Each Tuesday, be sure to check in with Mr. Skin to get the complete skinny right here on the hottest DVD releases. Here is the randy round-up for the week of August 12, 2008.

AUGUST 12, 2008

7 SECONDS (2005)
STUDIO: Columbia / TriStar
NUDES: Georgina Rylance (right breast, butt) (Picture-)
THE SKINNY: When Wesley Snipes is the star of a film, it’s a pretty safe bet that it’s going to be about one of three things: cops, robbers, or vampires. In 7 Seconds, Snipes is an ex-Delta Force commando-cum-professional-thief whose attempted hijacking of an armored vehicle gets shot to hell when another gang of pilferers shows up to nab a priceless Van Gogh painting aboard one of the other trucks in the fleet. The obligatory shootout occurs, most of Snipes’s team is killed, and he accidentally grabs the case containing the painting. When he hooks up with a NATO cop to rescue one of his allies who was taken hostage in the switcheroo, mucho mayhem ensues. As an added addition to the non-stop action, keep your eyes peeled for a flash of flesh from comely costar Georgina Rylance. Any shoot-’em-up movie that spices things up with a few dashes of nuditude is TA-OK with Mr. Skin.

BELLY (1998)
STUDIO: Lions Gate Ent.
NUDES: Taral Hicks (butt, bush) (Picture-1)
THE SKINNY: Famed music-video maven Hype Williams made his directorial debut with the urban gangster drama Belly, co-scripted by rapper Nas. Nas and fellow hip-hop star DMX take the lead in a gritty, violent tale of dealers in Queens who’ve been eyeing a move to Manhattan. As the pressures of gang life grow, the two friends find their allegiances pulled in separate directions; Tommy Boy (DMX) favors a return to his African roots, while Sincere (Nas) is swayed by the words of Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakhan. Despite their differences, however, the two friends can happily agree on one thinglife affords few pleasures more satisfying than women. When it’s Taral Hicks and LaVita Raynor clamoring for more, the drugs and god-talk can happily wait.

BRAND UPON THE BRAIN! (2006)
STUDIO: The Film Company
NUDES: Gretchen Krich (breasts), Maya Lawson (breasts), Katherine Scharhon (breasts)
THE SKINNY: A silent black-and-white semi-autobiographical fantasy by Canadian arthouse favorite Guy Maddin, Brand Upon the Brain! tells the story of a character named Guy Maddin (Erik Steffen Maahs) who returns to his childhood home to carry out his dead mother’s last wish that he paint her lighthouse, which is also an orphanage. As soon as he arrives, Guy begins having flashbacks to his childhood involving murdered orphans, black magic, mad scientists, and all other sorts of silent-movie conventions. Along the way, we see boobage from Gretchen Krich, Maya Lawson, and Katherine Scharhon, and that will have you putting your hand upon your thang!

GREEN LUST! (2008)
STUDIO: DiamondCampFilms.com
NUDES: Meg McCarville (FFN, butt, anus) (Picture-1-2), Stacey Hargrave (FFN, butt) (Picture-1-2), Simone Rawski (FFN, butt) (Picture-1-2)
THE SKINNY: Diamond Camp Films’ psycho-sexual brain-bash Green Lust! splatters on (and off) the screen like the most volcanically vile wet dream of the most sexually berserk homicidal maniac. It’s that motherfucking awesome. Fire-pubed weirdo Joe Rubin stars as Hero, a wormy wreck with zero libido. It’s up to his savage brother-in-law Mario a.k.a. Pookie (the impossibly handsome and charismatic Mike McPadden) to cure the limp loser by way of the titular aphrodisiac, which he scores from mega-ultra-scorching fuck-bomb Lila Delilah (Miss Julie Fabulous). Meg McCarville costars as Hero’s sister, and her incandescently delectable long-and-fat pink nipples deserve credits of their own. Ultimately Hero gains his gonads, and along the way there’s loads of lascivious nudity from the likes of stacked Stacey Hargrave, rockin’-bodied Simone Rawski, and even Happy Dave. When it comes to mind-bending, way-too-over-the-top erotic violence and prurient mayhem, Green Lust! is a name you can trust.

JUNCTURE (2007)
STUDIO: MTI Home Video
NUDES: Kristine Blackport (breasts) (Picture-1)
THE SKINNY: Kristine Blackport is vigilante Anna Carter in the thriller Juncture, the first in a planned trilogy centered on the character. After Carter, whose parents and sister were murdered by assassins who got the wrong address, learns from her doctor that she has three months to live, she decides to use her remaining time to murder criminals. She also decides to spend some of that time taking off her top and having sex in front of a big window. Mr. Skin approves.

PREACHING TO THE PERVERTED: GUINEVERE TURNER SIGNATURE EDITION (1997)
STUDIO: Pathfinder Home Entertainment
NUDES: Julie Graham (FFN, butt) (Picture-1), Guinevere Turner (FFN, butt) (Picture-1)
THE SKINNY: Religious zealots are so transparent in their crusades to curtail the carnal joys of those sensation-sated souls who want nothing more than to erotically frolic and flash flesh free from constraints or prosecution. The divine irony of men of the cloth harassing persons who prefer to be unclothed is that in reality, as well as in such arousing and thought-provoking filmed fictions as Preaching to the Perverted, there is far more news and entertainment value in a proselytizing puritan being converted to the wondrous ways of deviant desire than there is in some sinner being saved and set aside for later shipment to heaven. Suffice it to say that the campaigning moralists of Preaching to the Perverted are destined for a conversion beyond their wickedest imaginations.

STARSHIP TROOPERS 3: MARAUDER (2008)
STUDIO: Sony Pictures
NUDES: Ccile Breccia (breasts, butt), Nicole Tupper (breasts), Tanya van Graan (breasts, butt)
THE SKINNY: The third entry in a sci-fi franchise that began with Paul Verhoeven’s masterful and masturbatable adaptation of the same 1959 Robert Heinlen story that inspired the epic song trilogy by prog gods Yes in 1969, Starship Troopers 3: Marauder features the return of the character of Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien), who was missing from the second film. Rico returns to action to lead a rescue mission after a Federation Starship carrying Sky Marshal Anoke crashes on the alien planet OM-1. Ccile Breccia, Tanya van Graan, and Nicole Tupper all show flesh in this one, and that will have your starship lifting off in no time.
