Throw-Back Movie: WONDERLAND

One of the illest true-life murder movies ever! The movie goes through two different stories about what happened the night of the infamous Wonderland murders in Los Angeles in 1981, questioning around iconic porn star John Holmes. You might have heard of this real-life gruesome murder during VH1's special "20 Most Horrifying Hollywood Murders", but this movie gives you the whole story, visually and verbally. It stars Val Kilmer, Kate Bosworth, and Lisa Kudrow, among others. It has a very hippie style, being that most of the movie's events took place in the 1970s. It was accompanied by classic 70s rock songs by various artists like Billy Joel, Joan Jet, and The Cars. I was so loving it. I thought Kate Bosworth was adorable playing the druggy porn star's naive teenage girlfriend and Val Kilmer, even as a drug attic, still seemed sort of dreamy with his hot golden, wavy locks. It was directed by James Cox, and was wonderfully done. I'm no film expert but I debuted it to my bffs Domo & A-List tonight, and loved it more than I did the 1st time I saw it. Sex, Guns, Money, & Murder. Welcome to L.A.

Peace yal!
