Red Shoe Diaries

Well, here is one of those fun little films that make you want to slit your wrists after watching it....oh wait...that's what the lead character does! Oh, did I ruin something for you? It won't matter one iota, this is another film about sex, much like Zalman King's other films 9 1/2 WEEKS and WILD ORCHID and any illusion of an actual story is just that. Mind you, in RED SHOE DIARIES we have David Duchovny doing the whole broody pouting thing of which he can only be matched by David Boreanaz but I'm sure Duchovny would kick his ass on the basketball court and the other wat around on the ice...come to think of it...I'd much rather see those two do the celebrity sport challenge thing and I betcha that would get the chickie poo's watching some games! All joking aside, this pilot shot for the HBO late night soft core series is a fine piece of work, wonderfully shot, above average acting and one serious all around bummer of an ending.....but hey...doesn't love always turn out like that...at least in the real world?
