The Porn Star Who Loved Art Flicks
Filed under: Fandom », Newsstand », Movie Marketing », Trailers and Clips »
I catch The Rotten Tomatoes Show pretty much every week, especially now that co-host Ellen Fox and I are officially engaged (but don't tell her; it's a surprise), and I'm always on the lookout for the best clips to share with you guys. Recently The RT Show had actress / cyber-smut starlet / attractive female Sasha Grey pop up to share her top five films, what with her 'legit' debut just hitting the scene recently. (It's Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience, and I'm still looking forward to checking it out.)So I'm guessing the producers of The RT Show were expecting a fairly standard list of favorite flicks from Ms. Grey. Maybe something like Pretty Woman or The Sixth Sense or (aha) Boogie Nights ... but Sasha is clearly a very discerning gal, and it sure seems like her tastes run towards the indie, the foreign, and the artsy. I won't ruin the surprises, but embedded below is a porn star who not only adores Cassavetes, Breillat, and Herzog, but she speaks about them well enough to prove she's not faking it! (I hate porn stars who fake it.) And then, just to add a little tweak to the list, her #1 pick is so cool, it made me want to ... give Sasha Grey a nice big kiss. On the cheek. Her face's cheek. Honest.
Watch This! Premiere Episode of 'Rotten Tomatoes' TV!
Filed under: New Releases », Box Office », Trailers and Clips »
Welcome to a Saturday, which is when much of the blog-world slows down a bit and takes it easy. (Plus we don't get a whole lot of fresh movie news on most Saturdays.) So that's a perfect excuse to settle in for a 25-minute excerpt from the inaugural episode of The Rotten Tomatoes Show. Broadcast on Current TV (Thursday, 10:30), the show is hosted by Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox. No, neither of them are film critics, but they're both pretty quick, smart, and amusing. Plus neither of 'em claims to be a film critic.Not so much a traditional review show as it is a weekly hodge-podge (this blog astutely compares it to shows like Best Week Ever), The RT Show looks to be a lot of snarky fun for the movie geeks. As the hosts wander through three films (Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, Echelon Conspiracy, and Crossing Over), they solicit various opinions from comics, bloggers, and normal-joe internet readers. Plus there's a very funny diversion into the topic of video game movies, a surprisingly deep* look at "conspiracy thrillers," and a lot of random little tidbits that movie nuts will dig. (Xanadu!!?!?!)
And since I'm watching this episode as I (sloooooowly) write this piece, I can offer the following opinions: A) Wow, that was a dead-on tag-team evisceration of Crossing Over, B) Ellen Fox is really cute, C) the hosts actually offer some cinematic insights that are ... insightful. More than I can say for some other televised "film critics." Enjoy!
