Alpha Dog (2005 or maybe 2006 - tentative release date is
February 24)
Official summary:
"A drama based on the life of Jesse James Hollywood, a drug dealer who became
one of the youngest men ever to be on the FBI's most wanted list. The film is
the story of Johnny Truelove, a young man from southern California's San Gabriel
Valley whose ambition is to follow in his father's footsteps. When one of
Johnny's plans goes awry, his father is forced to step in and save his son from
a life behind bars."
It stars Emile Hirsch, Sharon Stone, Justin Timberlake(!), Dominique Swain, and
others. This film will be rated R for "pervasive drug use and language, strong
violence, sexuality and nudity" - all the things that make life worth living and
movies worth watching. You know a film is going to be fairly naughty when it
seems to have nudity in the trailer! Some fellow took said trailer and compacted
the best few seconds of it into a slo-mo which you should enjoy. (
Zipped .avi)
I'm not certain of this, but the bulletin boards claim that the two women are
probably Amanda Seyfried and Olivia Wilde.
By the way, you can no longer find the full trailer on line. The Russian site
which used to have it has posed a notice saying it has been removed at the
request of their distributor, whatever that means. (Their internet provider, I
suppose.)
Das Madchen Rosemarie (1996)
HBS Graphix made this film clip, and the quality is stupendous for its small
size (1.4 meg). Nina Hoss flashes a full frontal.
NOTE: this zipped clip is in XVID format. It may shut off Internet Explorer if
you click on it from there. Don't panic. That is a known XVID bug, and it is
annoying, but there is no danger to your computer.

"Taffin"
Taffin (1988) is to star Pierce Brosnan as The Quiet Man is to John Wayne. Not that the film is near the caliber of the Wayne classic, but this is a kinder, gentler Brosnan than we normally see. Brosnan, on the surface, is an Irish tough guy who makes a living as a strong arm debt collector. We soon learn that he has another side, as an ex seminarian, who is still a serious scholar, and looking for truth. He also frequently helps out the little guy. He is coerced into helping his home town prevent builders from taking out the sports field for a road access to a proposed chemical plant, then to help the townspeople chase off the evil developers and corrupt local officials who are perfectly willing to ruin the environment in the name of profit.
The developers have their own muscle (a seemingly endless supply), and it will take all of Taffin's ability to win this one. His love interest is played by Alison Doody. The nudity is breast exposure from two strippers, Tina Shaw and Colette Dolan. IMDb readers have this at 5.2 of 10. I thought this UK film gave Brosnan a character with more depth than usual to work with, had great pace, plenty of action, and many likable characters, making it an easy watch for me. This is a C.

'Caps and Comments by Brainscan:
Think of the movie sequels that have been superior to
the originals. Godfather II and The Empire Strikes
Back are arguably better than the brilliant movies
that came before them but of the movies I know and
love only The Road Warrior is out and out better than
what came before it.
When you consider the kinds of movies I watch so I can
capture some new stuff and send it in to the Funhouse
there are different criteria. Tits and ass, for
example...the PTA quotient. In how much on-screen
time and by how many gals and by how many good looking
gals do naughty bits show up. The more famous the
gals the better, but in the end it is all about the
quotient.
And that makes the previously capped and submiited
Vamps 2 soooo much better than the original Vamps.
Vamps 2 has the exuberant Glori-Anne Gilbert and about
a dozen other gals who look just fine, thank you.
Vamps traces the early years of Glori-Anne's character
but get this: 1) she is not played by Glori-Anne (the
actress's name is Jenny Huss); 2) she is more than
sort of a chunk; 3) she does not give up the goodies.
Who casts a woman in the lead of a stripper movie and
allows her to dictate the clothing removal terma of
her contract?
Jennifer Huss
Other stripper characters are played by Stacy Sparks and Tamika Hoffman and even though both do stripping routines each has exactly two frames of hooter exposure. WTF?!
Stacy Sparks
Tamika Hoffman
That leaves the heavy lifting to Amber Newman (who gets killed off in this original, only to show up in the sequel. I think that is explained in the sequel but I was not about to pay attention because when it comes to Amber it's a been-there, done-that kind of moment). And so the movie leaves it to Jenny Wallace to show off her extremely attractive frame. Jenny does have a kick-ass bod but she also has a Striesand-esque nose, so that when she lies down she looks like a two-car garage.
One of Jenny's stripping scenes really resonates around here. For it is late, you see, and the book shop owner locks up only to find Jenny in his shop and she sits him down, strips off her garments and gives the lad a lap-dance. Yes, that kind of thing happens to us all the time. At least that is what I tell the guys who work for me...lock up and there is some chance a nekkid babe will give you a lap dance. Uh huh. In the movie Jenny eats the poor lad, but I figured he deserved it since the shop looks like one of those stripmall chain stores that are driving privately-owned shops out of business. Would that only Jenny were part of a trend.

'Caps and comments by D Slack:
Scoop,
I went to Best Buy today looking for "House of Wax”" with Vincent Price. When I couldn't find it, I started browsing all the horror selections to see if it was included on a 2-in-1 DVD. That’s when I saw two "Swamp Thing" DVDs! I absent-mindedly picked it up and saw Adrienne Barbeau on the cover. Holy Shit! It's finally on DVD again! Apparently it was released in August 2005, but it took my Best Buy two months to get it. Here's the Amazon link
Granted, it is the PG version, but Adrienne still bounces her way through the movie. Wowza, so that's how natural boobs move! Based on all the current lollipop chicas with plastic boobs (or no boobs, ala Paris), I forgot how much real ones moved! MGM still managed to sneak in some nudity; and although it's a long shot, you can definitely see her left nipple. However, the extended frontal nudity is gone.
The DVD transfer is good. I have an .mpg of the original uncut nude scene, and the DVD is a lot cleaner and more vibrant. There are practically no extras on the disc, just the Theatrical Trailer and Subtitles.
I've included my own caps, 77 in all. Mostly cleavage. I think Hankster will appreciate some of these as Adrienne spends part of the movie tied up at a formal dinner and then chained up in a dungeon. There is one shot looking almost straight down as Adrienne runs by in a very low-cut dress. I tried my best with the caps, but they just don't do the bouncing boobs justice.

You vill vatch it, und you vill like it!
- UNESCO has passed a cultural diversity resolution which
essentially says (as usual) that a country's leaders, and not its
people, should decide what forms of entertainment they like! In
almost every country of the world, American movies are more
popular than the ones produced locally, so the French culture
minister said nations had a right to set "artistic quotas" because
85% of the world's spending on cinema tickets went to Hollywood.
- Apparently the alternate tactic - making movies which their
people will like better than American movies (which shouldn't be
so goddamned hard considering how American movies have sucked
lately) - seemed to be unreasonable to them.
Now THAT'S a Christmas gift!

New Orleans team. I suppose if the Saints also move to Utah, they
could be The Utah Latter-Day Saints.)

Weekend Box Office Results, October 21-23, 2005
- It was another anemic weekend, anchored by more weak new
releases. The Top 12 films posted grosses 27% lower than the
comparable group from last year.
- The top film of the week was based on a video game, and
received only 21% positive reviews. And that was the week's
winner. That kind of says it all.
- Moviegoers rejected the preachy Hollywood puffery of North
Country. The Oscar-hopeful's debut weekend was a paltry six
million dollars, although it appeared on more than 2500 screens.
- Dreamer, the family-oriented Seabiscuit clone from Dream
Works, received generally good reviews, did better than expected,
and finished in second place.
- The fourth new release, Stay, was expected to bomb, and did so
even more convincingly than anticipated, finishing out of the Top
12. It grossed less on 1600 screens than Good Night and Good Luck
grossed on 225
- George Clooney's Murrow film showed that a highly targeted
film can make a profit - if it is made for a modest cost. Although
it has not yet reached 300 screens, Good Night has already crept
up to $5 million at the box office, and it only cost $7 million to
make. Similar lessons were learned previously from The Gospel and
Waiting ..., which will turn substantial profits without
monumental grosses. I see that as a good lesson for Hollywood to
learn. I'd rather see them invest $140 million in ten to twenty
small pictures than in one Stealth. The updraft of that is more
choices for the audience, and I'm happy to see the industry
economics start to point in that direction.

MOVIE REVIEWS:
Here are the latest movie reviews available at scoopy.com.
- The yellow asterisks indicate that I wrote the
review, and am deluded into thinking it includes humor.
- If there is a white asterisk, it means that
there isn't any significant humor, but I inexplicably determined
there might be something else of interest.
- A blue asterisk indicates the review is written
by Tuna (or Junior or Brainscan, or somebody else besides me)
- If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too
ashamed to admit it.
