Tromeo and Juliet (1996)
It's horrible. Watch it.
The plot is ridiculous. The acting is bad. The effects are fake. The music is horrible. The chicks show tits, but the guys no dicks (if the monster dick doesn't count). They even throw in a kick-ass Juliet and a lesbian sex scene, just for good measure. Basically it has something for everybody who can appreciate some real quality garbage.
Demonlover (2002)
Not just about corporations, also about women
Where most reviewers think this movie only comments on new media and globalisation, with the porn industry as a means to an end, I feel it also makes great comments on femininity and female sexuality and does that in an increasingly unapologetically.
At first Diane seems to be in total control and the only one with ulterior motives, but slowly it all spins out of her hands and out of her league. Only from this point onward we get a glimpse - just a glimpse - of what drives her, of who she truly is. Only tidbits of backstory are springled throughout the story, but they are enough to turn these characters into fully realised persons. The nervous cigarette-tokes seal the deal. There's so much more behind the surface than the script alone can say. Seemingly soulless people have genuine heart-to-hearts and lies are constantly confessions under a thin veneer.
The only reason I give this movie a 9/10 is because of the second to last sequence in the film. It just makes the main character seem stupid. It broke the spell the film had cast on me.
