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 September 23, 2008.
September 23, 2008
DECEPTIONBLU-RAY (2008)
STUDIO: 20th Century Fox
NUDES: Natasha Henstridge (butt), Daisy Bates (breasts), Shannan Click (breasts)
THE SKINNY: Accented actors Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor square off as a thrill-seeking lawyer and a low-key numbers cruncher, respectively, in the kinky thriller Deception. Together these two adventure into the world of The List, an ultra-exclusive, world-class anonymous sex club where among the excitements to be indulged in are Michelle Williams and Maggie Q, along with the delightfully naked Natasha Henstridge, Daisy Bates, and Shannan Click. So check out Deception if you want an erection.
ELEVATOR MOVIE (2004)
STUDIO: Pathfinder Home Entertainment
NUDE: Robin Ballard (left breast, butt)
THE SKINNY: The black-and-white surreal dark comedy Elevator Movie stars Zeb Haradon as a virgin obsessed with anal sex who gets stuck for months in an elevator with his hot neighbor Robin Ballard. That scenario may sound like a dream come true, but unfortunately Robin has abandoned her promiscuous ways and become a born-again Christian. Fortunately there’s a tub in the elevator, so we get a good look at Robin’s rump as she bathes. Going up!
L.A. CONFIDENTIALBLU-RAY (1997)
STUDIO: Warner Home Video
NUDES: Kim Basinger (butt), Shawnee Free Jones (breasts), Marisol Padilla Sanchez (breasts), Amber Smith (left breast)
THE SKINNY: Russell Crowe really broke out as a 1953 L.A. cop caught up in a prostitution ring staffed by movie-star lookalikes in L.A. Confidential. A lot of guys also broke their zippers when they saw Kim Basinger in her role as a Veronica Lake clone. The film deserves its reputation as a modern noir classic, but you’ll also be impressed by the classic boobies of modern starlets like Shawnee Free Jones.
MOTHER OF TEARS (2007)
STUDIO: Weinstein Company
NUDES: Asia Argento (right breast), Moran Atias (FFN, butt), Valeria Cavalli (breasts), Silvia Rubino (breasts), uncredited actresses
THE SKINNY: With Mother of Tears, Italian horror maestro Dario Argento ends his "Three Mothers Trilogy," which was previously comprised of Suspiria (1977) and Inferno (1980). Dario's real-life daughter, Asia Argento, plays Sarah, an American art student visiting Rome, who finds an ancient urn and unwittingly unleashes a series of demonic doings on the city. The wicked force behind the supernatural mayhem is Mater Lacrimarum (Moran Atias), the last of three witches who have terrorized humanity for centuries. As Sarah is blessed with psychic abilities, it is up to her to do battle with the witch's ungodly armies and prevent the downfall of, first, Rome and, subsequently, everyone and everything else. Once again, Dario Argento has whipped up one Mother of a brilliantly frightful good time.
OLD SCHOOLBLU-RAY (2003)
STUDIO: Paramount
NUDES: Lisa Donatz (breasts), Kristina Hughes (breasts), Corinne Kingsbury (breasts)
THE SKINNY: Almost all of the dozens of college-campus, sex-romp, outsider comedies patterned after the classic frat funny pic Animal House (1978) have one big difference from the original: The imitators are generally not nearly as funny, with one notable and glorious exceptionOld School. Wallowing in a crass and relentless humor capable of uniting the generations in gales of gut-busting, pants-peeing glee, Old School may not seem like much on paper (a trio of post-collegiate screw-ups sets up house next door to a college crawling with corruptible co-eds), but for once, hilarity does ensue.
PATHOLOGY (2008)
STUDIO: MGM
NUDE: Lauren Lee Smith (breasts)
THE SKINNY: Pathology focuses on a gaggle of medical students who scheme to commit the perfect murder. As always whenever “the perfect murder” is invoked, complications arise. Michael Weston plays the sinister mastermind of this crackpot plot, and newbie Milo Ventimiglia falls under his spell. However, when it comes to true spellbinding that’s powerful enough to cause a medical emergency, just check out Lauren Lee Smith as one of the dubious docs who also happens to doff her top. She injects Pathology with a healthy dose of rack-ology.
RENO 911!: MIAMIUNRATED (2007)
STUDIO: 20thy Century Fox
NUDES: Niecy Nash (butt), Irina Voronina (breasts), Mary Castro (breasts)
THE SKINNY: Comedy Central's largely improvised Cops send-up Reno 911! goes tropical in its big-screen adaptation, Reno 911!: Miami. Series regulars Thomas Lennon, Ben Garant, and Kerri Kenney lead the usual gang of lawless enforcers to the Sunshine State after a terrorist attack mucks up a police convention on the south shoresmack in the midst of Spring Break madness. An alligator in a swimming pool, a topless beach adventure, and celebrity cameos from the likes of Paul Rudd and Danny DeVito (who also served as executive producer) make Reno 911!: Miami add up to raunchy good fun. The unrated DVD is even raunchier, gooder, and funner.
