Pack your bags and don't forget the lube, Skin fans, because we're going on a road trip this week on DVD and Blu-ray. First we stop on the breast coast for Season 4 of Californication, starring Addison Timlin's perfect pair, and, uh, some dude from The X-Files. Next we thumb a ride with the French skin flick Going Places, (1974), nude on Blu-ray, with a brief layover at Melanie Laurent's fabulous funbaguettes in Beginners (2011). Finally, all aboard for a fabulously nude Fraternity Vacation (1985), on a double DVD with those bad, bad Reform School Girls (1986).

Non-nude but sexy, run away and join the circus with Reese Witherspoon in Water for Elephants (2011), new on DVD and Blu-ray:

timlin DVDEx-X Filer David Duchovny trades close encounters for even closer ones in Californication, a show that details his precarious balance of single fatherhood, a stalled writing career, and a steady influx of some of the hottest and nakedest babes the boob tube has to offer. Boobgasmic brunette Paula Marshall gets bare to meet Agent Mulder’s man meat, and former child star Madeline Zima serves up some sweater sweeties while giving Duchovny a donkey punch. What an ass! Season 4 skintroduces us to Addison Timlin, an up-and-coming starlet who knows what her breast assets are...and isn't afraid to show them.

Two low-life, macho men (Gerard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere), travel the countryside of France in search of the good life in Going Places (1974). Bitter and brawny, depending mostly on their fancy and fists to get by, these aimless thugs have no limits to their lustiness. Doused in debauchery they steal cars, offer miou miou dvdmoney to a nursing mom for a taste of her teat, double team a frigid virgin, and use one another as lovers when no other skin is within arm's reach. Soon a monkey wrench is thrown into their mayhem when the marvy-mammed Marie-Ange (Miou-Miou), a jaded, juiced-up loosey goosey recently released from prison, turns their gruesome twosome into a gleeful threesome. Going everywhere, doing everything, they all end up nowhere in the end.

A man's elderly father has not one, but two, shocking revelations to share in Beginners (2011). Oliver (Ewan McGregor) isn’t sure which one is more devastating- the news that his father Hal (Christopher Plummer) has terminal cancer, or that he knew he was gay throughout his 46-year marriage to Oliver’s mother. But Oliver sees a change in his father after Hal acquires a young male lover, and as his own relationship with sexy French actress Anna (Melanie Laurent) develops, Oliver learns how to really live for the first time. Melanie bares just a bit of big, bouncy side boob as she gets dressed in two separate scenes. That’ll give you some joie de vivre in your jeans!

crampton dvdThere are plenty of reasons why Fraternity Vacation (1985) isn’t your usual ’80s teen comedy--most notably, the presence of Tim Robbins as scheming frat brother Larry “Mother” Tucker. The script also has a few clever and touching moments. Not bad for a low-budget movie about nerd Stephen Geoffreys being accepted by his frat brothers once they find out he has access to a condo in Palm Springs. Everybody’s still sex-crazed, though, with Barbara Crampton and Kathleen Kinmont providing plenty of SKINspiration (especially if you watch the film’s bush-baring letterboxed version).

Some movies have your heart won over from the very title. You don’t stop to see who’s in a flick with a name like Reform School Girls (1986), and you don’t check to see who directed it. You just make sure the phone’s on mute, the porch light’s off, and the old lady’s asleep, then you hit PLAY. The implicit social contract dictates that such a film will feature nubile girls, several at a time, naked in showers. There will be catfights williams dvdwith clothing compromised during the struggles. There will be an innocent waif preyed upon by a jaded jade. There will be a trail of dried drool when you wake up three hours hence to the snowy buzz of the blank TV. Grab a towel and join Michelle Bauer, Leslee Bremmer, Linda Carol, Andrea Darnell, Darcy DeMoss, and Wendy O. Williams in drying off after their wholly naked, wholly wonderful group shower.

Running away to join the circus actually turns out to be a good idea in Water for Elephants (2011). Set in the 1930s, the story begins when Jacob (Robert Pattinson) is called out of a vet-school exam and told that his family has been killed in a car crash. Overwhelmed with despair, Jacob drops out of school and hops on the nearest freight train, which just happens to belong to the Benzini Brothers Circus. The owner, August (Christoph Waltz), doesn’t care if Jacob has a degree, and so he is soon working as the Benzini's resident veterinarian. Then Jacob falls for beautiful circus performer Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), but there's one little problem- she's married to the boss. Reese wears a sexy, skimpy spangled outfit when she’s performing, but when it comes to nudity, Water for Elephants will leave your trunk dry and limp.
