Japanese babe Rinko Kikuchi, who plays the swindling siblings' silent partner Bang Bang, stays clothed here, even though she had no problem flashing the Rinko pinko in the 2006 drama Babel.

Halloween II (2009)Blu-ray
STUDIO: Weinstein Co.
NUDE: Danielle Harris (breasts), Sylvia Jefferies (FFN, butt)
Not a remake of Halloween II (1981) as much as a sequel to his 2007 remake of Halloween, Rob Zombie’s Halloween II (2009) follows psychotic killer Michael Myers (Tyler Mane) as he continues his murderous rampage and tries to find his long-lost sister, Laurie (Scout Taylor-Compton). Amidst all the carnage and a cameo appearance by “Weird Al” Yankovic, we get some full frontal from Sylvia Jefferies, a bloody boob from Danielle Harris, and some tasty uncredited nudity.

The male libido is a wonderful thing, especially when it is accurately depicted in a skinematic endeavor. Studly Tom Berenger fills in as everyman in In Praise of Older Women (1978). An everyman who beds down with every bang-worthy woman he sees, which is the kind of everyman that every man dreams of being. Of the half dozen hotties who cozy up to Tom, none are in their first blush of youth, but all are too young to be your mom. Each of the lovely ladies shows either a snippet or a vast expanse of skin while wrestling and writhing with amorous Berenger. Rather than envy the man, thank him for bringing out the best in these exquisitely experienced women for all of us to share.
