hyped garbage

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I saw this terrific documentary off Showtime the other day about- which is a bit different than your usual porno documentary. Photographer Deborah Anderson takes 16 of the most successful adult film actresses and interviews them, shoots them in some really tasteful/elegant photography, as well as delves into the current state of the adult industry. Some of the actresses include Lisa Ann, Francesca Le, Kayden Kross, Alexis Texas, Belladonna, etc.. I really enjoyed this piece. I liked how Anderson shot the first half the movie in B&W, and then the second half in color- and how everything just sorta lights up and illuminates the back-stories of the stars. As with most docs about the porno industry, not everything is all roses, and the film does go into quite a lot of heartache and disappointment, which is to be expected. But this film did stand out as one of the best docs. about that business that makes more money than all the other entertainment venues put together. Thumbs up!Please check out all my reviews, plus lots of good interaction and group discussion about anything/everything movies/TV/entertainment at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/movie.holiks/Email us at:[email protected] don't settle for second best!- lots of copy-cat and imitation groups out there, but "the REAL movie-holiks" is THEE original one!

At first the concept sounded interested. THEN the fact that Jon Anderson the now spiritual essence ex leader of progressive group Yes who I worship daughter was making the film. I became distraught. I hate porn with such a passion I wish I could well I'm not going to say. There's no more porn stars are you kidding. Porn is common place it's like every 10th person you see under 80 has made a porn video and it's on the internet. GIVE ME A BREAK. WAKE UP................ OK they want more review on a movie that stunk. Since when did IMDb change the rules. Why do web sites make it harder on the average user. It was fine before they make me write 10 lines of crap.

Count as a documentary if the film maker is answering her own questions? After the first 15 minutes I realized this was about a whole different kind of masturbation. Over stylized and way self important. Stop moving the camera, I'm getting motion sickness. Not art and not interesting. If there was a point I was missing it. Why Black and white? Is there really such a high percentage of girls with strong religious backgrounds or is that an effect of selection and editing? I flipped channels and started watching House of Lies on SHO instead. This has nothing really to do with Aroused but I needed to fill in 10 sentences and there is not enough to talk about in Aroused. Griffin Dunned is a terrible actor. House of Lies is lousy too BTW. Yawn.

Aroused is a pretty interesting documentary about the motives of the most famous women in pornography.We fellow the director/photographer Deborah Anderson on a special shooting with Pornstars. The Black and White cinematography is gorgeous. There's a lot of nudity in this documentary but this is for art value. This is not gratuitous. The most interesting to listen are actually Kayden Kross, Katsuni, Francesca Le and Misty Stone. The movie is pretty short and also some of the pornstars don't speak much ( Lexi Belle, April o' Neil and Lisa Ann). We see an other angle, actually the more human angle of these women. This is not an easy job and even one of them compares this job to the job of stuntman, because they risk their lives with STD. Pretty Good!
