Four sexy movies to watch instead of 50 Shades of Grey...

So, its true, they've made a movie from the Twilight fan fiction that is 50 Shades of Grey. Here are some old school sexy movies that my friends and I used rent when we had slumber parties when were in high school...yes, I'm that old.

1. Two Moon Junction (1988)

Trashy film starring Sherilyn Fenn from Twin Peaks.
Rich girl hooks up with a bit of rough from a travelling carnival. Lots of sex. Randomly also starred some quite famous, respectable actors including Academy Award winner Louise Fletcher.
There was a straight to video sequel called Return to Two Moon Junction, starring Melinda Clarke, in which I worked in the wardrobe department.
Not as good as the orginal.





2. 9 1/2 Weeks

Starring Kim Bassinger and Mickey Rourke before his face got messed and up he was still sexy and dangerous.
The title is how long their kinky and sometimes abusive sexual relationship lasted before she leaves him when he starts to get controlling and jealous. Sex with food. Sex in the rain in an alley. Sex in public. Cross dressing (her). Lots of sex.

3. Sex Lies and Videotapes (1989)

This is Steven Soderbergh's first film. It's about sexy people; James Spader (who is also in another film on this list), Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings & a Funeral), Peter Gallagher (sexy eyebrows) and Laura San Giacomo (Pretty Woman) talking about sex and having sex with each other.






4. Secretary (2002)
This is what an actual BSDM relationship is like...not 50 Shades of an Abusive Relationship. It stars James Spader as a lawyer who has a very interesting relationship with his secretary, Maggie Gyllenhaal. Very sexy movie.

Robin Williams R.I.P.

I was born in the 70's and grew up in the 80's, so Robin Williams has always been in my life in some way. Starting with Mork and Mindy and Happy Days on T.V.
I keep trying to pick my favorite Robin Williams movie or scene and I can't choose just one, that's why I'm writing this blog. There are too many moments, too many memories that are engrained in our minds, that are part of our collective histories.

Why you should keep reading...

I love movies. I was a total geek in high school and didn't go to many parties until my junior/senior year. I mostly stayed at home on the weekends and watched movies on televison. My favorite movie channels were AMC (American Movie Classics), TBS, Bravo (before it just showed reality t.v., it showed mostly independent & foreign films), FX (which was the Fox movie channel), the USA channel and TNT. My home town, Temecula, also had a couple really good video rental places that actually had some quite obscure movies.
I've also worked for three movie theaters, two multiplexes in the States and a two screen art house cinema in London. I also worked as the video/DVD buyer at a Virgin Megastore back in the 90's. And I have a Bachelor's Degree in Film.
So basically, my movie tastes were influenced by the combination of classics, horror and B-movies on TBS and USA, independent films and made for t.v. movies on FX. Now I live in London and get the amazing Film4 channel, the BBC channels and subscribe to LoveFilm. There's also lots of different cinemas from chains to art houses and second run.
I'll mostly be writing about those types of films, though I do like the random 'big budget main stream Hollywood' movie too.
I am the rarely seen female film geek.
