Beverly Hills Bordello: Taboo

(1998)

A woman is attracted to a female fellow employee, and logs on to the bordello's cybersex line to explore her feelings. She tries a date with her boss, who has a thing for her, but finds herself fantasizing about the other woman. Finally recognizing that sometimes, only a woman will do, she ends up getting together with the other woman.

I find these shorts much more entertaining than 90 minute softcores with 89 minutes of simulated sex. The desire between the women is well-acted, and all three actresses are appealing in both appearance and personality.

Elaine Davis and Denise Samson show everything. Elina Madison shows breasts.

Sole Survivor

(1983)

With a theme that probably influenced 2000's Final Destination, 1983's Sole Survivor is not nearly as high-action or exciting, but it's still a pretty good story.

A TV producer (Anita Skinner) is the only survivor of an airliner crash, and she walks away with minor bruises.

At first, Denise seems fine, but eventually she becomes overcome by feelings of guilt at being the only survivor. As she tries to get on with her life, she begins to see people who seem to be following her. Then she finds out that the people she has supposedly seen are newly deceased. Are they sent by Death to collect on a debt?

As I said, somewhat similar in theme to the movie that followed it, but much more low-key, however, it also had a young Brinke Stevens doing a strip-poker scene that pretty much can only be described as gratuitous nudity, so that raised the interest level somewhat. Not a bad flick.
