"The New Eve" (1999)
The New Eve (La Nouvelle Ève,1999) proves that, just because a movie is French and has sub-titles, doesn't automatically make it a masterpiece. Having said that, the film can not be easily dismissed, primarily because of the performance of Karin Viard. Karin plays, Camille, a 30 something Parisian who is dedicated to a life of booze, parties, drugs and debauchery, but has began to realize that her life is empty and meaningless. She has also become clinically depressed, with wild mood
swings. Everything changes when she meets Alexis (played by Pierre-Loup Rajot). She falls instantly in love with him, then finds out he is married. Even that does not dissuade her.
She becomes his mistress, but that is not an easy role, especially for her. Finally, in desperation, she marries someone else. Then Alexis's is divorced by his wife, who found out about the affair. Unlike most French love stories, the two end up together. The film was beautifully made, and
Viard put her entire being into a great performance. The only problem was a trite plot that would have needed stretching for a 30 minute TV show. The film is not so easy to dismiss, however. Rajot and Viard had really chemistry, and the story did explain why they were drawn to each other. She
was single, emotional, passionate, bisexual, high strung and a substance abuser. He was married, conservative (leader in the socialist party), even-tempered, straight and organized. It was the classic opposites attract.
Viard shows her ample breasts several times while making love to Rajot. Berardinelli says 2 1/2 stars, and IMDB readers agree at 5.7/10. The film did .6m in its French release.

I decided to take a brief rest from bad movies and let the other lads take over the movie scene for a couple days. (Do you believe it? The last several reviews at scoopy.com were written by other guys. Anyway, in the immortal words of Ah-nuld "I'll be back".) For now, I worked on catching up a bit on the archives.

The snow is coming down and so it seems the right time to post a few scans.
For starters we have Cameron Richardson, major babe.

Catalina Maya, Argentine model, follows close behind. For those of who love the naughty school girl look there's something to stare at.

Brit actress Anna Friel is scrawny but pretty and partially clothed.
Antonella Mosetti is not scrawny... is pretty... and is not clothed at all.
Okay, so now let's stop foolin' around. Bring out the really, really nekkid babes.
Chisa Aizawa is a nude model from the land of the rising sun. I take it I am not alone in finding large-breasted Japanese women to be major league attractive. Natural bod, too. No robo-hooters (a term which, if we all decide to use, could take its place in the American English lexicon).

Lisa Forward was a page 3 babe and I think appeared in a bunnymag pub a while back. Very very nice rack.
Amanda Dawkins has not appeared on page 3 of anything like a newspaper; she is a pornstar. A terrific natural looking pornstar. Which means she comes from the U.K. and not the U.S.

Rose McGowan fans should appreciate Brandy. This is the pastiest white skin I've ever seen on late night. A far cry from the usual over-tanned bimbos.
Breast exposure, plus a hint of pubes in scenes from "Sensual Friends"

Lot's of breast and pelvic exposure, plus a wide variety of simulated sex in these scenes from "Passion Cove". Skinemax fans might be surprised to see real breasts here. Don't be alarmed, sometimes this happens, everything will be ok. But just in case you start to feel a little lightheaded, just click on Griffin Drew, Lisa Boyle, or Jenna Bodnar again.

Fully nude of course, but only breasts are visible in these sex scenes from "Ancient Desires".

| Helena Bonham Carter |
Well, sorta. The nudity in this scene from "Fight Club" is actually a combination of Helena, a body double, and a computer animated person having sex.

Brief breast exposure in 1989's "Dead Calm".

Partial side breast exposure from the original "Candyman" (1992).

If Robo-hooters are your thing, do not pass up these images of Kim from 1994's "Sexual Outlaws"
| Elfi Eschke |
In the tub in scenes from the 1997 German movie "Eine Fast perfekte Scheidung". Fair warning, Elfi has eaten her fair share of strudel, and is not exactly in centerfold shape.
| Veronica Ferres |
Frontal nudity from "Die Braut" (1999). Once again, another woman who has had second and third helpings of sauerbraten.

A whole mess of 'caps from "Bedazzled". Liz seems to have more costume changes in this movie then 4 or 5 Broadway shows combined. Of course there is no nudity, but Liz does show quite a bit of cleavage. Plus there is a little something for everyone as Liz climbs into a cheerleader outfit (link #4), a school girl out fit (link #7), leather (link #2), and and couple of bikinis (links 5 and 10).
My personal picks are Links 2,4,5,9 and 10
