Chasing Amy, a review by addicted2dvd

Chasing Amy
Cult comic-book artist Holden (Ben Affleck) falls in love with fellow artist Alyssa (Joey Lauren Adams), only to be thwarted by her sexuality, the disdain of his best friend Banky (Jason Lee), and his own misgivings about himself. Filled with Smith's unique ear for dialogue and insight into relationships, 'Chasing Amy' offers a thoughtful, funny look at how perceptions alter lives, and how obsession and self-doubt skew reality.

My Thoughts:
This was actually my first taste of the work of Kevin Smith. So I really went into this one without knowing what to expect. I must say... I enjoyed it... it was a good romantic comedy. I felt he did a great job at creating characters you can care about. There wasn't a main character in this movie that I didn't enjoy watching one way or the other. I definitely think Kevin Smith is one talented man. Without giving the ending away (as I know of at least 1 person that hasn't seen this yet.).. I will say I left this one with mixed feelings. Mixed feelings that actually surprised me. I actually felt both relief and a bit disappointed.. but at the same time it also felt satisfying. It is hard to explain in order for it to sound right... so I would just leave it at... if you haven't done so yet... watch this movie.

Abigail Leslie is back in town, a review by Jimmy

Title : Abigail Leslie is back in town (1975)

OverviewMy Impression
Excellent movie, but it's not really a surprise since this is a movie directed by Joe Sarno. This one was considered lost for 30 years before it was found found in 2006. As usual with the Sarno's movies this is about the life in a small town and the hidden secret of its residents. A very good cast that proove one time again (not that I really need a proof of that) that the adult performer of the Golden Age were real talented actors. I'm familliar with most of them in there adult and non adult performances and it's always nice to see them. This is an erotic movie (not a xxx) and sadly those movies didn't really have an audience at that time anymore. But give it a chance and I'm sure that you will appreciate the performances of Rebecca Brooke, Sarah Nicholson, Jennifer Welles, Eric Edwards, Jamie Gillis and Sonny Landham. The only deception for me is the fact that Chris Jordan doesn't have a really big role.
