Junior is on holiday, so I am your acting compere for a couple of
weeks.
L'Alba
She's arguably the most beautiful woman I've ever seen; she
showed up at the MTV movie awards wearing a transparent dress
without a bra; her breasts are perfect; photographers captured her
in HQ images.
What more is there to say?
There aren't sufficient words for Alba's beauty anyway. She would
have given Shakespeare writer's block. The only negative to say about
her is that her perfection is just so damned annoying for those of
us cursed to mere mortality.
Some other women shone at that event, but were mere fourth
magnitude stars, as dim and undefined as photographic ghosts beside the
overwhelming brilliance that is L'Alba.
She's at it again
- Yawn. Those Paris Hilton topless pics from the other day, the ones
that looked like a strip from a photo booth, were actually clips
from this live German TV program. While holding one's nose, one
must admit that she looks great (zipped

1970. No, it's not a Twilight Zone thing. It's an
Arctic warming thing. (The article presents some hypotheses.)
-
Tony Award results.
- The Tonys did manage to hang on to their last thin thread of
respectability by not declaring Tim Curry to be "best actor" -
but he was nominated! I submit that it is not possible to
assemble any group of fifty or more actors in which Tim Curry is
one of the top five. It would not be easy to assemble a group of
six actors in which Curry is in the top five unless I allow you
to include Shatner.

- Lords of Dogtown and Cinderella Man underperformed relative

Dogtown barely managed higher per-screen revenues than Crash,
which is in its fifth week. Cinderella Man opened with a
passable, but uninspired $18 million

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.

Stripped to Kill (1987
Stripped to Kill (1987) is the first of the ripped stripper films. It is no
big surprise that Roger Corman produced it. When strippers start dying at the
Rock Bottom club, run by Norman Fell, Kay Lenz goes in under cover as a
stripper, but discovers she likes the power stripping gives her.
2/3 of the film is strip numbers, 1/3 murder mystery, with a suitably strange
ending. Unfortunately, the photography was not at all good.
IMDb readers say 4.4. It probably deserves more respect than that as the first
of a popular exploitation genre. It is a C-, lots of boobs and a little murder
mystery.

'Caps and comments by Johnny Moronic:
Elektra is a poorly written film that spends the
first half going round in circles trying to hide obvious plot points until
something finally makes sense, but by then the final showdown is upon us.
Jennifer Garner is all pouty and moody throughout and let's face it, this role
ain't that much removed from her role on Alias. I remember watching Suddenly 30
(13 Going on 30) and thinking, shit, Jennifer has a personality. It's just that
her role in Alias and here in Elektra is so robotic. Then again, how many action
heroes from America have a personality.
Her red costume is great and the cover I've got in front of me is rather
distracting. Now Jennifer, all you need to do is smile. Come on, it's not that
hard.
In the Louisiana swamp, people are disappearing, including the last sheriff.
A new one comes in to replace, him and takes over the investigation. But he also
has to deal with an environmentalist who he takes a shine to and an oil baron
who is displacing the natives from their homes for more oil. Eventually, we find
out that the people have been eaten by a monster, who the natives call "Manthing"
and it's up to the sheriff, the environmentalist and a disgraced native to bring
it down. If you can get over a bunch of Aussies (including some fairly decent
actors) butchering up a Southern accent, this film is a simple Marvel comic book
adaptation that doesn't try for anything grandiose (hence it's straight to DVD
status), but comes out so much better than Elektra, it's precedent Daredevil and
a whole bunch of other crappy adaptations. It's not great, but it's much more
watchable than the films mentioned. And Imogen Bailey getting naked in the
opening scene is a nice addition.
- Imogen Bailey (1,

In Face of Terror, Rick Shroeder is looking for
his sister who has disappeared while modeling in Spain. With the help of an
assistant at her modeling agency, he tracks her down, but it seems she's
involved in a terrorist plot which well, seems ingenious, but let's face it, is
pretty convoluted. Some nice looking women in this film, and a liberal dose of
nudity help, but don't expect anything great and you'll probably enjoy this
film.
- Paulina Galvez (1,

The Wrong Girl is a standard made-for-TV movie
plot about a mother who does not like the woman who her son has fallen in love
with. Throughout this movie, I just kept wanting this girl to prove the mother
wrong, then I realise I just wanted the girl to kill the mother, like she did
the son. God, that mother was a bitch.

Having been doing too many music videos lately, most recent ones haven't
interested me, and I really don't know what possessed me to cap this either.
Tamara was a part of a TV made pop group, who were terribly mismatched, and
disbanded before the year was out. Tamara is the first of the group to go solo,
and with this effort, she won't last long. The song (Ooh,
Aah) is pure, unadulterated shit.
- Tamara Jabar (1,

Marguerite
Moreau

Dann's caps from Easy. He wrote: Marguerite Moreau
plays likeable loser Jaime Harris in this 2003 comedy romance. Jaime is a namer,
a person who gives products their identity. Her name for herself is "jerk
magnet", as she bounces from one sorry boyfriend to the next. Expecting the
worse, she suddenly finds herself confronted with the problem of meeting two
really nice guys almost at the same time. This funny and very pleasant film,
with a top-rate acting job by Marguerite Moreau, was a big hit at Sundance 2004,
and most viewers will probably enjoy it a lot.
