Star Trek: Mudd's Women (1966)
GILF eye candy
I know why I liked the old Star Trek over the politically correct 'let's all hold hands Kumbaya' Next Generations. It's because of all the niche fetish that goes against popular culture perception of hotness. In this case it's Mudds women. I remember watching this as a kid and saying hey those older women, in this case the forty something Karen Steele, look hotter without makeup. Thus bourne my first foray. So forget all those reviews saying this is one of the weakest episodes, if you want memorable, check this one out because of the granny eye candy factor.
Centurion (2010)
Vicious, picturesque setting but what's with the models?
I just have a little issue with the plausibility. The guys in here look like mutants from Mad Max but the girls are all skinny and model looking. If you were in the cold northern woods of Briton, wouldn't you need that extra layer of fat to survive and wouldn't your face be weathered? Obviously the director has a thing for models, as you can see from his other works like THE DESCENT. But here, a 115 lbs model throwing an axe around? Give me a break. Other than that, there's nothing cooler than seeing Roman Legionnaires in fur capes set against the snow capped mountains of Scotland. Only one other movie has that epic proportion feel (FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE).
PROs: 1. No good guys. Romans are just as vicious as the barbarians. Making the analogy about the US and their foes. 2. Betrayals (at the end). Another analogy about the US and their own internal hypocrisies.
CONs: Using models as girl barbarians.
The Boynton Beach Bereavement Club (2005)
'Hot Lips' Houlihan takes off her top
OK, now that I've got your attention. This is actually a very touching movie, in the "In Her Shoes" genre. The screen goddesses I've worshiped have either gotten fat (Brenda Vaccaro, Renee Taylor) or undergo mega plastic surgery (Dyan Cannon). Somehow I just can't turn away but not because it's like a car accident. It's appealing in an honest sort of way. For example, recently widowed Len Cariou brings club vamp Sally Kellerman to an early bird all-you-can-eat buffet on their first date (because that's where he and his wife used to eat). Who hasn't made that mistake trying to impress someone. And Sally Kellerman reprises her topless scene from MASH forty years later (sag and all)...that's got to be forth the price of admission.
Between the hilarious moments in the movie, I couldn't help but think "Didn't Michael Douglas date an older woman Brenda Vaccaro back in the 70s?" or "Didn't Frank Sinatra marry a young Dyan Cannon once?" NOTE: This movie probably won't make any money at the box office but mark my words, it'll probably become a cult classic a decade down the line, like "Office Space".
