Liquid A$$ets - Movie Review:
Walter Sear’s XXX take on Mel Brooks’ classic The Producers is… odd. Even by the standards of vintage adult cinema, this one stands out as genuinely strange – how many other ‘sexy’ movies open with a scene where a horse takes a giant dump on camera? This scene introduces

This woman was Billie, the sister of a middle-aged, high class call girl named Linda Allen (Harmon) who we meet when she arrives from Amsterdam in Los Angeles. Shortly after she sets foot on American soil, a duo of bad dudes attempts to steal her stuffed Snoopy toy! She narrowly escapes with her

Tompkins Square Park, located in the East Village in Manhattan, has long been a sight the locals associate with politics and activism. There were anti-war protests there in the sixties, and in the eighties it became a de facto homeless camp and was ripe with drug problems. In 1988, the cops came in and tried to oust the homeless that were living there. This resulted in a now fairly infamous riot, clips of which did wind up on newscasts around the New York City area. When it was all said and done, between the evening of August 6th and the morning of August 7th, thirty-eight people – homeless and random bystanders alike – were injured in altercations with the NYPD and no police

The Changeling - Movie Review:
Directed by Peter Medak and based on the ‘true story’ of Russell Hunter, who co-wrote the film, 1980’s The Changeling is widely regarded as one of the best American ghost story movies ever made. And with good reason, as it’s a pretty spooky picture ripe with the type of atmosphere and intensity that’s lacking in so many modern CGI-laden cinematic tales of the supernatural.
