Review of The Canyons (2013) by Tony J — 08 Aug 2013
Although Ms. Lohan proves in this movie that she can act when not hanging out at nightclubs, sitting in court rooms, or checking in and out of rehabs, the real stars in this bit of debauched soap opera were the cell phones and the characters' constant need to track one another down by texting,calling, and videotaping their sexual antics. There were a few really good lines of dialogue in this movie, the most memorable of which was "Privacy? There is no privacy anymore." That's for sure; the actors in this "steamy" slice of cinema had to strut about naked or semi-naked a lot. despite this, it was about as erotic as people playing badminton in the nude. The lead actor, (James Deen? This.
guy's real name must be something like Lester Fickelstein) was effective in his role, but paced about like a bantum rooster in a state of underwhelming half undress. The.
other men likewise required to bare flesh fared only slightly better; one was marred by an over-styled Donald Trump-type hairdo but had great cheekbones and a nice bod. The gay characters in the movie were presented as beady-eyed and desperate for young flesh. Yes, it was that kind of a movie, a sort of pulp novel trash-fest if you like that kind of thing. I suspect many will find these "canyons" abysmal rather than alluring.
