I have thought long and hard about what a bio of mine should include...and all I could think is - Watch the movie, American Courtesans... My life has been filled with hills higher than most can imagine and valleys lower that most survive the sum of which is simply my experience and as I always say....wow, what a ride!
Reviews
About Cherry (2012)
Just had to write a review after reading a few others...
For those of you who are not in the adult industry (I am) and have reviewed this film as not representative of what life is really like in the industry... How do you know? It's like me writing a review about a movie that has a medical theme and saying that it's not accurate because of the experiences I have had with doctors...
There is every type of woman and man in this industry. Most often media portrays us to be drug addicts and low lives. In About Cherry, it is shown that there is not one outcome. The film shows that a woman can make a healthy choice when presented with less favorable situations. All too often we only get to see those whose lives fall about, and thus the film perpetuates the stereotype of the Sex Worker. We are not who you think! I read quite a few of these reviews and I am aware that as soon as a film comes out to show a woman in the sex industry to be strong and come out on top, it gets trashed. The reason being it challenges those stereotypes that people hold on to so very strongly. Not long ago, gays and blacks were portrayed the same way in the media. ie... the villain was always some crazed lesbian or cross dresser. We love to vilify that what we don't understand.
Whether you like the film itself or not, is one thing. But please don't tell me it's not realistic until you've worked 10 to 20 years in the industry and know what your talking about.
Sorry, I know this sounds like a soap box, but it's so very crazy how many people will talk about an issue they know nothing of. I liked About Cherry. If nothing more than for the message. But it was entertaining, honest, and offered up a side of the sex industry that most don't see... and besides, it has Heather Graham in it, how can you go wrong with her?
Looper (2012)
A must see!
Looper is one of two movies that I have seen this year, that I love. The plot, amazing... this idea, new and fresh.... and Joseph Gordon-Levitt does one hell of a job. I found myself not wanting this film to be over, and at the same time, I was on the edge of my seat. Fast paced with many twists the story is one that is hard to predict.
I can't say enough about this film. I watch more films that most, and all too often I can finish the plot before the film is half way done. Not here... A must see, and I have a feeling that Mr. Gordon-Levitt in the not too far off future will be winning awards many will never see. So, if you have a free afternoon or evening, make sure not to miss Looper!
