My Third Wife, George
My Third Wife, George (1968) is an exploitation comedy out of Florida. It
starts with a Mama's boy spying on the naked upstairs maid (Regina Koo).
Mama made short work of that, returning him to his room with her cane in a most
uncomfortable place. The remainder of the film is narrated by the boy, now grown
into a man looking back on his life. We see him go into a bar after mama died. He is lonesome, and begins to tell his story in flashback.
His first real experience was with three "hippie girls" who took turns with
him after getting him high. He appreciated it, but he had little in common with
them. Still lonesome, he hired a housekeeper, and ended up marrying her, but she
had flings with a swimming coach and a gorilla impersonator, and that ended
that. He next wife was trying to catch him doing something that would cause her
to win a big divorce settlement. When the detective she hired couldn't find
anything, he took advantage of a stenographer's visit to force indiscretions at
gunpoint.
Then there is his third spouse, George, who doesn't seem to be at all sexual.
The entire film plays out tongue-in-cheek, and rather silly. Ralph is
supposedly getting increasingly drunk as his story goes on, making him harder
and harder to listen to. The humor, intentional and unintentional, far outweighs
the eroticism, but I did get the occasional smile from this one. It also has a
fitting twist at the end.
This is a genre-specific C-, watchable only because of copious nudity and bad
movie energy.
IMDb readers have this at 4.9 but with nearly no votes.
As seen below, all of the women show breasts and buns, including Regina Koo,
Bunny Ware, Barbara Walker, Sheila Howard, Erika Von Zaros, Bonnie Laurant and
Majesta.

The Thirst
In order to judge a movie like 2006's The Thirst, you first have to ask
yourself if you like vampire movies. If you don't, then don't waste your
time. If you do, this one has a little different slant to the typical
vampire story, a "vampires gone good" kind of tale, so it's a little
different. It also has tons of blood and gore, so it's not for the
faint-hearted.
Lisa (Clare Kramer) and Maxx have a long history together. They both
were heavily into drugs and then cleaned up, with one another's help. Now,
though, Lisa is doing exotic dancing and Maxx suspects she's also back
into drugs. She is, but the drugs turn out to be chemotherapy drugs,
because Lisa is dying of cancer. As Lisa lies in the hospital waiting for
the end, she is visited by Miss Mariel, who bills herself as a "death
therapist". Shortly after, Lisa, faced with inevitable death, kills
herself, and Maxx drops into a deep funk.
After turning himself into a hermit, friends come and drag Maxx out to
a weird Goth nightclub, where among other strange things, Maxx sees a girl
he is sure is Lisa. From there, things turn very crazy, and ultimately,
very bloody and gory.
No, it won't win any awards (unless there's one for blood and guts),
but it does have some interesting twists along the way, as Maxx eventually
has to decide what is most important in life (and death).
