Bound - The Ultimate Lesbian Movie?

Two hot chicks screw over the mob and get millions of dollars, kill the bad guy, buy a cool truck and Tom Jones sings "She's A Lady". What more could you ask for? Gina's portrayal of Corky is HOT HOT HOT! Too bad she's straight in real life. Stupid tattoos though. Anyway, Jennifer is sexy with her curves and coyness and cold-bloodedness. They are the characters we all dream about being -- tough, rich, and with a hot babe on the side. It's crazy film noir.

Whether you're a dyke, or have dyke friends, doesn't matter. You need this in your DVD collection. Listen to the director's narration (which was recorded for Laser Disc). Although Jennifer and Gina arrive late (minutes before the end of the movie), Susie Bright provides absolutely excellent commentary. She pulls the Wachowski Brothers into conversation that rises above "Yeah, that's good, heh." Instead, you're engaged, and find out some very cool things. For example, Susie convinced the Wachowski Brothers (who directed the flick) to load up the lesbian bar that Corky visits, with real life lesbians!

Susie manages to put into words what you might only vaguely appreciate about your own reaction to the film. Remember the scene where Gina turns the water pipe under the sink? It becomes much more: suddenly it's a hot lesbian sex scene. The narrators talk about the shots, the angles, the actors, the script, and provide some things to consider the next time you watch the movie.
