Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Starring: Mark Wahlberg & Burt Reynolds
Backed by an amazing cast, "Boogie Nights" tells the story of Eddie Adams (Wahlberg), who becomes a popular adult film star, but eventually hits a downward spiral filled with drug use and complexes.
The first half the film shows the rise of Wahlberg's character, who changes his name to Dirk Diggler, and although interesting, it almost can't compare to the stellar and intense second half of the film.
P.T. Anderson's choice of photography is nothing less than extraordinary, showcasing that other film's do not have to have a million different cuts in a single scene. The music in the film fits perfectly and is just so much fun. The supporting cast is also worth mentioning with such stars as John C. Reilly, Don Cheadle, Heather Graham, and William H. Macy.
