I couldn't believe what i was hearing when I first saw this movie. This has to be my dream role for Debbie. If you thought she was dirty in Videodrome you aint seen nothing yet! Its not the greatest movie in the world but its so worth watching to hear Debbie doing phone sex. Grace Zaberiski who you'll probably recognise from so many things makes an appearance. It does get a little disturbing but you've got to see Debbie with a blow torch. She also sings a bit in the movie and i just wish there was a sound track. This is her 3rd best role after her one in 1999's Six Ways To Sunday and as Velma Von Tussle in John Waters' Hairspray. Great tag line too. 'She Just Turned On The Wrong Guy'!

I havent seen the original yet but I watched this last night and really enjoyed it. The camp designer, Hollywood is the best in it. The acting isn't all that great but it doesn't need to be. Its a simple story that will satisfy people of all ages in the mood for a bit of romance. I think the story is the same as in the first movie, so if you've seen the first one I don't think you'll need to watch this.
Six Ways to Sunday
(1997)
Very funny.

This is such a great movie. Debbie Harry gives the best performance as a mother obsessed with her son. She even baths him! The film is mainly about a young boy joining the mob to earn money. He has a split personality, likes his Mom too much and falls in love but is essentially an alright guy, if not a little warped. The best scene is when he and his Mom talk about sex. A very underrated film, worth watching if only for Debbie Harry.
The Delinquents
(1989)
Kylie was quite good.

I quite liked this movie. Its a bit feeble but its alright. They obviously used Kylie because of her superstar status and maybe she isn't the best choice but she pulls it off quite well. I liked it when the woman who takes Lola in teaches her manners. Her hair looks really dodgy when she bleaches it though. All in all not bad but it could've been better.
Hairspray
(1988)
Hairspray is the best!

This has to be without a doubt my favourite movie. There are probably better but none that I have enjoyed as much. Its perfectly cast and well written. Ricki Lake, Divine, Vitamin C and of course Debbie Harry all shine. It deals with such a sensitive issue thats still relevant today (prejudice) in an easily digestable and engaging way. I love the dances and the whole feel of this movie. Its one you love or hate and I definatly love it! 10/10
