Boogie Nights Is A Cure For Insomnia

To be truthful I ordered this film, because I had heard it was roughly based on the life of porn star John Holmes. I doubt there is much about Holmes in this movie, but I can't say for sure, because it is so boring I fell asleep a couple of times.

Burt Reynolds won his Oscar for this performance, but I can't imagine how. I can think of several actors who would have been as good as Burt, and many that would probably have been better, because the role doesn't demand much of an actor.

Mark Wahlberg was good as the young man in the movie, but he's been much better in several other movies.

Save your money. You've been warned. I rate this movie s-s-s-s-s! November 11, 2008

BORED ME ALMOST TO TEARS

Wow. I guess you had to have lived this time period to appreciate this movie because Boogie Nights bored me to death. I couldn't wait for it to be over. Perhaps I'm a product of my generation where great porn is easily accessible on-line 24/7 or perhaps I'm just jaded altogether, but this movie wasn't even campy to me; it was just too long and too dull. Good performances by William H. Macy and Juliann Moore but that's about it. The story is about a young guy who is supposedly "gifted" (wtf?) who makes it big in the porn industry during the disco era. When a new recruit is added to the porn line-up, Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg) gets jealous, loses it and gets fired, blah blah blah.

The final shot mentioned by almost all the other reviewers is almost comical. The thought of deer sausage in intestinal casing crossed my mind. It might have been an erotic shot if Dirk Diggler's "gift" had been alive instead of dead. And, I've been fortunate to have been presented with much bigger "gifts" in my life, wink-wink, nudge-nudge.

This movie is probably one for the old folks who lived the disco era. I don't recommend it to anyone born after that time period because you'll probably be bored like I was. October 31, 2008

The Goodfella's of Porn....

Excellent flick, it can be watched about once a year without losing it's power. I wish PT would have explored AIDS along with the rampant drug abuse, but it's already a 3 hours movie. Breakout performances for Mark Wahlberg, Heather Graham, and probably Don Cheadle.

This movie belongs in everyone film buff's library.
