Californication
This week's best nudity comes from Rachel Miner as a Suicide Girl working
as a "Personal Assistant," or as she likes to think of it "Slave." (Film
clip)
Madeline Zima's brief nudity was just a flashback scene to footage we've
already seen. (Film clip)
 
Halloween
I watched the leaked workprint. I don't want to write a review since I
don't know how much will be changed when it opens theatrically, but I can
tell you that (1) it's not a straight remake of Carpenter's film in that
there is extensive running time dedicated to the childhood of Michael Myers;
(2) the graphic violence (including a brutal rape) is what you can expect if
you have seen Rob Zombie's other films.
The capture quality ranges from barely adequate to utter poop, but here's
a rundown of the plentiful nudity, At least you can see what will be
available.
First, Sherry Moon Zombie shows her butt in a stripper sequence. She
plays the killer's mother.
Next, Hanna Hall shows her chest as Michael's older sister.
 
The next bit of nudity is the top of a girl's butt. She's an inmate being
brutally raped by two trustees or guards in an institution. (In Michael
Myers's cell. Poor choice of bedrooms.) I did not capture it.
The first victim of the grown Michael Myers is Kristina Klebe. She
actually does a very brief frontal which was too dark to capture from the
source, and a well-lit rear shot which I had to scrap because of motion
blur.
  
Michael's final victim is Danielle Harris, who played a little girl way
back in Halloween 4 and 5. She's actually 30 now, but can play much younger
because she has an unlined face and is very tiny. (Third
party film clip)

Anita
(1973)
Anita (1973) is a Swedish film supposedly based on a real story. It
stars Christina Lindberg as the title character. She is 17, and a true
nymphomaniac, compulsively sleeping with men she doesn't like, then
immediately abandoning them. She is pre-orgasmic, and has all of the
expected self-esteem issues. She doesn't get along with her parents
and seldom attends school, She has nearly run out of local men
whom she hasn't already done, so she takes to picking them up at the train
depot. She takes one man to a makeshift tent at a construction site,
and as she is leaving, is literally run into by a psychology student
played by future international star and Scandinavian superstar
Stellan Skarsgaard, then just beginning his career. He moves her into a co-op of music
students, and decides to cure her. He realizes that sleeping with her
would completely kill the relationship, but the more he knows her, the
more he likes her.
Despite the attempts of foreign distributors to market this as an
exploitation film with titles like "Swedish Nymphet," Anita is really
an honest attempt
to show nymphomania and its tragic effects on the afflicted. The original Swedish title is
the unsensational "Anita - from a teenage girl's diary." Because of
its serious treatment of nymphomania as a tragic disease,
Anita is not at all erotic, despite the typical raised bar for
Scandinavian nudity. The film could have done a
much better
job, however, at the psychological aspects of her condition, and the
transfer is abysmal, although probably the best source material available.
With a better transfer, this might be a C- for nudity lovers, but, as it is, call it a
D. The image quality is too poor to please flesh-seekers, and the
drama is too lame to satisfy the turtleneck crowd.
IMDb readers say 5.1 based on 59 votes.
Christina Lindberg shows everything in several scenes. Danielle
Vlaminck, as her mother, shows breasts and bush through a sheer nighty.
Several unknowns also show body parts.

Convoy
The story involves a trucker named Rubber Duck (Kris Kristofferson) and his bitter feud with a crooked sheriff named Dirty Lyle (Ernest Borgnine). Things get out of hand when a fight erupts in a diner between the two,
forcing Duck and his fellow truckers to make a getaway to the Arizona/New Mexico border. Duck's convoy of trucks grows, as he becomes some sort of folk hero. But when Spider Mike gets pinched by Sheriff Alvarez down in Trucker's Hell, it's up to the Duck to bust him out.

The Dog Problem
The best thing I can say about this 2006 alleged comedy is, I've seen
worse. Unfortunately, not many times. Actually, a lot of people liked this
movie (7.0 with 406 votes on IMDB), but with all due respect to them, I
thought it sucked. A good cast was totally wasted on this stinker.
A writer is forced to end his therapy after having spent all the
earnings from his first book to pay for it. During the final session, when
he asks the therapist what to do, he's advised to get a dog to be a
calming influence in his life. Naturally, the dog turns the guy's life upside-down. People try to get
take the dog from him. He meets a stripper who accidentally loses the dog.
Thugs chase him. He chases the dog.
It sounds funny. It isn't. Somewhere along the line, they forgot they were making a comedy. The
movie became way too talky and philosophical, and very boring. There were
some amusing lines, but what could have been a really funny story line,
perhaps even a good slapstick, turned into boring dreck.
Throwing in a few strippers (that didn't strip, as usual) helped a
little, but not much. I spent eighty-eight minutes watching this film.
Five minutes of that was well spent.

The Comedy Wire
Comments in yellow...
Monday, the Congressional paper Roll Call revealed that in June, Idaho
Republican Sen. Larry Craig was arrested in a Minnesota airport men's toilet by
a plainclothes cop who busted him for lewd conduct. The officer said that after
his arrest, Craig gave him a business card that identified him as a Senator and
said, "What do you think about that?" Craig pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and
paid $500. Craig said he shouldn't have pled guilty, and the cop "misconstrued"
him. His spokesman called the arrest a "he said/he said misunderstanding."
Craig is a married grandfather of nine, and a big proponent of adoption.
* He's made several attempts to adopt George Michael.
* Democrats are at a loss: they want to attack Craig, but their platform
supports gay sex in public toilets.
* A description
of what Craig allegedly did. It's all because he has a "wide stance" in
the bathroom. Seriously.
Monday, beleaguered Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigned. Gonzales said
he'd listened to the American people.
* All of them, on both their landlines and cell
phones.
