"Caged Heat"

Caged Heat (1974) is a women in prison movie directed by Jonathan Demme. I has most of the usual cliches. The evil doctor who smokes a pipe, the evil female warden, shower scenes, a crazy prisoner, jailbreaks and cat fights are all present. The only thing they missed was the innocent prisoner, which is usually the main basis for the plot. In this case, all of the prisoners were guilty. The film would have been watchable if they had taken care to develop the characters, so we could understand their motivations, especially the doctor and the warden.

The tit count is very high, and there is a good deal of full frontal from unknowns. The film was made for $180k, and it shows. IMDB readers say 5.1 of 10. This was far from my favorite of the genre, but www.prisonflicks.com feels differently. I will let the nudity below speak for itself, and award a C. WIP fans will like it.

    "Ruthless People"

    Ruthless People (1986) is one of those comedies that has a gazillion plot elements to tell the story. It works anyway, largely due to the cast. Danny DeVito is plotting to kill fat, bitchy wife Bette Midler, so he can inherit her money and marry Anita Morris. Morris plans to video tape the murder to blackmail DeVito. Judge Reinhold and wife Helen Slater kidnap Middler before DeVito can kill her, but, when they threaten to kill her if he doesn't pay, his dream has come true. Morris's boyfriend video tapes the police chief with a hooker (Jeannine Bisignano) by mistake. That puts most of the elements in place, other than the bedroom killer on the loose.

    Bisignano (License to Kill, My Chauffeur) shows breasts as the hooker, but mostly on a TV screen when people watch the video tape. The film did well, with a US gross of $71.6m. DeVito received a Golden Globe nomination. IMDB readers say 6.7 of 10, which is respectable for a comedy. Ebert awards 3 1/2 stars, largely due to DeVito's performance. He points out that DeVito plays a "lovable villain" better than anyone else. This has some crossover value due to the fine performances, the art direction, and the great cinemaphotography from Jan de Bont (Die Hard / Basic Instinct / The Hunt for Red October). B-

    Scoop is taking a little time off to spend with the family. But for now....

    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 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.

    Not yet in theaters!
    From the upcoming movie "The Sweetest Thing" (due out April 12th)....no nudity, but we do get to see Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate in bikini tops and skin tight clothing. Diaz also can be seen in panties stickin her but in the air. Thanks to Catscan for the images.

    A little trivia: The movie was written by Nancy Pimental, best known as the co-host/sidekick on the Comedy Central show, "Win Ben Stein's Money". Pimental was also a writer for "South Park", and was paid 1.5 million for this screenplay. Does that mean this movie will be funny? Possibly.

    Scoop,

    Today we start to take a look at "Justine:In The Heat of Passion". This series of "The Adventures of Justine" was on German cable in the late 90's. I will leave reviews to Tuna and Scoop as they both do one hell of a job with them and most of the time I am fast fowarding through everything just to find the good stuff. However this one I actually watched.

    A great movie and great acting, no. But good mindless fun with lots of naked ladies and some nice erotic bondage scenes. Kind of reminds me of the old Saturday afternoon serials in between double features at the local movie house :-)

    Today we begin with the star of the series Daneen Boone, who actually dreams all the different adventures she is involved in with her school professor (who she has a crush on). She is kidnapped by the evil bad guy to be trained as sex slave.

    Hey Scoops,
    I just saw the preview for Jason X. Can't say that it looks too exciting but I saw that Lexa Doig and Lisa Ryder (both from the syndicated series "Andromeda") are in the film. By nature these slasher films are good for a little skin. Have you heard anything on this one? I sure would like to see one or both of them in a little less clothing.

    -Wrongway


    Jr's reply...
    Nope, haven't heard anything about "Jason X" yet, other than it's taken forvever to get released (I think the release date has changed 3 or 4 times with the original date going back over a year ago.) But in the meantime, we can tell you that the lovely Lexa Doig has taken off her clothes in two other movies: "No Alibi" and "The Tracker". So there may be hope :-)

    For now, here are few images of Lexa from those movies.


    Scoop,
    I just watched Pink's new video, and I swear that her left nipple is clearly visible twice in the final scene at the gym concert. Does anyone have 'caps of that?

    -J.


    Jr's reply...
    This is the first I've heard of it. But I do have two new scans by nmd of Pink looking pretty slutty if that helps.

    'Caps and comments by Deafbeer:

    From "The Crew". The movie itself was a C- or a D and sort of boring. A very predictable movie about old Wise Guys starring Richard Dreyfus, Burt Reynolds and Jennider Tilly.

    First up is the always bodacioius, Jennifer Tilly, playing (what else?) a stripper. She doesn't show much, but there is mega-cleavage!

    The 2nd cap is hard to identify which gal is which. According to the credits, Penelope and Christy were "girl #1 and girl #2". One of them (not sure which) is topless.
