The Deep (1977) is an underwater thriller staring Jacqueline Bisset and Nick Nolte, with Louis Gossett as the villain. Bissett and Nolte are vacationing in the Bahamas and diving for buried treasures in the wrecks. When they dive on a wreck not mentioned in the maps, they find two things -- a very old Spanish medallion, and a small glass vial. The medallion doesn't elicit much interest, but the glass vial is another story entirely. Seems it is from The Goliath, a military ship full of ordinance, and a fortune in morphine. Gossett wants the morphine. Nolte and Bissett solicit the help of a local expert (Robert Shaw), and the three discover a second wreck under The Goliath. They uncover jewelry, but it is of little value unless they can prove that it is really authentically old from ship's records. Shaw convinces Gossett that he will partner with him for the morphine, but plans on blowing it up.

Bissett spends the entire opening credits and the first 10 minutes of this film in a wet T-shirt, first underwater and later on their boat. Her breasts are clearly visible. The film is a little tedious during the underwater sequences, but is a pretty good yarn. It is beautifully photographed, and the DVD contains both a full and widescreen version. IMDb readers have it at 5.8 of 10. This film practically invented the wet Tshirt, and put one of the most beautiful women of the day into it. The movie is watchabl3e for genre fans, but would have needed a little more pace and a little more suspense to have broader appeal. This is a C.

NOTE: because of a unique combination of circumstances with the Windows media player and some substantial bandwidth theft, we will have to do all of our movie files in zip format. Left click on the files as you normally would to view a picture. When you get a choice, click on "save", and put it on your hard drive in the directory of your choice. UnZIP and play from there.

I know this is not especially convenient, but it allows the film clips to continue. I can protect .zip files from hot-linking in the same way I can protect still images. For some reason, if I protect .avis and .wmvs from hot-linking, they will not play in the Windows media player, and I can't get a satisfactory work-around. Perhaps I will find a better solution, but for now this new policy allows you to continue getting the movie clips you want to see, which is much preferable to my abandoning the clips altogether.

• Former anchorwoman Andrea Thompson - full frontal nudity - in A Gun, A Car, A Blonde. An unrespected nothing of a movie that Tuna and I both loved. (.wmv - zip) Here's the Scoopy.com review

• I love this scene. Ashley Judd as Marilyn Monroe in Norma Jean & Marilyn. In the full screen version, there is even some pubic hair from AJ.   (.wmv - zip)

Perhaps these tips will help if you have trouble with the codecs for these movies:

Shiloh says:

FYI when I hypercam vids to make the file size smaller I use DivX MPEG-4 Fast-Motion for the video compressor, then I use virtualdub to compress the audio. The properties for the vids says the video codec:  DivX Decoder Filter & audio codec:  Morgan Stream Switcher which I'm not familiar with. When I compress the audio with virtualdub I use MPEG Layer-3.  A friend of mine told me about compressing the audio about (6) mos. ago. Like I said previously, only been capping for a year & a half & I'm no expert. Hopefully this info will help members with the proper codecs for my vids.

 

When I cap big brother's I use hypercam mostly & sdp & asfrecorder if the set up allows me. I stopped using camtasia cause the file sizes were always too big, could never figure out the process, over my head lol, plus it cost too much to buy in my opinion.

You mentioned that some users were having trouble with the videos on your site. There is a tool designed to determine what codec is needed for a video. http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ Hope this is useful to you or your users.

Scoop says:

I made the .wmv versions of each video. The codecs for these: Windows Video V8, Windows Audio 9. The upside of these is that you know the codecs, and they'll play in the Windows Media Player. The downside is that they are slightly larger, and slightly lower quality.

Part 1 of the Ghost's coverage of the Skinemax flick "Fast Lane to Malibu".

The Ghost adds the following comment...

While this movie does have lots of naked women, it lacks the commitment to excellence of "Fast Lane to Vegas."

• Devinn Lane (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
• Devinn Lane individual zipped .wmvs. (1, 2, 3)
• All Devinn Lane .wmvs in one zip file

Next up, two Skinemax regulars show up for some guy/girl and girl/girl lovin'.

In the images...Reed gives up a thong view in #1, but the rest feature her all naturals only. Fritz shows a little bum in #1 and gets felt up by Kira in #2. But mostly we see robo-boobs.

In the vids...#1 kicks things off with Reed and Fritz making out. In #2-4 they bring in the dudes for the pseudo-sex. Fritz briefly shows some pubes.

• Kira Reed (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
• Kira Reed and Nikki Fritz (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
• Kira Reed and Nikki Fritz individual zipped .wmvs (1, 2, 3, 4)
• All Kira Reed and Nikki Fritz .wmvs in one zip file

"Cold Mountain"
Towards the end of the Civil war, an often-wounded soldier tries to make his way home to his sweetheart. To make his journey harder, the local law, made up of men who avoided going to fight, and called the "Home Guard", are treating every soldier who returns home as a deserter, and shooting them.

This 2003 movie based on the novel by Charles Frazier is an excellent movie, although it has a couple of minor flaws. My main complaint is that the first part of the movie gets very draggy. In their attempt to paint deep character portraits, the pace slows and gets close to boring, but as things pick up, the movie consumes the watcher. The battle scenes, of which there are several, are horrific but realistic.

Another minor complaint is that in a brief nude scene, Melora Walters obviously has implants, which looks a little silly in a Civil War film.

Overall, the story is a well-done look at the life and times during the Civil War, the acting is outstanding, and the ending is poignant and sad. This is a must-see movie.

• Nicole Kidman
• Natalie Portman
• Melora Walters
