Review of Boogie Nights (1997) by Kang R — 22 Apr 2011
This is a dark, gritty drama loosely based on John Holmes, full name: John Curtis Holmes (August 8, 1944 - March 13, 1988) better known as John C. Holmes or Johnny Wadd (after the lead character in a series of related films), he was one of the most prolific male porn stars of all time, appearing in about 2,500 adult loops, stag films, and pornographic feature movies in the 1970s and 1980s.
He was best known for his exceptionally large penis, which was heavily promoted as being the longest and thickest in the porn industry, although no definitive measurement of Holmes' actual penis length exists. Near the end of his life, Holmes attracted notoriety for his involvement in the Wonderland murders in 1981, and eventually for his death from complications caused by AIDS.
Mark Wahlberg did an excellent job. This movie was well cast, well written & well executed.
