Summary: Zalman King must be stopped
Review: Caught this late at night (where it belonged). A complete and total tease. Music video editing, incomprehensible plots--ponderous and stultifyingly pretentious.
I have a theory that [stuff] like this and the "Red Shoe Diaries" actually drives people TO hardcore pornography.
ALRIGHT ALREADY--JUST GET TO IT!!!

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: I am certainly a fan of Zalman King and his work. I admit, I had to watch this film twice, as it wasn't until the end, that I completely understood what was going on. The second time around was wonderful. Very well done. I particularily enjoyed how, the film focussed on voices, and especially Donna De Lory and partner Cameron Stone, who's contribution enlightened and enhanced the intrigue ... added color and managed to add yet another dimension to the story and how it was being described by the main actress. Watch it a second time, and even a third to catch all the nuances. Another brilliant movie, and another different way of describing and feeding our inner desires, need, vulnerabilities.

Summary: Hauntingly Beautiful
Review: I caught this one on a late night cable channel. I didn't know what to expect but the first few minutes caught me and I couldn't look away.
This is a story about an Heiress who managed to get away from her ruthless drug lord father and escape to the states. The story is laid out from her perspective and she incorperates the lives of two other women that she knew as a result of working at a coffee shop.
I can see how this may be a bit confusing at first because the storyteller is a blind radio pirate who is actually the heiress. She tells her story only at night in hopes of luring her father to her.
In the heiress's story, which to me is the only one that matters, Her brother was kidnapped and murdered and her mother committed suicide by driving drunken off a cliff. Then the young blonde girl is sent away from home because it is no longer safe. In this segment she realizes that her mother should have had a driver when she crashed and that leads her to believe that her father murdered her mother. The heiress runs from the 'bodygaurd' and gets away only because of a young asian man who distracts the men while she escapes.
Later in the states she meets up with this asian man and they fall in love and plan to move to another city where her father can't find them.
Then one night before they leave her father's men attack the coffee shop in hopes of kidnapping her, they mortally wound the asian man and before he dies he kills the man forcing the heiress into the car and she escapes.
From that day on due to the trauma she goes blind. I'm not sure how long from this instance till she decides to tell her story via pirate radio, but she looks older to me. That is only the heiress' story there are two other's to follow as well. This was beautifully orchastrated, and a jewel to watch. I love it.

Summary: Zalman King must be stopped
Review: I had never heard of pirate radio stations before watching this movie. I found the idea of a beautiful pirate radio host traveling the streets of Los Angeles in a fully armed 18 wheeler a bit strange at first, but it all makes sense at the end. The lead actress was so beautiful, so ethereal, so melancholy that I empathized with the men who protected and loved her. I never saw the Red Shoe Diaries (the director directed that series) but I've heard good things about it and I found this story to be surprisingly entertaining with the voices of the lead actress and Sally Kellerman (who is still sexy after all these years) and Donna De Lory's soundtrack to be both haunting and soothing. I highly recommend getting Ms. De Lory's album, "Bliss," to enjoy this wonderful performer. As erotica, though, the movie is quite tame, and the comedianne part was somewhat of a disappointment because her jokes weren't funny and they didn't show enough of her to really get a sense of her erotic nuances. Thus the four star rating rather than a five.

Summary: Zalman King's Finest
Review: I loved the idea of a beautiful pirate radio host traveling the streets of Los Angeles in a fully armed 18 wheeler. I live in L.A. and I can't believe there are this many beautiful people riding around in trucks. Just kidding :) It was an excellent movie and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes erotica.

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: I was suprised by this movie. Most of the exposure that I have had to Zelman King was through Red Shoe Diaries, so because of that I was expecting mostly mild titalation with some decent excuse for a plot. What I found in this film was something I never expected. Instead of sex and steamy dialogue (which there is some) you are instead given a somewhat confusing, yet suprisingly interesting plot. Most of the actors do really well with their parts (although at times two of the actresses totally bomb off the screen). I would recomend this to anyone who enjoys pulp type cinema, because this has all the makings of a Jackie Collins novel. *Although not rated this would probably get an R rating.

Summary: Simply Amazing
Review: I watched it twice in one night because I enjoyed it so. Much of the movie takes place in a radio station in the back of a traveling semi, but the location doesn't even matter. For those of you who enjoy the nuances of the human voice, get this, and just listen to it. There is a series of stories told, which intertwine beautifully, and are told over, through, and around the radio broadcast. Beyond that, I don't want to give more away. Enjoy!
