Uncle Scoopy (aka Johnny Web)
What a way to return. Two of the worst movies of all time in the IMDb scoring system. Werewolf is rated 1.8 at IMDb (33rd worst ever), and Whatever It Takes checks in at a sparkling 2.7.

 

Arizona Werewolf was once spoofed by the MST3000 gang, and rightfully so. It's another masterpiece from one of our favorite Fun House filmmakers, Tony Zarindast, director of Hardcase and Fist

 

Whatever it Takes stars Andrew "Dice" Clay, Fred "The Hammer" Williamson and Don "The Dragon" Wilson as Italian gangsters. If you are familiar with those three guys, that's all you need to know. For the rest of you, The Hammer is an African-American gentleman who used to play professional football, and Wilson is an Asian or Eurasian fellow who used to be a champion kickboxer. So they aren't exactly the first guys you'd think of to play The Godfather and Serpico, respectively. 

There are some cute nekkid fitness babes, but they are uncredited or miscredited in the credits, so i don;t know who they are. The "unknown 1" plays Kim in the film, but there is no Kim in the credits! I guess she must be in there somewhere, because she has a fairly large part with several lines in several different scenes, but she must be miscredited. The other two appear only momentarily. Unknown three has no lines at all, the other one only a "hello" kind of thing.

 

Saving Silverman is a generally unfunny slapstick comedy (Elya and Katya watched it with me, but nobody laughed) about two guys who try to save their best friend from a lifetime with the beautiful bitch from hell. The DVD is an r-rated version, even though the theatrical release was PG-13. There is actually quite a bit of nudity, so I assume it was all added for the DVD.

  • Odessa Munroe and Tracy Trueman (1, 2)

 

Pollock is Ed Harris' labor-of-love biopic of Jackson Pollock, the 20th century's most respected American painter. Harris commissioned the script, produced, directed, starred ....

Only one thing. How good a director could he be if he hired Jennifer Connelly and kept her clothes on? No nudity from her or anyone else.

Tuna
"Light Sleeper" (1991)

Light Sleeper (1991) is written and directed by Paul Schrader, and is the third in a trilogy of his writings, after Taxi Driver and American Gigolo. All three are about disenfranchised, lonely men, trying to overcome their past and escape loneliness. Willem Dafoe gives a gripping performance as an aging ex addict, who has stopped using, but still deals because that is the only job he knows. He works for Susan Sarandon, who sells to up-scale New Yorkers, but dreams of retiring and opening a cosmetic company.

Dafoe runs into an old girlfriend from his junkie days, Dana Delany, who is clean and sober, and is visiting her mother in a hospital. It is clear that she never got over him, but she fears that he would lead her back to addiction. They end up in bed once in a hot, but not very explicit scene where we see her right breast. Performances by Dafoe and Sarandon stand out in what is a very well-acted film.

Maltin likes it at 3 stars, and Ebert adores it at 4 stars, considering it Schrader's best work. IMDB readers are less impressed at 6.8/10, and box office was just over $1m against a budget of $5m. C+

Aesthete

If you are a fan of Rachel Weisz, of the Mummy flicks, then this is a must-see. Rachel shows off her pubes, and engages in a fairly spirited sex scene in a film called "I Want You". Skip to number 18 for the pubes, check in around number 5 or 6 to see her breasts in the sex scene.

Weisz (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

Celeb News

From Pat Reeder of the Comedy Wire. Pat's words in yellow, IMDb stories in  white.

Dear Scoop,

Welcome back from vacation.  I've missed your movie reviews. Here's a story from IMDB News.  Apparently, since "Swordfish" is old news, the breast P.R. agent who was handling Halle Berry's hooters (so to speak) has moved on to a new client, Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Doesn't Understand Breasts

Perky actress Jennifer Love Hewitt finds the fascination with breasts bizarre. She says, "I think it's hysterical, to be honest. I really don't get the fascination with boobs. I really don't understand. I mean they're just...fat. There's nothing interesting about them. Sure they look good in the right dress, but why obsess about it? Every time I go out in public they post a new picture up and they write things like: 'Does the left one look bigger than the right?' It's ridiculous."

More from IMDB News.  She really shouldn't do this in front of a lot of guys who've been eating raw oysters.

Cameron Diaz's Fishy Business

Cameron Diaz is drumming up business at her Miami restaurant Bambu, by putting on a sexy floor show. According to reports, there have been a lot of empty chairs recently at the upmarket sushi eatery, which opened in trendy South Beach last summer. So the entrepreneurial actress decided to take matters into her own hands recently and give fellow diners an extra
value meal. Dishy Cameron, 28, parked herself at a table in the middle of the restaurant with a group of girlfriends, where they indulged in multiple courses of raw delicacies. Then, as stunned onlookers watched, she pulled off her turquoise blue T-shirt and switched into a skimpier black tank top - right at the table.
