"Tuno negro"
Tuno negro (2001), or Dark Minstrel, is a thriller set in Spanish universities, and has been compared to Scream, and others of the genre. Early tunos were less affluent students who banded together and sang to make a little extra money to pay for their studies. The idle rich found that it was fun, and formed tunos that were really more like social fraternities. The original tunos formed the Tuno Negro to eliminate the false tunos, who were usually bad students, wasting University resources. All of this was hundreds of years ago. Now, either a serial killer is on the loose, or someone has revived the Tuno Negro, as the worst students are being murdered on exam days.
The new Tuno Negro communicates with the person who will be the final victim via Internet chat, and uses mini-cam video to show the crimes and induce fear. It looks like the next victim will be Alex, played by Silke, who has become the contact point for Tuna Negro. Several members of a medical Tuno try to help her, as does a special police investigator, whom she sleeps with. Silke shows breasts, and is seen in bra and panties, and an unidentified woman is shown topless early in the film.
IMDB has this at 4.3 of 10, with most of the negative comments saying it is too much derivative of the US slasher genre. I may be one of the few to enjoy it, although it probably helped that the locations and customs were new to me, which gave the film a certain newness. I also thought they had the gore level about right, and didn't overdo the suspense, making it too exhausting. The surprise ending did, in fact, surprise me. I am fast becoming a Silke fan. and, since she averages two films a year, will probably be doing more of her work. I think this is a solid genre effort, and the proper score is C.

"Tierra"
Tierra (1996) is written and directed by Julio Medem, who can be compared to David Lynch in that he tackles complex themes and feelings in his own, nearly surrealist fashion. He directed La Ardilla Roja which we covered a few days ago, but this is a far more interesting film. Carmelo Gómez plays Ángel Bengoelxeo, a man who was treated in a mental hospital for multiple personality disorder, but who thinks of himself as just a very complex person with lots of imagination. He speaks with his alter ego, and angel, frequently. He has been hired to rid a small farming community of a woodlice, which are giving the wine made there an earthy flavor. He finds himself drawn both to Angela (the counterpart of his alter ego), played by Emma Suárez, and to a young, wanton and rebellious Mari, played by Silke.
Just for good measure, he deals with lightening strikes, a wild bore hunt, deaths and suicides. This is a film which speaks on several levels, and nearly defies description, Visually, it is stunning, with amazing scenics of the farm country and equally interesting interiors. More important to us, it features the German/Spanish Silke in two nude scenes, where she shows everything. IMDB readers have this at 7.5 of 10, and it is one of Félix's favorite Spanish films. I am inclined to agree. It is beautifull, yet deep, and will bear many watchings. Yes, it is an art film, but, I think, has enough pure entertainment value to satisfy most people. B.

Four Rooms is one of those
loosely connected anthologies where four different directors directed the four
segments. 0% positive reviews, $4 million at the box - kinda says it all.
- Ione Skye, if you didn't know it, is the daughter of the ultimate hippie,
the wimpy soft-voiced Donovan - yup, the Mellow Yellow, Catch the Wind guy.

Insomnia is the new flick
with Al Pacino and Mork from Orc. There is nudity, but I don't have a bootleg,
so no captures. I actually saw this at a theater! In general, I'm not a great
fan of remakes. I like Cameron Crowe, for example, but I don't really see how Vanilla Sky
is an improvement over Abre Los Ojos. Insomnia, however, is a terrific movie,
and I wrote a lengthy commentary.
This Insomnia is the 1997
Norwegian flick upon which the new Pacino film is based.

The Sun, the greatest newspaper in creation except for Weekly World News,
presents a handy introduction to
topless yoga.
In fact, the Sun has declared it topless yoga week, an event I have to
rate slightly higher than The Year of the Woman in global significance. As a
public service, we are reporting that, in celebration of topless yoga
week, all schools and government offices will be closed in the UK this week,
and your long distance calls to the UK will be forwarded to Latvia. Enjoy the
award-winning songs!

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.

Also from "Mascara", Ione goes topless in several scenes. This movie doesn't seem to currently be available on VHS or DVD, so kudos to Enigma for the great find.

Scoop,
Today's "Babe in Bondage" is Roberta Collins in "Women in Cages". She is stripped nekkid and bound to a spinning wheel, then burned with a hot pitch fork.
Also some more sexy "Babes in Peril" from those old time Detective magazine covers.

Twenty-five Things you should have learned by the time you have reached middle age:
1. If you're too open-minded, your brains will fall out.
2. Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian; any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.
6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.
8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.
9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.
10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.
11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.
12. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.
13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.
14. Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it.
15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.
16. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.
17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places.
18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
19. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.
20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.
21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.
23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.
24. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.
25. It ain't the jeans that make your butt look fat.

An Australian TV show is letting a hot blonde in tight clothes introduce Bugs Bunny cartoons. Throw in free pizza delivery and that would pretty much be my idea of Heaven, but some idiots are actually upset about it.
