Club Wild Side

This is another in a long line of 90's soft-porn flicks. Typical story line with a young naive Wisconsonite girl eager to see a little bit of the world (i.e.: sex) before marrying her boyfriend. Stays in L.A. with a producer friend of the family and his wife, who sleep with everyone except each other. Fortunately, there are half-decent sex scenes every two minutes because the plot line is terrible. There are other films of this genre that are better.

...but memorable because it includes an actor I actually recognize! James Horan is, by these types of movies' standards, Lawrence Olivier. He's given some decent performances on stuff like Highlander and various Star Treks, so it's kind of amusing, if mildly depressing, watching him degrade himself here. Okay, yeah, there's a plot. Horan's character and his wife are fighting, he's having an affair with a movie reviewer while trying to do his "masterpiece" film, and their guest decides to enjoy the wonders of stripping. But watching Horan is really the only enjoyment to be found here.

This movie is quite marginal. I'm a big Monique Parent fan and go crazy every time I see her in a movie. She has a small supporting role in this one, as owner of Club Wild Side. The older woman (she's not that old, maybe 24-29) in this flick has some of the brightest blue eyes I've ever seen, not to mention she's absolutely gorgeous. It has the formula-laden story of a farm girl coming to southern CA to see her relatives, and let's her inhibitions go out the door when she performs as a stripper at Club Wild Side. I give it a C-. Monique should have had a bigger role in this movie, since she's supposed to be the owner of the club.

Wow.. That is all I can say.. This has got to be the best plot for a soft-core I have ever seen. I was entertained all the way through. In most full length soft-cores, you get tired of porn after awhile. However, I just didn't find myself getting tired of Laura Palmer. The babe is just too gorgeous. They need more soft cores with better plots. Thumbs up! (Wow.. I just gave a very enthusiastic review for a porno... Maybe I need to go back to watching the Sundance channel for awhile. Hmm...)

I liked the movie Club Wild Side personally. OK, it's erotica and it's light.

I just want to be entertained for an hour. I don't always have to watch gritty things.
