Feast of Love's Pornucopia — Can Buy Me Love — Billy Jack-Off — Jodie Foster's Can
February 5, 2008
Charles Baxter is a writer’s writer, having penned some very well-received novels and collections of short stories, but he has yet to gain the wide recognition he deserves. Well, he’s ready for his close-up in the adaptation of his best-selling novel Feast of Love, out today on DVD. The movie stars Morgan Freeman as an insomniac who meets people at night who happily tell him about their perverted love lives, and it includes ample skin from Selma Blair, Alexa Davalos, and Radha Mitchell. See, give the people what they want and they’ll come, oh, how they’ll come.

Everyone loves the Beatles. They sang about love, they preached the four-letter word and defined a generation of free-loving hippies. But what have they ever done for us, really, besides come up with some pretty melodies? Well, three decades after the Fab Four broke up they finally have delivered on the promise of their mop-top dreams with Across the Universe, which is out today in a 2-Disc Deluxe Edition. It’s a rock opera from the creative mind of Julie Taymor, but this isn’t The Lion King. From Salma Hayek’s sexy nurse to dear Prudence, played by T.V. Carpio (and that doesn’t stand for transvestite), Across the Universe is a fleshtacular. How about this for a treat: The movie finally delivers the nude debut of blonde waif Evan Rachel Wood. You’ll get wood.

Billy Jack fans take note, Born Losers, out today on DVD, is the first screen appearance of Tom Laughlin’s pacifist kick-ass hippie hero. The plot involves some bad bikers and the sweetly innocent Elizabeth James, whom Laughlin finds naked on the floor after being brutalized by the motor-heads. It’s a rough scene, which almost makes Billy Jack go berserk, but every dark cloud has a silver lining. The one here is that Elizabeth shows off one of the sweetest heart-shaped asses ever captured on film. It’ll make one tin soldier stand alone in your pants.

Jodie Foster may not have come out of the closet, but that doesn’t mean her slap-happy fans have to hide their sexual attraction to this pretty actress. She’s been making men happy since her role as a hooker in Taxi Driver, and she cashed the prurient check with some disturbing skin in The Accused and more palatable flesh in Backtrack and Nell. Well, add The Brave One, out today on DVD, to that nude streak. The forty-something beauty still has it and flaunts it in the first twenty minutes of the movie with some T&A that may be a body double’s, but the Skinsider prefers to believe.
