"Chinese Chocolate"
Chinese Chocolate (1996) is a Canadian film in Mandarin and English which explores the plight of Chinese immigrant women in Toronto. As the film opens, we see two women arrive on a China Airlines flight. The first is a famous doctor, who has been waiting three years to join her husband, and has left her mother and son in China for the time being. Her husband doesn't show up to get her. She finds out the next day that, not only has he been living with another woman for two years, and intends to marry the other woman, but he was killed in a traffic accident on the way to the airport. The second is a young and naive arrival, who is to attend school in Toronto. She is met by a Chinese professor, who takes her to a student residence, where she is totally lost, as she speaks no English. She chases after him, and he ends up bedding her, ignoring the fact that he has a pregnant wife and young child at home.
For most of the film, we see Chinese women screwed over by men, but they do manage a surprise happy ending. All in all, Chinese women in Toronto get screwed by men pretty much the same way women everywhere get screwed by men. I never did figure out what the title had to do with the story. Shirley Cui, as the doctor, shows breasts in two different scenes.
IMDB readers have this at 5.3 of 10 based on 9 votes. The only review listed was lukewarm about the film. There were certainly some cultural aspects brought out that played a part in the women being used and abused or cast aside, but I think many women will find much to relate to. It is my kind of film, but I had trouble keeping interested. C-.

- 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 Lawdog or Junior or C2000 or Realist or ICMS or Mick
Locke, or somebody else besides me)
- If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too
ashamed to admit it.

'Caps and comments by Hankster:
Today we take the old time machine all the way back to 1968 and a made in the Philippines horror classic "Brides
of Blood".
First up we have the lead actress Beverly Powers a buxom lovely who fights off a determined rapist and then gives us some
very impressive cleavage in a nightgown and in her final scene while still in the nightgown meets her demise at the hand of the
monster known as the evil one. While Beverly never did completely expose those twin towers, sometimes it's what we don't get to see
that turns us on even more.
To wrap things up we see some unknown virgins stripped and tied up (Those "Babes in Bondage" again) and offered as a sacrifice to the
monster.

Sarah Chalke |
As I've mention in the past I think it's been officially written into the show "Scrubs" that Sarah Chalke must appear in her bra at least once per show. However, last night's episode didn't feature a bra...it was an even better naughty nurse outfit! Great cleavage 'caps by Lifeson32.

McDONALD'S TWEAKS ITS SANDWICHES
Make The Fish Soggier! - McDonald's is making some changes to its
sandwiches to help boost sagging sales. Among the tinkering: they'll steam
Filet-O-Fish sandwiches to melt the cheese, add more sugar to hamburger
buns to make them toast more easily, and they're bringing back the original
Big Mac "secret sauce."
Also known as "ketchup."
With the secret ingredient: sugar.
They're adding more sugar to Big Macs to boost the sagging number of
lawsuits.
McDonald's customers don't want more sugar! They want more fat!
BEN AND J-LO'S MOVIE "UNRELEASABLE"
J-Lo Hits Bottom - Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's co-starring movie,
"Gigli," has been retitled "Tough Love," the debut's been repeatedly
delayed, and a preview went so badly, Affleck reportedly had to separate
the producer and director to prevent a fist fight. The studio insists it's
fine, but an anonymous preview critic at the Ain't It Cool film website
said it's so godawful, it's unreleasable. He said the acting and dialogue
are Razzie Award-bad, J-Lo plays a lesbian hit woman who turns straight
after having sex with Ben, she seduces him by saying "Time to baste the
turkey," and she performs a humiliating five-minute monologue about her
genitals.
Maybe they could turn a profit if they renamed it "The
Vagina Monologue."
I take it the engagement is off?
It would be more believable if sex with Ben Affleck turned a straight
woman gay.
It's called "Tough Love" because forcing someone to sit through it is
punishment.
J-Lo's CDs prove that nothing is so godawful, it's unreleasable.
JIM CARREY'S DAUGHTER NEEDS MORE MONEY
Cash And Carrey - Jim Carrey's ex-wife Melissa is asking a judge to award
her more child support because their 15-year-old daughter wants to pursue a
career in show business, and $10,000 a month isn't enough for her needs.
Melissa claims their daughter requires bodyguards, a personal trainer, a
$200,000 studio for her Pilates exercise equipment and musical instruments,
an agent, professional photographs, and classes in drama, music recording
and arranging, singing, tennis, dance, Pilates, computers and horseback
riding, plus a private ski instructor.
In case she wants to audition for the role of James Bond.
And Jim can afford all that because he succeeded in show business while
living in his car.
Jim makes $25 million a picture, and he can't do half that stuff!
Sounds like Jim's not the only one in his family who likes
to talk out of his ass.
Other stuff...
While the covers in the Retrocrush article were all very nice (well, except Hall & Oates), they left out the sexiest album covers ever. They were on the LPs put out in the '70s and '80s by an MOR sax player named Fausto Papetti (sic?). The music was boring as hell, but they sold like hotcakes because the covers were like Playboy spreads. They made the Ohio Players covers look like a nunnery's yearbook.

Hey Scoop,
Apparently on March 12, 2003 on the NWA TNA ppv series, a female wrestler was stripped of her top, does anyone have caps of this?
