"The Substitute 4: Failure is not an Option"
The Substitute 4: Failure is not an Option (2001) was funded by HBO, and has Treat Williams reprising his role yet again. This time, however, he is not kicking minority ass in inner city schools. He is asked by a General friend to go undercover at the Georgia Military Academy where his grandson is a student. Seems that the school has radically changed character with a new commandant, and his grandson has broken off contact after becoming a member of the elite "Werewolf Squad." It soon becomes obvious that the commandant, Patrick Kilpatrick, is a white supremacist training his own private army to attack minority businesses. Treat becomes involved with the school doctor, Angie Everhart, meets the other two men that have also infiltrated the school, and investigates. Of course there is the inevitable showdown.
Everhart shows breasts in two awkward sex scenes. One-time wonder, K.C. Powe also shows breasts in a sex scene that was much more explicit before the MPAA had its way with the film. IMDb readers give it 4.3. With a female breast count of for, some good performances, and some nice martial arts action, it is diverting enough that I was not tempted to fast forward. This is a C.

9 Songs (2004):
More of Margo Stilley in the arty hardcore porn flick directed by
mainstream director Michael Winterbottom. Not too much sex today,
but still plenty of nudity. Much smaller clips today.
Submerged (2005):
Totally silly Steven Seagal movie, a failure even by Seagal's lax
standards, but I had fun rippin' on it. Since many pictures are
involved, read the review at the Movie House
- Opening credits nudity (1,

Devour (2005):
At first, this film seemed to have some potential. Some pretty
good young actors get the film started promisingly in what seems to
be a scary variation on "the online game can draw you in, control
you, then kill you" plot. The film manages to generate some suspense
by manipulating the kids into a state where they have waking
nightmares in which they commit horrible acts ordered by the game.
The cool, albeit sometimes irritating, thing about that is that they
don't know whether they actually committed the acts, because some
are real, and some nightmares. The audience gets tricked in both
directions. After seeing a couple of grisly acts that turned out to
be nightmares, I thought another one was a nightmare, only to find
it was real. Yes, I know that's kind of a cheap and confusing
device, but it worked - well, once, anyway.
Except then the entire movie sort of merges into a Satanic
version of The Last Starfighter, where Lucifer is using the online
game, The Pathway, to determine which humans would make ideal
candidates for his A-Team. Up through that point the film is still
kind of interesting, but there is an ongoing hint that something
will eventually go very wrong when we see mysterious unexplained
flashbacks of people running through the woods and men walking
around in black porcupine costumes.
And then everything does go wrong. It turns out that the entire
game was designed for one kid. It seems that the lad was promised to
Satan when he was born, but some do-gooders interrupted the ritual,
and Satan and the kid's mom have been trying to re-claim him ever
since. Or something like that. The whole resolution seemed to be
maddeningly cryptic and vague. I'm sure the game must have been
relevant somehow, but I lost interest in the film when the guy in
the porcupine costume showed up. I think that was supposed to be
Satan, but I don't know or care. There are a lot of bodies, and it
finally seems to be one of those Angel Heart things where it turns
out that the kid trying to solve the murders actually committed all
of the murders himself.
Or did he?

Latino Review has a few interesting new teaser posters.
Here is their accompanying blurb:
- "First up we've got a teaser poster for 16 BLOCKS, starring
BRUCE WILLIS and MOS DEF: Film follows a misanthropic, depressed
cop who has to accompany a cheerful loser along 16 blocks in New
York City to a courthouse to make sure nothing happens. Of
course, many things do. Next, LONELY HEARTS starring John
Travolta and Salma Hayek: Based on the true story of the 1940s'
Lonely Hearts Killers, this detective drama focuses on the two
homicide detectives who eventually brought the killers — Martha
Beck and Raymond Martinez Fernandez, who lured victims using
personal ads — to justice. We also got BASIC INSTINCT 2: RISK
ADDICTION, starring Sharon Stone and David Morrissey. The film
follows Sharon Stone's Catherine Tramell who relocates from San
Francisco to London and quickly finds herself on the wrong side
of the law. And END GAME starring Cuba Gooding Jr: A Secret
Service agent (Cuba Gooding Jr.) partners with a reporter (Angie
Harmon) to uncover a conspiracy to assassinate the president.
Finally THE WICKER MAN starring Nicolas Cage: In this remake of
the 1973 flick, a sheriff tries to discover what happened to a
young girl who has disappeared on an island off the coast of
Maine. Things turn strange when he discovers a creepy neo-pagan
society, the members of which may or may not have sacrificed the
girl in a ritual."

- Regular readers know that I used to live and work in Norway,
where nothing ever happens. The front page of the Oslo newspaper
used to contain stories about trivial matters like
purse-snatchings at the airport. Oh, that we all should live in

Today's earth-shattering headline:
"Temperatures rise over soccer bread" ... "a bake shop
employee has received death threats for selling Vålerenga-brand
bread in Lillestrøm country. Tone Melgård of Baker Nordby said the
bakery was taking the situation seriously and was considering
filing a police report." Where else can it make the headlines when
somebody is "considering" filing a police report?

unwisely heeds the advice of Belgian lunatic Boris and treks off
into the night. He's looking for a well-off-the-beaten-path
little hotel... and boy does he find it. Nestled firmly in the
middle of Inbred County, Belgium, is the Hotel Bartel. The owner
is a lonely little freak, but Marc thinks nothing of the dank
desolation before settling in for an overnight stay. Mr. Bartel
promises to have Marc's van up and running in short order, but
we all know that's not very likely. Marc spends his afternoon
wandering the countryside, and he soon comes across a barn in
which several gibbering goons are having sex with livestock. He
heads back to the hotel. Before too long, Marc realizes that Mr.
Bartel (and the perpetually popping-up Boris) are more than a
little off their respective rockers, and he decides to hit the
road, period. Big mistake, Marc. Seems that the whacked-out
hotel-master has grown, shall we say 'attached', to his current
visitor. Thus begins a descent into nastiness that involves
handcuffs, bear traps, shorn scalps and rape.

'Caps and comments by Hankster:
Today we have "Hankster Light" and a "Babe in Bondage" all rolled into one.
Today it's Gladys Jimenez in a straight to video release called "Bound by Lies". She gives us great boobs fresh out of the shower and trying to seduce her husband. Then some cleavage in a sexy blouse, and finally all tied up by the bad guy. She's fully clothed, but look for the pokies :-)
Not a great movie, but not all that bad either.

"National Lampoon's Barely Legal" (2003) aka "After School Special" aka
"Almost Legal"
A North-American/German production which is a
sex comedy about a bunch of high school students
who recruit strippers to make porn movies.
It's still awaiting a North American release
although it did get a crucial MPAA R-rating
for being very naughty. However it is available on
DVD in Germany as Almost Legal next to the
shyster videos.

The horrible creature effects (links 6-7) have earned this flick a little bit of cult status among genre fans (enough to have two sequels made), but personally I didn't 'get it'. However, Smith did look good nekkid!

MICHAEL JACKSON TRIAL UPDATE
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... - Private eye Gordon Novel, who says Michael Jackson
stiffed him for a $5,000 fee, told Vanity Fair that Michael is "scared
silly" and kept asking him what prison is like and if he can he watch TV
and movies there, and poutily demanding that he "stop this show" (the
trial). He said Michael believes he's on trial because the DA, the judge
and Sony Records conspired to take away his Beatles song rights. Novel
told him if he wants to be acquitted, stop wearing clothes and makeup that
make him look like a weirdo pedophile, go out with girls and stop fooling
around with kids. Michael said, "No, I just want to be me."
A weirdo pedophile, and proud of it!
Michael has a secret legal strategy: If the jury says he's guilty, he'll
pull out a remote and change channels.
He's terrified of prison, but he wouldn't mind going to juvie.
Novel told him that prison is like "Oz," and Michael said, "Goody! Can
I be the Wizard?!"
NEWS OF THE PAINFULLY OBVIOUS
From The Journal "Duh" - In a year-long study, Kansas State University
masters student Courtney Fea found that compliments make women feel better.
It took only one compliment a day to improve test subjects' mood, and it
didn't matter if they were complimented on their bodies or their
personalities.
So if you want to compliment a woman, say she has a "great personality."
It also didn't matter if they deserved it.
How did they react to "You don't sweat much for a fat chick"?
Researchers Are Such Geeks - A University of Virginia study found that
popular "cool" teenagers are more likely to drink, smoke pot, shoplift and
vandalize things than less popular teens, such as geeks.
But geeks would do it, if they thought it would make them popular.
The researchers conducted the study by watching "Grease" five times.
SLATER CHARGED WITH GROPING, DEFENDED BY STRIPPERS
Good Christian - Christian Slater was charged with groping a woman late at
night on a New York street, but strippers from the Scores club told the New
York Post they believe it's a false accusation. They say he never touches
them, even when they're waving their bare 36-Ds in his face. He just
compliments them and is a perfect gentleman.
That's why they call it a "gentleman's club": because it's filled with
perfect gentlemen.
He knows that compliments make a woman feel better.
Maybe he grabbed the plaintiff's breast because he'd never felt real
ones before.
"AMERICAN IDOL" UPDATE: BO OUTSELLING CARRIE
His Is On-Key - Adding fuel to Internet rumors that "American Idol 4" was
rigged, loser Bo Bice's single of "Inside Your Heaven" and "Vehicle," which
won't be released until late July, is already #1 at Barnes & Noble from
advance orders. Winner Carrie Underwood's version of "Inside Your Heaven"
and "Independence Day" is only #16.
And Ryan Seacrest's version is #12,403.
And now, Simon Cowell will have to order 24 million copies of Carrie's
CD.
This is the first time a pretty, blonde, white girl from Oklahoma knows
it feels to be Ruben Studdard.
If that hideous song is #1, the charts must be rigged.
