666 The Beast
(2007)
This is one of those movies where you watch it not realizing it's a sequel to
another movie until late in the film when the flashbacks begin.
I had never seen or heard of the first installment, which was 666: The Child,
which was apparently a grade-B ultra-low-budget rehash of The Omen. That would
make this a grade-B ultra-low-budget rehash of one of the sequels to The Omen.
It's woeful. The script has nothing new to add to the genre. The performing
appears to have been done by amateurs. The direction is hack work.
But there is some nudity to pass along:
The antichrist has sex with Alma
Saraci
Three
vampire chicks do some satanic ritual of some kind. The key fact is that
they do it topless. Their names are Victoria Lane, Audrey Fiorini and Marissa
Hart. I have no idea who is who.

Schoolgirl Report Volume #2
(1971)
Schoolgirl Report Volume #2: What Keeps Parents Awake At Night"
(1971), originally Schulmädchen-Report 2: Was Eltern den Schlaf raubt,
is the second of countless sequels to a hugely popular mockumentary
about sex and girls in the 15 to 18 year old range. This one is
supposedly based on letters received after the first one was released,
and they picked the best nine for retelling. In between tales, they
ask girls on the street questions more or less related to the story,
and also add "redeeming social merit" (required by the then-prevailing
legal definition of "obscenity") with expert opinions, which always
seem to be that sexual exploration is a natural part of growing up,
that the laws about sex and minors is outdated, and that the adults
cause the real problems.
In the first story, three schoolgirls seduce a handsome teacher,
and then try to blackmail him into more sex with photos. He takes his
own life. In this and most of the other stories, the innocent schoolgirls are the aggressors, but
with an exception in which a girl is drugged, then raped and
abandoned.
Some others:
- A girl has been bragging about her adventures with the opposite
sex to her classmates. They arrange for her to spend the night with
a stud, who turns out to be almost as inexperienced as she is.
- A young couple goes to the woods to have sex for the first time.
He is nervous and can't perform, and she leaves with another guy and
his car and clothes.
- A girl seduces a tenant living in her home, and her parents try
to get him jailed.
- Two girls pose naked for money to buy wigs.
- My favorite of the bunch had no nudity. A High School girl gets
pregnant. Her parents are naturally not thrilled, but aren't nearly
as abusive as other parents in the film. Cut to after the baby is
born. The proud grandparents are gathered with mom around the crib,
and the father comes in. The two don't know about marriage yet, but
he has done the right thing and registered the baby as being in
their family and admitted paternity. In the process, he discovers
that the baby's mother was born a year before her parents got
married. This was the example of the difference understanding
parents can make.
I remember this series fondly from adult night at the drive-in,
where my wife and I would often catch a double feature. This version
looks cleaner than what we saw then, and the new optional subtitles
are far better. Even without the nostalgia value, it is an interesting
time capsule since this series spawned many others in similar formats,
with housewives, nurses, etc. Of course, the film also has a lot of
attractive naked women.
IMDb 2.3
Karin Götz, Astrid Kilian and a host of unknowns show everything.

The Comedy Wire
Comments in yellow...
Leftwing radio host Randi Rhodes was off the air Monday, and reports
circulated that she was mugged in New York and had several teeth knocked out.
Her fellow Air America host Jon Elliot questioned on the air if it was "an
attempt by the right-wing hate machine" to silence them, and leftwing chat rooms
went wild with angry accusations, such as, "What the %$#$ is WRONG with you
people?? Are you that SICK in the head that just because you don't agree with
someone's political views you believe that they deserve to be mugged? Are you on
the right that DEMENTED??" The New York Police and Rhodes' lawyer had to issue
a statement that there was no mugging; she'd tripped while walking her dog.
* I'll bet that dog is a REPUBLICAN!!!
* She was soon back on the air again, denouncing hateful, intolerant, demented
people.
Worried about antagonizing Turkish leaders, US House members from both parties
have begun dropping their support for a Democratic resolution condemning the
killing of Armenians by Turkey in 1915
* But this could undermine their reputation for taking
swift, decisive action!
