SHUCKING THE CURVE

(Dir. Todd Verow)
(http://www.bangorfilms.com)
Wow.  If you'd like to know what it's like to move to the East
Village, have lots of sex, score drugs, find an apartment, and pull in some
questionable income, this film is your step-by-step guide.  Of course, this presumes you
are already a somewhat hard-core party chick.  Bonnie Dickinson does
a great job as Suzanne, the couch-surfer protagonist, especially when she and
friend Kathy (Leanne Whitney) tweak out about their OD'ed playmate (Bill Dwyer) with
aggravatingly realistic panic.  There's a rollicking bit about a psycho performance
artist (Eric Sapp) and his hungry, drug-addled roommate, (Devery Doleman) and Titania (or Tight for
short, played by Philly) is a riot as the would-be landlord.  With one hair-raising
shenanigan after another, lots of loud, improvising, stoned actors
(boy, it sure looks like they're really doing the drugs, but I'm not asking)
and some pretty funky sex scenes (e.g. sex in the tub with the dirty dishes),
it's too bad nobody threw a couple of hundred G's Verow's way for film and
processing. They should do so now, before Verow commits another of these fine
snapshots of New York City's club-kid grind to the magnet.
