May 20, 2008


Belceb (2005)
STUDIO: Troma
NUDES:Charo Castella (breasts, butt) (Picture: 1), Alicia Navajas (FFN, butt) (Picture: 1), Mapi Romero (breasts, bush, butt) (Picture: 1), Cloti Valero (FFN, butt) (Picture: 1), uncredited actresses
THE SKINNY: Spanish heavy-metal wailer Toni Belceb stars in Belceb, a wild horror romp that bears his name and contains multiple Latin lovelies who bare their luscious flesh. Cloti Valero plays Mujer Diablo-a.k.a. Devil Woman-a luscious bisexual rocker babe who seduces our hero to the dark side, promising world-domination and rock superstardom in exchange for his soul. In the midst of all this black magic, Mapi Romero turns up as Mani, a junkie in search of redemption, and sinfully scorching physiques are displayed by Alicia Navajas, Charo Castella, and others. Belceb will make you one horny devil.

BLOODSPIT (2005)
STUDIO: Troma
NUDES:Spanky Doll (bush, butt) (Picture: 1), uncredited actresses
THE SKINNY: Writer-director Duke Hendrix, who previously thrilled the world with The Killbillies (2002), returns with another affably depraved gore party, Bloodspit. The titular character is an ancient vampire who enters the human realm from the Mirror World, only to find a famous ghoul slayer waiting for his arrival. Suffice to say, Count Bloodspit goes bat-shit. Plasma flows, and clothes come off of female cast members most enticingly, especially the memorably monikered Spanky Doll, who proves that one bottomless scene can be worth ten topless frolics.

DIARY OF THE DEAD (2007)
STUDIO: Dimension Films
NUDE:Amy Ciupak Lalonde (breasts) (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: The fifth entry in writer-director George A. Romero's apocalyptic zombie series, Diary of the Dead uses low-tech equipment and guerilla-style filmmaking techniques to hammer home the terror of a world overrun by flesh eaters in newly powerful ways. While shooting an amateur horror movie, a group of college students unwittingly aims its cameras at the very first evidence of the zombie crisis. We then see the action through the scrappy band's lenses, so that every chase and every chomp feels immediate and indelible. One ghoul proves he's got a taste for breast meat when he yanks down the shirt of blonde hottie Amy Ciupak Lalonde.

THE FLOCK (2007)
STUDIO: Genius Entertainment
NUDE:Cyd Schulte (left breast, butt) (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY:Richard Gere stars as Errol Babbage in The Flock. Babbage's line of work is to keep an eye on registered sex offenders living among the public-a group of undesirables he refers to as his "flock." After decades on the beat, Babbage is heading out to pasture and therefore training his nubile replacement, Allison Laurie (Claire Danes). When a young girl is abducted, Babbage believes one of his charges is responsible, although Allison is less than convinced and fears that her mentor may just be trying to make up for having failed to catch a killer years earlier. Twists and shocks are the order of the chase, and The Flock's ultra-dark subject matter is lightened by a naked appearance by Cyd Schulte in the appropriate role of Hot Babe.

FORGIVING THE FRANKLINS (2006)
STUDIO: Indie-Pictures
NUDE:Teresa Willis (FFN, butt) (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: Religion has a funny effect on the victims of a car accident in the dark satire Forgiving the Franklins. The titular family is comprised of archconservative southern Christians led by patriarch Frank (Robertson Dean). Mom Betty (Teresa Willis) is a humble homemaker, while son Brian (Vince Pavia), this being an indie comedy and all, is secretly homosexual. Daughter Caroline is an alluring teen played by porcelain-skinned, single-monikered knockout Aviva. After a shared near-death experience following an auto wreck, the Franklins arise from the ruins and turn into sex maniacs. Teresa's nudity, in particular, is sinfully hot.

GRAPES OF DEATH: SPECIAL EDITION (1978)
STUDIO: Redemption Films
NUDEBrigitte Lahaie (FFN, butt) (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY Sometimes all a striving young actress needs is one director with vision to give her one chance, and then she is off to stardom. Such was the circumstance of eye-pleasing French twist Brigitte Lahaie. The long blonde bombshell had established her skills in the milieu of porno sexploitation, but she ached for the legitimacy of highbrow acceptance. Where others saw only a face and body capable of drawing drool from a dead man, director Jean Rollin recognized the spark of dramatic greatness. Rollin took a chance on Lahaie, casting the untested beauty in The Grapes of Death. Stumbling through the night-lit countryside, pursued by a pack of murderous zombies, Brigitte Lahaie escapes with flying colors, if not fully clothed.

THE KILLING HOUR (1982)
STUDIO:Blue-Underground.com
NUDE:Olivia Negron (breasts, bush) (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: The unlikely team of a police officer and a TV reporter work together in The Killing Hour to hunt down a serial killer. The murderer first handcuffs his victims, which is graphically illustrated by tiny-topped Olivia Negron, whose itsy-bitsies are the skin-point of a very disturbing thriller. A cute clairvoyant played by the skingy Elizabeth Kemp helps the pair track down the killer. Of course they both fall hard for her. They must have seen her shower scene in He Knows You're Alone (1980), her only on-screen nudity.

PARK (2006)
STUDIO: Monarch Video
NUDES:Anne Dudek (breasts) (Picture: 1), Melanie Lynskey (breasts) (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: It's a lovely Los Angeles afternoon and twelve quirky characters are about to converge in the park in Park, director Kurt Voelker's first feature-length flick. First on the scene is super-suicidal Dagney Kerr, who wants to off herself but can't seem to do it right. Nearby David Fenner has a thing for Izabella Miko, his co-worker at a mobile pet-grooming service. But Iz is in a tizz over arrogant attorney William Baldwin, whom she's planning to do without further ado. Her plans get screwy, though, when Will's wife and her best friend show up to screw with his head. Meanwhile, in a van not too far away, Maulik Pancholy and Trent Ford decide to eat their lunches totally nude before co-workers Melanie Lynskey and Anne Dudek. Indie whimsy ensues!

SLOGAN (1969)
STUDIO:CultEpics.com
NUDES:Jane Birkin (left breast, butt) (Picture: 1), uncredited actresses
THE SKINNY: Advertising is perhaps the most superficial art form known to man. The entire object of the genre is to induce its audience to consume goods or services that previously they had not been aware they desired. The craftsmen of this baldly manipulative field of endeavor are exposed in Slogan to be precisely as shallow and impulse driven as the messages they strive to pitch. An award-winning French ad man travels to Venice to be feted for his contributions to the ephemeral literature of salesmanship. Freshly applauded, he meets an unattached, eminently attachable Englishwoman and determines that he must possess her. His desire has been aroused; nothing else matters-not his finances, which he imperils to set up his new toy in an apartment of her own; not his pregnant wife, whom he abandons in the flush of a new pursuit. When the Englishwoman turns out to be a person rather than a commodity and leaves the huckster in favor of a speed racer, the master manipulator has only himself left to con.

STRANGE WILDERNESS (2008)
STUDIO: Paramount Pictures
NUDE:Sheila Lussier (breasts) (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY:Strange Wilderness is the title of a nature TV series at the center of this outrageous comedy that stars funnymen Steve Zahn, Jonah Hill, Kevin Heffernan, and Jeff Garlin. Zahn plays the host of the failing program-which he spices up with topless women-who brings this motley crew to South America in search of Bigfoot. Ernest Borgnine is in it too-but, amazingly, he doesn't play Bigfoot!

WOMEN'S PRISON MASSACRE: UNCUT! (1983)
STUDIO: Retro Shock-O-Rama
NUDES:Lorraine De Selle (breasts) (Picture: 1), Ursula Flores (left breast, bush) (Picture: 1), Laura Gemser (left breast) (Picture: 1), Antonella Giacomini (breasts) (Picture: 1), Maria Romano (FFN, butt) (Picture: 1), uncredited actresses
THE SKINNY: Sometimes corruption is better off left alone. Lady reporters can only do so much good when going against established political crooks, and overstepping the line can result in an attractive and perfectly functional female being convicted on false charges and shipped off to a facility that is ripe for a Women's Prison Massacre. A principled and rack-packing journalist arrives at a house of female detention and must watch and participate in all manner of sexually charged atrocity. As if her fellow inmates are not sufficiently cruel and erotic predators, the matrons have license to exercise fantastically mean kinks of their own. The situation could not possibly be any worse, until four Death Row psycho dudes escape their confinement and take over the institution. The intrepid reporter is amazed at the fantastic story she is being witness to. Of course, it is very unlikely she will live to write it.
