    'The Girl Next Door'...

    ...OK... I admit it... I really like this film...

    I watched it again last night and it's a really nice film. It almost sort of has a feel good factor like a John Hughes film.
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Wow, total randomness with the movie selection, but I have to admit that I like this film (and picked it up previously viewed some time ago). I find it to be a fun, low-cal flick with what's-her-name providing some awesome eye candy.

    Plus, the protagonist and the young turk/ antagonist/ jackass porn producer are played by two actors I actually enjoy watching on screen.

    Which one? There are several films with that title. I'm assuming you're refering to this one: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0265208/

    If so, yeah....I like it. Very funny, imo.

    Count me in, I've got it on DVD.

    It's derivative of Risky Business, no doubt ... but it's still fun, entertaining and indeed ... nice.

    Plus, Cuthbert is a right nice piece of arse...and Olyphant (the spikey haired, low budget porn producer) is entertaining to watch (and much better with hair, he just looks silly as bald-headed Agent 47 in Hitman, geez ) ... anyway, a good fun flick and Emile Hirsch is certainly one to watch for the future - just watch Into The Wild and you'll see what I mean.

    Isn't there an unrated version? Not quite sure they had to go there as it's not really an 'American Pie' sort of film. It's mainly a romance at heart, not really teenage titillation...

    Aye, I've got the unrated ... not sure how much difference there is either, but meh...

    Cuthbert is proper fit when she's at that door and says "can I come in, I'm all wet..." HELL YES YOU CAN!

    p2501 - why on earth did you like Hitman? He talks all the time, basically never uses his trademark fibre wires, and blows everything up really loudly ... in that movie he's the worst Silent Assassin known to man.
