About Cherry - Trailer 2
This bold debut film by author Stephen Elliott, a visual love letter to San Francisco, is the story of high school student Angelica (a mesmerizing Ashley Hinshaw), whose choices lead her from a depressing home life and dead-end job in Los Angeles to the fetish-filled Bay Area adult film world. A stepfather with dark motives lurks in the background, as Angelica watches over her younger sister and questions her options. In memorable supporting roles are Festival favorite Lili Taylor as Angelica's manic and opportunistic mother, Jonny Weston as her sexy but sleazy boyfriend and Dev Patel as best friend and much-needed nonsexual support. The vibrant cast also includes James Franco as a coke-addicted attorney who spots Angelica in a strip club, and Heather Graham as a female porn director who launches "Cherry's" adult film career with mixed feelings. A gritty and defiantly voyeuristic look at the life of a youth who never loses her innocence, even as she gyrates for the camera, Cherry captures a rare point of view, urging us to consider the delicate tension between body and self by focusing on society's most sought after objects of desire.
About Cherry was released September 21st, 2012 and stars James Franco, Heather Graham, Dev Patel, Ashley Hinshaw, Lili Taylor, Diane Farr, Sensi Pearl, Jonny Weston. The film is directed by Stephen Elliott.

Awesome, @dan1. Check it out and get back to me on your thoughts, regardless of whether you like "Mark-up Mark". Haha.
Surprisingly enough, I found his acting in the film commendable, though I liked him in Three Kings and The Departed as well.
And yeah, @skywise, Boogie Nights was awesome. Funny it should be brought up here, actually, because I have yet to see Hard Eight (to my shame) which is why I asked @thedude-abides what he thought on the movie on another article.

@narrator although I loved Hard Eight it was Boogie Nights that put Pual Thomas Anderson on my radar. One of, if not THe best movie set in the porn industry.

The only movie about porn that was any good that wasn't a porno was Larry Flynt vs the People. This looks like a giant tease and not any good. Fail.
