May 13, 2008

The Lovers (1958)
STUDIO: Criterion Collection
NUDE: Jeanne Moreau (left breast)
THE SKINNY: In its official tagline, The Lovers bills itself as "The most talked-about and fought-about film!" What stirred up all the controversy? The raw carnal heat of French dish Jeanne Moreau in glorious black and white, that's what! Here she plays Jeanne Tournier, a married woman who, on the way back from her boyfriend's place, considers seducing the stranger who's giving her a ride. Wow! More scorching is that we see a bit of Jeanne in the buff. Ooh-la-wow!

Numb (2007)
STUDIO: Image Entertainment
NUDE: Holly Eglington (breasts, butt, bush)
THE SKINNY: Matthew Perry (Friends, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
) stars as Hudson in Numb. He's a Hollywood screenwriter coping with heavy-duty depression, and things go really off the deep end when he falls for-and fails to win over-the woman of his dreams, Sara (Lynn Collins). Hudson's struggles are both comical and heartbreaking. Combined with nifty nudity from Holly Eglington, this film's impact will leave you feeling anything but numb in the places where it counts most.

Youth Without Youth (2007)
STUDIO: Sony Pictures Classics
NUDE: Alexandra Pirici (breasts) (Picture: 1)
THE SKINNY: Acclaimed director Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now) ended a ten-year respite from filmmaking to helm the science-fiction saga Youth Without Youth. Tim Roth plays Dominic, a Romanian linguistics professor who is about to commit suicide on the eve of World War II when he is struck by lightning. The jolt turns his seventy-year-old body young again, and word of the miracle reaches the Nazis, who send the ultra-sexy Woman in Room 6 (Alexandra Pirici) to seduce Dominic and learn his secret. What follows is a meditation on life, health, history, and the cosmos, and if it all becomes too overwhelming, just remember you can rewind and check out the Woman in Room 6 again.
