Sexual Competitors (2001?) is the first episode of Vol. 2 of the Intimate Strangers series. This Vol. has the rather clever title, Little Acts of Naughtiness. As a quick review, this Skinmax series takes place in a bar (Intimate Strangers) owned and operated by Nikki Fritz, Kim Dawson, Tane McClure and Kim Yates. Each episode tells a tale about one or more of them and/or guest stars. The stories, while simple, are somewhat interesting, the photography is straight forward, without a million cross fades, swirling lights, or the old drag scenery by the camera to look like they have a dolly shot trick, and the sound track is not as obnoxious as is the norm for soft core. The set design is more lavish than expected, and the women always show everything. In short, this is a very well made series.

In Sexual Competitors, Brad Bartrum has sex with his girlfriend, Peggy Trentini, then suggests that they enter a magazine contest for adventuress couples, having sex in a public place, and taping it. She gets furious and splits up with him. He is set up on a blind date with Cheri Lacy, and she is a kindred spirit. They end up having a three way with Tamie Hannum in the mens room at Intimate Strangers.

Nudity from Peggy Trentini, Cheri Lacy, and Tamie Lynn Hannum. IMDb has little or nothing on this series. For me, it is a clear C+.

A note from Charlie

You mentioned that the Rebecca Romijn topless love scene in the "Godsend" preview was cut from the US release.

Good news! "Godsend" was just released here in France, and that scene is intact. So it should be in the DVD.

While wandering, Zatoichi discovers a remote mountain village at the mercy of Ginzo, a ruthless gang-leader. Ginzo disposes of anyone who gets in his way, especially after hiring the mighty samurai ronin Hattori as a bodyguard. After a raucous night of gambling in town, Zatoichi encounters a pair of geishas -- as dangerous as they are beautiful -- who've come to avenge their parents' murder at the hands of Ginzo. As the paths of these and other colorful characters intertwine, Ginzo's henchmen are soon after Zatoichi. With his legendary cane sword at his side, the stage is set for a riveting showdown."

• What has caused the logjam for Carnegie Hall tickets? Blame it on the Bossa Nova. I have always taken issue with those psychologists and self-help gurus who advocate personal responsibility. My philosophy: why blame yourself when you can blame it on the Bossa Nova? Personally, I blame the Bossa Nova for every mishap in the last half century, both personal and global, ranging from the Cuban Missile Crisis to my current backache to the Abu Ghraib scandal, and including the brief, inexplicable career of Anson "Potsie" Williams. In fact, I am currently at a loss to find a source of blame for events which occurred before the development of the Bossa Nova, like that whole crazy Hindenburg thing. If it had just happened a few years later, the hysterical announcer could have been saying "oh, the Bossa Nova".

• 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.

Kathy Shower, Part 2

Absent any more celebrity sex tapes, we now resume our regular programming with Part 2 of Shiloh's tribute to the great Shakespearian actress, Kathy Shower. Come to think of it, very few Shakespearian actresses appear in films with titles like Erotic Boundaries.

Perhaps these tips will help if you have trouble with the codecs for these movies:

Shiloh says:

FYI when I hypercam vids to make the file size smaller I use DivX MPEG-4 Fast-Motion for the video compressor, then I use virtualdub to compress the audio. The properties for the vids says the video codec:  DivX Decoder Filter & audio codec:  Morgan Stream Switcher which I'm not familiar with. When I compress the audio with virtualdub I use MPEG Layer-3.  A friend of mine told me about compressing the audio about (6) mos. ago. Like I said previously, only been capping for a year & a half & I'm no expert. Hopefully this info will help members with the proper codecs for my vids.

 

When I cap big brother's I use hypercam mostly & sdp & asfrecorder if the set up allows me. I stopped using camtasia cause the file sizes were always too big, could never figure out the process, over my head lol, plus it cost too much to buy in my opinion.

A reader says:

You mentioned that some users were having trouble with the videos on your site. There is a tool designed to determine what codec is needed for a video. http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ Hope this is useful to you or your users.

Scoop says:

I made the .wmv versions of each video. The codecs for these: Windows Video V8, Windows Audio 9. The upside of these is that you know the codecs, and they'll play in the Windows Media Player. The downside is that they are slightly larger, and slightly lower quality.

"Live Nude Girls"
This 1995 comedy is a babefest, no doubt. It's also a chick flick, but one that most men will enjoy if only for the unending scenery.

When friends get together for a sleepover party to celebrate the impending marriage of one of them, they gossip about their love lives and pretty much everything else, as the bride struggles to decide if she really wants to go through with it.

Outstanding cast of attractive women, some great writing and directing by Julianna lavin (only a woman could do this movie well), and ample nudity (but not necessarily by the ones you'd expect) make this a worthwhile view.
