  • The film

    The film was very outstanding despite the NC-17 rating and disturbing scenes. In reality things like this do happen and that is why this movie shows a lot of it. It all starts with Maya (Rosario Dawson in superb performance) whose recently started attending college has everything going well for her. She meets Jared (Chad Faust in a terrific performance) at a frat party who turns out to be a real gentleman and sweet. He invites her out to dinner. They look at the stars from a bridge and they end going to his apartment. They talk and takes her to the basement were they become flirtatious with each other. She tries to put an end to it, but he rapes her. This incident scars her. She goes to a club meets a bartender/DJ Adrian (greatfully played by Marcus Patrick) who sees that she is getting to drunk and helps before she goes to far. They strike a friendship. He also does drugs and Maya starts using as well. In other words introduces her to a different world. She starts going back to school and working as TA (Teaching Assistant) and spots Jared as one of the students. While the students are taking a Midterm, she catches Jared cheating. Jared tries to smooth talk Maya, but she still has the upper hand decides to invite him to her place. Will history repeat itself? Or Will Maya have a surprise for Jared? You watch the movie. Excellent A. Rosario Dawson portrays the role with focus and endurance. Chad Faust does not like he can be a rapist, but he does a terrific job as Jared. Marcus Patrick is very brilliant the man who saves Maya and coaches her into a new world. This film deserves an award.

  • Marvellous piece of emotional entertainment

    Everything about the film gives a meaning to what it is like in the music even when their emotions involved. Mariah Carey in her debut performance did a splendid job. Max Keebler really gives a unique performance as her boyfriend/manager who tries to keep her from being dangerously exploited. Throughout the entire film it really shows how much fame a person can handle even when it comes not to leave others who genuinely have support for them. This should remain a great masterpiece for a musical film. Vondie-Curtis Hall rules. Keep up the good work. I give this film an A+.

  • Somewhat Peachy/ Excellent

    At the beginning of this film I noticed that title itself was part of the reason that I watched it. The first the story was about a young man(Ed Begley j.r.) whose auto mobile is stolen, but he later purchases another vehicle that is possessed.

    The second story is about a doctor (Patrick Macnee) who takes care of a patient who has a brush with death. However to his assumption he believes that a vampire was responsible for the problem of his patient. He soon invites an old friend (Horst Bucholz). He drugs him and pits falsely accuses him of being a vampire which leads him to have a stake driven through his heart.

    The final story is about a mother (Anjanette Comer) whose son Bobby (Lee Montgomery) accidently drowns in a lake but she makes a pact to have her son come back from the dead. He is revived, but he is not the child that he used to be.

    The first story was kinda off, the second story was merely confusing, and the third story was very frightening.
