"Angels Hard As They Come"

Angels Hard As They Come (1971) is a motorcycle gang exploitation film from Roger Corman, written by Joe Viola (who also directed) and Jonathan Demme (who co-produced). It pits the Dragons against three Hell's Angels, whom they invite to a hippie commune ghost town they have more or less invaded for a drunken, drug crazed orgy. When one of the hippie chicks is killed, the Dragons blame the Angels. Janet Wood and Neva Davis show breasts in lengthy scenes, as does Becki Cross in a much shorter one.

The DVD is poor VHS quality, and is totally out of focus. This was one of the first, and probably the rawest of the biker exploitation genre, and shows an interesting clash between the pacifist hippies and the outlaw bikers. IMDB readers say 5.2 of 10. I will give it a C, as a solid genre effort.

    "War Of The Roses"

    The War of the Roses (1989) is the story of the divorce of the Roses, Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, narrated by Danny DeVito. DeVito (who also directed) is a divorce layer, and tells the story to a prospective client, to show him what divorce can be like. My favorite portion of the story was the first few minutes, when Douglas and Turner meet, jump into bed, and get married. Douglas works his way up to senior partner in his law firm, while Turner raises two kids and decorates the perfect home. Once the kids are ready for college, Turner turns to new interests. She starts a catering business, and decides she wants Douglas out of her life, and out of her house. Douglas fights her, hence, the War of the Roses.

    Turner is deliciously evil and vindictive, but there were far too few laughs for me. Turner wears a transparent wet white blouse when Douglas meets her, then has a two frame nip slip in bed with him later that day. IMDB readers say 6.4 of 10, and US gross was $83.7m. Ebert enjoyed it more than I did at 3 stars. The film, Douglas and Turner all three received Golden Globe nominations. The DVD transfer is good, but not perfect, with a little color noise in the darker scenes, but delivers on special features, with deleted scenes, photos, commentary, and more. I give it a C+, with the warning that the battle is so fierce and relentless that it is dark humor at best.

    UPDATES:

    MOVIES:

    I picked up Warm Texas Rain because Tuna was enthusiastic about it, and I agree. It is a very entertaining erotic thriller, with a wildly complicated plot. It has more double crosses than an Orthodox Church, but they were all fun, and it wasn't at all hard to follow. Steven Bauer did a nice job in the lead. (He's a better actor than I thought) Frankie Thorn was gorgeous as the Femme Fatale. There was plenty of frontal nudity from a stunningly beautiful redheaded woman. The eroticism was handled beautifully, building gradually ala Body Heat. First he saw her dressing. Then he happened to see her skinny dipping. Then he consoled her after she was beaten by her husband, while they were outside in the "warm Texas rain". Then they just had to have each other, and had a passionate sex scene

    I join Tuna in a very enthusiastic thumb up for this - one of the best of the genre.

    • Frankie Thorn. She's a fox. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

     

    Here's our girl Angie Everhart again in another soon-to-be-released erotic thriller, Bare Witness. When we started this site, Angie was refusing to do nudity, saying that it had to do with a promise she made her grandmother. Then she was doing the 9 1/2 Weeks sequel with Mickey Rourke, then she was walking around Cannes naked, and now she's taking over Shannon Tweed's role as queen of the erotic thrillers. Ya gotta love it when we get someone to come over to the dark side!!! Of course, I had to slap her granny around a little, and the old gal is kinda tough, but it was worth it.

    • 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 I inexplicably determined there might be something of interest.
    • A blue asterisk indicates the review is written by Tuna (or Lawdog or Junior or C2000 or Realist or ICMS or somebody else besides me)
    • If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too ashamed to admit it.

    Agnès Cassandre Full frontal nudity (although shadows make it hard to see below the equator) from "On ne meurt que 2 fois" aka "He Died with His Eyes Open" (1985).

    Charlotte Rampling
    (1, 2, 3)

    Chapter 3 of "The Abductors"....Today the 3 cheerleaders are untied and made to drop their panties. Gerie Bronson is tied up and suspended as they try to force her to cooperate.

    • Gerie Bronson topless in every frame. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

    Sheryl Lee
    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

    Topless and a few near misses down under in love scenes from the movie "Bliss" (1997). Looks like this was a hard movie to work with. DeVo did a nice job with the original 'caps and I edited them a tad to adjust colors in hopes of highlighting the goodies a little better.

    Charlotte Ross
    (1, 2, 3)

    The "NYPD Blue" star looks fantastic posing nude for a PETA ad! Bare bum, and lots of partial exposure of other goodies. Link #1 is a fantastic collage, links 2 and 3 are individual images from the collage.

    Sarah Jones
    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

    Excellent cleavage 'caps by Downdude of the latest Survivor babe! I might have to start watching that show again.

    Britney Spears
    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

    Britney fans will enjoy these new images from the April '02 edition of Arena. Link #5 is the cover. Links #3 and #4 have her in a black nightie. To me it looks like there is some serious padding up top. The mystery of her ever-changing breasts continues.

    Bjork Bjuck nekkid in her latest video. She has to do whatever it takes to disctract you from her "singing" I guess! Vidcaps by Cambo.

    Topless pop star's school gift
    The publication of topless photographs of a pop singer has led to her old primary school getting a new piano. Myleene Klass, a 23-year-old singer with Hear'Say, presented St Mary's school in Gorleston, Norfolk, with the Yamaha upright bought with cash received after a tabloid published the pictures taken when she was a teenager.

    Salma to get naked a lot
    Frida Kahlo was one of the most interesting women of the 20th century. In addition to being a great artist in her own right, she was the lover of Trotsky and Diego Rivera, to name two.

    She was also one of the ugliest women who ever lived, as she freely admitted, with a face so aesthetically challenged that she makes Sandra Bernhard look like Michelle Pfeiffer. Hell, she makes Steve Buscemi look like Michelle Pfeiffer.

    So who will play her in the movies? That famous ugly duckling - Salma Hayek!

    Ah, the magic of cinema.

    The good news is that Salma gets naked a lot, and she is therefore a much better casting choice than any ugly chicks!

    Scoop,

    As Tuna mentioned in the yesterday's review of "Joyride", "I certainly wish someone would get her into a good film and out of her clothes". It seems that there is a remote chance that this will happen in a French language movie called "L'Idol".

    She filmed sex scenes for it, but will she be nude on screen??

    Here is a link to an article where she mentions a few things about that movie.
