Boogie Nights Review
by Serdar Yegulalp
I love movies that dive into a universe of their own and examine it exhaustively. There's a short but growing list of American movies that work like that, which Roger Ebert once called "experimental epics": THE GODFATHER, THE RIGHT STUFF, GOODFELLAS,...more

Boogie Nights Review

One way of telling if a film is good or not is by the length. If a film is only 90 minutes, but feels like 300 minutes, then it's crap. But if a film last 2 1/2 hours, and feels like 90 minutes, then it's excellent. Boogie Nights falls into the latter...more

Believe it or not, in life and in the movies, a 13-inch penis will only go so far. If it happens to be attached to you, you ultimately might decide it's more trouble than it's worth. Just look at what happens to Eddie Adams in *Boogie Nights*. more

It is hard to imagine today, but in the late 1970's, porno movies were actually a lot like regular movies. They were shot on film and shown in theaters. Marquees and posters advertised the latest X-rated flicks in blatant view of motorists on the...more

Like PULP FICTION, this is an intelligent epic of the tasteless, a movie that makes sweeping points about our society and has likeable people doing reprehensible things. Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, BOOGIE NIGHTS forgoes the...more
Boogie Nights Review

Aside from a fleeting glimpse of a sign reading "2nd Annual Adult Film Awards," the trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights does not offer a single clue of its porn-industry setting. This might seem misleading, but in skirting the provocative...more
