Lorelei Lee has co-written “Cherry,” the first mainstream movie about the porn industry written by a porn performer.

Today’s porn fans will put up with a lot for their three minutes of satisfaction 40 times a day: but never try to tell them that it’s easy to get a job.

“If my tits are what get me in the door, then good for me. Because once I get in the door, they see that I am a good actress and that I take my work seriously.”

There are several reasons why “El Topo” can’t be a porn parody, chief among them that there are no roles for Kagney Linn Karter

At no point in the movie “I’m Good At Freaky,” which premieres Thursday night at the Los Feliz 3, is the title character identified as iconic record producer/convicted murderer Phil Spector. But what about that hair? I talked with “Freaky” director/coproducer Roy Karch, who finished filming the movie in April, just as Spector’s jury pondered [...]

Others may feel differently, but this was the most shocking thing I ever saw in a movie aimed at my then demographic: Molly Ringwald’s stunt crotch from 1985′s “The Breakfast Club.” (The second most arresting cinematic moment came a year later when Isabella Rosselini said “Hit me, Jeffrey.”) Iconic 80′s director John Hughes died of [...]

Several years ago Tina Tyler demanded I watch “The Doom Generation.” “Watch ‘The Doom Generation,’ Grams,” she said. “Why?” I said. “Just. It’s. Rose McGowan,” she said, becoming incoherent. “You’ll. Water! Thank me.” Rose McGowan is a dream I’d never want to wake up from, so I didn’t watch the movie until last night when, [...]

Owing to my foreign spawning and nurturement, my picture of Southern California was partially painted by movies like “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” “Repo Man,” “Swingers,” and “Heat,” each featuring (I realized later) small groups of lonely people moving across a sun-blighted landscape. The characters often mistook pleasure for happiness, and the physical distances of [...]

Self-hating Asian Wayne Hentai, writing on Asian Juicebox.com, hipped me to the fact that the 1976 socio-erotic thriller In the Realm of the Senses has been released in a Criterion edition.In the Realm of the Senses did for kitchen utensils what Last Tango in Paris did for butter, and Hentai describes the movie as “the [...]

“Look,” director Adam Rifkin’s 2007 film about the prevalence of security cameras and their use in capturing the interwoven stories of, among other people, hot teens discussing asshole bleaching, is getting some great viral marketing for its May 5 DVD release, including a stunt involving the U.S. Post Office. The marketing tells us that there [...]

CHATSWORTH, Calif. — Adult movie revenues might be down, but California’s porn industry isn’t throwing in the cum rag in its quest to adapt the 2009 Academy Award Best Picture nominees for XXX audiences. “We’re very excited about this year’s lineup,” said Loup Perch-Tounge, president of the Porn Valley Mainstream Adaptation Guild, the body behind [...]

Billed (innacurately, but who cares?) as the world’s first “green movie,” Sex Galaxy is more like Woody Allen’s Zelig by way of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 and What’s Up, Tiger Lily?, a film comprised of recycled and repurposed archival and documentary footage augmented by wraparound scenes featuring Puma Swede as “Willa,” a tasty future being [...]

“Try not to hate the world as it goes about its business; remember: it’s you who is the freak.” When I first moved to Los Angeles from Bogue Chitto and got a job (five years ago next month) at AVN, I remember sitting in my Hollywood apartment watching one of the 60 or so porn [...]
