Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss
»rank: 13048
0ur opinion: :First-time director Tommy 0'Haver garnered a lot of critical acclaim for this contribution to the 'new queer cinema.' But he seems more clued in as to its weight than the reviewers. 0'Haver rightly calls Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss a Tommy 0'Haver 'trifle' in the credits and he's on the money in estimating what his film is worth. For sure, the movie has much going for it; it's wholeheartedly enjoyable and packed with the usual ...

Trash
»rank: 22485
0ur opinion: :'Why do you have to be unconscious?' asks Holly (played by Holly Woodlawn) while fingering the unresponsive crotch of her passed-out junkie boyfriend, Joe (Joe Dallesandro).
