"Bucktown" (1975)
Bucktown (1975) is a 3rd rate blacksploitation film that does have a least one of the necessary ingredients -- Pam Grier's breasts (or at least one of them). The story is roughly based on the passage in the bible where a devil is cast out, but worse ones enter. Fred Williamson returns to Bucktown to bury his brother, only to find that his brother was murdered, and that Bucktown is a din of iniquity exploiting brothers and sisters, while the white cops skim all of the profits. He brings in some hoodlum friends, who make short work of the cops, but then take over the exploitation of the town. It is only a matter of time before Fred and his new squeeze Grier open up a can of whup-ass on the bad guys.
Maltin says 1 1/2, and nobody else has heard of it. There is breast exposure from several unknown hookers and strippers. I think this is solid genre fair, which isn't saying a lot, but earns it a C.

"With a Friend Like Harry, Who Needs Enemies" (2000)
Harry, un ami qui vous veut du bien (2000) (With a Friend Like Harry, Who Needs Enemies) is listed as a comedy thriller at IMDB, but is more of a thriller with part of a toe in the slasher genre. The film is in French, with imaginative sub-titles. IMDB readers say 7/5/10, Berardinelli says 3
stars, as does Ebert, and the film was nominated for nearly all the Cesar's, and won 4 of them. Michel is on his way to his summer house with his wife and three young daughters. he kids are hot and irritable, and they stop for a break. Michel goes in to splash water on his face, and runs into
someone he attended school with. Even though Michel doesn't remember Harry, he is gracious, and ends up with Harry and Harry's fiancee Plum following them home. Harry is wealthy, and, according to Plum, solves things. Michel is uneasy, but has no idea what is in store for him.
The director lets the audience in on the secret from the beginning, but suspense is generated as we wonder when Michel will catch on, and how many people will die. Sophie Guillemin shows her buns in a lengthy scene, lots of leg, and cleavage. This is the first film I have seen with a slasher
motif (everyone knows about the horror except those involved) that uses no gore, and very little violence. It builds steadily to rousing conclusion. B-.

Wilderness is a BBC mini-series, kind of the masterpiece theater version of a werewolf tale. I would have called it "I, Lycanthrope"
It has been trimmed from 174 minutes to 99 for release as a video. I don't know why they didn't just release the whole thing. A single DVD can easily handle that much. The Blackadder DVD's have six episodes per disk, which is approximately comparable.
Only two women (same character, different ages), and nobody will mistake either of them for Michelle Pfeiffer, but lotsa nudity.
Scoop,
An interesting story from Ananova. The question is, "Who has starred in the worst films," not "Who is the worst actor?" Uma doesn't strike me as the worst mainstream actress in movies, and one could argue that if anything made "Avengers" and "Batman & Robin" bearable, it was the fact that Uma appeared in both wearing skintight costumes. Costner probably realized that him wearing leotards would not save "Robin
Hood," but he could have at least called in Uma to do so and provide a little entertainment.

Uma Thurman is the star of "worst films" poll
Uma Thurman has starred in the two worst films of all time, according to a survey. The actress starred as Poison Ivy in poll-winner Batman and Robin and played Emma Peel in The Avengers which took second place. The Top 30 poll was carried out by readers of movie magazine Total Film. John Travolta's sci-fi saga Battlefield Earth was third worst, followed by
Speed 2: Cruise Control and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, reports The Daily Record. Other films in the top ten include Pearl Harbor, Wild Wild West, Titanic, Cutthroat Island and Godzilla.
Kevin Costner featured twice in the list, for Waterworld and The Postman.
Scoop's comments: Interesting, but it must be only to big-budget Hollywood movies
-
Obviously, these people have never seen any of the films of Natasha Gregson Wagner.
-
Olivia Williams was in The Postman, The Body, and Dead Babies.
-
Last year alone, Kim Basinger was in Bless the Child and I Dreamt of Africa, each of which is worse than anything on that list.
Scoop- Page 3's Jakki is Jakki Degg, and is a very popular UK model. The most comprehensive site on her is here. Better check it out fast, as the evil Internet Attorneys appear to be attacking her fan sites armed with copyright claims.
All the best, Celebrity Sloth.
Scoop's comment: note that it says "sloth", not "sleuth". Different guy.

Babes, domestic variety: begins with Elizabeth Berkley and the famous flashing the houseplants pic. Turns out there are at least two of them. Blackshine's contribution to Saturday's FH had me scrounge through the harddrive. Was gonna clear out the much inferior scan I had of what I
thought was the same pic. But no. Turns out it was a second pose that gives a stronger impression of a panty-free flash. Thought you and the boys might like it.
Next up is fashion model Brooke Boisse, who had fifteen seconds of tv fame on an episode of Friends. Interesting face, nice bod.

Page 3 babes come in threes today. We have Helen Robinson and Jane Botham in the type of pics you just don't see on third pages of the tabloids. And then there is Janine James, long, slim and topless.

Time for vidcaps and it must be a Pennsylvania kind of day because they are all Tuna.
Aitana Sanchez Gijon in Celos; not terribly revealing but what you see is pretty darn good.
Analia Ivars in Tender Flesh, which makes the movie sound like more of a cooking show than a tittie flic.

Barbara Hershey in The Temptation of Christ. First rate novel turned into a fourth rate movie... as if this were the first time THAT ever happened.
And my personal faves are of Sylvia Dionisio in Love By Appointment. Interesting concept, that title; not unlike a few marriages I know of. Anyway, Sylvia is a real beauty with an el primo bod.

Okay, and now a word about words, particularly the idea that some leaders are allowed mistakes that others are crucified for. JFK was cut a lot of slack with his ein Berliner remark because the whole world expected the Eastern Bloc to roll into the western half of that city on any given day.
What he did was avoid World War III. It would have seemed silly to piss on him for syntax. And if Dan Quayle were put into a similar situation he would have gone to Copenhagen and said... in English... "I am a Danish." Or so his pronouncement at the United Negro College Fund would suggest. Quoth he: "What a waste is is to lose one's mind." If you want to find an immediate parallel to JFK's error and the slack he was cut by the press, look no further than Pres Bush's comments about a crusade against terrorism or "wanted, dead or alive." Nothing more counterproductive than declaring
this fight a crusdade could have been uttered. To make it look like Christian world versus Muslim world, with a cowboy bounty hunter at the lead, confirmed half the world's greatest fears. We all let Bush get away with it because of the context. Tis not a conspiracy, liberal or conservative, just an acknowledgement of the importance of the times.

The original gangsta of Skinemax 'caps serves up more of our favorite late night ladies baring it all, and a few comments about the movie "Bare Deception".
Bare Deception (2000), is at best an average softcore murder mystery directed by Eric Gibson. There's no great mystery, however. The IMDb rates it a 4.3 with 27 voting. Angela Grant is a lovely woman that I'm fairly certain I've seen in something else under another name but I can't find it. The IMDb lists her as only appearing in this movie in 2000, and What's Up Nurse! and an episode of Spectre on TV in 1977. Somehow, I don't think it's the same woman. Lisa Throw is known primarily as Nenna Quiroz at the IMDb.
Angela Grant, full frontal nudity.
Tane McClure, robo-hooters and bare bum.
Stella Porter and Lisa Throw, full frontal, bare bum, lesbo lovin' and three-way pseudo sex.
Regina Russell, full frontal and dorsal nudity.
Michelle von Flotow, once again showing off her really bad fake breasts, plus a thong and nearly full frontal views.

To quote Comic Book Guy, I think we may have found the "worst...movie...ever". Either that or one of the most entertaining! That's right gang....it's "The Turkish Star Wars". Here is an excellent review of what sounds like a must see for any fan of bad movies.
