Rating (out of 5):

     I just spent the better part of a week watching and reviewing a handful of no-budget indie flicks.  Most were horror flicks but a few of them were thrillers or crime dramas.  Regardless, I enjoyed myself for the most part but I've horrored myself out a little bit.  I wanted to dive outside the genre for a bit and watch something a little different.  A few days ago I received my January package from Vinegar Syndrome which had the newest Peekarama release.  This was perfect.  It was something on the sleazy side of cinema while I recharged my batteries.  The first film in the set was 1979's Taxi Girls.

     The film follows a young working girl who is tired or working on her back only to get busted by the police.  She decides to take out a loan to buy some cars to use as taxis where the men customers could pay extra for...extra.  The business takes off and soon they are making money hand over ass until the rival taxi service starts coming up short.

     I was never one for the vintage porn or sexploitation but Vinegar Syndrome really opened my mind to these types of films.  I love when I go to movie collecting groups and you find those random members that think they are superior because they don't watch these types of films.  They are literally missing out because these movies are pretty fucking fun and well worth a watch.  Taxi Girls is another fine Peekarama release from Vin Syn.  The acting in this one is pretty fun.  The characters are very cheesy but the cast does a solid enough job in their roles.  I was really impressed by Nancy Suiter who made a huge splash in the adult world around this time and then disappeared.  She's absolutely goregeous and very playful in front of the camera.  I enjoyed her performance a lot.  The story for this one is, obviously, centered around sex but the character development and story really is entertaining.  I loved how the main character had dreams of becoming a stand up comedian as it mixed with her successful business venture where the rival taxi services becomes enraged by their success.  It was a really fun story that not only works as sexploitation but as a dramedy as well.  Finally, no blood or gore here.  However, there is plenty of skin, money shots, and several orgies.  Overall, Taxi Girls is a sleazy good time with a gorgeous cast and a pretty solid story.  I highly recommend this one.
