  It's all about attitude - I think
  
  How you view this controversial film is entirely dependent on your own conceits and sexual orientation. Certainly it is the most explicit I have ever seen in a ... read more »

  A film about "seeing" with a dead-eyed pornstar
  
  Oh dear. It's sad when you are desperate to say something worthwhile but have nothing worthwhile to say.
  
  Sadder still when you recruit a leading ... read more »
