"Gang Related" (1997)

Gang Related (1997) is a bad cop movie staring James Belushi and Tupac Shakur as narc partners who have figured out a clever way to earn a little extra cash. The set up drug deals using dope from the evidence lockup, kill the buyer is what is made to look like a drive by, pocket the money, and return the evidence to lock up. The scheme is working great until a buyer ends up being DEA. They elect to frame someone for the murder, and, of course, pick the wrong person to frame.

They used a stripper, Lela Rochon, in their scheme, and also as a witness in their frame job. While she never shows breasts, she gives lovely views of her buns dancing on stage in but floss things, and shows cleavage and poke throughs elsewhere. AN unknown stripper shows her breasts. IMDB readers say 6.5/10. Maltin gives it 2 stars, or watchable for genre fans, Berardinelli likes it at 3 stars, mentioning that it is known as Shakur's last film, and praising the first 90% of the film, and I am closer to Maltin on this one. The first half of the film held my interest as the noose begin to tighten around Belushi and Shakur, but there were just too many plot twists, and I eventually got tired of trying to keep up. I give it a C. The film had a blockbuster opening on 1,260 screens, earning $3.286m the first weekend. Word got out quickly, and total gross was $5.717m.

    "An Eye for an Eye" (1981)

    An Eye for an Eye (1981) is a typically bad Chuck Norris martial arts film. Chuck resigns from the San Francisco pd after his partner is killed, ruining months of undercover narcotics work. When his partner's girlfriend is also killed after uncovering evidence, he kicks and punches his way to the truth. The film, according to cndb.com, has a long shower scene with Maggie Cooper. This scene is not to be found on the DVD, though the running time has not changed. The transfer was third rate, the plot is thin and trite, and Norris is positively wooden in the role. He looks like he pauses for direction between every punch, and has less change of facial expression than a corpse. The fight sequences are rather uninspired. In one, a bad guy gets up too soon, and throws himself back to the ground.

    IMDB readers say 5.0/10, and Maltin says 2 stars. I say C-, a weak genre film, with no nudity, or even close calls.

    "The Last of the Blonde Bombshells" (2000)

    I adore quirky British comedies, and I am a huge fan of swing/big band music, so there was no way I could not like this joint BBC/HBO effort. Dame Judi Dench plays a recent widow who played in a WW II big band called the Blonde Bombshells, and remembers it as the best time of her life. She hears a street guitarist who plays swing music, and starts joining him to "help him get the changes right." When her grand daughter catches her playing her tenor sax, she tells her about the band. She asks, "What do you know about WW II, 1934 to 1944?" Answers the granddaughter, "We beat the German's one nil." When the male drummer from the otherwise all girl band makes contact with her doing her street act, they decide to reunite the band to play at the Granddaughter's school.

    Naturally, Dench's family doesn't approve, and the old band members are not all alive, and are decidedly characters. The film jumps effortlessly between WW II memories and the present day, and features a fantastic assortment of tunes from the era. Other cast members include Ian Holm, Leslie Caron, and Olympia Dukakis. IMDB readers say 7.5/10. In one of the mostly rave comments, one reader said, "It's a refreshing antidote to some of the pretentious garbage being ground out by the studios." I couldn't possibly agree more. I am off to try and find a sound track. Even if you are not usually fond of musicals or romantic comedies, I think you will like this one unless you detest the music. B, despite the total lack of nudity.

    Today's theme, "the extended version". There is a special unrated version of Gia available only on VHS. I compared that to the DVD/broadcast version. And of course, today is the day when the special Apocalypse Now Redux hits the stands, with nearly an hour of additional footage from the 1979 cut, and many of the old scenes enhanced by refinements in photographic technique. WOW! Oh, yeah, it also has a lot of nudity not in the 1979 cut. 

     

    Gia As promised, here is a quick overview of what has been excised from the unrated version of Gia to produce the DVD version, and rough VHS captures to illustrate). The unrated version is available on videotape.

    • the famous fence scene - there are a few extra seconds of Jolie kissing Mitchell's nipples through the fence (see #1 below)

    • the lesbian love scene immediately after the fence scene - contains about an extra minute of footage, including Jolie's pubic area (#2 below), and breast-rubbing (#3 below)

    • the disco scene - a couple additional scenes of lesbian kissing (no nudity)

    • the shower scene -a few extra frames of breast rubbing, and some fairly good Mitchell nudity (#4 below)

    • the "I could be a housewife" scene - about 5 seconds of additional footage in which Jolie lifts up her blouse, sticks her breast in Mitchell's mouth, and says "dinner is served". Very cute and sexy, and well performed, but Jolie's back is to the camera.

    Here are the pictures  (1, 2, 3, 4)


    Apocalypse Now (1979, 2001) is, of course, a masterpiece. I have my quibbles with it, but I also think it is one awesome piece of filmmaking, even a suitable candidate for the honor of being the best ever. If you say it is your favorite film, I won't be surprised, although I will know that you haven't seen "Shakes the Clown". See my detailed comments if you want to know all about the new version, released today with about 50 minutes of additional footage, and my assorted whining. I think my article is longer than the movie. And that ain't easy, because the movie is longer than the actual Vietnam War. Lots of new nudity.

    This is not just a re-cut, but also a new restoration of the negatives from entirely new processes that were not available in 1979. It looks specfuckingtacular. This is a must-own for your collection, even though without special features.

    Water Damage (1999) is a grade-b mystery/thriller with three strong drawbacks (1) a trite plot involving memory loss (2) a Baldwin (3) most important, a lack of tension in the execution. The director has five credits in the IMDb, and the best one is rated 4.8. Three of them aren't rated at all because they lack five people who have heard of them..

    America is such a rich country. We sometimes forget that other countries are too poor to have even one Baldwin. But we are a generous people and willing to share our good fortune, so feel free to inquire with their agents. If you have an extremely poor country with limited food for your people, you might want to pass on Daniel.

    There's the comment page, but the pictures from Deathstalker (1984) are in the page two days ago. (Barbie Benton!!)

    Circus of Horrors is the 1960 version of an exploitation film with crossover appeal, one that hoped to play in legitimate theaters. In other words, no nudity. Bikinis and color were a major deal in 1960 grade-b movies.

    Additional comments by The Night:
    About today's images....I have been tweaking with the color settings to get rid of the dark/blue layer and make her goodies visible. I must say that she has the nicest, but also weirdest looking breasts, kind of pyramid shaped, oh well she looks mighty fine so who cares.

    Hey Scoop...
    This week's Entertainment Weekly lets us know that R&B singer (and all around babe) Blu Cantrell admitted that she modeled for pornographic magazines early in her career and that the pictures are know on the internet. I have searched and found nothing. Was wondering if anyone knew of these and/or had seen them.

    Thanks, B.
