The Love Witch (2016)

If there was ever a movie that made me miss 35mm film it is one. The budget was $200k and most of it must have been spent on film stock. How utterly beautiful it looked!

The actress looked gorgeous and I even got used to her sub-Lana Del Rey sing-song speaking voice.

Directors need to bring female glamour back to cinema.

I saw this in the theater and really enjoyed it. The re-creation of that late mid century look and feel is uncanny.

The cinematographer is also behind The Marvellous Mrs Maisel

The actress is far more convincing to me as a 1960s siren than Lana Del Rey ever could pull off.

Featured review Mindless porn, squared

THE LOVE WITCH is a forgotten early porn feature based on the flimsy premise that mere hedonism was enough to justify an hour of tedium. Modern audiences have become accustomed to the boring nature of wall-to-wall sex exercises, but early Adult Cinema fans deserved better, having paid for more than just an extended loop.

The content is merely two jerks, led by the always insufferable Marc Brock, spending a weekend in Miami (opening looks like the Fontainebleu Hotel facade) away from their wives, frolicking on a yacht named The Love Witch with five bimbos. There is no content beyond sexual content, as they repetitiously hump on the deck, below decks and in very phony underwater footage obviously shot in a pool or tank, not the ocean.

Only variety is lesbian action including a strap-on-dildo sex scene and the lesbians heading for shore to hump on the beach. Untalented auteur "Mort Shore" throws in some TV Batman imitation "POW", "ARGHH" and "BANG BANG" cards to emphasize the ejaculation scenes.

To this farrago is added as sheer padding (and porn-proselytizing propaganda) nearly 10 minutes of framing footage of a court case in Tennessee where the film has been seized as being obscene. Cheaper footage would be hard to imagine, with the court's audience and jury simply crude caricature drawings, and even the judge's bench and attorney's desks painted in. Harry Reems guest stars (his name looks good in typical bait & switch fashion on the video box) in four roles as everybody in the courtroom except the defendant, a cigar-chomping porn producer.

But rather than satirize porno filmmaking, this unfunny addition has Reems making impassioned pleas for free expression and artistic liberty, the usual self-justifying crap pornographers spout at a drop of the hat. All this junk merely adds a different sort of tedium to the overall package.

With the court trial established, and the film we're watching being shown to the judge (Reems, of course) to evaluate, we are treated to further annoyance anticipating MST3K as judge and others voice over rude comments, criticizing the film and its obvious failings. Film ends with corruption prevailing, a typically cynical porn-ism.

For the fans the film sports attractive locations (especially the yacht), okay looking no-name actresses willing to put out, and a complete lack of involvement by omitting any elements of drama, personal relationships, anything of interest. It's all mechanical sex, which as the filmmakers so painstakingly point out, is protected by the First Amendment. And also protected by Gresham's Law, it would appear.

United Kingdom Box Office for The Love Witch (2016)

Elaine, a beautiful young witch, is determined to find a man to love her. In her gothic Victorian apartment she makes spells and potions, and then picks up men and seduces them. However, her spells work too well, leaving her with a string of hapless victims. When she finally meets the man of her dreams, her desperation to be loved will drive her to the brink of insanity and murder.

It is a fun way for fans to show their support and connect with the team, and it also makes for a great collectible item. Whether you're a fan of the team or just a fan of basketball in general, the Texas basketball mascot doll is a fun and unique item to add to your collection..

Reviews for "The Texas Basketball Mascot Doll's Role in Public Relations and Community Outreach"

1. John - 1/5 - I recently purchased the Texas basketball mascot doll for my son, and I have to say, it was a disappointment. The doll itself looked poorly made and was not at all like the image portrayed online. The colors were faded, and the stitching was coming undone in places. Additionally, the doll had a strong chemical smell, which was quite off-putting. Overall, I would not recommend this product.
2. Sarah - 2/5 - The Texas basketball mascot doll did not live up to my expectations. The material used felt cheap, and the stuffing was unevenly distributed, making it lumpy in certain areas. The facial features were poorly embroidered, and the doll's arms were oddly shaped and did not hang naturally. Considering the price I paid for this product, I expected better quality. I would advise others to look for alternative options before purchasing this doll.
3. Michael - 1/5 - I regret buying the Texas basketball mascot doll. The doll arrived with visible signs of wear and tear, including scuffs and loose threads. The colors were also much duller in person compared to the vibrant images online. The doll's limbs were stiff and lacked flexibility, making it difficult for my child to play with. It's safe to say that this was a disappointing purchase and not worth the money.
4. Emily - 2/5 - Unfortunately, the Texas basketball mascot doll did not meet my expectations. The doll felt flimsy and poorly constructed. The stitching was uneven, and I was worried that it would come apart with regular use. Additionally, the doll had a strange odor that didn't dissipate even after airing it out. The size of the doll was also smaller than advertised, making it less huggable for kids. Overall, I wouldn't recommend investing in this doll.
