Little Odessa
1994
Moira Kelly film clips,
frame grabs below
Scoop's
notes:
Little Odessa is a bleak, unsparing look at a
merciless hit man and the dysfunctional family that spawned him.
The hit man (Tim Roth) has always avoided taking
any work in Brooklyn because he grew up there, and his mandatory
professional anonymity is lost on that turf. Perhaps that's not the
only reason why he has stayed away from his home borough. Although
he's repelled by his ethnic Russian-Jewish background, he is also
attracted to it. He has an adoring younger brother who seems like a
good kid, along with an abusive and bitter father, a mother dying of
cancer, and some dangling threads from a former love affair.
He is forced to take a contract in Brooklyn and is
gradually drawn back to his childhood home, but when he revives his
relationship with his loved ones, his ability to function as a hit
man is radically impaired. He becomes vulnerable because he can't
keep the detachment necessary for his profession.
In a sentence, it plays out like Ingmar Bergman's
concept of an urban crime drama. The cold, depressing tone of the
film is accentuated by some somber classical and religious music, as
well as some stark photography of Brooklyn's Brighton Beach in the
wintertime, which looks like a ghost town - empty, dilapidated,
covered with snow.
The film was considered a spectacular debut for
director James Gray, although his career since then has stayed below
the radar: sometimes praised, but rarely noticed.

"Bag the Wolf"
(2000)
Up until last week nobody knew of the existence
of this low budget spy snoozer.
Deanna Dizadji: boob and butt having sex
Talia Russo: boob, buns, and some panties labia
lip slip
Jennifer Dale: cleavage, fully clothed sex
Julia Gorducova: topless whomever she is
Anne Shepherd: nosey landlady masturbating while
listening to tenant having sex with Jennifer Dale
Since then Deanna Dizadji is now Deanna Dezmari; Talia Russo is Toronto's best
known SunShine Girl (in fact she made the cover of the Toronto Sun the day
this movie finally aired); Jennifer Dale is still Jennifer Dale; Anne Shepherd
does mostly short films; and Julia Gorducova has fallen off the face of the
earth.
Here's Talia Russo in a more recent movie "The
Rocker"
... and Anne Shepherd playing a hooker in an
episode of Cock'd Gunns
"Hotbox"
(2009 TV series)
Amy Lynn Grover and Erica Cox have lesbian sex with each other during
massage session. They previously went lesbo with each other in the Jason Mewes
movie Bitten.

"The Beachcombers"

Set the time machine to the setting "before they did porn" and here's a
fresh Kehli O'Byrne (now Kelly Burns) in this 1987 episode for her very first
acting role.
"Paradise Falls"
season 3
No (female) nudity yet but American import Julie Brown shows a lot of
cleavage in episode 8. For someone who recently turned 50, she's still
sexy.
Kate Steen
More of Kate Steen, now seen in "Howie Do It"

Assassination of a High School President
2008
This 2008 dark comedy/whodunit has all the clichés you'd expect from a
teen movie, but still manages to also have a pretty interesting storyline,
and Mischa Barton topless didn't hurt, either.
At a Catholic high school, school newspaper reporter Bobby Funke gets a
request from the most popular girl, Francesca (Mischa Barton, who he has a
serious crush on): find out who stole the SATs, which she is convinced she
aced. Bobby can't say no, of course.
After some snooping, Bobby finds the SATs in the locker of the school
president (who also happens to be Francesca's boy friend). Furious, she
dumps the guy and takes up with her hero, Bobby. Unfortunately, another
reporter digs deeper and finds that someone has framed the pres, and Bobby
is the prime suspect.
Desperate to prove he didn't frame the guy, Bobby continues to dig and
finds a much more sinister plot afoot. One that could bring down a lot of
people, including beloved Francesca.
As I say, silly in parts but also a pretty decent thriller wrapped in
teen comedy, I enjoyed it.
