The Mistress Club (1999) is another late night sex comedy. When Shauna O'Brien catches her husband in bed with another woman, and confides this to her friends Kira Reed and Griffen Drew, Drew informs them that she caught her own husband cheating with Kris Andre, and used the information to blackmail him into buying her a better house, and also started having affairs herself. When Reed, that very night, discovers that her own husband is a closet homosexual, the three form a "Mistress Club" to get laid and get even.

We follow their sexual exploits, many of which are humorous, and everyone lives happily ever after. We have breast exposure from O'Brien, Reed, Drew, Andre, and the unknown cheating with O'Brien's husband. IMDb calls it a drama, but it was intended as a comedy, ad did have some amusing moments. The girls each played a character with a different personality, adding a little interest to the film. The sex scenes were not very hot, and were not at all explicit, but did have a sense of honesty. IMDb readers have this at 3.4. It is a workmanlike example of late night couples entertainment, with enough comedy to keep it interesting. C.

MOVIE REVIEWS:

Words from Scoop.

.avi's from Shiloh.

.wmv files made by Scoop from Shiloh's .avi's.

NOTE: because of a unique combination of circumstances with the Windows media player and some substantial bandwidth theft, we will have to do all of our movie files in zip format. Left click on the files as you normally would to view a picture. When you get a choice, click on "save", and put it on your hard drive in the directory of your choice. UnZIP and play from there.

I know this is not especially convenient, but it allows the film clips to continue. I can protect .zip files from hot-linking in the same way I can protect still images. For some reason, if I protect .avis and .wmvs from hot-linking, they will not play in the Windows media player, and I can't get a satisfactory work-around. Perhaps I will find a better solution, but for now this new policy allows you to continue getting the movie clips you want to see, which is much preferable to my abandoning the clips altogether.

Perhaps these tips will help if you have trouble with the codecs for these movies:

Shiloh says:

FYI when I hypercam vids to make the file size smaller I use DivX MPEG-4 Fast-Motion for the video compressor, then I use virtualdub to compress the audio. The properties for the vids says the video codec:  DivX Decoder Filter & audio codec:  Morgan Stream Switcher which I'm not familiar with. When I compress the audio with virtualdub I use MPEG Layer-3.  A friend of mine told me about compressing the audio about (6) mos. ago. Like I said previously, only been capping for a year & a half & I'm no expert. Hopefully this info will help members with the proper codecs for my vids.

 

When I cap big brother's I use hypercam mostly & sdp & asfrecorder if the set up allows me. I stopped using camtasia cause the file sizes were always too big, could never figure out the process, over my head lol, plus it cost too much to buy in my opinion.

A reader says:

You mentioned that some users were having trouble with the videos on your site. There is a tool designed to determine what codec is needed for a video. http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ Hope this is useful to you or your users.

Scoop says:

I made the .wmv versions of each video. The codecs for these: Windows Video V8, Windows Audio 9. The upside of these is that you know the codecs, and they'll play in the Windows Media Player. The downside is that they are slightly larger, and slightly lower quality.

Dance With a Stranger (1985)

The Ghost has been pumping put video clips faster than I can catalog them! Let's begin catching up on the back log with a nice variety of zipped .wmvs

First up...Queen of the indies, Parker Posey.

• Here is Posey topless in two scenes from 1998's "The Misadventures of Margaret". (1, 2)

Next up, a few vids from the 1984, Tom Sellck movie "Lassiter".

• Jane Seymour. In this clip we see Dr. Quinn's wonderful bum, plus some partial breast exposure as she lies on her stomach.

• Lauren Hutton is also topless while on top of a dude.

• Finally, Belinda Mayne strips off her bra and walks around half nekkid.

Scoops,

Today we get back to the "Damsel in Distress" theme.

Melanie Good is our damsel in 1993's "Die Watching". She plays a stripper auditioning for a photographer who throws a bag over her head and then ties her topless to a chair. He then tapes her nostrils with duct tape and forces her to watch her own death on a TV monitor.

This one is not recommended for family viewing.

• Melanie Good (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

• First up, Jolie topless while gettin' it on with Antonio Banderas in "Original Sin". (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

• Next, Jolie topless again, this time in scenes from the thriller "Taking Lives". (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

• Last up, Jolie in scenes from "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life". Maximum strength pokies in links 1 and 2, just a hint of areola in #3. (1, 2, 3)

HIGHEST-PAID ACTRESSES: J-LO DROPPING
It Wasn't Even A Character Voice! - The Hollywood Reporter issued its list of the Top 10 Highest-Paid Movie Actresses. Topping it is Julia Roberts, who gets $20 million a picture. The only other woman making that much is #2, Cameron Diaz, who got $20 million just to do voice work in "Shrek 2." But bad news for Jennifer Lopez: after a string of flops like "Jersey Girl" and "Gigli," she still demands $12 million a movie, but she's dropped to #10, the lowest spot on the list.
