Hollywood North Movie Review:


The premise of this comedy is about a high-brow movie production "Lantern Moon" that morphs into low-ball exploitation movie "Flight To Bogota", while yet another film within-the-film documents hot 'behind-the-scenes' action, directed by Debra "Crash" Kara Unger in all her blonde, blue-eyed glory. Thankfully the throbbing Unger gets to feed her hunger and locks those luscious lips on a few luckies, before this flick runs out of gas.

But there truly is some classic stuff here, including Matthew "Full Metal Jacket" Modine as a freaked-out film producer, running around looking like Roger Rabbit in a turtle-neck, juicy Jennifer "Bound" Tilly as a sex-crazed actress in some nasty nude scenes (including a wham-bam on a table-top that tries to outdo Kim Cattrall's classic "Porky's" porking - thoroughly documented and lovingly replayed for the crew between scene set-ups.

The other wonderful thing about "Hollywood North" is the appearance of co-star Alan "The Fixer" Bates, the 1970's cinema icon who plays a demented, gun-toting actor that makes Network's 'Howard Beale' look like a game-show host. Bates plays 'Michael Baytes' a flag-waving, cocaine-crazed maniac, delivering his lines as only the Brits can.

I had the good fortune of appearing in this film as the 'Bogota Sound Man' and not that embarrassed by what I saw at the press screening.

"Hollywood North" is no "Player", but good enuff for a few laffs.
