Crash - Lilith Likes to Watch Famous February

Image
Title: Crash Year: 1996 Starring: James Spader, Deborah Kara Unger, Holly Hunter, Elias Koteas Director: David Cronenberg Synopsis: After getting into a serious car accident, a TV director discovers an underground sub-culture of scarred, omnisexual car-crash victims who use car accidents and the raw sexual energy they produce to try to rejuvenate his sex life with his wife. - Via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: Often parodied, never duplicated. "It’s something we are all intimately involved in. The reshaping of the human body by modern technology." Well, my fellows, Famous February is now coming to a close, and I hope you enjoyed this foray into glitzy, glistening celebrity skin. I know I did. But don’t pump the breaks just yet, we have one final film to enjoy. I can’t think of a better ending for this year than a movie about fast cars and risky love than the Cronenberg splatter-piece, Crash.

"You like watching, don't you?" Sometimes when I write these reviews, and everytime I make a social media post about them, I consult with the little devil on my shoulder. I like to be just a little bit of a smart-ass, because it’s my goal to entertain you with these reviews. If I can’t be insightful, I can at least be amusing, right? It’s with this in mind that I am compelled to make the following observation: Paul Verhoeven must have some interesting sex with his wife. I say that because he seems to really be a fan of that back-bending pose from

Title: Zandalee Year: 1991 Starring: Erika Anderson, Nicolas Cage, Judge Reinhold Director: Sam Pillsbury Synopsis: Bored with her marriage to burnt out poet turned corporate executive Thierry, Zandalee falls prey to an old friend of her husband, the manipulative and egotistical Johhny and becomes enmeshed in a sensual, passionate and destructive affair. - Via Letterboxed.com Lilith's Notes: Steve Bucemi is here too. He is the best character. "Black it out." Yeah, I know. I also have no idea how, on this porn and erotica review site, I ended up writing a review for a Nic Cage and Judge Reinhold movie, but here we are. Zandalee is the story of a woman named Zandalee (played by Erika Anderson) who is unhappily married to Thierry (Played by Judge Reinhold) a rich southern boy. She is physically and emotionally unfulfilled and lives out a life of doldrums. To alleviate her boredom, she goes out clubbing with a friend, gets innocently frisky with another person, the

"We're not bad people, we just come from a bad place." Welcome back to a fresh new year of Lilith Likes to Watch. Welcome, also to a new Famous February!
