"Dangerous Beauty"
Dangerous Beauty (1998) stars Catherine McCormack as a bright and attractive young woman in 16th century Venice. She is in love with a man so far above her in station (Marco), that she has no chance of marrying him, even though he also loves her. Her mother comes up with the perfect solutions. She trains her to be a courtesan. Seems her mother was once a famous courtesan, and learned the trade from her own mother. This was a position with definite advantages, not solely financial. Wives were sort of property, were uneducated, and were expected to stay home, do needle point, and have lots of children. Courtesans were educated, and welcome in almost any circle of powerful men.
McCormack was very good at her trade, and was the darling of Venice, but still loved Marco, which was nearly her undoing. He made the expected political marriage, but turned to McCormack for love and lust. Small things like a war with the Turks, and a plague which brought the inquisition to Venice, to root out the sin that had made God angry enough to send a plague, nearly cost her her life. McCormack shows breasts and buns in several scenes, and several unknown courtesans also showed breasts.
IMDB readers have this at 7.1 of 10. Ebert says 3 1/2 stars, Berardinelli says 3, and Rotten Tomatoes shows 68% positive, with 75% from the top critics. This is the sort of film I would normally not like. It is a long costumer, and is basically a woman's story, showing the status of women in the 16th century, and how one woman rose above it. IN fact, it is based on a true story. To my surprise, I enjoyed it very much. The beautiful cinematography and the nudity didn't hurt, and the fine acting was a plus, but what held my interest was a lively story and clever dialogue. This is a B.

Movies and TV:
Two brand-new, unreleased movies today, both with female nudity. That's the
good news.
The bad news is that both movies stink, and the nudity comes from
unknowns or unidentifieds.
Final Destination 2 - a sequel to the semi-popular youth-oriented slasher/horror film, which really has none of the qualities that
made the first one popular.
The Foreigner -
a confusing international intrigue film. Screen Gems signed a
contract to make two films for Steven Seagal after the respectable
success of Exit Wounds. This is the second of the two. I think
you'll know everything you need to know when I tell you that they
sent it straight-to-vid after lavishing $20 million dollars on it.

Here
are the latest movie reviews available at scoopy.com.
- The yellow asterisks indicate that I wrote the
review, and am deluded into thinking it includes humor.
- If there is a white asterisk, it means that
there isn't any significant humor, but I inexplicably determined
there might be something else of interest.
- A blue asterisk indicates the review is written
by Tuna (or Lawdog or Junior or C2000 or Realist or ICMS or Mick
Locke, or somebody else besides me)
- If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too
ashamed to admit it.

'Caps and comments by Rossol:
Vidcaps from the Finnish TV-series "Sydänten akatemia" (1998, rerun 2003). Matleena Kuusniemi (known from Levottomat) and Miina Turunen (not to be mixed up with Minna Turunen).
"Sydänten akatemia" (1998) (Academy of the Hearts) started off as a very well done soap series, then declined a bit. It's currently being rerun on TV, so that makes these caps topical again. Besides these scenes there was some worthwhile non nude stuff by Miina and other actresses.
- Matleena Kuusniemi, breasts, bum, and lingerie.

Once upon a time, she looked pretty good. Thanks to Marsie for this trip down memory lane as he takes us back to the December 1992 issue of the French Photo Magazine for these Marilyn Monroe-esque cleavage scans.
