Sexina (2007)
Company: Wild Eye Releasing
Starring: Lauren D’Avella, Adam West, Annie Golden, Luis
Jose Lopez, Allyn Rachel, Kellie Fernald
My Review and Thoughts:
Anything with the title Sex and starring Adam West should inform
you what you’re getting into. This is a silly, comical, over the top modern
B-movie instant classic. This has all the trademarks of a truly memorable Drive-In, late
night, corny, spectacular romp of B-grade Heaven.
All one has to do is listen to the plot. A teen pop star named Sexina also just happens to be a private Detective that fights, that’s right, evil inside the music world. Now let’s add in a missing scientist that is being held against his will and made to create a Robot Boy Band, yes you read that right, it’s not a typo. The enemy is The Boss of Glitz records. If that don’t turn you on to this, then nothing will, did I mention Batman is in this, the one and only Adam West.

If Roger Corman and Britney Spears had a love child it would
be Sexina.
Lauren D’Avella stars as your main character Sexina. This is
only her second film, and her first starring role. She captures the silliness
of the film. She is able to hold the attention of the viewer with the over the
top reality that is the script. Don’t go into to this movie wanting an Oscar
Worthy film, go into this with your brains turned off, and ready to have fun.
As I have stated also starring Adam West which is just the perfection one
needs. West is West. He is Willy Wonka’s golden ticket. Priceless as always.
Actress Annie Golden is also in this. She most recently is
of Orange is the New Black fame. In reality Annie’s been acting for many years
now. Starting in the 1970’s. She is one of those actresses that never get the
just due, she is truly a star, and should be recognized. Also starring Luis
Jose Lopez. He to captures his part with total entertainment value. He too has
been working for many years and in my viewpoint is an underrated actor. The
whole cast of the film is great; each one just floors their characters with comical
perfection.
Written and directed by actor, and director Erik Sharkey.
This is his first feature length film. He has done some shorts and 2 documentaries’.
He is kind of a miscellaneous guru of film, actor, writer, director, producer,
camera work and so on. To me he captured in Sexina, a film that true diehard
lovers of comedy, b-movies, late night Drive-In flare, will want to watch over, and over. This is also a film to talk about and watch with a group that understands this type of comical B-movie entertainment. The characters are just awesomely crafted and the
script is absolutely ridiculous in nature, and yet that is the brilliance of
it.
Sexina is a wild, over the top, hoot of entertainment. Crazy
plot, characters and conclusion. Just an ultimate good time of corniness. Enter
this wanting to roll your eyes, giggle, laugh and you will be totally satisfied.

Overall:
Turn your brain off, and your funny bone up. A wild instant
Cult film. Simple, silly, and B-tastic entertainment. This is for all those who
love corny films. This is for those who have a great sense of humor, and if you
don’t this movie will give you one.
