Topic: Rated X (film)

	X-rated - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the MPAA film rating system was instituted in 1968 in the U.S., the X-rating was given to a film by the MPAA if submitted to them or, due to its non-trademarked status, it could be self-applied to a film by a distributor who knew beforehand that their film contained content unsuitable for minors.
		The film was released with the tagline "Rated X by an All White Jury" because of this fact.
		Ralph Bakshi's Fritz the Cat, released in 1972, was the first animated film to receive an X rating in the United States, promoted with the tagline "He's X Rated and Animated!" The material in the film itself wasn't pornographic, and the film was later released with an "Unrated" mark on VHS and DVD.

	Rated X (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rated X is a 2000 film starring Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez, who also directs.
		The movie is based on the real lives of the Mitchell brothers, Jim and Artie Mitchell, who were successful in the pornography and strip club business in San Francisco, California in the 1960s and 1970s.
		Despite the film's name, it actually was rated R by the MPAA.

	X-rated
		At one time, it was used as a rating by the MPAA; for instance, the film Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was originally rated X by the MPAA and has since been released on video in an unrated version.
		All the ratings used by the MPAA, which administers the MPAA film rating system, are trademarked by them.
		"X" rated movies are not permitted to be sold in most States, but possession of such movies is legal and they are sold in the Australian Capital Territory; the constitution forbids retraint in goods and trade between the States, and so they are available in all States by mail-order.

		Rated X is a dramatization, but it eschews the opportunity to do anything new with the genre, instead retreading the druggy, down-in-flames trajectory that typically plagues smut-biz protagonists in all of these films.
		Yet the film is accurate in its assertion that the siblings had a knack for gussying up, and profiting from, the industry's seamier novelties and trends.
		The worst thing about Rated X -- besides the fact that the story favors the killer -- is that it sidesteps both imagination and ambition in pursuit of the cheap-thrill trinity of drugs, sex, and violence.

	Rated X (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The precise meaning of the "X" and whether it is an official rating or an unofficial labelling varies from country to country.
		The X certificate was replaced in 1982 by the 18 certificate and the R18 certificate.
		Often rate is a synonimous of rhythm or frequency, such as heart rate or sample rate.

	Rated x
		Rated X starts with a scene in which porno baron Jim Mitchell (Emilio Estevez in a bald wig, looking like Frederick March in Inherit the Wind) sits and listens to his brother Artie (Estevez's real brother, Charlie Sheen) scream death threats over the answering machine.
		Although Rated X implies that Jim Mitchell was a misunderstood artist, we never really get to see enough of their work to judge that.
		Rated X is a Showtime release that purports to be the story of porn legends The Mitchell Bros. Scoopy has pretty much outlined the plot and covered the exposure in his review.

	X
		For instance, the film Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was originally rated X by the MPAA and has since been released on video in an unrated version.
		However, the "X" rating was never trademarked by the MPAA (largely so that a producer of a film which would justifiably be considered X-rated could apply the rating by oneself without having to submit the film to the MPAA), whereas the NC-17 rating has been trademarked by the MPAA.
		While some films were hard-core and left nothing to the imagination, most enjoyed the art of innuendo, which is to say, you couldn't tell whether the participants who were getting it on were faking it--or doing it for real.

		One of the main themes that emerges in such films is violence being a solution for problems, according to Kim Thompson, associate professor and director of the Kids Risk Project at the Harvard School of Public Health.
		Despite violent scenes involving a shark attack and gunshots, the film is intended for all audiences of all ages since the film is rated G. However, some think that violence has always been a dominant force in the field of animation.
		Film critics and professors attribute different factors for the popularity of this particular genre of films.

	IFF, Issue 10, 2000, "Emilio Estevez - RATED X" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The book (X Rated: The Mitchell Brothers, A True Story of Sex, Money and Death) and the script were sent to me and I just thought it was this extraordinary Cain and Abel story set in the porn world.
		Rated X promises another layer of authenticity that's simultaneously uncomfortable and, in a twisted "let's watch them remove the corpses from the train wreck" way, titillating.
		In a perfect world, going this year with Rated X will help us find a distributor, a distributor that knows what to do with it, that gets it and sees the film's potential.

	Syracuse New Times: Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Adapted from David McCumber's tome X Rated: The Mitchell Brothers, a True Story of Sex, Money and Death, the obvious lure for this telepic is the inspired casting of real-life bros Estevez and Charlie Sheen as these bad boys of skinema.
		Cut to 1967 San Francisco, as film student Jim showcases his experimental footage of a topless protester frugging, as the cinema professor (Peter Bogdanovich in a cameo) disparages, "Film is not a medium for sophomoric high jinks.
		Indeed, even mainstream films from the late 1970s that dealt with the porn industry, such as the George C. Scott vehicle Hardcore and the James Brolin potboiler Night of the Juggler, had more of a feel for the raincoat crowd who were entertained by the era's sleaze-to-please diversions.

	Sex, drugs, murder - and boredom
		Without a doubt, if this film were from anyone else, it would probably pass in the cable night, lost among the other ambitious movies and celebrity-profile schlock.
		Whatever the reason, "Rated X" is interesting more for what infuses it and surrounds it than for what it is, for what it presents to us visually.
		Still, "Rated X" was good enough to be shown at the Sundance Film Festival, and Showtime has a long history of airing movies that are challenging and controversial.

		If the film is not that important, cut it in half (losing one frame) and give one half 50% less development time and the other half 25% less development time.
		After 1/2 the development time, turn off the lights, open the tank, cut off about 1½ feet of film (if it is 36 exposure) and drop that in the stop bath.
		After 3/4 development time cut off another 1½ feet of film and drop that in the stop bath and continue developing the rest of the film.

	[Videolib] Film Censorship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		- The film was rated X upon its original release in 1969, but the unrestricted use of that rating by pornographic filmmakers caused the rating to quickly become associated with hardcore films.
		Because of the stigma that developed around the X rating in the ratings system's early years (many theaters refused to run X films, and many newspapers would not run ads for them), the film was given a new R rating in 1971, without having anything changed or removed.
		The film's rating had been changed to R by the time of the film's television premiere.

	Rated X - movie review
		The film briefly touches on their childhood and then jumps to the early 1970's when college student Jim decides to get into making porno movies as a way to fund his directing career.
		RATED X is based on a true story and is a social comment on how the use of drugs can get totally out of hand and at one point it seems like every few seconds someone is doing a line of coke.
		RATED X is an interesting film as it looks at what is now a piece of real life history.

	Mini Reviews (February 2003) - Reviews by David Nusair
		Rated X follows the Mitchell brothers through their rise and fall in the porn industry, from their low-key beginnings as adult filmmakers to their eventual dominance of the industry (for a while, anyway).
		The film's hero is a nerdy, put-upon janitor who's not too bright and a target for local bullies.
		The film belongs to that dying comedy sub-genre, the gross-out flick.

	A Clockwork Orange (1971)
		It was one of only two movies rated X on its original release (the other was Midnight Cowboy (1969)) that was nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award.
		Both were considered 'proof', after the fact, that the film had an influential effect on violence in society.] In preparation for a new 1972 release for US audiences, Kubrick replaced about 30 seconds of footage to get an R-rating, as opposed to the X-rating that the MPAA initially assigned to it.
		The setting of the film is England in the near future [later in the film, the police wear an emblem of Elizabeth II on their lapels].

		The film, from a novel by William Peter Blatty about the demonic possession of a 12-year-old girl, includes a bloody scene of masturbation with a crucifix; contains a large number of four-letter words; and sustains a traumatic intensity that has caused some adult patrons to faint or vomit.
		Tucker said "no one that I know of" had complained to the police about the film or the fact that minors accompanied by parents or guardians had been able to see it.
		Jack J. Valenti, head of the MPAA, defended the film, which was shot largely in Georgetown, when he learned of the police department ruling yesterday.

	Rated X by Tyler Bates @ Cinemusic
		Released as a promotional CD by the composer, RATED X jumps from the hardcore sounds of '70's rock - with wailing electric guitars and a blasting Hammond B3 organ to the middle east of Asia, complete with sitars and ethnic percussion.
		RATED X presents Tyler Bates as a composer with a great deal of versatility with an elusive (for most film composers) pop sensibility.
		At times RATED X is so much rollickig good fun, it could be used to temp beer commercials ("Brothers In Arms").

		The film is arranged more or less to follow the director down the rabbit hole.
		We watch as he meets people in the industry, many of whom will not talk to him without having their face somehow obscured (indeed the director of one film threatens to kill him if he films his face since his parents don't know what he does.) We see how the films are made and distributed.
		This film shows what it takes to be in the industry and why many people try their hand at the business, money.

		Opening with the 1991 fratricidal murder of Artie (Sheen) at the hands of Jim (Estevez, who also directs), the film flashes back to their father lecturing them on the importance of family.
		In 1967, while studying film at San Francisco State, Jim's professor (Peter Bogdanovich) upbraids him for including numerous leering shots of half-naked women in his student works.
		This film was screened at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival.

	[Videolib] Not Rated Films (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		It is a stupid and subjective system that makes John Woo's THE KILLER an X rated film (one of the last) and some obnoxious Hollywood violent film like Rambo an R 2 (and alas the most common reason) MONEY!!!.
		It costs a minimum of $1500 to rate a film and if you want to rate a FILM in theatrical play you must often send a 35mm film.
		Kino for instance has NEVER rated a film in theatrical release but we have rated a few films in which we basically NEEDED an "R" version for Blockbuster such as THE PIANO TEACHER.

		It’s hard to ignore the irony that these two brothers who had their own troubles with the law should be a perfect fit to play the Mitchell Brothers.

		From college ‘art’ film days to cashing in on the demand for porn films, the Mitchell brothers rode a rollercoaster ride of riches, drugs and free sex in the 70’s.
		With the 80’s and the advent of video, the brothers’ drug habits and sexual infidelities are out of control, leading to increasingly violent confrontationsand a decline in their business empire.
		This is a pretty forgettable film but is an interesting little tele-movie, the R.R.P means it is an option if you are looking for something very different (or are a fan of its stars) think about it.

	DVDFILE.COM Forum - X rated movies, questions about them
		The X rating was created by the MPAA for films that were not suitable for children, even if they were with a parent.
		When the MPAA created the NC-17, this was their attempt to change the image of the X rated film since pornographers most likely wouldn't submit a film for that rating.
		Many of the early X rated films were resubmitted and got an R, some still remained with the NC-17.

	"Rated X" Feels Flaccid
		The storyline ticks of biographical facts in a perfunctory and uninspired manner, from Jim's college film course to Artie's multiple marriages.
		Fame followed by drugs and a cataclysmic spin out of control is tired formula and Estevez's thoroughly uncreative approach puts the banal plot front and center and the dull-as-dishwater dialogue leaves one clamoring for the remote control.
		The X oeuvre "Beyond the Green Door" gives the filmmakers cash and cachet, but its exceptional qualities are never made plain.

		In "Rated X" Jim (Emilio Estevez) and Artie Mitchell (Charlie Sheen) are in the right place at the right time--San Francisco in the 70s--when they began building their empire founded on pornography.
		The relationship between the brothers is the most fascinating aspect of this film.
		Real life brothers Emilio Estevez, who is a film maker as well as an actor, and Charlie Sheen, who has been through addiction hell, play the real life brothers Jim Mitchell, a film maker, and Artie Mitchell, who goes into a downward spiral from addictions.
