Editorial Reviews

"Everyone's blessed with one special thing," says Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg), the porn-star hero of director Paul Thomas Anderson's sprawling Altman-esque ensemble drama Boogie Nights. Diggler is blessed with a very large "special thing," plus childlike enthusiasm, and both help catapult him to sex-film stardom under the guiding hand of adult-film director Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds). Set in late '7s and early '80s Los Angeles, Boogie Nights celebrates the era of eight-track tapes, disco, and cocaine. The times comevividly alive here, with a high-energy period soundtrack and a sharp cast that includes Julianne Moore (who earned an Oscar nomination for her role), Heather Graham, Don Cheadle, William H. Macy, John C. Reilly, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Their beautifully rounded performances bring a lot of warmth and compassion to a story that has plenty of sex and drugs, but is ultimately about family and forgiveness. Wahlberg is winningly boyish in the lead, but it's Reynolds who holds the film together (he also got an Oscar nomination) with his portrayal of a curiously asexual porn auteur and patriarch of an offbeat clan.

January 14, 2008: Enter the world of Jack Horner and you will meet some of the most interesting characters ever put on film. This is far and away my favorite movie of 1997. The list of outstanding and break-through performances is simply amazing, Don Cheadle, Philip Seymour Hoffman, John C. Reilly, Alfred Molina, Luis Guzman, William H. Macy, Mark Wahlberg, Robert Ridgely, and of course, Burt Reynolds in his career defining roll. So, if you want a wonderfully twisted and nostalgic look at the 70's, join Dirk, Scotty, Buck, and the Colonel in "Boogie Nights".

March 04, 2006: What kind of a madman would think of making a movie chronicling the rise and fall of a porn star, simple, Paul Thomas Anderson. This movie is one of the most daring films i have seen, it tries to capture a Henry Hill-like porn star's journey in the late seventies early eighties. The direction is spotless, and it takes from Scorsese and Altman. Paul Thomas Anderson has made three great movies, Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, and this. I have to say that this is his best, with Magnolia in a close second. The long steady cam scenes and the powerful screenplay (along with uutterly stunning visuals) have made Paul Thomas Anderson the next big director. The acting is top notch here, Mark Wahlberg is at the top of his game as Eddie Adams (AKA Dirk Diggler), the lead role. The supporting acting is so good that the subplots (of which this movie has many) are wonderful. The best is Burt Reynolds, playing a adult film director named Jack Horner, this is his best movie in a long time. The era this movie embodies comes alive with stunning atmosphere and wonderful music, Anderson knows this stuff. The first act is filled with an introduction into the adult film industry, a truely unique expirience. In it we see Eddie transform from a shy kid into Dirk Diggler, a well reknown porn star. The second act is arguably the best. Here we see all the characters introduced in the first part going through rough times. The end is the best, filled with ripe images of each character (reminescent of Altman). The best is Wahlberg's Eddie, who becomes a crack addled has been whose descent into madness and depravity is vividly portrayed on film. The movie is very well, in fact one of the best i've seen, but it does deal with some touchy subject matter (including male prostitution), but keep an open mind while you watch this movie. Although Titanic sweep the Oscars in 1997, i think this indeed is the best movie of the year by far, and it goes down as one of the best movies ever.
