SAD but rejoiceful
16 December 2012
Warning: Spoilers
As much as I could relate to the anguish of our lead character and everyone around him who just seem to irritate him and cramp his style, the film was on the whole sad. Maybe it's too much to expect that a comedic film might have a few lines that actually make you laugh.

My favorite scene was after his gig at the college in Utica. He walks into his room at the cheap motel and starts jumping on his bed. He's thrilled that he actually just got paid to do a show. He's on his way to attaining his dreams however humble they may be. I considered that the films only rejoiceful moment.

The actress playing his agent was a highlight. Any scene with her put a smile on my face.

In any case This American Life is incredible and I am looking forward to any films that they may produce in the future. Sleepwalk is a good start.

Showgirls (1995)

Camp Extravaganza
25 June 2002
People who don't get the camp joy of this film would make lousy friends for me. When I lived in New York a few years back you had to pass the test. Either you worshipped SHOWGIRLS and understood or you were SQUARE. Insufferably influenced by movie reviews and negative hype.

Gina Gershon Kicks ass big time and is gorgeous to look at. Elizabeth B. broke out of her t.v. goody goody mold. Lesbian tongue kissing, exaggerated pool screwing, bitchy lines, ice cubes on nipples, and all set in Vegas, what more could you want from a film?
