The Price of Pleasure: Pornography, Sexuality & Relationships (2008)
B.S. Hierarchical feminism at its finest!
As someone who likes a solid documentary that provides an objective look at both sides of the argument, and a lover of those kinds of films, as well as women in general, I can honestly say this propo-mentary of steaming crap is just that...crap. I saw a preview version of this documentary earlier today, and it annoyed me so much I had to spill my woman hating/degrading guts about it. Or so this flick would have have you think that's what my guts are made of, being a red-blooded male who played high-school sports, lost his virginity at 16, and fell in love for a couple years with another amazing woman.
I love porn, and if you're a guy reading this, you at least LIKE porn. Stop denying it to the chick sitting next to you...STOP IT! Being single for a while now (like a WHILE NOW!), and being a good looking, testosterone-filled 23 year old with an education, I have to wonder. I must wonder what kind of people, in the year 2009 (2008 and probably 07 and 06 in which the film was made) would make a film like this.
If you don't know anything about the porn industry, and you don't know much about women, and finally you know nothing about the human condition and the basic business model then this movie is just right for you! It will have you thinking like a generally ignorant, pseudo-lesbian, farrrr right conservative in no time! There are a lot of elements that make a good documentary, and this film has none of them, short of an above average soundtrack. The "facts" are way off base (to the tune of Farenheit 9/11 times 2), the content is grossly mis-represented, and the message preaches occurrence of abuse. There are so many positive things about expressing all forms of sexuality, kinky and/or degrading or not. Stating that women are degrading themselves in porn is just as much a fantasy as the most degrading porn.
For every role or situation a pornography director/producer creates, a talent is there to fill the role. After an AIDS test every thirty days or less, a meet and greet, a discussion of what the scene will be like, an agreement on price, a personal agreement between 2 or more performers and a director on what is on/off limits, a 3hr+ wait time to set up a shoot, it is sad that a willing woman is obviously forced into these acts for money /sarcasm

The Sopranos (1999)
Incredible writing...
I had to write something down about The Sopranos, the series is just too good to not voice an opinion.
I never was big into mob movies, although like any sane person with a slightly large ego, I was into the classics like The Godfather, Scarface, and more recently Goodfellas. Having intermittently watched The Sopranos on HBO during seasons 3 and/or 4, I can honestly say that the series must be viewed in its' entirety to appreciate the depth and themes involved with the storytelling process used in this TV series. It is an incredible feat of writing mastery, not without its minor flaws, and I can say that I will be closely following the future work of Chase, Winter and Van Patten, as well as others involved in the show.
Do yourself a favor and WATCH THE SOPRANOS, from start to finish with the DVDs if possible. Simply one of the best TV series ever, with statements on love, loss, business, and tradition with plenty of popcorn facts thrown in the mix. If I sound like I'm kissing a** its because I am, bravo!
