"Sunshine" (2000)
Scoopy wrote the ultimate review of this beautiful film (see the review archive) and had it exactly right. He rated it C+, as it was his type of genre, and he was not sure of crossover appeal. It is not my sort of genre, and I liked it very much, despite its three hour running time and frequent voice-over. Hungry has been added to my list of travel destinations based on the locations and photography. Rachel Weisz is seen topless in a very dark bed scene. Not only is it dark, but it is actually a slow dissolve to a two-up head shot. She also has a couple of good see-throughs. Debra Unger is bottomless leaned up against a tree, just before Ralph Fiennes buries his head in her crotch.
There were so many lovely scenery shots, each of the six images has a different top montage. I give the film a B.

I finally looked at the unrated version of Pitch
Black. I'm not sure what they had to cut to get the R rating, but I now know it wasn't any nekkid chicks. Terrific genre picture. As junior pointed out, it seems even better because of the dreadful space pictures of the past two years. This film sure kicks the hell out of Phantom Menace, the two Mars pics, Supernova, and the movie where Tony Manero had long nose hair. Berardinelli and Ebert each gave it two stars, but that is misleading. Ebert, for example, complained about details he didn't understand. He was carping about the Darwinian impossibility of creatures that hibernate for 22 years, then come out and find no living things to eat. Of course, he wasn't even watching
the film, or he would have seen that they didn't hibernate at all. They normally lived underground, then came to the surface every 22 years. That's quite different. If he had actually watched the film, he would have seen them attack some of the humans BEFORE nightfall. They killed one and almost killed the female star.
Of course, the purpose of a scary movie is to give you a thrill, the purpose of a comedy is to make you laugh, and the purpose of a sexy movie is to give you a hard-on. Some critics are never content with a racing heart or a stiff dick. Instead, they also want to see abused children and moral lessons and people dying of cancer and defeating the Nazis.
But one thing is clear. The reviews from those guys showed that the film didn't have much crossover appeal. If you're a hardcore SF/horror nut, you should like it. It has a unique look, lots of imagination, plenty of nail-biting, and Vin Diesel. If you're a mainstream filmgoer, I guess it won't be your cup of tea. It has a middle section that I'm still undecided about. Humans have to cross some terrain at night, with the critters picking them off one by one. There's nothing
interesting in the script in that section, nothing more than what I just said, so it's all up to the director to make it thrilling. Many people say it just couldn't be done, and I'm not so sure myself. That section did seem to drag a bit at times.
Oh, my achy breaky heart. Radical Jack is a movie too strangely awful to believe. It would really have to improve to be called a grade B, but it's fundamentally a grade B remake of Road House, minus all the quirky Ben Gazzara stuff from the guy who runs the town (no stuffed animal heads throughout the house, and worst of all, no singing), and with Billy Ray Cyrus instead of Patrick Swayze. Swayze himself is no master thespian, but
compared to Billy Ray, he seems as powerful as James Earl Jones playing Frederick Douglass

Comments by Spaz:
More nudity from the cable series "Dead Man's Gun"....
Crystal Cass from "Disturbing Behavior" is topless once again as she takes a roll in the hay in episode "The Healer".
Kendall Cross undresses while the singer Meatloaf admires her butt in episode "Mail Order Bride".
Carmen Moore butt naked after skinny dipping in episode "Medicine Man".
Rebecca Reichert topless while getting seduced by hypnotist who puts her and husband into trance in episode "The Mesmeriser".
A bit of trivia here. Some hicks in Pembroke, Ontario complained to the CRTC (the Canadian equivalent of the USA's FCC) about the nudity in episode "The Mesmeriser". By a strange coincidence there is no nudity in any DMG episode after that.

The former Miss Canada showing her robo-hooters in "Sleeping Dogs" (1997). Personally I prefer April Telek.
| Rena Riffel |
From the movie "Dark Confessions" (1998). Rena appears nude in a dream sequence making love to Kate Rodger's man. Then topless in bed while breaking in new prison ward. You can
tell that she is evil because her name character's name is Erica.
| Petra Kulikova |
Topless exposure while gettin' it on in scenes from "Sleeping Dogs".
| Kira Reed |
Kira Reed playing another Erica and showing full frontal nudity in the sequel to "Chained Heat 3"..."Rage of the Innocents" aka "Chained Heat 2001".
| Eva Aichmajerova |
This is the Czech hottie's first feature role. Virtually unknown outside of Europe she has graced the cover of a euro-edition of the Hefmag. In these scenes from "Chained Heat 2001", she shows her bum,as well as her fabulous breasts. There is also a fuzzy flash of her backdoor.

| Nina Hartley |
The ancient porn star on appearing nude in "Nina's Liebesschule" (Geman TV?). In reality, 40 something isn't that old of course, and her breasts are much younger. But as the saying goes, she's been ridden hard.

A nice variety of breast and bum views in scenes from "L'Attrazione" (1987).

The ultimate rip off of a celebrity name! Maybe I'll call myself Brad Scoop-Pitt and see if I can make a few bucks making b-movies. Perhaps I can even use the name as a theme for my rip offs! For example...I can make a movies called "Brawl Club", "Kolorado" or "s6x".
Moving on...topless scenes from "L'Attrazione".

OK, you see the name Connelly and you know it will be good. But...were you expecting these? Full screen, crystal clear 'caps of Jen's breast in scenes from "Waking the Dead"! Not only a great day for Connelly fans, but a great day for all of mankind!

More excellent (and large) 'caps, this time from 1994's "The Specialist". As fate would have it, I just rented this from Netflix a few days ago. I had not seen it since I came out in the theater, and thought I'd give it a second chance. Turns out that the only thing I missed was how lame this movie was. Seriously, do actors ever bother to read the scripts of the movies they work on? And if they do, do they ever do any research? I'm no brainiac. In fact most of what I know comes from the Discovery Channel. However, I can point out hundreds of plot and factual errors. Not to mention, the just plain ol' lame stuff.
Here are a few of my favorites little things....
Rod Steiger's outrageous accent (Monty Python would be proud)
Eric Roberts is supposed to be Cuban
Sharon Stone demonstrates one of those "Everything I know I learned from the Movies" lessons. Apparently all a woman has to do in order to get into any party or event (no matter how exclusive) is to get her hair done by a pro, show up in a sexy dress, and strut down the red carpet (or whatever walkway leads to the door). Apparently this method is far superior to slipping the cooks 50 bucks, or "servicing" the door guy. A sub-rule is rule is that no matter how little time you have before the event, you can always get a perfect dress and perfect hair style, even late at night, on the weekends, and often without any money.
