How much was it at Wal Mart?

I like this. Especially as such a big fan of the fictionalized take on Holmes in 'Boogie Nights', it was cool to see another angle to the story.

I liked the way they told the story. I will buy this if I see it around.

I recently picked up Wonderland for cheap and have to say, for anyone who likes "Boogie Nights", Wonderland is a good companion piece to have. While I knew "Boogie" was loosely based on the life and "adventures" of John Holmes, Wonderland and the included bonus feature-length film about "Johnny Wadd" tie up all the loose and/or missing pieces. In fact, P.T. Anderson darn near plagiarized some things with his movie, specifically with Holmes' film characters and word-for-word dialogue from his (Holmes') films.

Additionally, Wonderland features yet another excellent character portrayal by Val Kilmer. The guy has had a lot of hits and misses with his career, but his portrayal of Holmes ranks up there with his best such as Doc Holliday and Jim Morrison.

But the BIG surprise for me with this movie was finding out that Holmes was born and spent the early part of his life in the same town where I grew up, and was in fact delivered by my old family doctor at the local hospital. In my nearly 60 years I had never even once heard mention of it by anyone there, nor seen or read anything about it. But the bio film on Holmes shows a copy of his birth certificate, and when I saw and read it I about fell over in shock.
