The low life torrent

Tony Tedeschi. Chris Cannon Lee as Lee. Storyline Edit. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. User reviews 1 Review. Top review. Amateurish and embarrassing. This unsatisfactory Vivid vehicle for contract superstar Chloe Jones is his soap box about punk rock and is so poorly made that it beggars description. The fact that it garnered six AVN award nominations might merely be evidence of payola, lip service to the powerful Vivid Video label, but methinks it reflects the idiocy of the media covering porn.

Among the inadequacies here are poor lighting, very poor sound recording of dialog, crummier sets than usual, even for a Vivid quickie by Stanley, unbearably bad acting Eric Masterson pretending to be a stoned-out punk rocker gives the worst performance of his career , intentionally ugly visuals, so much so as to represent a Cult of Ugliness bias, and mechanical sex scenes.

The actual performance by Eric's band on stage is clutzy, unconvincing, and with a nonexistent audience represented at first by dubbed in crowd nice. Add to this an eclectic and constantly annoying musical background, featuring library music from classical "Ride of the Valkyries" to jazz and elevator music, often clashing with the content of a scene. Stanley's script is a facile cry against the bubble gum style of rock which succeeded punk rock, at least in the auteur's estimation. Rotten gets a big sex scene with her other half, mucho tattooed Rob Rotten, sporting a spiky Mohawk hairdo, in a typically ugly bathroom setting.

Stanley also dishes out 2 d. With Chris Cannon on drums and a bit player Sal on bass guitar, Eric's group merely caricatures punk rock. Stanley cannot resist throwing into the audience plus another extranous scene his beloved Gorilla Suit character named "Big Baloney Sandwich", his presence merely cryptic in this video.

Details Edit. Release date United States. United States. Low Life. Vivid Entertainment. The high points of the EP are the relaxed moments, as on "What You Are," which allow the band's writing and compositional skills to reveal themselves instead of being trampled by a barrage of strings and drums. Unfortunately, breaks in the musical melee are few and quite far between, and most of High Tech, Low Life -- like tonystark itself -- appears to be formed from the creative remnants of other bands.
