"Twilight" (1998)
Twilight (1998) is a boring and predictable gumshoe whodunnit, but with enough talent in the cast to make it almost watchable. Paul Newman shines as an ex cop, ex private dick, ex drunk, and old friend (and house guest) of Susan Sarandon and Gene Hackman. As the film opens, he is on assignment to bring their daughter, Reese Witherspoon, back from Mexico. We see her in well lit topless exposure before Newman grabs her, and gets shot for his trouble. All of tis before the opening credits. Newman is asked to deliver a small package by Hackman, and runs headlong into murder, revenge,
blackmail, and ancient crimes.
There is nothing particularly new about the mostly predictible plot, but the cast is good enough that the film almost works. Maltin and Berardinelli agree at 2 1/2, Ebert says 2. IMDB readers agree with Ebert at 6.1/10. Apollo says 78, but Apollo readers say 64. US gross was $15.03m. The film
has style and acting, but no real substance. I award a C-.

I looked at the new 2-disk set of The
Doors. It's about time they did justice to this movie with a special edition. The film is completely unaffected by the re-issue. It's the same print as on the original DVD, but the highlight of the new material is 43 minutes of deleted scenes, which makes
this a must-see if you like the movie.
There is also a full-length Oliver Stone commentary (Stone is always interesting), and documentary on Jim Morrison, "The Road to Excess", which is excellent.
Deleted nude scene: (and some of Jennifer Tilly, not nude but also deleted)

TomCat looked at several films
The immortal cinema classic Huntress: Spirit of the Night. Never seen it, but the nudity is impressive. It is supposed to be on DVD, but when you click on the link, it says "currently out of print, check back from time to time". Jenna Bodnar is still around, although she now seems to be Jenna Scott from time to time.
Le Mouton Enrage - featuring nudity from Romy Schneider, Jane Birkin, and two unknowns.This movie is now on Region 2 DVD, and is available from amazon.de
Down the Ancient Staircase. An Italian movie from the 70's starring - Marcallo Mastroianni - what are the chances? TomCat had labeled the star as Barbara Bouchet, but it sure doesn't look like what I remember of Bouchet, so I didn't label the pics, and just made the file names "b". If you know who this is, please advise. This movie is not
available on video or DVD, to my knowledge.

And a European TV special about the Crazy Horse Saloon, which includes plenty of can-canning, or whatever the present participle is for the verb "to can-can", "Can-canning" sounds like a w-word from from L-Lenny in "Of Mice and Men"
- various women in the can-cannery row

Yesterday we posted a request by Celebrity Sleuth...thanks to all of those who answered the call. The question now is this..."Are these the right images?"

Wasn't able to get onto the site the Sleuth asked about yesterday, so I thought it a good idea to send all the Yamilla Diaz scans on the hard drive.
The first, third and fourth links have her in a topless state (would that be Texas? Alabama?); three and four were picked off the web and cleaned up major league. The last link has her sporting a layer of paint over her fine derriere. Hope these include the stuff Sleuth was looking for 'cuz that boy has given a lot more than he'll ever get.

Let's stick with the fashion models for a moment longer. Next, there is Laetitia Casta, who some visitors to the Funhouse might have heard of. Right! Like there is anyone who cares about nekkid celebs who doesn't know LC. Love the outfit.
And then there is Lida Egorova, who wears the thinnest clothes known to man or beast.

Switching to Italian babes, here is Angela Cavagna. Question: is there one Italian celeb of the female persuasion who hasn't posed nude?
On to Scandinavian cross-over movie babes, with the best of the best: Izabella Scorupco, formerly a Bond babe in GoldenEye.
Just to show that not all the revealing clothing goes into the closet after the Grammies, here is Mya at the Soul Train get together.
And we close things today with page 3 babe, Karen White. Reminds me of characters in two classic movies: 1) Munchkin doctor in The Wizard of Oz: "She's not only really nude, she's really most sincerely nude." and 2) Japanese strip club patron in Showgirls: "Everyone in America (he meant
England) is a gynecologist."

This week's theme...some good ol' American babes.
| | Bo Derek |
From 2000's straight-to-vid movie, "Frozen with Fear". In these 'caps we see plenty of genuine cleavage, but the bum and partial breast exposure could be a stunt butt. (her face is not visible) Although Bo has stayed in great shape all of these years so I would not be surprised to see her still taking it all off.
| | Denice Duff |
Breast exposure from 1995's "Phoenix". (not to be confused with the 1998 movie named "Phoenix" with Ray Liotta, Anjelica Huston, and a lesser Baldwin.)
B-movie buffs probably recognize Denice from her recurring role in the "Subspecies" series of movies.

Breast exposure in 1996's "Persons Unknown"

Pre-Travolta topless scenes from 1985's "Secret Admirer".

Topless in the tub in scenes from the UK series "In a Land of Plenty". Thanks to C2000 for the 'caps.

Full frontal nudity by the former adult actress. Not sure of the source, but great quality 'caps by HBS Grafix..
| | Fiona Gillies |
Topless in the tub. Scenes from the UK mini series, "Mother Love" (1989). Great 'caps by Watty.
