VHS Movie Reviews of The Girl Next Door (R-Rated Edition)
Movie Review: CREEPY,HAUNTING,DISTURBING.........BRILLIANT!
Summary: 5 Stars
My Amazon friends have been gloating about this for some time
so I finally took out the cash and bought it. It starts off
in present time (2008) which made me think was this a commercial
I fast forward the first minute until I realize that it was indeed
the movie. Flash back to 1958 where we have a 12 year old boy
catching crayfish is introduced to a 16 year old girl Meg.
She is pretty and kind but seems a little sad. Why she is sad
you will have to watch for what this poor girl and her younger
sister went through will break your heart! I have seen TONS
of HORROR and drama movies but not made me feel like this one
angry,hopeless and scared for poor Meg has a SICK TWISTED aunt
named Ruth(played very well by Blanche Baker...I wanted to smash
her face in) who does and has her boys do everything imaginably
AND THAN SOME!!!! To this poor girl Meg. To tell the truth
I was happy for Meg in the end.... This movie is gripping
and worth every penny of the $23.98(OUCH!)I spent.
See this movie for you will not come out of it the same
ever again.

if you like highschool /college comedies this movie is for you! I loved it. Dont rent it buy it. It had a story line that was fun to follow and different from the rest of the teen movies.Movie Review: Great flick
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is full of surprises. There is really never a dull moment, little bit of T and A in this. You might want to curl up to your significant other and have a laugh, sure worth the 90 minutes..Movie Review: Darker than I expected
Summary: 4 Stars
When I picked up this movie, I was thinking it was going to a smutty comedy along the lines of American Pie / Risky Business / Porky's. It turned out to be a bit darker than I expected, with some not so funny parts and some downright grim realities coupled in with it.
Matt is a stereotypical "nice guy" who has an ordinary high school career, not very popular, not very exciting, and a bit on the dull side. One day, a beautiful girl moves in next door and he is smitten. Much to his surprise, he discovers Danielle is a 19 year old former adult film star. That is, she's every horny teenage boy's dream come true. She's running away from the life, and doesn't want anything to do with it anymore. But she's being stalked by ghosts from the past, her manager is looking to make his investment back and he'll stop at nothing to get her back into his movies. Soon he and his friends propose making their own movie to pay him off once and for all, and even offer some of the other popular boys to be in it. They get many offers, and suddenly things are looking up for Matt.
What a movie like this says about our culture cannot possibly be summed up in a review like this. There are so many layers to this. The porn industry, while it seems exciting and glamourous on the outside, is really a horrifying place where women are mislead, abused, and intimidated into preforming. Danielle wants nothing else but to escape, and she's being stalked by the monsters who have lured her in. Matt sees her on one hand as his ultimate object of desire, and ends up falling for her. (Fiction!) Matt seems to be a nice guy, but he seems to hold this porn star girlfriend closer to him for the fact that she's a former porn star and not just "the girl next door".
Perhaps the most telling of events is when they are going to film the porn movie in the library of their school. When they talk the popular boys into doing it, they jump at the chance thinking that it will enhance their status. And the one who seems the biggest and strongest of them all can't preform. Stuck in the situation, Matt at first volonteers to be the one, but he can't do it. He loves Danielle too much to degrade her again. So his friend volonteers (the biggest laugh of the movie, when he appears on camera with the fencing mask on). And I had the best thought of the entire movie when he did that. I just thought "Wow, what a good friend". Perhaps that was the most noble thing of them all.
Movie Review: A Pleasant Surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
I first rented this so that I would just kill some time. I was expecting a silly movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. I had to buy it. The acting is excellent and the ages of the actors is very close to the ages of the characters. This is a teenage movie for adults. It has its crazy moments, but in the end it's a love story.
I'm glad that it didn't do well at the box office. If it did, a sequel would been made.
