Splash is one of those PG films with an amazing amount of exposure. Tom Hanks is a workaholic wholesale produce broker, who does his work and his good-for-nothing brother's (John Candy) as well. He returns to Cape Cod for a break, and falls in the water. He is rescued by a mermaid (Daryl Hannah). He is instantly smitten, indeed, he was smitten by the same mermaid as a young boy, but has no idea she is a mermaid. She finds his wallet, and decides to visit him in New York. It seems mermaids are allowed to become human for a short time once in their life. She walks onto Liberty Island starkers, and the fun begins.

Director Ron Howard could have gone for over the top comedy, but, instead, focused on the love story, and lots of small but effective gags. Hannah has never been better, Hanks did his usual great job, and Candy was perfect in his role. Not many reviews on line, but Maltin and IMDB users give it 3 stars (6.4/10). I tend to agree. Pay special attention to the following images. 17 is the clearest nipple, but you have to hunt for it. In 11, you can see the crotch of her panties. At this point in the film, she supposedly didn't own any yet. Seeing Daryl again in this role, I started asking myself what my favorite Hannah film was. With 44, there are a lot of choices. This grew into multiple questions:

1) What is her best performance?
2) Which film did I enjoy her in most?
3) Which of her films is the best overall?

Surprisingly, my answer was different in each case. When Lawdog gets back, maybe we can study this question.

Molly Parker in the movie "Center of the World"...which has never been seen by anyone.

These caps are from an R-rated trailer (don't see many of those these days), and the rumor is that they will release the movie unrated. Which is cool because it features Carla Gugino as well as Molly, so it may be our kinda flick.

The complete naughty trailer (5.5 meg) can be viewed in .mov format at www.center-of-the-world.com.

Sisters (1972)

Criterion has added this film to their collection, presumably based upon the fact that it was the movie that first created Brian De Palma's reputation.

As you might expect if you know De Palma's work, it a Hitchcockesque crime and punishment film with some unexpected twists.

Margot Kidder is a model who invites a man over to her apartment. Before they get there, they are interrupted by Margot's ex-husband, who refuses to let her go. Yadda, yadda, yadda, the make love, they wake up the next morning and are interrupted by the woman's separated Siamese twin sister, who eventually kills the lover.

It just so happens that a reporter who lives in the neighboring apartment saw the murder. She calls the police. By the time the police respond, the ex-husband has returned and cleaned up the crime scene, hiding the body in a foldaway couch. Finding no evidence of a crime, the police pooh-pooh the entire incident, so the reporter hires a private detective. The detective follows the couch, the reporter follows the woman and the ex-husband, and you can guess the rest.

The odd thing about this movie is that it continues for about 40 minutes after all the plot points have been concluded. 40 minutes of anti-climax.

I'm now going to spoil it for you, but not really, because it doesn't take Dr Hawking to solve the mystery, and you'll have it figured out about 30 minutes before they tell you . As you movie fans know, there are only two possible solutions when a movie involves separated twins.

• Possibility One: They are separated and one died. We think the good one survived the operation, but in fact it was the evil one. (Insert chilling music here).
• Possibility Two: Even though we think they are both alive, there is no evil twin. Either there never was an evil twin at all, or else the evil twin died and the good one has assumed both personalities.

It was number two. Yes, you're right. This violates one of the most fundamental unities. It's exactly the same gimmick as multiple personality disorder. But they reveal this about halfway through the movie. So what is the point of continuing? Well, the movie did continue, but with some different suspense points, and frankly I'm not too sure what was going on, because the ex-husband turned out to be the surgeon who separated them, and he captured the reporter and drugged her.

We then see the next twenty minutes or so through the drug-induced hallucinations of the reporter, and they use the usual fish-eye lenses and extreme close-ups and the old cliche of where the drugged patient sees herself in all the external scenes she watches. I may have fallen asleep there for a while. I hope I didn't miss any nudity.

I did think the very last scene was quite creative and witty, and I won't spoil that one for you. Let's just say they seem to abandon the sub-plot with the private detective and the couch, and then bring it back after we have completely forgotten it.

Margot Kidder was briefly topless, and in a see-through negligee. She managed to show her breasts and speak in a French accent at the same time.

Various Babes
(1, 2, 3)

The various babes are actually Griffin Drew, Shayna Ryan, Ashlie Rhey, Maureen Flaherty in a 4 babe shower scene.

To recap...
"Loaded" (1994)

All three of these feature excellent quality topless images. As a bonus, the 'caps of Anulka have a little more of a bondage thing going on.

Here's a possibility...chances are, Voyager will make it home. I think too many fans would be pissed if they left the gang "lost in space" at the series finale. Perhaps Seven of Nine could join the crew of the Enterprise just in time for Star Trek X (the next Trek movie due out in 2001)?

Writers Elisa Bell and Jeff Kline are teaming with Sid & Marty Krofft Pictures' Randy Pope to develop the remake for the WB.
