summer skin movies

don't ask me how or why but over the Fourth of July holiday weekend I managed to see three movies in three days. normally I'm out and about in the sand and sun during the summer but I made my way to three screenings, and they weren't even your typical summer blockbusters -- but it is worth mentioning them all here especially if you are looking for some skin at your local theater.

the first was GARDEN PARTY. I have heard about this movie for awhile from it being pushed heavily on the radio here in LA. and from watching the trailer and reading a little bit about it on the Internet you might expect this to be the next coming of David Lynch's Mulholland
Drive
. the plot follows a small group of confused young adults struggling to make it big in Hollywood. one is named April who can't go home again and manages to turn to the porn industry to make ends meet. after answering an ad in a Los Angeles paper she shows up to the studio of a photographer who snaps a few shots of her and publishes them on his Internet web site. while this has the makings of a great erotic thrill-ride, Garden Party leaves you speechless because it is such a bad movie. it has girl-on-girl action and a few sexually charged moments but it tries too hard to be a provocative art film and I wouldn't bother seeing it if I were you. I would rather suggest this Garden Party instead.

the second movie I caught was 8 MILES HIGH. wild film and a little more mainstream. this flick follows the life of 60's-70's German Supermodel Uschi Obermeier, as she travels the world in a hippie Mercedes Benz bus falling in love with rock stars and the spotlight. being based on a true story its nice to learn about one of Europe's lesser known sex symbols that I had never even heard of. great movie, worth a look but don't expect any Oscars at the end of the day. lots of skin and fun with the lead actress Natalie Avelon, she makes love to the camera and really pops off the screen. wicked.


but my favorite film of the weekend was THE LAST MISTRESS, spelled Une vieille maƮtresse in French. this is
a true indie flick so it is way too long but if you are looking to score some intellect points with your date keep this one in mind. another warning though, it's entirely in French so you have to keep up with the subtitles. but what makes this film my pick of the skin week is the amount of boobs on screen. lots of tits, lots of sex and it happens throughout the movie -- even as one couple is cremating their poor daughter in the middle of Algeria after she was stung by a scorpion. (yeah, like I said this is an art flick.) but you gotta love the knockers actress Asia Argento was blessed with. they are rock hard but fullLinky natural, you want to reach out and grab a hold because they look tasty. even if you pull this one down off Netflix take a look just for the boobs and the blood licking scene.

that's my take, but I'm not going to close without giving you one last look at Asia Argento. and if you'd like a nice catalog of lesbian scenes in pictures check out the hogrock cafe collection but for the real shit check out The Flesh Circus.
