You’ll be red in da Palmas this week as the nude Brian de Palma classics Dressed to Kill (1980) and Scarface (1983) hit Blu-Ray. In other Blu-Ray nudes, Straw Dogs celebrates its 40th anniversary with a deluxe re-issue, and 40 Days and 40 Nights (2002) gives up DVD instead of sex this year. A wise choice.
Non-nude but sexy on DVD and Blu-Ray, January Jones and Jennifer Lawrence strip to their super-skivvies in X-Men: First Class (2011).
Questions of identity, the nature of time, the duality at the depths of human nature, the intersection of dream life and waking reality and of perception and its interpretations have always been paramount in the mystery thrillers of filmmaker Brian De Palma. Or maybe he just likes to screw with a viewer’s head. Either way, De Palma’s Dressed to Kill (1980) set the tone for many more stylish, female-obsessed, murderous entertainments to come. Speaking of female-obsessed, the spectacular cleavage and furry crescent of stunt body supreme Victoria Lynn Johnson fill in for the fuzz and flappers of classy shower chick Angie Dickinson 2 minutes in.
The paradigmatic gangster flick Scarface (1983) chronicles the rise and fall of Cuban drug lord Tony Montana (Al Pacino), whose appetite for power and growing coke-fueled paranoia lead to his spectacular and memorable bullet-riddled demise. In the late 1990s Scarface experienced a sort of rebirth as one of the touchstones of gangsta rap culture, but even the most white-bread among us can appreciate the film’s non-stop brutality--and the fact that it’s peppered with nudity. Check out blonde bombshell Sue Bowser’s TA as she gets totally unwrapped in bed with Tony’s second-in-command.
Dustin Hoffman is a supremely pussified mathematician who moves back to his wife Susan George's 
hometown in Scotland so he can have some solitude and get some work done in Straw Dogs (1971). The natives have some other plans, though . . . the most important of which involves getting their filthy mitts on Susan. Director Sam Peckinpah does an outstanding job blurring the lines of all the conflicts, except, of course, the revenge aspect, which exonerates Hoffman in the end. That aspect of the film is great, especially for all those Underdog-Rooting fellers out there, but one glimpse of Susan's rack will most assuredly make even the hardiest of souls weak in the knees.
Josh Hartnett has apocalyptic visions whenever he's about to close the deal with a lady love in 40 Days and 40 Nights (2002). Therefore, he does what any red-blooded American male (in a wacky movie plot) would do: he seeks religious counsel and pledges to give up all forms of sex for Lent. This leads to every hottie in San Francisco coming on to him and his meeting electrically exotic Shannyn Sossamon, the girl of his wet dreams. Late in the movie Josh finally gets his hard net around Shannyn, but he never touches her, using the vaginal-like petals of a flower to bring the topless Shannyn to climax. Shannyn's little buds and pert nipples are in full bloom!
Marvel’s X-Men franchise gets a sexy retro reboot with X-Men: First Class (2011). While motley band of '60s mutants Charles Xavier (James McAvoy), Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence), and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) make an alliance with the CIA, nefarious Nazi Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) is organizing the sinister Hellfire Club, whose goal is nothing less than the death of all humans. January Jones costars as Emma Frost, a telepathic mutant whose superpowers include a gravity-defying pair of chest melons. Plus, Rose Byrne peels to her underwear going undercover, Zoe Kravitz gets retro sexy as winged go-go dancer Angel, and Jennifer strips down to her blue birthday suit as Mystique, but like January these mouth-watering mutants don’t show their superboobs. Where’s the X-man who can unhook bra straps with his mind?
