Vice Academy Part 3 (1991)
Although this film occurs less than halfway through the franchise, the
series
has already lapsed into self-parody. Ginger Allen has gone undercover in jail
to watch Julia Parton, who escapes before her eyes, is sprayed by insecticide,
and becomes "Malathion." Later, at a contest between prisoners and the Vice
Academy girls, Malathion helps four more baddies escape, thus forming a gang.
The Commissioner suspends the entire Vice Academy, but hires one of the
convicts as a trainee.
Linnea Quigley has left the cast, and
Elizabeth Kaitan has taken her part. Kaitan, Julia Parton
and Toni Alessandrini all show breasts, in what is otherwise a complete waste
of time, completely lacking in humor or action and stretching suspension of
disbelief to the breaking point. This is by far the worst of the first three.
D.
IMDb readers say 2.5, which is certainly in the right neighborhood.

Notes and collages
The Celebrity Shower series continues
Holly Hunter in Thirteen |
|
....her character is strung-out in this scene so I created
a collage to keep that sense...
Mimi Rogers in The Rapture |
|
...the top row of this collage is DVD; the bottom row is VHS (which shows
nipple)
This film is about "the Rapture" prophesied in the New Testament of the
Bible. DO NOT rent this film expecting a happy ending. I like the film for
what it is and the ending is poignant.
....oh and Mimi Rogers does show a lot of skin in various scenes though
you may have to hit the pause button...

Pat's comments in yellow...
In a new book, "The Female Mind," psychiatrist Dr. Luan Brizendine confirms
what many suspected: women talk a lot more than men. The average woman says
20,000 words a day, compared to 7,000 for a man. Women also speak more quickly;
far more of their brain cells are devoted to talking; and when they talk, it
unleashes a flood of brain chemicals that give women a rush similar to the high
heroin addicts feel. But in males, Dr. Brizendine says testosterone shrinks the
parts of the brain responsible for talking and hearing, allowing men to be
conveniently "deaf" to what women are saying; but they make up for it with the
part of the brain responsible for sexual thoughts, which is twice as big in men
as in women.
* She's also writing "The Male Mind," but it's really
more of a pamphlet.
PNC Wealth Management, which every year calculates the cost of all the gifts
mentioned in "The 12 Days of Christmas," reports that the 2006 price rose 3.1
percent to a record $18,920, or $30,330 if you bought all the items off the
Internet. If you bought the gifts for all of the 12 days mentioned, it would
total $75,122. The cheapest is the partridge, holding steady at $15, but a boom
in
landscaping boosted pear tree prices by 40 percent. For the first time in years,
labor costs outpaced inflation, so hiring nine dancers cost 4 percent more than
in 2005. But the eight maids a-milking remained unchanged thanks to no rise in
the minimum wage.
* But the damn Democrats are about to raise it and RUIN
CHRISTMAS!!
Less than four months after Pamela Anderson married Kid Rock repeatedly in
various locations, to demonstrate how committed the two were, she has filed for
divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The New York Post quotes an insider
as saying that Kid's explosive temper was to blame, and the last straw was when
he allegedly blew up after a showing of "Borat," screaming, "You're nothing but
a whore! You're a slut! How could you do that movie?"
* He married the star of the "Pam & Tommy" video, and he
thought "Borat" made her look like a slut?
Chicago officials asked organizers of a German Christmas festival to reject ads
for the movie "The Nativity Story" because it might offend non-Christians
* And Christmas festivals are just crawling with those
In the wake of the Michael Richards rant, Jesse Jackson called the "N-word"
"unprotected" as free speech and called on the entertainment industry to bar its
use in all forms
* And suddenly, rappers and Def Comedy Jam stars began
defending Michael Richards.
