roboticman Sometime in the future, Dr. Rogen(Brian Lewis) has successfully completed building a heart made of solid gold and according to him it "pumps 3 times the amount of blood as a standard artificial heart". Also during this time, a hooker(Sarah Lewis) is trying to leave the business and start a new life, but her pimp(Brad Jones) won't let her. She eventually runs away and is accidentally hit by Dr. Rogen's car. The only way to save her is to transplant the heart of gold into her. From there, a bunch of stuff happens: the death of her pimp, her friend(Jillian Zurawski) becoming a sex slave, assassins hired to kill her, and one of her patients(Ryan Mitchelle) trying to prove his love for her. As you'd expect from the title, this is not a movie that you should take seriously. Don't expect this to become the next Citizen Kane or Shawshank Redemption, this is a movie that needs to be watched solely as a popcorn movie, just sit back and enjoy it. The plot is stupid, the acting is mediocre, the special effects are bad, the flowing of the story makes no sense...and that's why it's fun. This movie was made by a guy who reviews movies for a living and the actors are his friends who haven't had a single acting class. Because of this, the movie is only view able online and it is done beautifully in 5 parts. If you love the cinema snob and want to go looking for something just to enjoy and not worry about plot details, this movie is definitely for you.

Twelve_Parallax_Seconds When I read the user comments and saw the rating this movie got I immediately got suspicious. Raving reviews bordering on fellatio, and 40% giving it ten stars. Unsurprisingly, the actual movie wasn't up to par with what the IMDb page let on. The director and his friends has put a lot of effort in promoting this movie/series here.First of all, this is an amateur movie, and virtually anyone could have done this. All you need is a camera and some friends. I would be surprised if the cost of it surpassed $500.All actors are amateurs, and the acting is as you would suspect not very good. Most likely they're friends of the director, and the casting process was without a doubt non-existent; everyone available got a part. The movie was shot with a cheap video camera, and all dialogue is on- set, so it's sometimes hard to catch what the actors are saying. The directing and editing is at best amateurish, with awkward angles and weird cuts, many of them interrupting the pacing of the movie and/or making it coming to a screeching halt. Some shots are far too long, and some are too short or should have been omitted entirely. There is a story in there somewhere, but all of the above makes it hard to follow.Since the video camera used is a cheap one, it's not HD, the colors are bad and most of the lighting is from whatever lights sources there were in that particular room. I say room, because obviously there are no actual sets, all of the movie is filmed in someone's house. There are no props or visual effects, apart for some blood and a wig.The music seems out of place and seldom fits the scenes. All music are classic pop/rock songs, all of them well-known and I would be surprised if any of them are licensed, considering the overall production values. The good thing is that it's free to watch on thecinemasnob.com. Anything else than that would be a rip off. Some of the written dialogue is OK, with a lot of references to other movies, which I like, because it makes me feel smart. It's also somewhat funny that one of the main characters is called Dr Rogen, since he actually looks and sounds a lot like Seth Rogen.

moviefreak2010 4 out of 4 points NOTE: Available only at thecinemasnob.com for free viewing. What begins like a sleazy exploitation film, THE HOOKER WITH A HEART OF GOLD becomes something much more and beyond. This film reminds me of MIDNIGHT HEAT, another triumph made by amateur exploitation filmmaker Brad Jones who also directed CHEAP and GAME BOYS. What makes HOOKER great is that it's a mini series so it allows time to develop all of its characters. They all lovable no matter how bad or sleazy that they are, each of them are redeemable and honesty I didn't want to see any of them die, even the villain despite of his insanity. The title is the best of all because it both literal and poetic. Its poetic because Sarah Lewis, our main character, is a lovable person and someone you want to be with despite she's a hooker and does coke. Its also literal because she really has a golden heart. PLOT: Film begins with Dr. Rogen (Brain Lewis) attempting an operation on a corpse using a prototype mechanical heart that is painted gold. That is until he is stop by Don (Ryan Michette, the producer of HOOKER) and Mike (Jake Norvell). Rogen owes money to their employer Steele. Then we are introduce to The Hooker (Sarah Lewis, and yes that is her name in the credits) snorting some cocaine with her customer. The Hooker is tired of the life and wants out which her pimp Zalman (Jones) does not take lightly. The hooker escapes from his clutches until she is accidentally ran over by Rogen. He brings her to his basement and uses the prototype heart on her, replacing her old heart. The second she awakens, they hit it off and becomes friends and have a romance which is the most interesting part. There is more to the plot which I will not reveal to you. Like MIDNIGHT HEAT, you should see it without being told about. Overall, its Brad Jones' masterpiece. Out all the films he has done, its the best acted and most well crafted. According to interviews, Jones would like to do a DVD of HOOKER. I hope he does because I will be first in line to get it.

Ken Hoover It's one of those so corny that it's enjoyable type movie. It knows what it is and takes advantage of how ridiculous it is over a course of five episodes put together to create one whole movie.The acting is mixed. Some of it's decent, some of it's passable, and the rest is just cringingly bad, but that's what makes it so much fun. Most of the actors give decent enough performances to create somewhat likable characters and make the rest of the movie worthwhile. The director of the movie Brad Jones plays two roles and there both just....so bad. His first character is a pimp who collects old unheard of VHS tapes and Nintendo games, it sort of comes off as a Nicolas Cage type performance where he flips out and acts like a freaking nut case all the time. The second character is a dude with an eye patch seeking revenge, I wont tell you what he's getting revenge for to avoid spoilers but he's basically just a...guy with an eye patch. He also talks in this annoying snarl that makes the viewers cringe because of how stupid it sounds, and he never moves his teeth.Anybody who has seen any of Brad Jones' earlier work knows that his lighting for his movies suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! It's only improved slightly here, sometimes you can't even see who's talking or what's happening.Overall, it's stupid, over the top, campy fun with some delightfully cheesy acting and writing that contains that feel of every other Brad Jones movie. But there's one thing that I didn't care for in particular, the ending. I really couldn't wait to see what kind of ending this was going to throw at us, I thought that it would end on a really sad note with Dr. Rogen (The doctor) holding the hooker in his arms crying and giving some stupid, cheesy speech to her. But no, all it is is just a poorly edited bullet fest with a crappy scene ripped straight out of Reservoir Dogs afterwords.It's a great mini series that you should definitely check out, just don't expect a very good ending.
