This film has talent and a great sense of humor and style. I don't plan to watch it again with friends like I might other movies, but I have watched it twice and enjoyed it more the second time. As the synopsis states, adult star character Vick Velour, whose real name is Andy, has a mental breakdown and needs a rest. His parents, the fabulous Barry Corbin and the irrepressible Beth Grant, take him to their retirement community to chill out. While recovering, he is befriended by two of the male residents and also meets Heather Burns. The cast of this movie contains a lot of talent and everyone is just right for their role, including Graham Greene. My selling point is Johnny Whitworth and Heather Burns. I think they have exceptional likeability and genuine chemistry. If you are into types, Johnny is totally a Dermot Mulroney type; laid back, understated, and looking to avoid being noticed. Andy is able to use his experience to help some of the community members, and starts being real with Heather's character Betsy. That's the kind of movie it is, the love interests' names are Andy and Betsy, and at one point they go square dancing together. No great dramatic scenes here, just an affirmation of honesty, accountability, and humility. I suggest you wach at least until Andy walks down the street in his green velour suit, hat, and glasses. His 2011 Ray Bans made me visit the company website.

I think that without assuming too much I can say that someone at GGW thought they could get some business off of men watching the superbowl by staging their own halftime PPV special. The selling point is that the GGW team brings a bunch of girls to some private location set up with different obstacles and "American Gladiator" type challenges and they form two teams which compete against each other. If you want to pad your review, you point out that instead of just filming random girls in New Orleans or spring break locations, GGW is investing time and resources in an effort to bring some Playboy channel-type structure to their oeuvre :) I don't think it's exactly a spoiler if I say that the girls are naked during most of the show. The DVD has an added feature in that one of the female hosts gives a topless interview while sitting at a pool with the male reporters, and she is certainly nice to look at.

This wonderful dance short mixes high quality live action dancing with excellently conceived and executed animation backgrounds. The basic story is that a ballerina collapses from fatigue/exhaustion and we follow her dream that follows. There are about four acts/sections which have their own flavor of dancing and music. I don't remember who the ballerina is anymore, she was well known and respected in her day. The score is lush and romantic, and fully supports and leads the motion on screen. I have never seen a better dance film, and will always treasure my memory of this one. I hope it shows up somewhere online or on DVD someday, I can't find it anywhere.

Since no one else had written a review, I wanted to take the chance to recommend this to anyone who might enjoy this unusual (to me) video. The personal adventures of two girls who were friends in high school and are re-united five years later are chronicled here in this well-directed attempt to combine serious eroticism with serious storytelling. There is a lot of sex throughout the film, but it sets it in the context of friendship and competition surrounding the two women, and achieves a high degree of good fiction: the lives of certain people in a certain time. The director captures the frenzy of passionate love-making, but also the beautiful stillness when passion has played out. With a varied and interesting soundtrack this plays like a higher budget movie than I expected.

First things: I am one of the last people to comment on this movie, but i also was the one who put up a plot summary and synopsis so that other people can get an idea of the story. All of the previous slams on technical terms are basically true. This is not a finished picture like a Sandler, Ferrell, or Scheider flick. I don't waste my time on those guys. This is a story movie first, and an acting/directing movie second. There are no guns or car chases, and it starts off somewhat slowly. This is a story about a tired old man who loves a woman back to life, and a greedy Harvard doctor who falls from glory and needs to re-order his priorities. It also has some nice piano music in the soundtrack, and as mentioned, a good supporting cast. Yeah, it's a love it/hate it movie. You'll just have to find out for yourself. All I can say is that it keeps showing up enough on my channel guide that someone else somewhere believes in it enough to program it.
