The Brave One
I'll talk about this tomorrow, if I'm feelin' up to it. Right now, if I
were a kid I'd be stayin' home from school with the flu.
It's the "Jodie Foster as Charles Bronson" film. Here are the film clips of
Jodie. I assume that any real nudity is a body double, and these film
clips, while artful and artistic, are seriously depressing.

The Sexploiters
(1965)
The Sexploiters (1965) is a very early East Coast sexploitation film that
was presumed lost. It stars Terrie Steele, mild mannered housewife who enjoys
the finer things in life, and, unbeknownst to her husband, has become a woman
of negotiable virtue to afford them. She works out of a "modeling agency"
where the girls pose naked for amateur photographers between more profitable
transactions. She doesn't show any skin, but does supply the ending hook of
the film. We see her start her day, and follow her through a "date" with a man
who wants to be whipped. Then she arrives at the agency, where we watch a
"who's who" of early sexploitation queens disrobe, model and tantalize,
including Jackie Miller, June Roberts, Marlene Starr and the gorgeous Gigi
Darlene. The girls were actually nude models, not trained actresses, and their
parts were written such that they took off their clothes and posed, which was
well within their dramatic reach.
This film was directed by Al Ruban, who went on to work on many mainstream
films with John Cassavetes such as Minnie and Moskowitz and The Killing of a
Chinese Bookie. Jerry Denby produced and was credited as cinematographer. C.
Davis Smith, who filmed several Doris Wishman films, also appeared in the
film, as did All Ruban and Jerry Denby. There is no plot or pacing to speak
of. The film itself is just as dull as all of the early sexploitation efforts.
Unlike some of its competitors, it did deliver on the nudity, with Jackie
Miller, June Roberts, Marlene Starr and Gigi Darlene showing breasts and buns,
and an unknown showing breasts.
As such, it would be little more than a curiosity for film historians and
fans of the actresses, but this is a Seduction Cinema release, and they not
only found this rare title, but found one of the original cameramen who shot
the film (C. Davis Smith), teamed him with film historian Michael J. Bowen,
and recorded a feature length commentary. While they do touch on the making of
the film, and the film makers, the discussion contains great insight into the
early exploitation industry, focusing on genre legend Doris Wishman, and much
more. If you have an interest in early exploitation, or in how those films
were made, this is absolutely a must-see, largely because of the commentary.
The film, assuming a genre of "early exploitation," does meet genre
standards because of a high level of nudity, and is a solid example of its
type, but the top notch commentary lifts the package to a strong
recommendation for those interested in the subject.

One to Another
What I like about French films is that they seem to tackle subjects
more honestly than American filmmakers do, and they also tend to tackle
more controversial subjects. You're not likely to find strippers that
don't strip in a French film, nor will you often see stories about sex
that don't have nudity and sex. Let's be honest, for the most part,
American filmmakers are pussies. This 2006 French drama, based on a true
story, is loaded with both nudity and sex, and it was necessary given the
subject.
Lucie (Lizzie Brochere) is a hang-on with a rock band, and her brother
is one of the band members. The group is very tight-knit. Lucie loves her
brother very much, so much that they often have sex, but this doesn't stop
Lucie from also giving it up to the band's other members (but never at the
same time). Lucie's brother is bi-sexual, and a homosexual prostitute.
Lucie's world is shattered when the brother turns up a victim of
murder. The police, who suspect one of the brother's tricks, are getting
nowhere.
Finally frustrated when the police close the case as unsolvable, Lucie
sets out to find the killer herself, and she has no qualms about using sex
to get information. She is relentless, and eventually, she starts getting
answers.
The movie is non-linear, jumping from past to present and back, so you
have to pay attention, but if you do, you're rewarded with a good thriller
with a nice twisty ending, and again, it's based on fact. I recommend it.

Comments in yellow...
In Georgia, civil rights icon Andrew Young said Obama is too young to be
president, adding that Hillary has Bill behind her and he's "every bit as black
as Barack. He's probably gone with more black women than Barack." He quickly
added that he was joking.
* It's funny 'cause it's true.
* Bill had no reply because he was in Iowa, hitting on Oprah.
Police in Pittston, Pennsylvania, report that a man came into a grocery store
last week and said he needed to charge some items to the St. Rocco's Catholic
Church account. He was in black, wearing crosses, and had a white cardboard
strip around his neck. Clerks got even more suspicious when he finished picking
necessities and started loading up on energy drinks and cigarettes. By the
time he checked out, the cops were already waiting and arrested him for several
recent thefts.
* The big giveaway: the condoms.
The Guardian UK reports that despite gloomy economic talk, the Movida nightclub
in London, a ritzy celebrity hangout, unveiled the world's most expensive
Christmas cocktail, "The Flawless." It contains Louis XII cognac, half a bottle
of Cristal champagne, brown sugar, angostura bitters, flakes of edible gold leaf
and an 11-carat diamond ring at the bottom of the glass. The price: $70,000
(US), more money than 75 percent of British workers earn in a year. Social
critic Peter York said it would appeal only to the stupidest of the super-rich,
whose intelligence is "one step up from a potato." One politician complained
that buying it was like setting money on fire in front of poor people and giving
them the finger.
* Now rich people REALLY want to order it!
* It's really cruel to spend that much money on one drink when so many poor
people have to go to bed sober.
eBay reports that Britney Spears is the #1 online auction celebrity of 2007.
34,345 Spears-related items sold on eBay this year, far ahead of #2 Paris Hilton
(27,377) and #3, Lindsay Lohan (8,099).
* Over 30,000 of the Britney items were empty buckets of
KFC.
Wal-Mart is yanking the DVD of the teen comedy "Superbad" from shelves
nationwide because it contains as a free bonus a copy of the dorky kid "McLovin's"
obviously fake Hawaiian driver's license ID.
* And terrorists might use it to fool our crack
homeland security agents.
On this date in music history, Sam Cooke was murdered (1964), Otis Redding died
in a plane crash (1967), and Donny Osmond made his singing debut on "The Andy
Williams Show" (1963).
* Sounds like THIS is "The Day The Music Died!"
