Just went to the Houston premiere last week and I have to say I was really impressed. Though it is definitely an indie, lower budget movie, I found myself captivated by Cherry Bomb's story and characters.
Aside from one obvious reason to see this movie - Cherry - her and some other key characters did a great job of selling the plot and grabbing the audience. I felt genuinely vested in Cherry's plan for revenge and scared of the mysterious and ominous hit-man "The Bull," who had a really cool Pulp fiction vibe about him.
The film work was well done, and the music really added to the mood of the scene, be it suspenseful or action-packed. One of my favorite clips is the opening montage showcasing the Pussy Hut, which sets the pace for the movie by delivering smoke-infused, raunchy stripping, a nasty, growling guitar riff and some tactful, tasteful (.)(.)s
In all seriousness, I thought it was a cool movie and I'm glad I got to be a part of the Houston premiere. It was well-received by the rest of the crowd at Alamos that night, and I'm sure it will continue to impress new viewers.
