Wonderland
I rented Wonderland with Haley last night. I saw it in the theatres last year sometime and it's a crazy movie. Just how some folks like action movies, or some people love romantic comedies... well I'm a sucker for a good drug movie! Wonderland tells the story about the brutal Wonderland Murders in L.A. during the summer of 1981... involving a strung out John Holmes, the veteran porn legend, who some say played a vital role in the slayings. The films sorts through the facts and gives a slanted view of what went down. Haley grew up in the Hollywood Hills right around that time (She was 1 when the murders went down) and that area was always known as a seedy party section of L.A., where you could score anything from grass to mescaline and from coke to heroin. Lisa Kudrow's performance as the estranged wife of John Holmes was amazing. She really showed off her acting chops in this flick. Alas, there was very little sex (I was told this movie was like Boogie Nights) and much more drug use. There was so much cocaine floating around that it was ridiculous! I felt like I needed a couple of days of detox afterwards.
