Good trash, bad trash



Ok. Enough for the French intellectual movies. I wanted to see trash. Sexy trash. And here are the two movies I saw: Basic Instinct 2 and "Poison Ivy 3:the New Seduction".
The first one I saw on DVD, embarrasing to rent, but what the hell. In this one, Catherine(Sharon Stone) decides to destroy the life of a psychaitrist in order to write a novel, which is downright strange, why not simply write the novel? Anyway, she kills a bunch of people and you can see the "twist" ending a mile away. Sharon Stone looks good and she has fun with the character. But the movie is not really too interesting or too sexy. In terms of trash, its bad trash, because it fails to do one thing trashy movies should do: entertain the hell out of you.

Great trash? "Poison Ivy 3". I love this movie. It's on cable every month so someone else out there is loving it too. Too sexy for words Jaime Pressly plays the daughter of a housekeeper. Years ago(there are layers to this!) the housekeeper had an affair with the owner of the house and was fired when the owner's wife found out. So here comes Jaime to invade the house of the people who wronged her mother! Will she seduce the owner of the house? Yes. Will she destroy the life of everyone in the family? Seduce the daughter's boyfriend? turn him into a drug addict? are there lesbian undertones? yes, yes, yes and yes!!!This is great trash that makes you talk back to the screen. This is true entertainment.

Anyway..I will watch a couple of Truffaut films to get rid of the guilt. Unless...there's Poison Ivy 4 on cable.

oh guilty pleasures!!!!

cuantas neuronas perdiste en el proceso?. shame shame shame on you. sexy trash? just admit you watched them for the babes! and god admit you wanted another leg crossing!!!...me muero de la risa, pero bueno, yo admito que por un rato de 'sana" diversion me chupe "the beastmaster 2" (la primera no te niego me fascina) y por puro morbo estoy que quiero alquilar la 3 y encima, para rematar mi verguenza, mi "sana diversion" (que tiene nombre y apellido: marc singer y unos abdominales listos para jugar ajedrez, muy intelectual yo) se extendio a una semana completita de la serie "V" (6 dvds por ambos lados my friend) mas el trauma que me produjo darme cuenta que si, esa serie termino siendo una soberana porqueria (y yo con 300 y pico de neuronas menos)...

mea culpa...

Me temo que las escenas de sexo son bastante flojas y que Sharon Stone no ensena tanto como en la primera. La pelicula simplemente no es sexy.
