology imprinted by the likes of Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and William Burroughs. The very sensitive opening sequence, appreciated only at film's end, sets the dark tone of the film and opens the window to understanding the Beats (also called "the Libertine Circle" by Ginsberg).

User review:
Wonderful film…full of realistic, thought-provoking scenes. Very relatable to our everyday experiences. The film explores themes of moving to a new home, racial challenges, coming of age and confronting one's weaknesses. It offers a nice balance between drama, humor and reality. Recommend it for any age, including young adults, who can relate to the young actors and their characters. The music choices are great; the music enhances the story and the visual. The acting–young and old–was spot on! The characters were so believable, that i fell into the story and wholeheartedly went along for the ride! I highly recommend this film!

User review:
Having seen virtually all of Jose Benazeraf's mainly excellent softcore 1960s movies and a good selection (over a dozen) of his later XXX offerings I was unprepared for this off-the-wall 1974 transitional film. This is one case where the dreaded "auteur's explanation" that accompanies so many wretched DVDs would be helpful.
I will offer my own pet theory, certainly wrong but convincing enough for me. I contend that Jose found the chance to travel to Italy and film an Italian co-production to be an irresistible opportunity to lampoon the then-current trend of Italian cinema to make sexy left-wing film tracts. Not like the Godard tracts of the '60s, but many wonderful and hokey movies that I love, like Ugo Tognazzi fighting the class struggle against Romy Schneider in LA CALIFFA or any of the Bellocchio efforts of the time.

Motion Picture Rating (MPAA)
Rated PG for fantasy violence, intense battle sequences and some frightening images
User review:
The movie follows nothing of the book's plot line. I think someone read like maybe ten chapters of the Eragon book and decided to make the movie. If they decide to make Eldest (The sequel to Eragon) it would be nothing like the book because they have changed too many things in this movie to carry the plot correctly. The plot of the movie shares nothing with the book and the characters (the ones they actually decided to add) share no similarities to the book's idea of them. The storyline used in the movie could have possibly been acceptable if it hadn't had such bad writing. The lines were mediocre and no one other than Brom, Eragon and Saphira had ten lines. Murtagh had like eight or nine lines through the whole movie, Nasuada and Ajihad had like two or three (and Nasuada doesn't say who she is) and Hrothgar had maybe one or two lines. They completely rushed the movie too quickly. Unless you read the book, you have no idea how Eragon learns to use magic and are left in the dark about most things. The actors did the best job they could with the horrid lines they were given to read. The special effects were great except that Saphira isn't supposed to have feathers. What dragon has feathers? Christopher Paolini says like fifty times in the book that Saphira's wings are a thin membrane. Also that Eragon is fifteen, not seventeen. Every problem comes back to the horrid writing. Bottom Line: Could have been a great and timeless movie. Not Lord of the Rings worthy.
