"Sexual Predator"
Sexual Predator (2001), a direct to vid (named "Last Cry" at IMDB), is probably the most important of next weeks releases. It is an erotic thriller featuring Angie Everhart as a probation officer, who is in charge of probation for Richard Grieco, famous photographer, who accidently strangled Angie's best friend having kinky sex. He plea bargained to 5 years probation. As soft core, this film was disappointing. Most of the sex scenes looked like people posing for a still photographer. There was very little heat or passion, except for a scene in a sex club, where we see a woman masturbating, then a couple doing it on stage. While Angie watches, Grieco caresses her, in what is the hottest scene of the film. The film was lit to emphasize Angie's red hair and freckles, with a lot of orange light. It looks like Angie is poised to be the next star of soft core thrillers. She has the looks for it, and is not totally without acting ability, but she seems to me like she is more likely to give you frostbite or a knife in the back that great passion. So, as soft core, it is disappointing.
On the other hand, it is a far better than average thriller. Not only was I not able to guess the ending, but I actually cared what the outcome was, and they played no mis-direction games to keep you from guessing what ended up being a completely logical outcome. Angie shows breasts and buns, but wears an obvious crotch patch (image 11). Someone credited as McKayla plays her girlfriend who is murdered before the film starts. She shows everything in some flashbacks. There are four un-identified actresses in the sex club that show pretty much everything, and another young woman who also shows everything as Grieco's model. Because of the nudity and sexuality, this can get no better than a C+ based on crossover appeal, but I strongly recommend it as a mystery thriller. C+

"Pervirella"
Pervirella (1997) is a 16mm home movie made in the UK, trying to be a high camp sex farce. The production values are so bad as to make it nearly unwatchable. Things are moved on obvious strings, bad toy houses are used as miniatures, lighting, focus, exposure, etc. were totally beyond them, and the acting is absent. Emily Booth as Emily Bouffante plays Pervirella, who turns into a sex crazed woman when her choker is removed. While she is topless for much of the film, in most cases the image quality is so bad you can't really tell. Her father, and several other people travel in search of an elixir of youth for the queen, and have one misadventure after another.
The film was mostly shot in the director's home. Were the image quality even marginally acceptable, this might have bad movie appeal and a cult following, but, as it is, it is an F.

MOVIES:
The Prime Gig
is a surprisingly good movie with a surprisingly
good cast (Vince Vaughn, Ed Harris, Julia Ormond) for a film that never made it
into the theaters. More important, it marked Julia Ormond's return to nudity.
She's been out of the limelight for a while, and her features have changed
significantly. If I hadn't read it on the box, I wouldn't have recognized
Sabrina. Welcome back, Julia.
Intersection
is a 12-hankie weepy-ass dyin' man movie with Richard Gere, who makes a
watchable movie about as often as Freddie Prinze, Jr. In fact, I think Prinze
might consider changing his name to Richard Gere, Jr. This was a strange one.
Written by a comedy writer who wanted to try his hand at drama, it features a
grade-z script, and acting to match, but top notch cinematography from Vilmos
Zsigmond.

The following 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 I inexplicably determined
there might be something of interest.
- A blue asterisk indicates the review is written by Tuna (or Lawdog or
Junior or C2000 or Realist or ICMS or somebody else besides me)
- If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too ashamed to admit it.
