El Asunto

colour me surprised. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. You see these b-grade sex movies on late night cable and you expect soft core porn, bad acting and bad (or non existant) plots.

What I found was one out of three. Yes, it was soft core porn, but not too gratuitious. It had a plot. It had characters. I'm not saying this is American Beauty or anything, but for what it was I quite enjoyed it.

As I was watching, it occurred to me that this is what porn movies should be like. I mean it had naked women, it had plenty of sex, but it also had romance, story and character. If the sex was a bit more graphic, it would have been perfect.

The acting was entirely adequate for what it was. No one is going to win as oscar off this, but they said their lines and had expressions enough to get the point across. Oh yes, and the women were apropriately beautiful and naked.

I really give my thumbs up to the writer and director of this movie for not making a (too) sleazy or cheap piece of trash.

Oh, and one final thing: what was up with the sorority girl selling tickets. Why was she there?
