I’ve always admired Al as a porn pioneer and dedicated advocate for the First Amendment. But here he comes across as an egomaniac zigzag on self-destruction. It seems the rage he once directed against politicians like Nixon and Guilliani is now focused on the assume, the district attorney and anyone else his increasingly paranoid mind views as an enemy.
The overriding report you win is of a man, fueled by insecurity and self-hatred, who is obvious to remain in the public spotlight no matter the cost. It’s not always respectable to ogle. But, like a car break, it’s hard to seize your eyes off of him and this seems to be exactly what Al wants.
Billed as a “feel favorable flick with fun, filth and felonious assault”,filmmaker James Guardino’s “Porn King” (Blue Underground DVD) is a peephole-eyed profile of distinguished “Screw Magazine” publisher Al Goldstein. After a perfunctory review of Goldstein’s early years and subsequent rise to riches and infamy, the film directs its focus to the myth of a three-year court battle kindled by a relatively minor verbal harassment charge brought against him by his ex-secretary in 2001.

Goldstein’s “glory days” of first amendment battles were outmoded history by the time Guardino started filming, and it becomes definite that this final skirmish is less about freedom of speech and more about media attention (in this jaded age of mainstream post-Madonna porn chic,old-school “smut peddlers” like Goldstein appear to have lost their cachet) .
The film bears unblinking peek to the dethroning, as his riches turn quite literally into rags (at one point, a humbled Goldstein is actually begging the cameraman for a few bucks because he doesn’t want to expend another night in a homeless shelter) . It’s level-headed tough to feel sorry for him, because up to this point in the record he is shown to be so unrelentingly self-destructive and compulsively abrasive toward everyone he comes in contact with. Tranquil, there is a morbid fascination factor here that makes “Porn King” an enthralling survey.
