Side Effects (2005):
Here's a little bit of nudity from curvaceous Katherine Heigl in a
low budget indy film called Side Effects. It played in some film
festivals last year, but was never released theatrically as far as I
can see, except for one theater here and there.
Showtime info.
And here's a sample of what you will see there.
Suh-weet!
Battle in Heaven (2005):
Once more, this is the film which shook up the film
festivals with explicit sex scenes. And here they are:

spectators. Little Bird was the first bull in the ring's

In comparing the Oscar selections to the IMDb scores, I
concluded that the academy did a respectable job. There
were no mediocre films nominated as in recent years (I'm
looking at you, Lasse Hallstrom). All five nominees are
among the year's top 13 films. Everyone has a pet project,
but I can't see any strong support for the argument that
Walk the Line was hosed. There were eight films at 8.0.
Some of them had to be cut. The two films that obviously
were hosed were Sin City and Batman Begins, because
Hollywood decided that this is the year of the low budget
message movie. (The five nominees are highlighted on the
list below.)
Kenya dismissed as "naive and culturally insulting"
Tuesday an offer of powdered dog food to feed starving
children.
- Can you imagine? The guy who made the offer thought
that the recipients would prefer to give their children
some corn-based meal rather than watching them starve to
death. Oh, that naive, foolish, culturally insulting
monster!
- I'll have to go back and read my sociology books. I
had forgotten all about those cultures in which starving
one's children is considered preferable to giving them
some corn meal.
Did you know that birds make tools?
- "A raven has to fish a kind of bucket with food in
it, out of a tube. The bird was only given a stick. Just
a ordinary straight stick. But very soon the bird
understands the stick wont work. So the bird manages to
make a stick with a hook to pull the bucket out!"

A Housewife Named Brandi (2003)
This is another of the obscure soft-core films made with hard-core
performers, and is the weakest I have seen so far. Brandi (Ander Page)
buys a computer, and then wonders what to do with it. She finally
elects to start an adult web site and sell lingerie, one of the few
things she has a personal interest in. She enlists the aid of her
neighbor and friend, Nichole Luv, as another model. Meanwhile, across
town, a snotty yuppie couple tune in to the site's first webcast, and
decide they will create a competing website. The rest of the film is a
pecker contest between the two groups wherein they try to outdo one
other with increasingly complex sexual shenanigans.
Ander Page is the best known of the four women. Other players are
Nichole Luv, April Hannah and someone only known as Remy. All four do
full frontal and rear nudity.
The simulated sex scenes never produced any heat, partially due to
cross-cutting between the two locations. It was also difficult to
believe that people were caught up in sexual frenzy while they were
reacting to the other site's hit counter. The photography is fine, and
the nudity is ok, but the acting is weak, and the plot even weaker.
IMDb has not catalogued the film
This is a very low C-.

First of all congratulations are in order on the
improvements to the Fun House. A new lay-out, more powerful search engines...
things keep getting better and better. We're really being pampered more and
more by our favorite webmaster. You sure ain't resting on your laurels.
Now
it's time to get on to the bare facts.
First I've got Fun House regular
Edwige Fenech in
a triple B performance in 7 (1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7) clips from 1979's La Poliziotta della Squadra del
Buoncostume which translates like "The Policewoman from the Vice Squad." The
film is supposed to be funny but really is dated nowadays and I wonder
if people considered it funny in its own time. These clips really are the best
bits of the film, if you ask me.
I'll end with 4 clips from this millennium. A
fully nude Elsa Zylberstein shows breasts and buns in bed with Thierry
Lhermitte who doesn't exactly behave like a hermit. All this happens while
she's talking on the phone to a certain Albert. As it turns out later in the
film it is not the King of Belgium ;-) Before I forget to mention it, the
clips come from the French movie Qui Perd Gagne ! (2004; Who loses wins). (1,

Our man from the future, LC, picked up some nudity in a best picture nominee,
and some very impressive nudity at that! To the left is Marie-Josee Croze in
Spielberg's Munich. |
LC continues with four from House of the Dead 2. Some people commented at IMDb
that this sequel is far, far better than the original. That sounds impressive,
but given that the original was directed by Uwe Boll, they could have taken
Gymkata and renamed it House of the Dead 2, and it still would have been an
improvement over the original.

Pat's comments in yellow...
Oscar nominations were announced Tuesday. "Brokeback Mountain" led with eight.
"Walk The Line" was snubbed for Best Picture, despite its Best Actor and Best
Actress nods. All the big box office hits, including "Chronicles of Narnia,"
"Star Wars," "Sin City" and "Harry Potter," were largely snubbed. And all the
Best Picture nominees are low-budget art house films and message movies: "Brokeback
Mountain," "Good Night and Good Luck,"
"Capote," "Munich" and "Crash."
* "Walk The Line" never had a chance: It's about a
straight couple who like country music. Too bad "Walk The Line" wasn't
about the love affair between Johnny Cash and Sergeant
Carter.
Mick Woods of Wakefield, England, bought a package of sliced ham at
the supermarket, but then he happened to read the ingredient list and noticed it
included "Dog shit." He said, "Obviously, I haven't eaten it. It sort of puts
you off...We spent 40 minutes laughing, but we haven't put any in the kids'
sandwiches." The meat packer said they'd fired the employee who altered the
label and are trying to recall all the packs.
* Also, if you look closely at their Olive Loaf ... those
aren't olives.
Paris Hilton denied that her publicists dumped her,
claiming she dumped them because she felt they weren't
doing anything for her
* Yes, someone of her talent should be getting FAR more
publicity! |
