Racing With The Moon
(1984)
Racing with the Moon is a drama which stars Sean Penn and Nicolas Cage as
high school seniors who work as pin-setters at the local bowling alley of a
fictitious Northern California town in 1943. Penn's love interest is
played by Elizabeth McGovern, and the supporting cast includes Carol Kane,
Crispin Glover and Dana Carvey.
Penn spots Elizabeth McGovern in the movie theater box office, and is smitten
instantly. He follows her home, and sees that she lives in a rich mansion on a
hill. He assumes that she is rich, but she is actually the maid's daughter. They
fall deeply in love, but Penn and Cage will soon be reporting for duty in the
Marine Corps during the height of WW2, and the date is nearing for Penn and Cage
to ship out. Meanwhile, Cage has gotten his girlfriend pregnant, and enlists
Penn to help find the money for an abortion.
I enjoyed this film very much. This film perfectly invokes the period, and
delves into the lives and emotions of typical kids about to ship off to fight
for their country in exotic places they had never even heard of. IMDb readers
rate it a so-so 6.7, but Ebert was more impressed at 3.5 stars, and I liked it
even a bit more than that.
McGovern shows breasts in a beautifully filmed skinny dipping and sex scene.
Note that this film is rated PG. I miss the days when bare breasts, even in a
sexual context, were considered PG material.

The Making of the Carousel Girls Calendar
(1993)
Some videotapes will never make it to digital media. The Making of the Carousel
Girls Calendar should be one of them. This is, for most of its running time, a
standard strip and pose - no wiggling at all - kind of tape. Gals get nekkid in
two settings, once while they are posing for this calendar while riding a
carousel ... you see where the title comes from ... and again out in the wild
somewhere. The carousel posing is partly behind-the-scenes of the photoshoot and
partly a more free-form, clothes-free romp. All that is just dandy and it takes
up maybe 60% of the tape time. The other 40% is not so dandy as the folks who
shot this tape turned it into a documentary about the photographer. One would
not object except he is made out to be some sort of artist who sculpts and
paints and only lately chose to shoot nekkid gals on film because that is just
as legitimate a medium to work with.
He is a latter day Toulouse Lautrec, this guy - just as humorless
Only taller.
And no beard.
Anyway the gals look good and were this a DVD I might still be capping it. A few
of them you know from real movies - Julie K. Smith, Samantha Phillips, Erin
Ashley and Shelly Jones. Several others come with two names but seem to have
done little more than pose for Penthouse - Robin Brown, Sasha Vinni, Shandra
Rollins, Amy Morgan, Gina Passarella and Dawnya Welsh make up that group. With
three women we are on a first-name basis only. Those would be the Pleasure
Twins, Jennifer and Justina, and a pneumatic blonde named Heather (weren't all
over-inflated blondes in the early 90's named Heather?).
Do keep in mind this was from an old videotape and so the quality is nothing
to brag about...so I won't. But as I stated at the outset, videotape is all we
are likely ever to see of the Carousel Girls and their calendar.

One more of Anna Paquin on True Blood. DeafBeer played with a
few frames that the rest of us ignored.
Naomi Campbell is some kind of crazy, futuristic S&M gear.
   
A classic Linda Blair shot in better
quality than we have seen.
One more of Nicolette Sheridan in a
bikini.
(She looks unbelievable. She turns 45
next month!)
