La Poliziotta Fa Carriera
(1975)
"Confessions of a Lady Cop" (or more literally "The
Policewoman Makes a Career") is sort of an Italian precursor to Police
Academy. It's an Edwige Fenech slapstick comedy which was popular
enough to spawn two sequels.
Fenech plays the
daughter of an apartment house doorman, but dreams of becoming a
policewoman. Her obvious charms do not go unnoticed, and she is
accepted to the police academy. While she had some misadventures at
the academy, her "talents" got her through graduation, and she
instantly came to the attention of the police commissioner. Her
first few assignments did not go well, but she ended up a hero while
remaining a virgin - barely.
The film is filled with recurring gags. The police commissioner has terrible
luck at office gadgets like a water fountain and a buzzer, while Fenech
likes to hit other cars with hers.
If you are an Edwige Fenech fan, you should see it because she is
in nearly every scene, showing her perfect breasts in three
scenes, and
looking sexy even when dressed. Regrettably, the film is not available in English
or with English subtitles. RLDVDs.com sells a
region 2 PAL in Italian with the extremely redundant feature of Italian subtitles.
Of course, much of the humor is
visual and physical, so the language problem is not as bad as it could be,
but I
would really like to see a dubbed, or at least a subtitled
version of this film. As it was, I enjoyed it even though I do not
speak Italian.
IMDb readers say 4.0 with only 28 votes.
Grade
for the film: C+
Grade
for this release: C+ if you speak Italian. Otherwise, caveat emptor.

Lady Jane
A 20 year old Helena Bonham Carter plays a 15 year old Lady Jane Grey,
cousin of the young King Edward and a fanatical Protestant who is maneuvered into taking the throne after Edward's death, also at the age
of 15. There are many discussions about whether the movie is truth to history,
but either way it is not that bad. If you don't care about historical
correctness, its watchable.

Another great film clip of
Rachel Miner in
Californication, this time from episode 4. There's no explicit nudity,
but her butt is mostly uncovered, and it's a very entertaining fetish
scene. |

A film clip of Mercedes McNab in Hatchet. The
new horror film opens this Friday, but
in only 70 theaters across the entire United States. Although distributors
have no confidence in it, it is rated a very solid 7.3 at IMDb, and Harry
Knowles of Ain't It Cool News picked it as one of his ten favorite films
of 2006! (Based on festival screenings.) From our point of view, the
essential point is that the woman who played Harmony in "Buffy" and
"Angel" is nekkid! |

A film clip of
Evy Lutzky and Nicole Nocintino in Consequences (sample right). It's
an indie from a first-time director. The movie has been generaly dissed,
but there's nothing timid about the sex scene. (Evy is the blonde.) |

|
A film clip of Kathleen
Lancaster in Shanghai Kiss (sample right), which is better known as
the new Hayden Panettierre movie. Hayden, the hot chick from "Heroes,"
stays clothed. |
