"Afrocentricity"

Afrocentricity is a collection of 7 short films by black film makers. They range from excellent to mediocre, but all are interesting. The first was my favorite, and provided some of the exposure. Titled Breakfast at Ben's and is about a young black aerospace engineer who is in bed with his girlfriend on Saturday morning when a mentoring service he has registered with calls for the first time and asks him to meet with a kid at Ben's. The girlfriend is not happy, but Jamal explains in detail how he wants to help the kids in the ghetto so they will, like him, have a chance to get out and be successful. Imagine his surprise when he meets the kid, who turns out to be a white girl.

This is a very simple story, but is well shot and very well acted.

The other story with exposure, The Gift, is nearly as good, and is about a blind sculptor who is being pushed into surgery that will probably give him site by the woman who runs the blind school he attended. He is not so sure that he wants sight, as he thinks he is able to see peoples hearts without having his judgement clouded by looks. His model/girlfriend is also afraid of the surgery as she has a horrible burn scar on one side of her face. The story is eloquent in exploring the way we perceive and judge people. Any serious student of film will enjoy seeing this collection.

    "Watch Me" (1996)

    Watch Me is a soft-core about a photographer who is preparing for his first solo show, and is not happy with what he has captured in the way of nudity so far. His live-in girlfriend is not at all supportive, and he is growing tired of her. Things pick up when a new neighbor moves in across the street. She has a telescope, which she uses to watch the photographer's girlfriend and his best friend/handyman screw. This is clearly her idea of fun, and she strips and touches.

    The story goes up one more level when the photographer discovers her, and starts photographing her raw passion. I am sure you can predict the rest.

    From News of the World.....
    SOCCER-CRAZY sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher is hoping to score with Robbie Williams now he has kicked rumours of a "romance" with ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell into touch.
    The Sky Sports presenter met Robbie just before he headed off to St Tropez for his much publicized holiday with Geri. Kirsty, 24, reckons she and Robbie would be a match made in heaven and is hoping he'll get in touch when he returns to the UK.

    Kirsty started out as a tea girl at Sky TV but her sporting knowledge soon came to the attention of bosses who gave her a three-year presenting contract.

    Griffin Drew
    (1, 2, 3)
    Once upon a time, two legends of B movie film making got together. All they had was a small budget, a cheap camera, a few bikini's, and a plastic dinosaur. And the rest is history!

    Fred Olen Ray and Jim Wynorski are pretty much the reigning kings of bimbo movies. Their filmographies are required viewing for any grade B buff. Actually, grade L, or M is probably more appropriate in most cases.

    "Dinosaur Island" was actually their second collaboration. Most likely shot and edited over a period of 6 days, it features everything a bad movie should have...nudity, bad acting, cheap effects, nudity, the mystery of whether or not their was a script, skimpy outfits (during the non-nude scenes), and a virgin sacrifice.
    Overall...a classic!

    Here's late night favorite Griffin Drew topless.

    Antonia Dorian
    (1, 2, 3)
    Three more topless collages. On a side note...of her 12 credits in the IMDb, 9 of them are movies directed (or co-directed in this case) by Jim Wynorski.
    Michelle Bauer
    (1, 2)
    Nudity and skimpy outfits. Michelle is a true work horse in the industry, with over 100 movies in her filmography since 1979, plus nude scenes in almost every film!
    Becky LeBeau and Nikki Fritz Becky plays the part of the previously mentioned virgin sacrifice. Nikki is the High Priestess of Dinosaur Island preparing Becky for the God of Dino Isle...as seen in the the lower right!

    Leigh Matchette Excellent natural breast vidcaps from the nutty house of wax.

    Heidi Schanz A B+ actress who also has a few "real" movies under her belt. These 'caps from "Body Language".
    and...
    Tara Fitzgerald
    (1, 2, 3)
    'Caps from "Sirens" have appeared all over the web for a couple of years now, but I for one can never say no to full frontal vidcaps. Actually #3 is my favorite of the bunch. The nudity is shot to look very sexy, and not at all gratuitous. Thanks to Watty for these.
    Vanessa Marcil
    (1, 2, 3)
    My official favorite celebrity babe! Everyone knows that I'm a fan of B-movies, and the women you star in them (like Kari Wuhrer!). And of course I like the A-list gals and supermodels too! However, of all of the women it's been my pleasure to see either partially or fully naked on these pages, Vanessa is one who I can never get enough of! I'm not talking about her movies, her acting ability, or any of that stuff...I'm talking about pure babe-ness! Perhaps it's the fact that she won't take her clothes off? (She even turned down a certain magazine.) Perhaps I'm just a sucker for petite brunettes? I don't know. All I do know is that everyone should take a look at these images (Especially #2!), then tell me who is your new favorite...I bet these will pics will earn her a few new fans!
    A very special thanks to aRTisAne.
