Cloistered Nun: Runa's Confession
(1976)
Shudojo Runa no kokuhaku, is a
Nikkatsu Roman Porno, nunsploitation subdivision.
Runa has become a
nun only to be ravaged by a perverted priest then seduced by a nun. She just
can't catch a break. She entered the convent when her half sister stole her
boyfriend. Sis now runs a ballet school, sleeps around a lot, and is surprised
when Runa pays a visit. Runa tells her she has the real estate deal of a
lifetime for her and her boyfriend, who is into real estate. Sis and the
boyfriend both fall for the scam. There is lots of screwing, meanwhile, but it is
nothing compared to the final screwing the sister gets.
Director Masaru Konuma didn't
normally pull any punches on the sex and violence, and this is no exception.
This film is an excellent genre effort in Japanese with English subtitles, and
fits within several categories nicely. It is easy to understand, is a great
revenge flick, includes lesbian action, horny nuns and a very interesting form
of Japanese calligraphy done by painting your genitalia and sitting on a piece
of paper. Like many of the Roman Pornos, it is an economical 72 minutes,
and is a quick watch.
Highly recommended if this type of film is your cup of tea. Or sake.
Runa is played by popular singer Runa Takamura from the band Golden Halves,
and her half sister by Kumi Taguchi. Both show breasts and buns. An unknown nun
also shows breasts and buns, and another unknown shows breasts.

Patsy Kensit
Some of the more obscure films from pop star slash actress.
When she was lead singer for Eighth Wonder, she was the Britney
of her time, having conducted her first public affair in the pages
of the tabloids when she was still only 15
years old! She had also started an acting career as a child and continued
that career in parallel with her singing. While she never became
especially good at acting, she did manage to forge a long career at
it. In her thirty-something years in the biz, she has never appeared
in any production with an IMDb rating of 7.5 or higher. Seventeen of
her films are rated below five, and 22 more of her productions are
rated in the fives, possibly making her the all-time Queen B among mainstream
actresses. She finally found her niche in 2004 when she moved from
films into Soap Operas. The first year she was nominated as the
"most popular newcomer," in the National Television Awards in the
UK, and the next two years she was nominated as "best bitch" in the
British Soap Awards. Now she's cast aside her Britney identity and
is en route to being the Joan Collins of her time.
Other trivia:
- She was one of the first well-known stars to acknowledge
implants when she instantly and obviously went from a 32b to a 35c
in 1997.
- Although she seems to have been around since the big bang, she is
still in her thirties!

A film clip of
Angelina Jolie in Beowulf. The quality is quite poor, probably
from a cam, but you can get the general idea.
A film clip of
Helena
Bonham Carter in Wings of the Dove. It is one of the 25 best sex
scenes ever filmed by a real actress. If it weren't so goddamned
dark, it might be #1.
Two from Unlawful Entry, one from the prolific Ray-Liotta-as-psycho
genre. Here's
Madeleine Stowe and
Sherrie Rose
Eurostar Sydne Rome in Was?
Although she lived in Italy and worked exclusively in European
movies, she's actually an American. She was born in Akron and her
dad was a CEO.

Comments in yellow...
Better learn to control your eyes in New York City: Councilman Peter
Vallone has introduced a bill that would make it illegal to glance at a naked
neighbor. The New York Civil Liberties Union protested, but Vallone claims that
it is meant to target "the worst of the worst," such as perverts who stand at
the bottom of stairs and look up women's skirts. Vallone said he's trying to
work on very specific language for the bill so it will not endanger people who
are just looking out their own windows and see someone naked.
* A less enlightened city would just make it illegal for
the other person to be walking around naked.
* You know a city is run by liberals when women have the right to sunbathe
topless, but it's illegal to look at them.
The movie "A Christmas Story" has become such a cult classic, fans call
themselves "Ralphies" and are holding their first "Star Trek"-like convention
next week in Cleveland, where it was shot in 1983. Several of the actors,
including the "evil elves" who shoved Ralphie down the slide, will attend.
Visitors can have Christmas dinner at the C&Y Chinese restaurant and tour the
house that served as the Parkers' home. It's now a museum done up just as it
was in the movie, with the family's original rattletrap Oldsmobile in the
driveway and the famous plastic leg lamp shining in the window.
* That will attract fans of both "A Christmas Story" and
Heather Mills.
The long-delayed announcement of the cast for Donald Trump's "Celebrity
Apprentice" finally came Monday, but in some cases, the word "celebrity" is a
bit questionable. The biggest names are Gene Simmons of KISS, Stephen Baldwin,
Trace Adkins, Nadia Comaneci, Lennox Lewis, Carol Alt, Marilu Henner and Vincent
"Big Pussy" Pastore of "The Sopranos." The rest include Playboy Playmate
Tiffany Fallon, Nely Galan of "The Swan" and Omarosa, who's only known at all
because she was on the first "Apprentice" series. Trump bragged that 125
celebrities "were all begging to be on the show. The hardest thing was breaking
it down to these 14."
* It was hard enough just to narrow it down to one
Baldwin brother.
* If these are the 14 biggest celebrities, who was #125? That "Dude, you're
getting a Dell" guy who's working as a waiter now?
