Welcome everyone. This blog mainly exists as a way of tracking all the movies I've been watching and some of the initial thoughts and general feelings I've had about them.

Rating System

5/5 - Fantastic movies; movies which need to be seen and enjoyed by everyone.

4/5 - Movies which are very good but don’t have that spark which compels you to make others watch them as well.

3/5 - Average movies; watchable and enjoyable, but nothing which elevates them higher. The baseline all movies are given before watching.

2/5 - Can be watched but really bland and forgettable.

1/5 - Minimal to no reason to watch these films. It may have some redeeming factors e.g. it’s so bad it’s good or there’s one character that’s awesome enough to make it not a total waste of time.

0/5- Total waste of time. Nothing redeemable about these films.

As with every review blog/site, this is all my own personal opinion so feel free to take everything with a grain of salt.

Also I'm Scottish so all reviews will be in UK English. Get used to theatre, colour and words ending in -ised.

#370/#87 Women in Trouble
A selection of insights into the interconnected lives of two porn actresses, Electra Luxx (Carla Gugino) and Holly Rocket (Adrianne Palicki), and a branching list of other woman they know, or meet, over the course of one hectic day.
I watched the sequel to this film Electra Luxx (review here) about a year ago not knowing it was a sequel. It was trashy, silly and overall just a fun watch so I thought I’d give this one a go as well. Give me a chance to see where the characters originated and fill in some of the back story.
I’d say both films are about on par with one another. Luxx was maybe a bit better overall, with a more interesting roster of characters, but they both have a slightly disjointed charm to them. Holly Rocket and the flight attendant Cora (Marley Shelton) make a bit more sense overall now.
I’ll be interested to see the final part of this trilogy whenever it does come out. 2.5/5.
P.S. The funniest section of the entire movie happens during the credit sequence between Luxx, Rocket and a porn blogger played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Great character moments all round in the last few minutes.
