Young, Single & Angry
This is a micro-budget relationship dramedy about the perils of the modern
dating scene, as written by a woman for women. The focus is on female
self-esteem. At this moment it is the #1 chick-flick of all time, as measured
by our normal standard: the IMDb score from females (9.3 in this case) minus
the IMDb score from males (5.3).
The only real nudity comes from a dude, as you might expect, but the female
lead, a virtual unknown named
Sarah Blevins, did do two
strategic nude scenes in which you can't see much at all.
The Man Who Loves
I'm not exactly sure what was going on in this Italian movie, because I
watched it without sub-titles. If I understood the plot (which is not likely),
the lead actor dumped a devoted, successful, and beautiful woman (Monica
Bellucci) because he wasn't really in love with her. Sigh. I guess he was just
holding out for true love! If so, he seems to have miscalculated,
because when he did fall in love, she dumped him, leaving him without love and
without the consolation prize of hot, sweaty sex with Monica Bellucci.
If that's really what happened (and, again, I would not bet on it), then
this is yet another chick-flick written by a woman in which the male
characters behave like women. As all guys know, it is insane to ditch a
spectacularly beautiful woman who is totally in love with you. The proper way
to end the relationship is to use her as a sex toy four times a day,
subjecting her to every known perverted sex act, and even some unknown ones,
until SHE breaks up with you. That way there's no guilt, and plenty of fun
along the way.
And if she never takes the bait and refuses to break up with you? Oh, you
poor dear. I pity you, having to engage with Monica Bellucci in every possible
sex act four times a day until you die. What can I say? You'll never find your
true love. Oh, life is harsh.
All joking aside, the sensitive melodrama was written and directed by Maria
Tognazzi, daughter of the legendary character actor, Ugo Tognazzi. It was
filmed in and around Turin. I once wanted to retire in Italy, and I again want
to move to Italy after seeing how gorgeous and interesting it looks in this
flick.
Anyway,
here is an English-language review if you care what really happened. As
for me, I only watched it to see
Monica Bellucci topless.

"No Escape" (2008) (V)
It's the latest Czechsploitation from
BoundHeat.com starring Rena Riffel as an Ilsa the Wicked Nazi she-wolf. A
couple of anachronisms: Nazi WW2 era war vehicles have modern German license
plates and the women have "Adolf Hitler" moustaches between their legs.
Full nudity and gyno-cam by all with Marie Veckova sporting a strap-on dildo
If you want to see Marie Veckova in all her gynocological glory, she goes
by many other aliases such as "Mia Ross"
and "Hailey Comet" and stars in her first hardcore lesbian video "Les Angels".
The next Czechsploitation will be a prequel, "Blood Countess 2," starring
Kristina Uhrinova as a younger Elizabeth Bathory, who was originally played by
Kira Reed. It should be released at BoundHeat.com by the end of this week.
Interestingly Kristina also played Girl #4 in the first Blood Countess movie.

Changeling
2008
In the last thirty years, the Los Angeles Police Department hasn't
exactly enjoyed a stellar reputation, but in the 1920's, the LAPD was
known as the most corrupt and brutal department in the country. Directed
by Clint Eastwood, this 2008 crime drama is based on a true story of a
woman who is subjected to terrible treatment for simply asking the LAPD to
do its job.
Christine (Angelina Jolie) is a telephone company supervisor and single
mother. While away at work on a Saturday, her 9 year-old son is abducted.
Police in Illinois find a boy who says he is the son, and the LAPD return
him to Christine, but she immediately tells them it isn't her son.
Unwilling to admit a mistake, they browbeat and threaten her, telling her
that since he's been gone for several months, he of course has changed.
Determined to prove that this boy is not her son, since he's three
inches taller than the mark of her son's height that she had made on the
wall, and after checking with the boy's dentist, teachers, and others who
know him, all of whom confirm he's the wrong boy, Christine confronts the
cops, pleading with them to resume the search for the real Walter.
When they continue to refuse and threaten her, she enlists the aid of
an activist preacher and takes her case to the press. Immediately,
Christine is classified as crazy by the police and thrown into a mental
hospital where she can have no contact with the outside world. There, she
is threatened and brutalized as they try to get her to sign a statement
admitting she is mistaken, and the returned boy is in fact her son.
A gripping and extremely well done flick, with great performances.
Undoubtedly, this puppy will win some awards. The caps are from the Blu-ray
version.
