...excesses. Fortunately, moviegoers who feel compelled to test their First Amendment absolutism need not despair. A more honest view of pornography and its practitioners can be found in the just released documentary Screwed, a portrait of Al Goldstein, who, as publisher of Screw magazine, sits even lower on the porno food chain than Flynt. As seen here in all his corpulent, wheezing glory, Goldstein is a man so full of animus toward women that he even refers to his mother as a "dumb c__." Now here is a movie unafraid to turn its audience off, box office be damned...
...MOVIES . . . FIRST STRIKE: The plot Jackie Chan's new action film is standard spy hokum: he's caught in a nuclear arms chase involving the CIA, the former KGB and renegade merchants of death. It engrosses little and matters less. "As in musicals and porno films, it's the big numbers -- here the rampaging action scenes -- that carry a Chan movie," notes TIME's Richard Corliss.

And where does he go for artistic challenges? Into porno. "With triple-X," he says, "I can explore video imaging, different film stocks and all sorts of weird underground stuff as long as I have the obligatory pornography. When I made erotic thrillers, they wanted things that look like movies of the week...
...plunged into a string of profitable but cheapening enterprises, including launching a psychic hotline and posing for Playboy. "He controlled all my bank accounts," Jackson says. "I couldn't cash a check." She says she called it quits when Gordon insisted that she perform in a porno flick. So one morning as he showered, she dashed to a waiting car driven by her brother Randy, who spirited her away. Gordon, who has been convicted of attempted bribery and conspiracy to commit pandering, says, "Latoya is a liar, an absolute liar...
