John Holmes had it all. But along with his gigantic dick came a gigantic coke problem that precipitated a quadruple homicideand, even worse, more work for Val Kilmer! Wonderland takes a back-alley tour through the history that inspired Boogie Nights, but the movie seems like soft-core Cinemax compared with the real-life footage found in the extras. Erase any doubt about the overuse of words like gruesome and horrific in connection with this story by walking through the blood-soaked Wonderland apartmentthe 25-minute LAPD crime scene video comes complete with freshly murdered victims and used smack paraphernalia. If thats too much to handle (sissy), the Court TV feature is a brief summary of the storyincluding the actors thoughts on their respective characters involvement and insightful bits from Holmes ex-girlfriend. But the money shot here (only included for a limited time, lazy ass) is Wadd, the two-hour life and times of Holmes straight from his manager, director, friends, and costars. And thats a mouthful.
