This movie was not as good as I expected. The acting was blah and so was the story line. Can't say much about this one


5 out of 5 stars Two Worlds Collide.    December 8, 2008
Celeste Harmer (Pennsylvania)
Typical Zalman King fare with an intriguing story line. Southern-belle debutante April DeLongpre seems to have a perfect life, but she has an itch her snooty fiance Chad Fairchild can't scratch. The carnival comes to town, and April lays eyes on an incredibly buff carnie named Perry. Soon Fate nicely plays into her hands when her family and Chad all leave town at the same time, giving April an opportunity to be alone so that she can seek Perry out. But will their torrid affair last when April's autocratic grandmother, fearing that Perry will destroy April and Chad's carefully engineered union, puts the local sherrif on red alert against Perry?

TMJ has a full roster of celebrities, including a very young Milla Jovovich in her first screen role. Some have criticized this movie for being pointless, but I find the story of two worlds colliding to be very interesting!


4 out of 5 stars One of my favorite guilty pleasures...    June 28, 2008

Two Moon Junction was the first Zalman King movie I ever watched and have to say that it was my favorite. Yes, the story gets a little campy here & there, but you just have to love it anyways! I can't get enough of Richard Tyson in this movie...his looks, his quirky & sometimes very funny remarks, his sincere moments. (I personally think he is very underrated as an actor!) Sherilyn Fenn plays the spoiled rich girl who could want for nothing more in life...until she meets carnival worker Perry. She has everything, he has nothing, but in the end...well if I told you how it ended, you might not be enticed to watch it. Love it, love it, love it!


5 out of 5 stars Great "couples" movie    April 19, 2008
John Williams (Florida)
This is a very entertaining movie with a plot, great acting, sexy, erotic yet tasteful scenes with full nudity at times. The camera work if awesome throughout the entire movie. If you want to get your partner "in the mood", this is the film that will do it for you.

Two Moon Junction (Zalman King, 1988)

Back in the day, I had an ex-girlfriend (well, more like a female acquaintance, but that is a long and boring story-- much like this film) who was obsessed with this flick. I never actually saw the whole thing, so I sat down recently and have it the treatment. Afterwards, I remembered why I stopped subjecting myself to Zalman King flicks after 9 Weeks. The box calls it an "adult drama"; the translation, of course, is "softcore", but without anywhere near the amount of nudity or badly-simulated sex one expects from the genre.

The plot, what little of it there is, involves April Delongpre (Twin Peaks' Sherilyn Fenn), a southern debutante who is getting married soon. When the carnival comes to town, however, she finds herself enmeshed in a fling with Perry (Black Hawk Down's Richard Tyson), one of the carnies. Yep, that's all there is to it.

The main problem with the film-- aside, of course, from its almost entire lack of a storyline-- is the lack of chemistry between the sultry Fenn and Tyson, who comes off as a sort of low-rent Val Kilmer with far less charisma. In fact, it's grudgingly admirable that King managed to find two actors who could share almost no chemistry at all. It's the love story version of Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman in Se7en, except those two weren't supposed to like one another. Now, a better director may have been able to carry this off anyway, but King is not that better director.

These days, if this movie is remembered at all, it should be as the final screen appearances of Burl Ives and Herve Villechaize combined with the first screen appearance of Milla Jovovich, though all three are eminently forgettable here, in keeping with the rest of the picture. I can't imagine why anyone would want to remember it. *
