"Entre las piernas"
Entre las piernas (1999), or Between Your Legs, is a Spanish thriller staring Victoria Abril, Javier Bardem and Carmelo Gómez. As the film opens, a man returns home from a business trip, gives his daughter a stuffed animal, and the baby sitter puts her to bed. Then the baby sitter changes clothes in full view of him, he ravishes her, and the daughter wakes up and starts hitting him with a sharp object. Cut to a therapy session led by him for sex addicts. It is there that we meet some of the main characters.
Bardem is a successful screen writer, who is addicted to phone sex. Abril is the wife of a police detective, who takes her dog for a walk in the park every morning, and screws a random stranger. What better place for two compatible sex adducts to meet than a sexaholics anonymous meeting? They leave together, and begin what will blossom into a relationship. Meanwhile, Bardem discovers that tapes of his phone sex are for sale all over the city, and a body is discovered in the trunk of a car. Guess whose husband is assigned to investigate the death. The victim was a wannabe screen writer, who, of course, knew Bardem.
Gómez catches on that his wife is seeing Bardem, and suspects him of the murder. Meanwhile, we learn that the corpse was involved in the tapes, and that Bardem's partner was selling them. The partner also just happened to be shacked up with Bardem's ex wife. Then their is a plot element that I couldn't make fit anywhere. One of Gómez's colleagues, whose wife left him for another man, tried to get back together with her after the two were in a car crash where he died and she lost a foot. SHe rejects him, so he shoots her, then kills herself.
While I have become a huge fan of Spanish cinema, which is clearly world class, I do not get Spanish thrillers, and this is no exception. Cristina Brondo as the baby sitter shows breasts in a lengthy scene, Victoria Abril shows a breast through a sheer bra, and some unknown actresses show breasts in some secret tapes that the screenwriter's partner is selling. IMDB readers have this at 6.9 of 10. It is only available on Region 2 PAL from either Spain or Germany. This is well photographed, but did not seem very thrilling to me. C.

"Lethal Weapon 2"
Lethal Weapon 2 (1989) is one of those rare sequels that was excellent. The team of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover works well together, they managed a pretty good plot, some very imaginative action, and introduced Joe Peschi as an obnoxious protected witness. The most memorable scene for me is the one in which Glover is trapped on a crapper wired with a bomb. The bad guys are South African diplomats, but their diplomatic immunity, of course, doesn't slow down Gibson at all.
Patsy Kensit, as Gibson's ill-fated love interest, shows breasts in a lengthy sex scene. The film is a perfect blend of humor and action. The bad guys are really bad, there ae plenty of chases and stunts, and I love the decapitation by surfboard scene. IMDB readers score this 6.9 of 10. Ebert awards 3 1/2 stars. It received 60% from Rotten Tomatoes. For me, this is a great odd couple cop action film, every bit as good as the original, and is a C+.

MOVIES:
One more of Katherine Lang in
Soul Assassin
I first reviewed and capped
Red Meat in the Fun House
Dec-4-2000. It appears to be a bit higher on the radar now, so I took a pass at
it again, but it was very difficult to work with.
MAILBOX:
(scoop's replies in yellow)
WE WON BAND OF THE MONTH! Thanks SO SO much for your help and
mention on your awesome site! Not only did we win "Band of the Week" we had
the most votes of ANY band in October so we won "Band of the Month" and $1000!!
We now move on to the finals where we compete against nine other bands for
$10,000 and a trip to New York City to perform at an event for Rolling Stone
and Jim Beam! Thanks again for your support! We'll keep you posted!
Bret/Code Sunshine
No prob. Of course we will be fully repaid when your
song, "Uncle Scoopy and His Nephews", hits #1 on the charts, and you invite us
all to join you as your guests at the Scoopstock Festival: Three days of love
and drugs - well, drugs, anyway. Mainly, if you guys make it big and do a rock
video, think four words - "director's cut: Winona naked". And when you hire
Winona for that vid, make sure to count the guitars before she leaves the set.
OTHER CRAP:
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 Lawdog or
Junior or C2000 or Realist or ICMS or Mick Locke, or somebody else besides me)
- If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too ashamed to admit it.

A few more 'caps of Betsy Russell. She was a serious babe who seemed more than willing to show off what the good lawd gave her, but after giving up the goodies in four movies she was gone... without a trace. Way too late now, but how I wish she'd have given Shannon Tweed a run for her money.

Here's some odds and ends from stuff capped the past few weeks; they are either a few more ne'er before seen caps of babes I sent in before or whole new babes on DVDs I had capped for other reasons.
First up: Janelle Brady from the movie Class of Nuke Em High. Her short but very sweet topless scene was included on the Rabid Grannies disk. Stuck a couple of frames together to get as complete a view of Janelle as possible.
Karen Grosso in Up Against Amanda. No real goodies. Just a view of her in a one-piece (collages 1 & 2) and some mild pokies in a nightgown. A real attractive woman.
Back by popular demand (well, okay, two fellow readers of the Funhouse and a couple more guys in the shop) is Regina Russell in Wolfhound. She's getting all smooched up by Julie K. Smith, who even slips her the tongue (bottom left frame of the 1st collage). Regina shows off her el primo hooties in all three collages.

Perennial body double Shelley Michelle in Rising Sun. Upskirt while dancing in the first collage; hooters while being used a sushi board in #2.
And finally Jr...about Elisabetta Canalis, who you described in yesterday's Funhouse as the future Mrs. Scoopy Jr. Uh, only after she is the former Mrs. Brainscan! I marvel at the results of Darwinian evolution that a specimen like her could ever be generated. She has to be the Michael Jordan of nekkid babes.

'Caps and comments by Hankster:
Today we take a look at 1971's "Werewolf Shadow". First up 2 scenes of "Babes in peril" with a couple of unknowns, one on a sacrificial alter and the other getting the ax. Then we move on to Barbara Capell having her blood drained in a struggle with the vampire woman. Then its gorgeous Gaby Fuchs in some tame scenes, but stay tuned for more of Gaby.
- Barbara Capell (breasts can be seen in links 3-5).

ROLLING STONES TEAM WITH NBA TO "LOVE IT LIVE"
But The Stones Look Half Dead - The Rolling Stones have signed a
promotional deal with the NBA. A TV spot debuted Tuesday that mixes
footage of NBA games with the Stones performing on their current tour. The
theme is "Love It Live." Mick Jagger's father was a sports professor who
helped popularize basketball in the U.K. and coached Mick on his high
school basketball team.
Now, Mick's old enough to be dribbling once again.
Of course, this was back when basketball was played with a large, round
rock.
Rock and basketball just go together...Like Keith Richards and Dennis
Rodman.
LIZA'S REALITY SERIES ABORTED
Sad Reality - The New York Post reports that VH1 has killed the
long-delayed Liza Minnelli reality show out of frustration with her control
freak husband, David Gest. They said he wouldn't let Liza come out of
their apartment even when she wanted to shoot, he banned her from watching
dailies, and canceled filming about 20 times. He was also such a neat
freak, he made the crew take off their shoes and wear surgical booties, and
he made a female producer stick her head in his oven to examine a speck of
dirt.
By the end, the whole crew wanted to stick their heads in the oven.
No, David's not gay! He's just a very fussy, extremely tidy man who
happens to have an unhealthy love for Liza Minnelli!
Actually, this sounds like it might've been pretty cool.
Michael Jackson refers to them as his "weirdo friends."
J-LO PUTS THE SQUEEZE ON BEN
She Has Him By The... - US Weekly reports that there's a video Jennifer
Lopez and Ben Affleck don't want seen. During a break from filming at a
Los Angeles restaurant, J-Lo reportedly reached down the front of Ben's
pants and gave his crotch a big squeeze. This was caught by someone taping
a nearby bridal party. An embarrassed Affleck apologized to the bride's
mother for the lewd display.
She accepted his apology...and $300,000 from the Enquirer.
She accepted on one condition: that she could reach down there, too, and
see what all the fuss was about.
He could've stopped her, but...Naaaaaaaaah!
