hyped garbage

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Sometime in the future, Dr. Rogen(Brian Lewis) has successfully completed building a heart made of solid gold and according to him it "pumps 3 times the amount of blood as a standard artificial heart". Also during this time, a hooker(Sarah Lewis) is trying to leave the business and start a new life, but her pimp(Brad Jones) won't let her. She eventually runs away and is accidentally hit by Dr. Rogen's car. The only way to save her is to transplant the heart of gold into her. From there, a bunch of stuff happens: the death of her pimp, her friend(Jillian Zurawski) becoming a sex slave, assassins hired to kill her, and one of her patients(Ryan Mitchelle) trying to prove his love for her. As you'd expect from the title, this is not a movie that you should take seriously. Don't expect this to become the next Citizen Kane or Shawshank Redemption, this is a movie that needs to be watched solely as a popcorn movie, just sit back and enjoy it. The plot is stupid, the acting is mediocre, the special effects are bad, the flowing of the story makes no sense...and that's why it's fun. This movie was made by a guy who reviews movies for a living and the actors are his friends who haven't had a single acting class. Because of this, the movie is only view able online and it is done beautifully in 5 parts. If you love the cinema snob and want to go looking for something just to enjoy and not worry about plot details, this movie is definitely for you.

Look, you don't watch Hooker with a Heart of Gold to get something that will change the form of cinema or even push exploitation cinema into another stratosphere. It's a dude who spends 10 grand (not on the song rights for sure, but hey, why carp, soundtrack kicks ass) on bringing what he loves - feisty and smart hookers, sleazy pimps, uh, nice-guy hapless "mad" doctors - and pushes it with a lot of attitude.It certainly helps to already be a fan of the Cinema Snob website, not just the videos he does in character (it's all mostly exploitation films and porn), but the midnight screenings where you get to see the various actors (Sarah, Brian, Ryan, Jerrid, etc) as themselves. Seeing this movie after years of watching those videos is like watching your friends make a movie: what it lacks in technical polish (and yeah, it lacks a lot) is made up for with a tight script and some decent editing from Brad Jones (also writer/director).Oh, and speaking of Jones, he's having the time of his life as Zalman the pimp. He comes with a big greasy black wig, and his voice is tuned to be like Jack Nicholson in full-on villain mode (or just, you know, Nicholson mode), and he's clearly having the time of his life in this part. The story isn't all on him - it's a genre blend of Frankenstein sci-fi and a sleaze fest drenched in 70s and 80s disco and rock ("Couldn't See the Light" is what plays as the 'gold heart' is implanted) - and Sarah Lewis is fun to watch as the lead. Everyone is an amateur here, but mostly everyone delivers the dialog with some level of conviction and it's certainly a BIG step above the kinds of movies its giving homage to!So if you dig seeing this kind of lo-fi ultra-low-budget filmmaking, with a soundtrack that makes it impossible to ever be an official release, and a cast that works well together and have a lot of charm to how they play off each other. It's certainly never boring, and occasionally it's funny and genuinely clever.

4 out of 4 points NOTE: Available only at thecinemasnob.com for free viewing. What begins like a sleazy exploitation film, THE HOOKER WITH A HEART OF GOLD becomes something much more and beyond. This film reminds me of MIDNIGHT HEAT, another triumph made by amateur exploitation filmmaker Brad Jones who also directed CHEAP and GAME BOYS. What makes HOOKER great is that it's a mini series so it allows time to develop all of its characters. They all lovable no matter how bad or sleazy that they are, each of them are redeemable and honesty I didn't want to see any of them die, even the villain despite of his insanity. The title is the best of all because it both literal and poetic. Its poetic because Sarah Lewis, our main character, is a lovable person and someone you want to be with despite she's a hooker and does coke. Its also literal because she really has a golden heart. PLOT: Film begins with Dr. Rogen (Brain Lewis) attempting an operation on a corpse using a prototype mechanical heart that is painted gold. That is until he is stop by Don (Ryan Michette, the producer of HOOKER) and Mike (Jake Norvell). Rogen owes money to their employer Steele. Then we are introduce to The Hooker (Sarah Lewis, and yes that is her name in the credits) snorting some cocaine with her customer. The Hooker is tired of the life and wants out which her pimp Zalman (Jones) does not take lightly. The hooker escapes from his clutches until she is accidentally ran over by Rogen. He brings her to his basement and uses the prototype heart on her, replacing her old heart. The second she awakens, they hit it off and becomes friends and have a romance which is the most interesting part. There is more to the plot which I will not reveal to you. Like MIDNIGHT HEAT, you should see it without being told about. Overall, its Brad Jones' masterpiece. Out all the films he has done, its the best acted and most well crafted. According to interviews, Jones would like to do a DVD of HOOKER. I hope he does because I will be first in line to get it.

The Internet is a haven for independent films makers; some are good and some are not worth even talking about. Then there is Brad Jones a fan favorite on thatguywiththeglasses.com; Hid Cinema Snob character has created quite a large fan base, so naturally when he released his mini movie "The Hooker With A Heart Of Gold" his fans where exited.The basic plot of the movie is a out of work surgeon is approached by crime boss Steele and gives him money to fund a project his been working on, Steele tells Dr.Rogen (the surgeon) that one day he might need a favor in return.Sure enough that one day comes and Steele is indeed of medical treatment after a battle. Rogen saves Steele's life but Steele has gone even crazier then he already was, losing his eye and now wearing a prosthetic hand.One night Rogen is driving a long the road and accidentally runs over a prostitute, he takes her back to his basement he's renting and begins using the experimental golden heart that Steele's money had help fund.Soon the hooker and Rogen learn they both have the same enemies after them and begin to fall in love and work together to get rid of Steele and his gang once and for all, this is a must see movie for all Brad Jones fans.
