Sundance Films

Some of the films being screened at Sundance this year have already appeared elsewhere in whole or part. Here is some of the nudity:

 

The screener DVD of Factotum was out months and months ago. It is actually a pretty good movie, although it is a pretty bad interpretation of Bukowski. My comments. The greatest appeal of this film: Marisa Tomei topless, in case you missed it before
Alpha Dog is the roman a clef about Jesse James Hollywood, and it features  Justin Timberlake in a major role. Some pretty big Hollywood names appear in smaller roles: Sharon Stone, Bruce Willis, etc. The kinda sorta nudity here is from Amanda Seyfried.
The Spanish language Battle in Heaven sounds cheery: "Marcos and his wife kidnap a baby for ransom money, but it goes tragically wrong when the infant dies." The star and naked chick to the right is Anapola Mushkadiz
   

And now for something completely different.

This has nothing to do with celebrity nudity. I just happened to find some pictures of something which I had never seen pictures of before, although I've been a Brando fan. In fact, I didn't know there were any pics of this in existence. This is Marlon in his very first professional stage role, playing Nels in I Remember Mama in 1944, He was 19 or 20. According to crosscity.com, these were scanned from a 1945 issue of "Stage Pictorial Magazine."

The trailer for Church Ball, yet another underdog, misfit sports story.

  • "'Church Ball' is the story of Dennis Buckstead (Andrew Wilson) and his team of uncoordinated misfits from the Mud Lake Ward. It's the last year church basketball will be officially sponsored by the church and whoever claims this year's trophy...keeps it for life. Everything is at stake-pride, glory, honor-and Dennis is charged by the ward bishop (Fred Willard) to take his team of ultimate misfits to the final regional tourney and claim the coveted title of regional champions. Only one team stands in their way...the Crystal Hills Ward, with the always-victorious lawyers, the Bracken brothers. With the notorious Brackens standing in the way...the last game of church ball is set to be the most important and potentially biggest brawl in history - winner takes all. Church Ball - it's not how you play the game...it's whether you win or lose."

Fascinating stuff! Uwe Boll: Money For Nothing. Here's what the submitter wrote:

  • "Not sure if you've seen this, but check out this link examining how Ewe Boll continues to get funding (and more and more of it). Basically, it claims that under German tax law designed to encourage investment in the arts making money-losing films actually *makes* you money in tax write offs. Yep, it's the Producers come to life, except perfectly legal and with no con involved -- except to the viewers. It's a wacky world indeed.

OSAMA ANNOUNCES BOOK CLUB ... Madman on Collision Course with Oprah

  • This is one of Andy Borowitz's best columns. I laughed at just about every line.
  • Mr. bin Laden’s glancing reference to “Rogue State: A Guide to the World’s Only Superpower” immediately sent the book soaring to the top of the best-seller lists, inspiring the world’s most wanted evildoer to form his new club.
  • Hours after he announced “Osama’s Book Club,” hopeful authors and publishers deluged Mr. bin Laden’s cave with books, hoping to get a blurb or a mention in his next terror tape.
  • In a new tape released today, Mr. bin Laden revealed his club’s first selections, including several anti-Bush books by filmmaker Michael Moore. Other choices, however, were more unexpected, such as “Memoirs of a Geisha,” which the terror mastermind called “a sensual feast.”

Movie Reviews:

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

 

 

 

Kla$h (1995)

Kla$h (1995) is a Canadian thriller set in Kingston, Jamaica. You need to ask yourself two questions. Do you like dance hall music (sort of a cross between ska and reggae), and do you like Jamaican accents. If the answer is not to either question, pass on this film, as, without the soundtrack and the Jamaican dialgoue, it is a weak crime/heist/double cross plot filmed on zero budget with poor production value. The story is told through the eyes of Giancarlo Esposito, a recovering alcoholic and photographer who is sent to cover a music festival called Klash. He runs into a former flame, Jasmine Guy, who drags him into her underworld, and a plot to steal $1M from the Chinese mob boss who is stealing it from the Klash ticket office, and who has literally branded her as his girl.

Esposito is sort of hip, and not a total loser, but rather a player who has never made it. The bad guys are hard-core bad. Jasmine Guy shows breasts in a dark sex scene. Cedella Marley plays a tough police lieutenant brilliantly.

IMDb readers have this at 4.0. There are no reviews available. I can't recommend this film based on plot, acting, or production value, but you might, like me, enjoy the sounds and the cultural aspects of the location. This is a D.

Air Erotica (2002)

Air Erotica (2002) is a soft-core flick undiscovered by IMDb. Based on the cast, I am guessing it started life as a hard-core sex film, and was cut to make it a hard R. Other than one establishing shot of a plane landing at a small airport, the entire film takes place on two simple sets, one supposedly an airport nightclub where the star works part time, and the other the same woman's living room.

Certainly, it is more like a hard-core plot. A flight student intends to open a charter airline with an inherited prop plane as soon as she gets her license. To give herself a competitive edge, she plans to turn the passenger area into a party, complete with hot stewardesses. The film consists of interviews with applicants for the flight attendant jobs, and sex scenes between the star and her boyfriend, a frequent flyer who is skeptical of her plan.

This is a C, in that all of the women show everything in decent light, the sex scenes have some heat, and there is an overall concept to tie it all together. It is also nice to see some new faces and unenhanced or moderately enhanced body parts. More plot or character development could easily have elevated it to a C+.

It was only by referring to older projects, and a little guesswork, that I was able to identify all four women in the cast, because nothing in the credits equated cast to character. All four women give three B performances in credible sex scenes.

Some old some new, all of them borrowed...here are collages of movies that Tuna capped and I strung together.  It is the typical extraordinary range of great-looking gals that Brother Tuna grabs (in a digital sense) every day of the year.

Gina Paluzzi in The Pig-Keeper's Daughter Heather-Elizabeth Parkhurst in Bikini Summer 3 Irene Montala in Fausto Jackie Nealon in Bikini Summer 3



And a couple other bits of beauty thrown in for fun.

 

Rhona Mitra from the remake of Spartacus and Scarlett Johansson looking downright breathtaking.

 

 

 

 

 

 


I don't think the following clips need any introduction other than that they comprise all the female nudity from 1990's The Hot Spot. The actresses exposed are Jennifer Connelly, Virginia Madsen and Debra Cole. If you want to know more about this movie please read Scoop's review and Tuna's remarks in the Movie House, since Jennifer didn't seem to have left them speechless :-)
 
So what do we have in the nudity department?
 
  • Breasts and buns by Debra Cole and Jennifer Connelly, our Fun House Goddess and Academy Award winning actress.

     

  • Mostly dark breasts, buns and a few glimpses of her pubes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) if you look very carefully by Virginia Madsen, who for some reason, as Scoop remarked earlier on these pages, didn't have the career she deserved.
