about the DVDfilm/movie American Gigolo.............

Singapore is also selling the same product as this and have already watch the copy. The story is basically about a woman interested in Julian (Richard Gere) and in the end Julian is involved in murder which the woman whom love her try to explain for him to the juridicial people whom is investigating in this case....etc and the story ended. Recommended to those whom are interested in this genre of DVDfilm/movie.

Los Angeles: The Movie.

I couldn't agree more with many of the other criticisms regarding the shallowness of the romantic story or essential lack of sympathy for any of the characters. The thing that makes American Gigolo such a gem is that even this aspect of Paul Schrader's attempted New Wave/LA hybrid is corrupted by its material.

And on a purely superficial level, the film perfectly captures just how a Southern California "tragedy" would unfold. Really quite brilliant, although I'm not sure all of it is intentional. June 28, 2007

American Gigolo from Amazon

I ordered the DVD, and three days later it was on my front porch. Great work! And, of course, the movie is a classic. May 14, 2007

Stud Poke Her

This is one movie that grew entirely from its failings into one of the most influential movies of the last 20 years.How could the director of "Taxi Driver" blow it? The ingredients were in line: attractive stars: Model of the decade, Lauren Hutton; Richard Gere, Slim Von Wink;supporting cast,Hector Elizondo, Latino on the rise, Bill Duke (future director)and the blond near-actress tied to Howard Hughes, Nina Von whatever.The movie rides entirely on the surface, two wheels instead of four on the ground. Slick, teasing.Innuendos,political smear. The screenwriter could not tie the pieces together into a cohesive drama. You didn't know whether it would be a political thriller or a fashion thriller. The clothes, the glitter and gloss blend with the gross. You had as much concern for Gere's fate as his choice of wardrobe at the end. Let the music play, end of movie.Made you want to shop forever.All wrapping.Strictly beefcake. May 3, 2006
