Bad Girls (1994) could have better been entitled Bad Ideas. Take four beautiful women, turn them into hookers with a heart of gold, then have them battling posies, Pinkerton men, and an outlaw gang in a post dust-buster but supposedly authentic old west. Not only is this about 4 improbable characters, and the old West full of freshly pained buildings, dust-free dirt roads, and polite talking people, but they skimped on the nudity as well. Drew Barrymore, as one of the four, shows her right breast is two different scenes. Andie MacDowall may show breasts during a swimming scene, but at the distance this was shot, it could also have been a French Poodle.

They issued the girls a bullet shield sufficient to protect them from a Gatling gun, and are all expert shots with both handgun and rifle. We are to overlook the fact that one of them used to run with the very outlaws they are now at odds with, and also murdered a trick for demanding a kiss, and feel nothing but sympathy for these poor abused women. Not sure why I am ranting. Nobody else liked it either. This is a D+ -- Western lite with an extra helping of tomatoes, hold the dirt and graphic violence.

• A long featurette about making The Island
  • "Michael Bay ('Armageddon,' 'Pearl Harbor') directs the futuristic action thriller 'The Island,' starring Ewan McGregor ('Star Wars: Episodes I and II,' 'Moulin Rouge!') and Scarlett Johansson ('Lost in Translation,' 'Girl With a Pearl Earring').

    Lincoln Six-Echo (McGregor) is a resident of a seemingly utopian but contained facility in the mid-21st century. Like all of the inhabitants of this carefully controlled environment, Lincoln hopes to be chosen to go to the 'The Island,' reportedly the last uncontaminated spot on the planet. But Lincoln soon discovers that everything about his existence is a lie. He and all of the other inhabitants of the facility are actually human clones whose only purpose is to provide 'spare parts' for their original human counterparts. Realizing it is only a matter of time before he is 'harvested,' Lincoln makes a daring escape with a beautiful fellow resident named Jordan Two-Delta (Johansson). Relentlessly pursued by the forces of the sinister institute that once housed them, Lincoln and Jordan engage in a race for their lives to literally meet their makers.

    Rounding out the main cast of 'The Island' are Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou ('In America,' 'Gladiator') as the head of the security team sent to hunt down Lincoln and Jordan; Steve Buscemi ('Ghost World,' 'Armageddon') as a man who befriends Lincoln despite working for the institute; Michael Clarke Duncan ('The Green Mile,' 'Armageddon') as another resident who is unaware of his fate when he is selected to go to 'The Island'; and Sean Bean ('National Treasure,' 'The Lord of the Rings') as Merick, the chief antagonist.

Here's a good one for Junior's polls - assuming that this story is true, who would be the BEST and WORST people to end up sitting next to on a Dallas-Tokyo flight. Great scene for a Woody Allen movie. Woody is sitting naked in coach when he is informed that he's been bumped up to first class. He is thrilled at first - only to end up sitting next to Jerry Falwell, while the guy who gets his coach seat is next to Angelina Jolie.

MOVIE REVIEWS:

Here are the latest movie reviews available at scoopy.com.

• The yellow asterisks indicate that I wrote the review, and am deluded into thinking it includes humor.
• If there is a white asterisk, it means that there isn't any significant humor, but I inexplicably determined there might be something else of interest.
• A blue asterisk indicates the review is written by Tuna (or Junior or Brainscan, or somebody else besides me)
• If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too ashamed to admit it.

Of the Best Actress Winners who showed nudity in their award winning roles, who gave the best nude performance? I think I've included every actress to show Oscar some skin. If I missed anyone, let me know.

There are a couple on the list that push the definition of nudity, (Hunt's scenes were see-thru and partial, MacLaine's nudity was very brief, and Christie's was rear only) but it's my poll, so ppphhhtttt :-p

"Sex Is Comedy"
More a light drama than a comedy, this 2002 French film by director Catherine Breillat doesn't come close to some of her other works, nor is it as erotic, but on it's own, it is a decent if not great effort.

A director (played by Anne Parillaud) struggles to film a difficult intimate nude scene between two of her actors. Although both profess willingness to do the scene, they both have one problem. They hate each other.

Roxane Mesquida (who actually seems to have no problem doing nude scenes, judging by her other pictures) does a good job as the reluctant actress who can't stand her partner. Gregoire Colin plays the actor who can barely stand to kiss the girl, and is an egotistical jerk as well.

One gets the impression Breillat did this movie as much for herself as anyone, and it could well reflect some of the problems she's had, given that much of her work contains nudity and eroticism. Low key and sometimes slow to the point of being boring, but still some interesting parts.

• Roxane Mesquida

Finally, a cinema classic: Stefanie Casini trying to please Robert DeNiro and Gerard Depardieu in scenes from the 1976 Bernardo Bertolucci movie "1900". At first I capped this only to test the picture quality of a French TV-station. But I was happy with the quality of the images and the non-exisiting editing of this scene (A topless Casini is grabbing both DeNiro and Depardieu by their units)

PARIS HILTON DIDN'T IMPRESS "SNL" CAST
She Does Suck Like A Vacuum - A "Saturday Night Live" insider told TV Guide that Paris Hilton was not only a "minimally-acceptable" performer and an "energy vacuum" on stage, she was also one of the most narcissistic hosts ever. She was so self-absorbed, some cast members bet on which would be the first to have Paris ask them a friendly, personal question. Nobody won. Paris denied it, saying, "Everyone was like, 'Wow, you could be on the show every week. You're so chill.'"
