My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Electra Luxx (2010)

Sebastian Gutierrez's sequel to Women in Trouble again stars his wife, the super talented Carla Gugino, as a porn star in a spiritual awakening as she deals with being pregnant and an unknown future.  Most of the cast returns from the first one, although I missed Connie Britton's character and would have enjoyed at least a cameo.  Like the first one, this is an independent film heavy on indulgent dialogue and quirky character motivations.  Certainly a fun film that succeeds on many levels, especially in the acting category.  I've read that Gutierrez wants to make a third film, which would be interesting but I would hope for a stronger plot.  Yet if this is where the story ends, it does seem to conclude all the story lines from the first film and I appreciated that.  Grade: B
