For my very first lived experience entry, I decided to watch “this girls life”. I mainly chose this movie because it was the most random, crazy, not normal movie I could find on my Netflix view it now list. The movie’s main actors include James Woods, Juliette Marquis, Kip Pardue, Tomas Arana, Michael Rapaport, and Rosario Dawson. “This Girls Life” is about a porn star that is not just your average porn star. She lives quiet the crazy life but yet she has almost all of her priorities in line. Her name, Moon, played by the one, the only, Juliette Marquis. Early in the movie you find out that Moon’s mom committed suicide a little after she was caught with another man in their house. It was said that no one ever said anything about it ever but the mom’s guilt drove her to suicide. Moon’s father is not all alone and suffering from a bad case of Parkinson’s disease. The movie progresses as moon is set up on a blind date by her friend and she surprisingly enough makes a descent connection. During her father’s birthday party her best friend proposes a deal with moon; to seduce her fiancé to see if he would remain faithful. This sparks moons imagination and gets her to later start up her own business. The Sex Investigator as she calls herself puts an ad into the newspaper and is soon swamped with phone calls. Juggling her porn career, sickly father, her sex investigating business, and her on off boyfriend, things start to fall apart. This go from bad to worse in this twisted drama directed by ASH aka Johnny Hawaiian.
There are hardly any negative influences in this movie. Everyone gets along the conflict in “This Girls Life” is really minimal. I think there was a lack in character development. There really wasn’t any great introduction to anyone else other than Moon and this made it hard to relate to anyone else in the movie. The plot really didn’t move along very fast until after Moon’s first Sexual Investigation. After that the movie started to pick up pace. Not going to lie, it was kind of boring until then. After that bad people started showing up and things got a little darker. The movie was alright but had some obvious independent features. No extremely famous actors paired with a very different plot and sup par acting really made this film a different experience compared to a movie you’d go see in the theaters that carry Hollywood films. “This girls life” wasn’t terrible and I would suggest it if you have 2 hours to spare.
