  • And here's the stuff you probably want to see: Kate Winslet in "Hideous Kinky"
  • Kate Winslet in "Marrakesh Express" (aka "Marrakesch", aka "Hideous Kinky"). Enlarged single frame. Did you remember Winslet is only 23? She seems older, looks older to me.

  • 9 1/2 Weeks
  • Haven't heard from The Realist in a couple weeks. Upon his return he shows up not with his usual Asian art film or something, but Kim Basinger in "9 1/2 Weeks". And then he goes and violates the Prime Directive and includes Mickey Rourke in the shots. I had to admit that Rourke looked pretty good then. In fact, weird as it seems, he might have looked good with a shave and a good haircut. The idea of him being a corporate exec looking and acting like this, however, is pretty much of a stretch on your credulity. There are some sexy scenes in this film, although Adrian Lyne is capable of much more (Jacob's Ladder is one of my favorite movies). Let's cut to the chase. My vote for the sexiest screen moment ever. The rain scene. The cunnilingus portion.
  • The rain scene. Kim from the side rear, showing .... you'll see
  • The rain scene. Kim on her back. Covered, but sexier than any nude
  • Kim in bed
  • Kim in bed, and getting out of bed.
  • The roof-top strip sequence. Kinda dark, unfortunately.
  • The roof-top strip, one full frame
  • Sexy. Kim uses the light to show him the outline of her body beneath her clothing.
  • Crow
  • This guy and Scanman are machines. How do they do so much every week? Here's Shannon Whirry in "Fatal Pursuit". I'd love to tell you about this movie, but I can't based upon our official site charter, which forbids me to discuss movies with Whirry and Wuhrer (the so-called Wild W clause), and forbids Jr to discuss movies directed by Tarkovsky or starring Max Van Sydow. (You'll be pleased and relieved to know that there is a rider clause in the Sydow paragraph which allows both of us to discuss Strange Brew. How about a Molson's, eh?)

  • Kristy Swanson in "Supreme Sanction". Do you think these guys like Crow and Anonymous Guy and The Cable Guy actually watch these things? Kristy didn't even get naked. How'd you like to sit through 90 minutes of this crap and find out the women stayed dressed? That'd make ya mad. That'd make ya mean mad, Muley.
  • Kristy Swanson in "Supreme Sanction". Not naked.
  • Sunday's Stuff
    In the Mailbox
  • This from The Anonymous Guy (Well, I guess it's from him. After all, it's hard to tell because he is anonymous.): "Valerie Bertinelli did a nude scene in a film called Ordinary Heroes. Ever see it?" No, I haven't. The Bare Facts has this to say: at 28 minutes into the movie, "Brief silhouette of breast in a darkened room backlit by window, when she takes off her blouse while on top of Richard Dean Anderson in bed". Feedback or caps from anyone?
  • This from The IWZ Newsboard: "I'm sure everyone knows that Chastity was in an adult movie entitled Live Bait ... well, there are some rumors going around that the scene from that movie was taken from another adult movie she starred in. The other movie is titled Porn in the USA" OK, guys, any feedback?

  • Event Horizon
  • Once upon a time there were two movies, both considered masterpieces of their genre. One was callied "Alien", a brilliantly realized SF/Horror film from Ridley Scott, about a deep space mission that brought back an unwanted visitor. The other film was called "Solaris", about a deep space mission that caused the crew to exhibit psychotic behavior and keep living out scenes from their earth life. Solaris, an intellectual film from the Soviet-era genius Andrei Tarkovsky, son of the brilliant but largely untranslated poet Arseny Tarkovsky, is the more complex film. It is not explained whether the hallucinations are caused by an external force, space fever, passage into a time-space warp, or just the fact that you can't ever run from yourself, not matter how far you go. No monsters.

    "Event Horizon" is a cross breed between these two legendary deep-space films. The monster is there, but it inhabits the minds of the crew, learns everything about them, every fear, every memory, and causes their insanity. The idea was pretty damned good, the special effects and visuals were brilliant, and they hired a good cast. Some of the moments will scare the beejeepers out of you. But they went over the top in some ways. Too many explosions (you know those Yanks)- a fist-fight with the monster, what's that all about? - too many empty-headed discussions about what man was or wasn't meant to know - and ultimately too little really original. Reviewers were sharply divided on this film. Some said it was a truly brilliant scare-fest, others thought is was a zero-star waste of their precious time. I don't know. It isn't Alien or Solaris, but it has a lot of positives.

    By the way, don't go out and rent Solaris because of what I've said. Although film critics have a way of giving Solaris a lot of stars, I always caution people that it is almost unwatchable for the average viewer. Let me tell you a story. I re-watched Tarkovsky's "Nostalgiya" recently in fast forward, at 4X speed. Even at that, the actors seem to be moving in slow motion. And I'm not joking. This is literally true. Tarkovsky's concept of a two hour film is two minutes worth of plot, two minutes worth of action, a little bit of philosophical dialogue, and 116 minutes worth of atmosphere. Brilliant imagery and mood, but pacing so languid he makes an Ingmar Bergman movie seem like MTV. Here's Holley Chant in "Event Horizon"

  • Holley Chant, with the antichrist guy, in "Event Horizon". Roger Ebert had a funny line about this movie - plenty of foreboding, plenty of afterboding, but not enough actual boding.
  • Holley Chant in "Event Horizon". Speaking of the antichrist, Sam Neill, the dependable veteran uses a Kiwi accent in this movie (maybe his natural speech?). First time I've ever heard him actually sound like he comes from the Antipodes. He's a New Zealander.
  • Joely Richardson in "Event Horizon". No nudity. What is wrong with that director? Hiring Joely and keeping her dressed the entire movie? What was he thinking of? A gorgeous Joely can be seen very naked in Drowning by Numbers and Lady Chatterley
  • Mongoose
  • Mongoose came up with quite a find here. Ewa Aulin in "Start the Revolution Without Me". Aulin is the actress who starred while still a teenager opposite show business legends like Charles Aznavour, Richard Burton and Marlon Brando in "Candy". "Start the Revolution" was her next movie, and it was an odd one. Gene Wilder plays identical twins, Donald Sutherland plays identical twins, Orson Welles lends some presence. My college roommate swore that this was a terrific movie, and I trusted his taste, but I never got to see it. (Some reviewers ripped it a new one, by the way.) It is now largely forgotten. Until this moment. Miss Aulin was out of show business before she turned 24. I suspect she's now working as a clerk at one of those Shell Select shops in Jonkoping.
  • Neith Hunter in "Gentlemen's Bet"
  • Neith Hunter in "Gentlemen's Bet"
  • Betsy Monroe in "Gentlemen's Bet"
  • Peggy Trentini in "Vampirella"
  • Corinna Harvey in "Vampirella"
  • Shannon Fabal in "Jack Frost". I had a friendly argument with my daughter, Katya, about this film. She just kept saying "this is dumb", and I was laughing through most of the movie and telling her it was brilliant. She was right. She wanted to see a scary movie and this was dumb. It was designed to be dumb. Woman locks door to keep out evil snowman, dramatic music, sight of water under door (oh, no, he's gonna melt his way in, she realizes). Cut to the face of a silly Frosty-lookin'-guy and woman now dead. Oh, yeah, the joke did wear a little thin, I admit. I got bored with it after a while. You do have to love any movie which dares to show the only known screen instance of a woman being raped by a snowman (pictured here by Mongoose). You have to look just to see the silly face on the Snowman. You can't blame the Snowman for going after a little strange. After all, his wife is frigid.
  • PAL
  • Another terrific selection from PAL, who is always looking for the rare and unusual. Anna Zinnemann in "Goodbye and Amen"
  • Jennifer Inch in "State Park". I loved her duet with Pat Boone. Wait, maybe I'm thinking of State Fair. "State Park" is an obscure Rafal Zielinski movie (Ginger Ale Afternoon, Last Resort), and I don't even know how PAL got a copy. Miss Inch started with a recurring role in the two series about Anne of Green Gables, but it was downhill from there, and this appears to be her last flick. OK, Karaoke time, "our state park is a great state park .... take it, Pat".
  • Gina LaMarca in "Exit". What profession do you think her character has in this movie? Let's see, implants, topless, pole and mirrors, garter belt full of money ... I have to go with New Orleans Traffic Cop. (OK, she could be an existential philosopher, but I had to trust my gut feeling. I love it when one existentialist comes up with a really good way to define the nature of existence, and all the others put dollar bills in his or her garter belt. I love to call one of them over to my table for twenty bucks and get a "Lap Thought")
  • whatever profession Gina LaMarca was in "Exit", I think it's probably a safe bet that Shannon Whirry was in the same biz.
  • Lonette McKee in "Jungle Fever". Is Wesley Snipes in every movie?
  • Debbie Rochon in "Abducted II: The Wrath of Khan". Wait, check that. The REUNION of Khan. (Reunion, wrath, what's the difference? Did you remember that a certain space movie was originally supposed to be called "The Revenge of the Jedi"?) Those Khan family reunions were always filled with Kodak moments. I guess my favorite part is when they all place those little bugs in each other's ears, and drink away merrily, and just have a good ol' family laugh.
  • RDO
  • Something a little different from RDO this week, a Potpourri from different films. Here's Jennifer Jason-Leigh in Mrs Parker and the Vicious Circle

  • back in the days when I started this page, Jennnifer Connelly was probably the most-pictured celebrity. Her career is kinda cold at this moment. Here's her most famous nude scene in "The Hot Spot". Those of you from Austin, Texas: the other woman is Debra Cole, zany morning radio person.

    Johnny Web
  • Web checked in today with two recent efforts. The first is Jennifer Love Hewitt in ISKWYDLSAFSIDGAD. She did not show anything in the movie, but here's the most revealing scenes. Here she is in her bikini underwear in the tanning bed.
  • Here's JLH in a white shirt. NOTE: I know it looks like a nipple, but it is not. It is a shadow. She had a bra on beneath the shirt
  • No bra here. You can't see much, but there's some interesting action beneath her robe.
  • This is not a Johnny Web cap. It's from RJL. I think it shows the robe off better. Note that the wet robe almost seems to show her nipples right through the fabric.
  • Fairuza Balk in "American History X". When Norton was so good in Primal Fear, I thought it was just good casting. When he brought so much charm to his relatively insignificant role in Flynt, I was becoming a skeptical believer. He won me completely in this one. It just seems that he brings a humanity and naturalness to every role. Very impressive actor. Fairuza hasn't done badly either. Look at her early work, like Valmont, and contrast that to her tough-girl parts like this. She's shown some real range.

  • Jupiter
  • Jupiter is the newest planet in our celeb vidcapping universe, but he came up with some terrific surprises for a new kid. I can't remember ever seeing these caps of Julie Andrews in "Duet for One". She was 51 when she did this topless scene. It's not all that explicit, but it's clear, and she looks good.
