Editorial Reviews

Hollywood has created a virtual minigenre by portraying ceaselessly dedicated, if sometimes flawed, teachers goading their troublesome young charges to greatness (see also Stand and Deliver, Mr. Holland's Opus, and Dead Poet's Society). But director Michael Hoffman's tale crucially turns when its prestigious prep school teacher (Kevin Kline) ensnares himself in a moral dilemma while stoking the virtual Ivy League assembly line he toils for. Thus James Newton Howard's score sparkles with the intelligence implied by its modern orchestral pastoralism, yet comes haunted with a bittersweet emotional undercurrent as well. It's the sort of deceptively breezy, yet fragile balance that Rachel Portman employed in The Cider House Rules and elsewhere to great effect, toughened up and distanced with a little of Horner's A Beautiful Mind minimalist bent; in Howard's capable hands, it's a successful and ever-compelling mix. --Jerry McCulley

    3 out of 5 stars Thinkin dirty.......2004-12-06

    A wonderful collection of sexually charged electronic tracks by some of the hottest and most respected names in dance/electronic today. This soundtrack to a documentary about porn stars fits the images perfectly, and even taken on its own this collections compiles some of the best artists with Peaches, Felix Da Housecat featuring Princess Superstar and even Tiga covering one of Nelly's summertime hits. This album does what the porn stars themselves do, take sexuality to another level leaving the viewer (or listener) unable to tell if what they are seeing (or hearing) is really nasty or extremely sexy. What ever the decision this album is worth the listen.

    4 out of 5 stars Only AA but..........2004-11-22

    Recently a book called XXX came out. In the book, there were several intimate portraits of various adult film stars along with lots of information about them. Then HBO made a documentary about the book. And so finally here I am, reviewing the soundtrack to a documentary to a book. At first, I found the very idea of this soundtrack to be excessive and sort of obnoxious. That is until I realized that I really liked a lot of the music on the soundtrack. Basically, this is a really good collection of tunes. I, of course, already had the Velvet Underground song and was already familiar with the infamous Peaches. Her song "AA XXX" seemed to be a inspiration for the documentary's title or perhaps just a great coincidence. But all the songs on the CD are really great! It turned me on to Princess Superstar, who I'm going to be checking out very soon. Tiga and Heather Hunter (adult firm star turned musician!) both contribute certified party bombs to this collection. Also the exclusive Ladytron track ("Sugar") is a winner. Sometimes you want a fun mix of songs to put on and this soundtrack is shockingly satisifying and worth your dollars! Check it out if you get the chance.
