TIKOY Aguiluz's latest movie, "www.xxx.com," is a potentially controversial production that is likely to polarize local film buffs.

Some viewers may get turned off by a number of exploitative sex scenes, weak performances, slow pacing, muggy visuals, and the movie's other debit points.

To our mind, however, they are compensated for in part by the significance of the film's subject matter: the sex trade on the Internet.

This scene is as trendy and shoddy as you can get, but it's very topical, and should be dealt with on film.

Even more significantly, it touches on a provocative theme: modern man living in a virtual world, where even sex and love are paid for and experienced via the Internet.
