Maisie Undercover: Coed Desires

(2006)

Coed Desires (2006) is the second of three softcore "Maisie" films. Maisie is an ex-cop. She is no longer with the force due to some shooting incident which resulted in the death of her female partner. She now owns and operates a bar which is sort of a college hangout. One of her waitresses had sex in the common room of a dorm, was photographed, and is now being blackmailed. Maisie can't resist getting involved, much to the dismay of both her cop ex-husband and her new boyfriend, an FBI agent. She solves the blackmail mystery in short order, but uncovers something much bigger in the process, and, of course, won't leave it alone.

You may have noticed that that plot description is longer than most I write for soft core efforts. The answer is simple. This one actually had a plot. Further, the characters are all three- dimensional.  Despite a full plot, the film doesn't skimp on the nudity or simulated sex, and the women have real breasts, which is always a plus. As is often the case in "couples erotica," the sex scenes are more from the women's point of view, and the women are all strong characters.

There is full-frontal nudity from from Christine Nguyen, Staci Thorn, Kirstin Price, Michelle Maylene and Charlie White.

Recommended as couples soft-core erotica.

Gross Misconduct

(1993)

Jimmy Smits plays a philosophy professor at a distinguished Australian university. He is happily married with two kids, and is the darling of the student body. The only downside of his existence is that many of the coeds have crushes on him. Naomi Watts is one of them. She is also his best student, and babysits for his two kids all the time. When she starts trying to seduce him, he calls her to his office to explain why she needs to leave his class and won't be able to babysit. She throws a fit, he subdues her, and then she seduces him. Later, she is taken to a hospital a little beat up, likely raped, but with no memory of what happened. Determined police work and the prodding of her father finally convince her that the professor raped her, and charges are brought. The case is complicated by two other sexual encounters detailed in her diary.

While the film does turn into a courtroom procedural, enough is going on that it never becomes static and boring. The characters are well developed and well acted. This is a watchable as a drama and, since the ending was a total surprise to me, better than watchable as a mystery.

Naomi Watts shows breasts in three scenes, and her character shows full frontal behind a gauze shower curtain.

Hannah Takes the Stairs

(2007)

This drama is considered "mumble core." Mumble core, for those that don't know (and I sure as hell didn't), is a low budget amateur or independent movie that, because of bad or no production values, has poor sound, or actors that don't bother to enunciate their words, or, as is the case in this film, both. It's now considered an amateur/independent film movement.

Hannah (Greta Gerwig) is a college grad intern at a Chicago production company. After a mutual breakup with her boyfriend, she develops crushes on two writers at work, who also happen to be close friends with one another.

Basically, the film asks and answers the question of what will happen if she has a relationship with one or the other, or even both?

The film was shot digitally without a script, and it feels like it. It almost seems like they just stuck cameras in every room and lived their lives. I say almost because the photography was shaky and zoomy, something that wouldn't have happened if the guy running the camera had bought a $50.00 tripod and kept his cotton-pickin' hands off the zoom button. This isn't a terrible movie. Parts of it are interesting and amusing although it tends to drag, but basically, what they wound up with was a mundane and somewhat boring look at the mundane lives of mundane people. It feels real enough, and it's harmless, but at the end, you'll wonder: why bother?

Two collages of a gal named Aubrey O'Day who sings in a group called Danity Kane - and that is the sum total of what I know about her - other than what you can see for yourself.
