This Girl's Life Reviews:
I ordered this but it never came and it's been over 2 years!!!
2009-11-18 - I think the subject line covers it. I ordered it. It never showed up. What more can I say?



Expect Skinemax not an insightful indie.
2009-10-04 - I picked up this flick from the recomendation of an educated female friend of mine. We were discussing the fact that since pornography is purely exploitive by nature it is immune from exploitation and therefore might be the last "pure" art in America ( in very limited examples). She recomended this film for it's take on the subject. Suffice to say this movie doesn't do or say anything that others haven't. It's got the eye candy and James Woods channeling Michael J Fox (too soon?) but is ultimately disappointing in it's pacing, dialogue, and content. As I understand it this is Juliet Marquis's (a model from the Czech Republic I think) breakout role. She handles her part well; I personally could see her as the next Mila Jovovich B+ horror movie staple. In any case, if you're curious rent it then there's no shame in hitting stop early.

More Juliette
2009-07-18 - This was a really good movie,it was more about her personal life than her job as a pornstar. The movie made a good turn in the middle when she became something like a private investigator. I would've liked to see more Rosario but she was in a few parts. Cheyenne Silver did a good job with her role as well,she has the talent to make it in the mainstream film business. The ending was...okay.

This Girl's Life
2009-02-07 - This Girl's Life is about a Moon (Juliette Marquis), an
internet porn star. The story revisits different stages of her
life and the events that have impacted the person that she
had become. Moon doesn't see herself as one of the "sad
stories" that you often hear about porn stars. But, in
reality, her life is a lot like what you hear, coming from a
broken home, and using sex to deal with the difficulties of
her life.

Despite Moon being a well known porn star whose daily
norms includes dealing with the hustle of the adult
entertainment business, she manages to have a very
sensitive and soft side that makes her very likeable. She
lives with her father (James Woods), who is terminally ill
and suffers from Parkinson's disease. Her love and
dedication to care for her father shows a side of Moon that
makes her more human as she copes with the challenges
of caring for a parent who is ill.

Moon puts porn on pause after being asked to test the
faithfulness of a friend's fiancé by playing femme fatale .
Moon soon starts her own sex intelligence business.
Moon learns the business quickly as she had done with
the porn business, but also learns a very difficult lesson
that causes her to question the path she choose for
herself.

This film shows an introspective view of the life of a porn
actress and the evolution that her life takes through
events in her life.

The film also gives a realist view of the porn industry. For
example, explicit nudity, realistic sex scenes, and full
frontal scenes of both men and women. But the film also
shows the harsh reality that many porn actresses try to
camouflage, like drug use behind the scenes, pressure to
do scenes that are not comfortable, and being exploited
by directors and producers all in the name of the almighty
dollar.

Writer/director Ash did a good job in showing the life of a
porn actress in front of and behind the scenes as while as
the personal life reality and everyday obstacles that they
face as human beings. But the story kinda lost its eroticism
towards the middle, and became a series of events
towards the end of the movie.

I also wanted to see more of Rosario Dawson in the movie.
She played a small role and played more of a supportive
and intelligent type friend to Moon; she did not have any
nudity or sex scenes in the movie.

Newcomer, Juliette Marquis did an awesome job in playing
the role of Moon. I look forward to seeing more from her in
the near future.

James Wood, as expected, did a great job in playing his
character role of a man who suffers from Parkinson's
disease.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie and would recommend the
movie to anyone over 21.


Four stars out of five.

Not all pron is bad
2007-11-11 - It was an interesting view that not all porn is bad and not all porn stars are druggies and abused kids. The premiss that porn in and of itself is not bad but the way its made and how the unhealthy enviornment of most porn is bad. If some how it could be made a more 'main stream' industry it could be a healthy(er) and cleaner way of making a living. The downside of the movie they leave it at that, no hard suggestions of how, hints of more female directors and producers, but just small hints of how. All in all a good movie, better then others I have seen similar to this one.
