Middle Men (8/10)

So this the true story that I like. It's fast paced, interesting, fresh, and a blast. The narrative structure of the film and the scenes the actors play out mix perfectly. That is a hard thing to do. "Trainspotting" and "Fight Club" did it very well but films like "Super" suffer because it can't find a mix. "Super" redeemed itself later on but enough about other films. I want to talk about how "Middle Men" is a movie that should be seen. The plot is nothing to be ashamed of much like the millions of people that made this story possible felt like.

This is the story of three men who made internet porn what it is today. Yea, it's a strange topic, but "Boogie Nights" is a movie about porn stars and I say that's one of the best movies ever made (again off topic, sorry). Two hyper active perverted friends (Gabriel Macht and a great Giovanni Ribisi) decide one day  to upload some dirty pictures online. Well they sell albums of the stuff for ten bucks a pop using a credit card billing system that most online websites use today. The two are coke fiends have no idea how to run a business so they need the help of nice guy Jack Harris (Luke Wilson). He'll run the business end and they'll find the pictures and videos. The movie is filled with parties, drugs, sex and mobsters. Sounds fun to me and the fact the movie made it interesting through out is no short of a miracle. I gotta love when a film can keep your attention from beginning to finish. I wish that Macht and Gibisi had bigger roles later in the movie because they were awesome. They didn't need a porn star girlfriend (the beautiful Laura Ramsey) and mob troubles like Jack did, they're having fun where ever they are. This film is very entertaining because let's face it. Movies involving about the porn industry are fun. Well "Boogie Nights" and "Middle Men" are at least.

8/10
Recommendation: Lot's of things to like. I had a lot of fun watching it and I think anybody could if you give it a chance. Paul Thomas Anderson, my favorite director, reportedly said it was the best movie he's seen in about five years.
