Movie Reviews
First 25 mins was good, but then...
Showtime and the Movie Channel got it all wrong
As a documentary this was okay. As a step back into adult videos this movie was awesome. There was a nice balance of fact, conjecture, and good ole gratuitous nudity to keep it interesting. After all, this was about porn. However, what this show was not about, was the description offered by Showtime and TMC. I quote from TMC "The porn addition epidemic is examined, including teenage cellphone users and an oil executive." There was absolutely no oil exec, no teenage cellphone use, or porn addition anywhere in the show. There was however a show about an epidemic, just not the one they described. The HIV epidemic in the porn industry was the main focus of this documentary, and the acknowledgment of patient zero, Marc Wallice.
