Dracula 2000 (2000) is a very pretty film, loaded with stunning visuals. That being said, it is easily the worst Dracula film ever made. Not only that, but most of the story takes place in New Orleans during Mardi Gras, and they only have one pair of boobs in the crowd scenes, and that has motion blur. The film starts with the obligatory sailing from Transylvania to England, then cuts to the present day. There was to have been a lengthy montage showing the complete history of the Count up to the present day, but budget constraints reduced the scope of the intro. Dracula has been well hidden in the dungeon of an antique dealer, who has been extending his life by filtering Dracula's blood through leeches, then injecting himself. His goal is to find a way to kill Dracula and save his daughter, who has also been tainted with the blood.

Thieves break in looking for whatever treasure is worth the security in place, and free the Count on an airplane trip to New Orleans. The film, after that, is the good guys vs. the count and his converts, who all learned to fly from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. In the end, Dracula's origin, and the reasons for all of his allergies (silver, religious artifacts, wooden stakes, etc) are explained. Colleen Anne Fitzpatrick briefly shows her nipples while having sex on the ceiling with Dracula

Berardinelli has it exactly right at 1 star. For some unaccountable reason, the film grossed $31m, still short of the $35m budget. IMDB readers say 5.2/10, with 64 giving a one, and 76 giving a 10. I say D+.

Snatch is supposed to be rated r for "blah blah blah ... and some nudity". I still don't know where the nudity is, and I've watched it three times. None in the deleted scenes, either. 2-Disc set

The Body was supposed to end up as a big-time movie. Banderas, Derek Jacobi, Vilmos Zsigmond as cinematographer, locations in Rome and Jerusalem. After they saw the movie, the studio virtually buried it. It opened in NY and LA, and amassed a domestic gross of $33,000, which is about three guys at NY ticket prices. The movie stinks, but you might find my review good for a laugh or two.

Last week's premiere episodes of Paradise Falls had more than 250,000 viewers, the biggest such audience in that timeslot for the Canadian cable channel Showcase. The second batch of episodes shows Chantal Quesnelle heating up the hot tub. Butt and some breast exposure, and nearly showing if she is really is a natural redhead. Future nudity may be shown by Marni Thompson (already nude in a Hunger episode) who plays the town sheriff and newcomer Michelle Latimer who plays the resident Goth.

Just out on video is the latest flick about everyone's favorite Count. (Well, excluding Count Chocula and The Count from Sesame Street of course...."One not so scary, scary movie ha-ha-ha".)

Here is Scoop's review from when it first hit the theaters.

There's not much nudity, but there is some nice skin from some hot babes....mostly in cleavage form. Colleen Fitzpatrick has the only topless scene while she gets it on with Drac. Surprisingly, as hip as this new Drac his, I don't recall hearing Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" during the love scene.

You had a piece in the Fun House about Kerry Fox doing a blow job in an upcoming movie. There is another English actress who either did it or was damn close.

The actress in question is Harriet Walter but I can't for the life of me remember which BBC mini series it was in.It could have been "The Men's Club" but I can't say for certain.

I have outtakes of the scene on one of my tapes and it would have been done quite a few years ago as the first bird listed on the same tape is Alonna Shaw in "Double Impact" --I think.That came out around 1991.

She's getting it on with her lover--both starkers--and she's underneath when the phone rings and he crawls over her and stops with his schlong right over her mouth area.She grabs it with her hand and guides it to the mouth area when they cut to him on the phone with a surprised look on his face.

Maybe she decided to have a bit of fun with him during the shooting of the scene but whatever it was pretty explicit stuff for a TV Mini Series----not cable.

I'll see if I can knock up a few caps or a small clip of the scene to give you an idea.I notice you have nothing of her in the Encyclopaedia.She's not what you'd call a pretty but rather an attractive woman with a good body and who is damn sexy and doesn't mind getting her gear off.

I've seen her in a few things doing nude scenes and she seems to really put her all into it and she never looks like she's just acting the part but rather doing it for real.Who knows??

Comic Poundstone Pleads Innocent to Lewd Acts

By Dan Whitcomb

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (Reuters) - Comedienne Paula Poundstone (news - web sites) pleaded innocent on Tuesday to sexually molesting a girl and endangering four other minors, and was ordered to stay away from the alleged victims and all unsupervised children.

Poundstone, wearing a lime green suit, pink shirt and plaid tie, pleaded not guilty to three counts of ``lewd acts on a child'' and one count of child endangerment during a brief hearing in a courtroom packed with members of the press and her supporters.

"Not guilty, your honor," Poundstone told Los Angeles County Commissioner Roberta Kyman when asked for her plea.

The popular 41-year-old comic stood next to her attorney, Steven Cron, during the proceeding and addressed the court only to answer questions from Kyman or from Deputy District Attorney Gina Satriano as to her rights.

Poundstone, who has three adopted children and has cared for a number of foster children, appeared shaken after Kyman ordered her not to contact the alleged victims -- who have reportedly been in her care -- even by phone or in writing.

All of the children who were in Poundstone's care have been placed in foster care.

Prosecutors have kept a tight lid on the case, refusing to identify the victims or detail the accusations.

"That protection is for the alleged victims in this case because Ms. Poundstone is a celebrity, to protect them from suffering any irreparable harm," Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Gina Satriano said.

FACES 13 YEARS IN PRISON

Kyman also ordered Poundstone to stay away from ``any minors'' without that child's legal guardian present, an order that Cron said outside court was typical for child abuse cases but unnecessary for his client.

Cron said Poundstone -- who faces a maximum of 13 years in prison if convicted on all the charges -- was feeling "nervous, anxious, but also confident we'll be OK in the end," adding that she was "not happy" about the so-called protective orders.

"You don't need protective orders against Paula," Cron said. "She's been a wonderful advocate for children's rights." "I can't tell you how upset she is," Cron said. `"She loves children. In many ways, she is a big kid. She loves to laugh and have fun and for her to be told that she has got to stay away from kids is very painful for her."

Poundstone, who was comforted by friends in the courtroom after the hearing, was taken out of the building by a back entrance to avoid reporters. Outside the courthouse Poundstone's supporters said they were shocked at the charges and expected her to be ultimately exonerated.

Satriano said the "lewd acts" charges against Poundstone all related to a single child, a girl. She said those charges were filed against defendants accused of "any type of touching of a child under the age of 14 for a sexual purpose."

The child endangerment charge against Poundstone involves four other children, she said.

Poundstone, a stand-up comic who appears on the syndicated game show "To Tell the Truth," was arrested by Santa Monica police on June 27.

Wait a minute...this guy wrote she is a popular comic. Don't these journalist do any homework!? She hasn't been popular or funny in years, if ever.
