Third party videos:

Multiple zipped .avis of Theresa Russell in Eureka, a very odd movie. (Movie House Review). I wrote: "It is a great movie, and it is a poor movie. Above all, it is a film which always tries to soar into stratospheric heights, sometimes finding an air current and floating majestically through the clouds for we earthbound to admire, and sometimes crashing clumsily and painfully to earth. If you study films, you must see it, if only for what it hoped to be and might have been, if not for what it actually is."

 

 

 

OTHER CRAP:

The trailer for En Soap, a Danish drama
  • "32-year-old Charlotte (Trine Dryholm) could have it all, but she doesnt want any of it. When she moves away from her boyfriend, she happens to become the upstairs neighbor of the transsexual Veronica (David Dencik). Veronica prefers to keep to herself with her little dog and a romantic soap show on TV, while Charlotte gets through the nights with one-night stands."

Movie Reviews:

Yellow asterisk: funny (maybe). White asterisk: expanded format. Blue asterisk: not mine. No asterisk: it probably sucks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Infested (2002)

Infested (2002) is the Big Chill with nature run amok, as killer bugs invade a funeral gathering of obnoxious and self-absorbed 80s college friends. The first third of the film is spent showing how shallow and thoroughly obnoxious the people are. Then the bugs take over.

By then, I was ready to root for the insects.

The same basic scenario is played out time after time. Someone opens his big mouth, and 5 million CGI bugs fly into it. Once a human has been bugged, he becomes part of the infection.

Nahanni Johnstone shows breasts getting out of the water. This was her last film to date. She is not the only one. Other cast members who have not made another film is the following four years are Lisa Ann Hadley, Daniel Jenkins, Robert Duncan McNeill, David Packer and Tuc Watkins. Josh Olson has not directed since, nor has Charles Block produced.

IMDb readers say 2.8. If you can find anyone who liked this film, be very worried.

This is a D-, due in large part to poorly executed and way over-used CGI effects.

(Scoop's note: there is a clip of this scene in Hankster's section)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Today is another "Hankster Light" "Grab Bag".

 

First we a short clip (zipped .wmv) of a well-endowed Nahanni Johnstone topless coming out of the water in Infested.

Here are some sample caps from the scene:

 


 

Then the Time Machine goes back to 1995 and a visit with "Mallrats".

First up some tittie exposure from Joey Lauren Adams.

Then some more breast exposure from the venerable Priscilla Barnes. It seems she has an extra nipple.

Dann reports on Small Gauge Trauma:

Small Gauge Trauma is a collection of shorts from the Fantasia Film Festival. It features 13 award-winning shorts from 8 countries, all horror flicks.

Sister Lulu tells of the hardships of a novice nun, and "hardships" is putting it mildly.

I'll See You in my Dreams, from Portugal, is a zombie story with a surprise ending.

Love from Mother Only is a voodoo tale of betrayal from Brazil.

Tea Break is the story of a factory worker, and what a story. This one is guaranteed to creep you out.

While I didn't love every one of the 13 stories, this is a good collection that's a must for fans of horror and/or fans of the totally weird.

Notes and collages

Monique Gabrielle in Bachelor Party

 

..when I told my friend Sean that I had done a collage from "Bachelor Party" he asked if it was "that girl in the bedroom?'

uh, no, that's Monique Gabrielle who also looks incredible in "Chained Heat..."

...so this bedroom seduction scene from "Bachelor Party" is for my buddy (and all the rest of you of course.)

A funny scene about the angst of fidelity.

 

 

 

 

Monique Gabrielle in Chained Heat

 

...and since I brought up "Chained Heat" in my collage of Monique in "Bachelor Party," here is that scene where she bathes with the voyeuristic warden.

The caps are blurry from VHS so squint your eyes: her hourglass figure is staggering. Note that waist...wow...

 

Tatum O'Neill in Circle of Two

 

... the ol' hiding behind a chair trick ...

Pat's comments in yellow...

Americans have very short memories: shortly after $3+ gas prices fell in early autumn, sales of big pickups and SUVs skyrocketed while sales of fuel-efficient cars remained stagnant. For instance, sales of huge Chevy Tahoes and Cadillac Escalades were double and triple, respectively, what they were a year ago.  Sociologists said it shows that American car buyers aren't thinking longterm, they're just falling back into old habits, like overeating or watching too much TV.

*  The good news is, once gas goes back up after the election, they won't
be able to afford to overeat.


Police in Osaka, Japan, are looking for a young man who ate a bowl of ramen noodles and some fried chicken at a noodle bar, then pulled a knife on the waitress and demanded all the money.  She handed over 46,000 yen ($393 US).  But then, she demanded that he pay for his meal.  He handed back 1,000 yen.  The bill was 900 yen, so he waited for his 100 yen change, then ran away.

*  Wait a second...If she gave him all the money, where did she get the 100
yen change?



After being fired by Paramount, Tom Cruise has found a new home.  MGM is reviving the moribund United Artists studio - founded 85 years ago by silent film icons Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D.W. Griffith - and giving it to Cruise and his company.  Cruise will have nearly complete control over future productions, which means he's basically running his own movie studio.

*  Finally, we'll get to see "Battlefield Earth 2!"
