Point of No Return (1993) is a remake of the wonderful French film La Femme Nikita staring Anne Parillaud. It remains mostly true to the French version, and wherever it deviates, it makes the film worse, not better. Bridget Fonda does a good job with the role, and gives the part a slightly different slant. She is more pensive, and is quicker to tire of being an assassin. There really was no good reason to make this film, other than to satisfy people who can't or won't read subtitles.

Fonda is an addict and gang member who shoots a cop during a holdup of a drugstore. She is tried, convicted, and given a fake lethal injection. After her funeral, she awakens in a secret training center for government assassins. She has two choices, learn to be an assassin, or a bullet in the brain. After initial resistance, she gets with the program, and goes into the field. She finds a boyfriend, and discovers that she doesn't much like her new career. While there is no nudity, she is scantily dressed in several scenes. I passed on this one earlier, but a reader requested it.

IMDB readers say 5.7/10. Maltin hates it at 1 1/2 stars. Berardinelli and Ebert like it a little more at 3 stars. I say 1 1/2 is closer, but would probably rate it higher had I not seen the French version first. US gross was $30m

Idy Tripoldi is famous. At least that is what the Famous T & A tape would have us believe, 'cuz she is in it (the miserable vidcaps sent along to you were gotten off a second-generation copy taped at light speed). Yet the only movie in which she acted (if pretending to be shocked as a slimey geezer stares at her boobs can be called acting) is Auditions. Now that's what I call famous. But then a series of scans from some late 60's/ early 70's pinup mags showed up to suggest Idy is a model whose name is either Hannah Viet or Hannah Viek (both have been used on Usenet). So what's the big deal? Her breasts. The woman is as thin as a rail but she has the best pair of boobs we at the Brainscan shop have ever seen. Really, I mean it. Better than Jennifer Connelly, better than Rosanna Arquette, better than any of them. Let me show you. (#6 is supposed to be Idy, the others Hannah)

First - Cleaned up and edited scans of Angela Nicholas, who you might remember, Junior (with that steel sieve mind of yours), as one of the babes capped last week from Alien Space Avenger. Don't know the original scanner, who goes by the name Desire, but he did a darn nice job in the first place.

First of all my very best wishes to you and jr. and Tuna. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you. You have no idea how good it felt to see that you still thought of me. I even felt tears coming to my eyes, I'm not kidding ! When I announced my retirement it was mainly because I was really fed up with my slow internet connection. At that time I was down to 24,000 bps and only downloading the pictures from the Fun House that interested me took me nearly 2 hours ! Needless to say that this isn't much fun. especially when you came down from 52000 bps six months earlier. And then finally an ADSL connection became available in the area where I live. For something like $ 40/month you can download up to 10 Gb. So I signed up immediately and on December 4 I finally had a high speed connection. At first I was over the moon with joy, I could download all pictures on the Fun House in less than 15 minutes. For the first time in history it took me longer to read the Fun House than to download the pictures. And after 36 hours it was all over. My ISP and phone company Belgacom can't keep up with the increased demand and the ADSL platform in the entire country collapsed ( as did the e-mail for people with free internet access ). This lasted nearly six days and they only admitted it when they got the services running again, although still not completely at full speed. They reckon they will get everything back to normal around January 15 when they should have upgraded the whole system. It felt a bit like you book a vacation in the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Cannes and after 36 hours somebody tells you you've enjoyed the good life long enough and that you have to stay the rest of your vacation in a Motel 6.

Anyway, when I retired I was working on the Dario Argento film "Tenebre". I was nearly finished and those images have been sitting on my hard drive ever since. So I decided to submit them to you and at the same time it's a good test for the e-mail server of my ISP. So I hope you'll receive these images. Dario Argento says that this is one of his best films although I don't agree. There are some serious holes in the plot which make the story incoherent. He also mentions something about this film being a self-parody but I didn't perceive it that way, only one reviewer on the IMDb did and he thought it was unintentional. Argento also thinks his film has a futuristic look and I agree, if you find a cobblestone paved piazza in a Roman suburb futuristic. But let's move on now to things that matter on the Fun House. The film has quite some nudity in it compared with other Argento films. To make it as complete as possible I also scanned revealing pictures from actresses that didn't disrobe in the movie ( not from the rabid mag of course, sources are Neue Revue and Celebrity Sleuth ).

The actresses:

Krista Allen (1, 2, 3)

Dita is her porn name. just plain Dita. Here she is with another woman and the famedanaconda negra de amor (1, 2, 3)
