Review of Showgirls (1995) by Dean M — 10 Aug 2009
Bloody hot, sexy and it makes me go... horny! I know this drama film is a majorly flop, but I like it. Every woman in the movie is a laughable caricature who advances, if at all, by deceiving other women and becoming a sexual object for men. The "heroine," Nomi (Elizabeth Berkley), crosses every line, sells every shred of dignity, physically assaults her female competitors, sleeps with her boss (in the most over-the-top sex scene in cinematic history), gets her best friend raped... and at the end of the film, claims that she has gambled and won "herself.".
Berkley's first lead role in this movie does a very bad job at acting, but there is this charm she has in her erotic dance performance. Gina Gershon is the best bitch and also hot to me. Kyle MacLachlan looks like he stumbled off the set of Blue Velvet, but brought some of Dennis Hoppers sleaze along with him.
