Australian/New Zealand movies: 1996

Decided to go with one update for 1996 which may have been a mistake as it took a lot longer than I was expecting to take. While there's more movies in this update than 1995, there's a lot less sexy scenes but that's not to say there's not any decent stuff for the year. There's great scenes in Broken English, Dead Heart, Fistful of Flies, Lust and Revenge and autobiographical drama Video Fool for Love while there's some brief but excellent scenes from Miranda Otto in Love Serenade and Raelee Hill in Hotel de Love. There's also extensive nudity in the terrible Offspring, which I've recapped in better quality.

1996

Broken English (NZ)

Culture clash drama that goes down a similar road to Once Were Warriors. Nina (Aleksandra Vujcic) is a woman in her early 20s who has settled comfortably into Auckland after leaving war-torn Croatia with her family. The head of the family is Ivan (Rade Serbedzija), a brutal man who is pissed off he is in New Zealand and not at home and his son Darko (Marton Csokas) is heading in a similar direction. He rules the family with an iron fist but has a soft spot for feisty Nina. During a particularly volatile night, Nina goes off the work at a Chinese restaurant and spies Eddie (Julian Arahanga), the new cook and they have a whirlwind romance which leads to them moving in together. Nina has also become involved in a sham citizenship marriage for a friend for some quick cash. When the family have a party, it goes so badly that Eddie leaves her. Then Nina finds out she's pregnant and manages to get back with Eddie but Ivan is not happy and will take desperate measures to keep them apart. Superb movie helped by excellent performances particularly from Vujcic, Serbedzija and Arahanga with a brief appearance from Temuera Morrison.

Nudity from Aleksandra Vujcic during a fairly full-on sex scene that was apparently the reason the movie received a NC-17 rating in America although there's nothing all that explicit.

You can find a synopsis with collages and videos from Broken English here. A preview is below.

The Call Up (NZ)

50 minute telemovie about a bunch of New Zealand soldiers who are about to be sent as peacekeepers for the UN in Bosnia as they try to enjoy their last few days before leaving. Pretty typical TV stuff directed by renegade New Zealand director David Blyth.

There's no nudity in The Call Up but there's a fairly lengthy scene with Danielle Cormack in underwear which you can find here.

 

 

Chicken (NZ)

Wacky comedy about a washed-up pop star Dwight Serrento (Bryan Marshall) who's career has hit the skids and is now doing ads for a fast food chicken restaurant. Disappointed with what he's become, he hatches a plan with manager Colette (Ellie Smith) and daughter Vicky (Claire Waldron) to fake his death which has the initial uptick but becomes impossible to keep up the ruse. This isn't helped when a chicken loving psychopath Zeke (Cliff Curtis) decides to hunt Dwight down in revenge for being involved with the fast food restaurant. Add in a bunch of oddball characters including Colette's hyperactive young son and a journalist desperate to catch Dwight out and you've got a ridiculous but fairly fun ride. Lots of silliness, particularly chicken related helped by a truly wild performance from Cliff Curtis who goes to unbelievable lengths to get Dwight. Just a real nutty comedy.

No real nudity in the movie but there's a comical implied nudity scene featuring Joan Dawe who desperately avoids being electrocuted in a bathtub while keeping herself covered.

Children of the Revolution

All-star piss-take of post-war communism Australian style. Joan (Judy Davis) is a communist rabble rouser in the 1950s who comes under the attention of both the Russian communists and local authorities. She accepts an invitation to visit Joseph Stalin (F. Murray Abraham) where she has dinner and sex with him and then Stalin promptly dies. Joan is ferried back to Australia and finds out she's pregnant and decides to keep the child and marries long-time admirer Welch (Geoffrey Rush). Years later, her son Joe (Richard Roxburgh) is a left-wing rabble rouser who has a fling with a policewoman Anna (Rachel Griffiths). He becomes the head of the most powerful union in the country but he becomes corrupted by that power. Then doubt emerges as to whether Stalin or a double agent Nine (Sam Neill) is Joe's father. Great cast, great idea, but runs out of steam the longer it goes and becomes a not wholly satisfying piss take on communism.

Rachel Griffiths briefly shows her breasts.

You can find a synopsis with videos from Children of the Revolution here. A preview is below.

Cosi

Comedy about the out-of-work Lewis (Ben Mendelsohn) who can't get a job as a theatre director until he takes a job to direct a play at a mental institution which comes with great challenges. While trying to get his ideas up, he is outvoted by Roy (Barry Otto) who wants to stage Cosi Fan Tutte. Lewis relents and decides to put his own touch to it as none of the patients can sing except for Julie (Toni Collette) who he becomes attracted to despite being in a relationship with Lucy (Rachel Griffiths) who's probably having an affair with their friend Nick (Aden Young). But through it all, Lewis is able to put together his own production of Cosi Fan Tutte. Not bad movie although it is heavy on the mental patient stereotypes and the love quadrangle gets a bit silly. Cast is heavy with well-known actors including the young stars of Muriel's Wedding and Metal Skin.

No real nudity in Cosi but there's some sexy stuff from Rachel Griffiths with videos available here.

 

 

Dating the Enemy

Body swap comedy where a science reporter Tash (Claudia Karvan) meets a TV host Brett (Guy Pearce) and they hit it off at first but she finds out he's massively self-centred and interested in other women so she dumps him. Then a full moon hits and they end up swapping bodies. This means that they have to spend more time around one another despite hating one another and try to live each other's lives as best they can. Slowly yet surely they begins to tolerate one another to the point where the fall for one another once again. Stock-standard body swap stuff, not really funny but Karvan and Pearce do OK playing one another without making a whole lot of impact. A bit disappointing if anything...

There's no nudity in Dating the Enemy but there's a number of sexy videos which are available here.

 

 

Dead Heart

Another searing culture clash drama, this time about the simmering tensions between white and black people in a remote Indigenous settlement. Local cop Ray Lorkin (Bryan Brown) is having a lot of trouble with the locals but tensions have increased since there was a death of an Indigenous prisoner at his station. To make peace, he allows the father of the dead man to exact Indigenous justice on Lorkin's deputy. Meanwhile, a local school teacher's wife, Kate (Angie Milliken) is having an affair with a young Indigenous man Tony (Aaron Pedersen). One day, Kate and Tony have relations at a sacred Indigenous site and all hell breaks lose. Then Tony is found dead from a suspected heart attack that looks like he has been dealt with by Indigenous law. Ray struggles to keep the peace, particularly when his supposed ally, the local pastor David (Ernie Dingo), seems to be heavily involved with Tony's death. Extremely topical at the time of release with a spate of Indigenous deaths in custody in the early to mid 90s. It's an interesting movie that's helped by some strong performances particularly from Bryan Brown as the flawed copper just trying to keep the peace.

An extensive nude scene from Angie Milliken that is the catalyst for much of the movie's plot.

You can find a synopsis with collages and videos from Dead Heart here. A preview is below.

The Demons in My Head

Low budget psychological horror thriller, the feature length debut of prolific indie filmmaker Neil Johnson. Travis (Matthew Mariconte) lives in a share house and is having a bad time of it lately after losing his job and also striking out with hot housemate Larissa (Amber Allum). Another housemate Regis (Greg Bowman-Miles) has a long held crush on Travis and desperately tries to get his attention for something more than a friendship. Then a meteorite falls into their yard and with the help of Marcia (Jane Rowland), they crack it open and discover a strange device like a headset that gives it's wearer the opportunity to move things from the multiverse into this dimension. Travis becomes obsessed with it but finds that the things he materialises don't arrive in the way he expected and eventually he brings across creatures called Nephilim which invade the house and attack the housemates. Can they work out how to survive this nightmare? Interesting take on an old parable that is restricted by it's budget but the movie keeps interests despite it's limitations. I've never seen a Neil Johnson movie before but he already seems to have an obsession with nephilim, particularly saying the word that I'd never heard before so many times.

Amber Allum brief shows her breasts during a sex scene. There's a bunch of videos from the movie below.

Fistful of Flies

Coming-of-age drama about the constantly horny Mars (Tasma Walton) who can't help touching herself which drives her typical Italian mother Grace (Dina Panozzo) to despair. This isn't helped by Mars declaring that she never wants to get married. After being caught masturbating when she feigned an illness to skip out on church, Grace gets Mars' father Joe (John Lucantonio) to whip her, leaving bruises over her body. Mars seeks solace with her exiled grandmother (Anna Volska) who hasn't spoken to Grace for years. Grace becomes obsessed with stopping Mars from becoming horny; forcing her to go to confession, taking her to a doctor (Rachael Maza) to get her 'fixed' and finally setting her up with the boy down the road Eno (Mario Gamma) who isn't interested until he sees Mars rebel against her mother. After her father mistakes Mars being friendly with Eno as something more, all hell breaks loose and a series of events occur that unexpectedly brings Mars and Grace closer together. Alright movie that's very melodramatic about highlighting the Italian-Australian experience and the obsession with making girls 'pure' for their husbands. It's an absurd look at Italian-Australian families with some funny scenes coupled with some outright ridiculous scenes which are done fairly well but they don't mix well with some of the more harsher moments making it seem at odds with the overall tone of the movie. Both Tasma Walton and Dina Panozzo (in a role she would become typecast for) are very good.

Tasma Walton shows her breasts in a scene where she explores her body.

Floating Life
aka Fu sheng

Multi-faceted multicultural comedy drama from Hong Kong director Clara Law. An older couple arrive in Australia from Hong Kong with their youngest sons to live with their daughter Bing (Annie Yip) whose already set-up in Australia. Bing refuses to speak English at home and tries to get her younger brothers to do the same but they get used to the Australian way of life quickly. The eldest daughter Yen (Annette Shun Wah) lives in Germany with her German husband but increasingly feels left out of the loop from her family and makes a visit to them in Australia. Older son Gar Ming (Anthony Brandon Wong) is still in Hong Kong and has an affair with Canadian woman Apple (Nina Liu) which ends in her pregnancy. The movie is set in many countries and told over different timelines so it gets a bit confusing the longer it goes but there's some interesting stories along the way and I like how it ends with Bing's story of how she became so stubborn. Clara Law movies were a staple on SBS in the 90s particularly Autumn Moon so it was interesting when she came to Australia and made a movie partially financed by SBS. Her next movie is the Rose Byrne starring The Goddess of 1967.

Brief breasts from Nina Liu (who also has nudity in an episode of The Secret Life of Us) plus some other sexy stuff featured below.

Hotel de Love

Romantic comedy about two brothers Rick (Aden Young) and Steve (Simon Bossell) who both vie for the affections of British girl Melissa (Saffron Burrows). Rick is in love with her and on the last day she is in Australia, he takes her virginity. Ten years later, the brothers have moved on and have started the Hotel de Love which specialises in romantic endeavours. Wouldn't you know it, Melissa walks in with her fiancé Norman (Peter O'Brien) and both brothers lose their mind now that they have a second chance with her. Meanwhile their parents Jack (Ray Barrett) and Edith (Julia Blake) have come to the hotel to refresh their marriage and become a nuisance for them. There's also the clairvoyant Allison (Pippa Grandison) who both brothers are also interested in. It's chaos at the Hotel de Love. A by-the-numbers romantic comedy where the ending is without doubt.

We briefly see Saffron Burrows breasts with patches over the nipples plus a pretty decent nude scene from Raelee Hill.

Little White Lies

Channel 10 telemovie where Ellie (Mimi Rogers) is a successful businesswoman whose life is about to be turned upside-down after Tim (Temuera Morrison) approaches her at a party and tells her that her aspiring politician husband Mark (Andrew McFarlane) is having an affair with his wife and shows her a photo of them together. Ellie is taken aback at first but Tim continues to show her evidence of Mark's 'betrayal'. Now convinced, Ellie follows Tim to his house and she is then drugged and wakes up naked and alone with her vest shredded. Ellie is stunned but then she is introduced to the woman who Mark is having an affair with by her actual husband, not Tim. Then she receives photos of her 'liaison' with Tim and he demands a million dollar ransom or her exposes her 'infidelity'. So she tells Mark and they get the police involved but Tim always seems to be one step ahead of everyone and Ellie is going to have to take desperate measures to save herself and her husband. Extremely convoluted movie that piles on the ridiculous plot twists after starting with an interesting idea. Rogers and Morrison play a good cat-and-mouse game but are both beaten by the silly plot which ends in a bloody slaughter because apparently every Australian telemovie in this time needed to be unnecessarily ultra-violent.

No nudity in Little White Lies but there's a few sexy scenes featuring Mimi Rogers which you can see below.

Love and Other Catastrophes

Low budget comedy that was a minor hit locally and launched the careers of Frances O'Connor and Radha Mitchell. Over one day things are about to become tangled for a group of university students. Mia (Frances O'Connor) and Alice (Alice Garner) need a new housemate and put the word around. Mia is in a weird relationship with Danni (Radha Mitchell) that seems to be sputtering to an end, no thanks to Danni's constant companion Savita (Suzi Dougherty). Mia also wants to swap out of a film class run by a belligerent professor (Kim Gyngell) who will only sign her transfer form if another professor signs it first and that ain't happening. Then when Mia finally manages to get that signature, the professor dies of a heart attack before signing the form leaving her in limbo. Alice hasn't had a proper relationship in 3 years but takes the interest of Ari (Matthew Dyktynski) who seems distracted by something. Meanwhile, Michael (Matt Day) is looking for a new place to stay but seems to be hitting the wall with where he can go and coupled with his all-round awkwardness, it's going to be a long while before he finds a place. Oh and there's the party at Mia and Alice's in the evening where everyone's going. Not a bad little comedy, obviously influenced by the movies director Emma-Kate Croghan loves including a whole lot of Woody Allen. Feels very student film at times but mostly overcomes this with engaging plot lines and characters. Being a while since I've seen it but I quite like the bureaucratic nightmare Mia goes through and how they solve it. Holds up quite well. Always surprised Croghan only ever made one other movie (Strange Planet).

No nudity in Love and Other Catastrophes but there's a couple of videos from the movie below.

Love Serenade

Light comedy about two sisters Dimity (Miranda Otto) and Vicky-Ann (Rebecca Frith) living in a small town on the Murray River who's lives are about to change when a DJ, Ken Sherry (George Shevtsov), arrives to work at the local radio station. He moves into the house next door and both sisters fall for him. And he enchants the two women so much that they both sleep with him and then claim to be his significant other. But it turns out that Ken isn't all that he's cracked up to be and his façade begins to unravel. Not a bad little movie that's helped by good performance by the three leads but the real stand-out is Shevtsov, an underrated actor who brings the sleaze so well it almost make him endearing.

Brief breasts from Miranda Otto plus other sexy scenes.

Lust and Revenge

Paul Cox strikes again, this time with a light satire of the art world co-written with comedian John Clarke (who also co-wrote Lonely Hearts together). A new wing of a gallery is being opened by businessman George Oliphant (Chris Haywood) and he commissions celebrated sculptor Lili (Victoria Eagger) for a new piece. With George's daughter Georgina (Claudia Karvan), Lili decides on an ordinary looking man Karl-Heinz (Nicholas Hope), as her model. This works out well for him and his wife Cecilia (Gosia Dobrowolska) as he's getting $10,000 and they might be able to live in a Dutch cottage like they planned. But it turns out to be nude modelling which Karl-Heinz isn't worried about but he knows Cecilia is. Cecilia is deeply into a dodgy religion run by a charlatan Baba Charles (Norman Kaye). Cecilia finds out what's going on and unsurprisingly isn't happy but she accepts it only because she can push her husband into spruiking to George about getting funding for the dodgy religion. George then wants a bigger sculpture and all hell breaks loose. Not the best movie and plays on a lot of obvious clichés in the art world/psychiatry/fringe religions that it feels a little lazy. As a result, it may be Cox's most accessible movie as a lot happens, is fast-paced (for a Paul Cox movie) and plays like a jaunty comedy while not being all that funny.

A couple of nude scenes from Claudia Karvan including faking a nude sculpture plus a nude scene from Gosia Dobrowolska where she is drugged and ends up on heat and posing for the redesigned sculpture, showing a fair amount of nudity.

Mr. Reliable

Being 6 years since Nadia Tass and David Parker made The Big Steal (although Tass made the Martin Short vehicle Pure Luck in the mean time) but they're back for the second of two movies released in the 1990s about the Wally Mellish hostage siege in 1968 (first being 1994's Shotgun Wedding). Wally Mellish (Colin Friels) has just been released from prison and has decided to go straight. After buying a derelict house, which he fixes up, he meets Beryl (Jacqueline McKenzie) and they fall in love and move in together with her young son. Looking to spruce up the place, he goes to the junkyard and steals a Jaguar hood ornament and goes home. Next morning, the police come around, attempt to kick the door in and Wally gets one of his guns and fires a warning shot. Then he gets Beryl and her son and threatens to kill them if the police stay. The cops call in a hostage situation, but there hasn't been a hostage situation for many years and none of the cops know what to do. The police commissioner decides to take on the job personally, but even he doesn't seem to know what to do. Meanwhile, the media and a large crowd surround the area trying to get in on the fun. During the hostage situation, Wally and Beryl decide to get married. A pretty funny movie that pokes major fun at the incompetency of the event and the police and fits into the Tass/Parker formula perfectly, even if it takes very large liberties with how it all happened. Although that ending, if it didn't happen for real, would be an extremely large leap of faith.

No nudity in Mr. Reliable but there's a few videos of Jacqueline McKenzie from the movie available here.

 

 

Offspring

A contender for the worst Australian movie ever made. Maria (Gabrielle Fitzpatrick) is an actress who has become engaged to her leading man co-star Ben King (Robert Mammone). Her mother Rosa (Chantal Contouri) asks to see them and while Maria is reluctant as she is estranged from her mother, Ben convinces her. Things start off badly with Rosa insisting on separate rooms and Maria doesn't have her heart in it and seems to be excessively drinking and self-medicating. Rosa also begins to act strangely, going to an upstairs room every night and then coming onto Ben. Maria then wakes up and tells her side of the story to Ben which involves horrible sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather which is cheered on by Rosa. Ben and Maria decide to leave, but not before one last cup of tea... Sordid incest drama that's heavy on the sleaze and light on the substance with a truly ridiculous plot. There is so much talk of sexual abuse and ambivalent sexual behaviour that it's incredibly tough to like Offspring. Rosa is such an evil bitch (played quite well by Chantal Contouri) that her demise is most welcome. But Offspring's biggest issue is that it's almost 80 minutes of exposition. There is so much talking to describe the situation that I couldn't help but beg for someone to do something to shut the ones speaking up.

Extensive nudity from Gabrielle Fitzpatrick plus some body double nudity from Polly Wynne who is way too tall to be a double for short Chantal Contouri.

I've decided to redo the videos from a better copy of the movie I got off of Tubi but sadly the sound is much too high and I couldn't do much about it. It's not unbearable, just far too loud and noisy but that's Tubi's fault. You can find my original collages from Offspring here. I was hoping to redo them too but ran out of time.

Romeo + Juliet
aka William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet

Baz Luhrmann does Shakespeare and does a pretty fine job of putting his own touch on it. You know the plot of Romeo + Juliet, I ain't repeating it, it's always the same. Probably the only Luhrmann movie I've ever really liked and I know I'm an outlier on that.

While this is very much an American movie, it's does have Australian producers so it's here on a technicality.

There's no real nudity in Romeo + Juliet but there are some nip slips from both Claire Danes and Diane Venora.

Shine

Crowd-pleasing biopic about David Helfgott (Noah Taylor as a teen, Geoffrey Rush as an adult), a child prodigy on the piano who struggles to overcome his violent, demanding father Peter (Armin Mueller-Stahl). David goes to London on a scholarship and becomes a recognised pianist but he struggles with the fame that comes with it and eventually succumbs to schizophrenia which leaves him wallowing in mental institutions for over a decade. When he finally leaves, he meets Gillian (Lynn Redgrave) and falls in love while finally returning to the piano. Typical inspiring overcoming the odds biopic that is better for Rush's eccentric Oscar-winning performance. He really throws himself into it like nothing else.

Brief nudity from Lynn Redgrave.

Turning April

Canadian co-production about a put-upon wife April (Tushka Bergen) who is married to an ambitious political operator who is too busy with his career than be with his wife and daughter. April is left alone and bored so she starts doing a little shoplifting and one day she is caught by a store manager but as he brings her back to the store, it is robbed by a ragtag bunch who accidentally take April hostage. The gang have no idea what to do with April until Leif (Aaron Blabey) gets through to her. After a few days, the ragtag bunch start to get sick of her but April wants to stay and with the help of Leif, she becomes involved in their next 'heist'. Meanwhile, her husband could care less about her. April and Leif fall for one another and the heist goes, well, not at all. The gang want to get rid of April but she suggests on more heist of her father's place, who is a stamp collector but he's with April's daughter and... The movie is mostly forgettable, it doesn't know whether it wants to be serious or a comedy and fails at both. The ragtag crew is mostly pushed to the background once April and Leif get together and the husband is so selfish that he dumps his daughter with her paedo grandfather whose wife conveniently died a few days earlier. The movie doesn't seem to have a point and ends in an open-ended way.

Technically you can see Tushka Bergen's bottom in a long shot but there's also further sexy stuff in the movie.

Video Fool for Love

Autobiographical movie from film editor Robert Gibson (a lot of stuff including for George Miller who produces the movie). Robert is a 40-something man who films everything in his life on a video camera. In the early 1990s, he's going out with April but she moves to England for a while. They stay together but Robert can't help himself and meets Gianna and falls madly and deeply in love with her, so much so that they move in together while he's still with April. Eventually he breaks it off with April but only after she finds out. Robert is so deeply in love with Gianna that he proposes to her and she accepts but that is the catalyst of Gianna realising that maybe this is not what she wants. Ooof, Robert is really hard to like although he tries real hard to edit his movie in a way that you should like him. I don't know what it is. Maybe his leaving April on the line as he carries on passionately with Gianna or just that he films every fucking thing including jacking off in a sperm bank, Also found out he directed Snow: The Movie, which I absolutely despise. Just a hard movie to like.

There's nudity from Gianna Santone and a bunch of pixelated unknowns. Wonder what made Gianna sign off appearing in this movie because she could've easily have just said no considering how their relationship ended.

What I Have Written

Ooof, I don't have much of a memory of this movie at all although I do remember it being fairly sexual in content while not showing all that much plus it was extremely arty. It's really being a while since I've seen this.

Brief nudity from Angie Milliken and Gillian Jacobs.

You can find a synopsis with videos from What I Have Written here. A preview is below.

There's also a bunch of movies that had nothing to cap including Rolf de Heer's The Quiet Room, Cate Shortland's debut movie Parklands, the Indian/Australian drama Jhumka, drama The Inner Sanctuary, telemovie The Territorians and Hollywood movie The Phantom. There's a 3 second scene of Joy Smithers in a bikini from a distance in River Street, hardly worth capping plus there's plenty of cleavage from actresses in the feminist revolution drama Resistance (made in 1992 but released in 1996) that is directed by Toecutter/Immortan Joe himself Hugh Keays-Byrne. There's also nothing to cap in Peter Jackson's The Frighteners.

Also there's a few movies I couldn't get a hold of including telemovies Natural Justice: Heat plus I've seen Whipping Boy but don't have a decent copy of it. There's also the New Zealand family movie Flight of the Albatross which I doubt would have anything to cap anyway.

Looking very much like they'll be two updates for 1997 even with a number of movies still to check out.

Australian/New Zealand movies: 1995

A real drop off in movies released in 1995 coupled with a lot of them having nothing to cap. A fair number of movies released are holdovers from previous years which tells you how slow it was. But there were still a few stand-out movies for nudity including Angel Baby, Lilian's Story, Life and Love Until....

Big year for Dee Smart, who appeared in a number of movies despite her only role before this year was a popular turn in Home and Away back in 1991-1992. Apart from what is featured below, Dee was also in the short drama Audacious where she also has a nude scene in. Haven't been able to track it down though.

1995

All Men Are Liars

Cross-dressing comedy about a teenage boy Mick (David Price) whose mother leaves the family after his father, an Elvis-obsessed rocker Barry (John Jarratt) sells her piano. At the same time, an all-girl rock band from the city is in town for a few gigs and kicks out it's guitar player after she has an affair with the lead singer Angela's (Toni Pearen) boyfriend. The band advertise for a guitar player which Mick happens to be but there's just one issue: he's not a girl. Encouraged by his younger brother, Mick dresses up in his mother's clothes and auditions as 'Michelle' and gets the gig. Mick likes Angela but she kind of likes his dad until she gets closer to Mick dressed as a girl and she falls for Michelle. About as slight as a movie can be, a cute love story with a cross-dressing bent. Not much to it but it's hard to hate as it's very much a charmer.

There's no nudity in the movie but there's a scene where Toni Pearen is in a wet singlet and panties that's well worth a look.

You can find a synopsis with collages and videos from All Men Are Liars here. A preview is below.

Angel Baby

Relationship drama with the twist being that it's between two people with schizophrenia. Harry (Irish actor John Lynch) attends a support group for schizophrenia where a new attendee arrives in Kate (Jacqueline McKenzie). He falls for her instantly and starts to follow her around. Over the night, they fall for each other and things develop quickly to the point that they decide to move in together and fend for themselves away from their family structures. Everything is going fine, Harry even gets a job then Kate gets pregnant and they both decide to go off their medication. Then things go haywire. Their behaviour begins to change radically that it concerns Harry's brother Morris (Colin Friels) and his wife Louise (Deborra-Lee Furness). Harry and Kate are then kicked out of their flat and they end up squatting at a construction site which puts their baby at risk. A surprisingly decent look at mentally ill people trying to live their lives that is boosted by two excellent performances by Lynch and McKenzie. But it's also not an easy watch, particularly when things go haywire in the second half.

Jacqueline McKenzie shows extensive nudity throughout the movie including full frontal and rear nudity.

Back of Beyond

Ridiculous thriller about a motor mechanic Tom (Paul Mercurio) who works in a garage in a remote town in the desert. Tom seems to be in some sort of purgatory because he may have caused the death of his sister (Rebekah Elmaloglou) in a motorcycle accident and has hidden himself away from the world. Meanwhile, a car has broken down in the desert leaving its driver Nick (John Polson) and passengers Connor (Colin Friels) and Charlie (Dee Smart) stranded. After being told to see Tom about getting their car fixed, Charlie goes to find him but falls down dehydrated. Tom rescues her and they bond as she recovers. Tom tows the car with Connor and Nick back to his garage to fix it but seems to be taking his time which pisses off Connor who is late to an appointment with a fence to get money for the diamonds he has stolen. As Tom continues to stall, Connor becomes more heated and alienates everyone. Absolutely pointless movie where Tom is so mysterious that he's completely aloof and a complete drip. Of course Charlie falls for him in an instant. Also we find out that Mercurio is a terrible actor, unsurprising considering he was only a dancer before Strictly Ballroom boosted him to stardom. The movie dawdles along going nowhere until the need to finish the thing and then you find out that Tom is actually a ghost and just fuck off.

We briefly see Dee Smart's breasts in one scene.

Blackwater Trail

Serial killer mystery telemovie made by Channel 10 starring American actor Judd Nelson who plays Matt, who comes back to the small town he grew up in Australia after 10 years (ah, what? Not with that American accent he didn't) to attend the funeral of his former best mate who killed himself. Except the dead man's sister and Matt's former lover Cathy (Dee Smart) is certain he was murdered and tells him so. Matt was planning on leaving town immediately considering pretty much everyone else in town hates him including the town's wife-beating cop Chris (Mark Lee). But Cathy's declaration gets Matt thinking and he investigates and immediately finds a new victim and the possibility of a serial killer much to the chagrin of Chris who wants Matt gone and spends more time trying to get rid of Chris than investigating the increasing number of murders. So Matt and Cathy join forces to play a cat-and-mouse game with the killer which pisses off her drippy doctor husband Frank (Peter Phelps). Silly movie that's very much in tune with the 90s obsession with serial killer thrillers (this killer is obsessed with religious verses). The mystery is ridiculous so the plot turns into silly game of cat-and-mouse which ends in a warehouse confrontation and the cop getting his brains blown out fairly graphically. Not great but could've been worse.

No real nudity but the busy Dee Smart has a shower scene.

Bonjour Timothy (NZ)

Teen comedy about Timothy (Dean O'Gorman) who is caught 'peeping' on the girls so the principal offers his parents an ultimatum: either Timothy is suspended from school or they have to take the foreign exchange student they haven't been able to fob off. So they take the French Canadian boy named 'Michel' who turns out to be a girl named Michelle (Sabine Karsenti) in what must be one of the dumber plot twists ever. To begin with, Timothy and Michelle don't get along although he does have a thing for her which is exacerbated when she starts going out with Timothy's bully Derek (Richard Vette). Of course Derek treats her like crap so Timothy now has the chance to impress himself to her. By-the-numbers teen comedy that's probably more for younger teens as it's light on the sex and mostly fairly harmless. I still can't get over that rubbish Michel/Michelle mix-up, just a terrible plot twist.

There's some very brief anonymous nudity in a locker room scene and Sabine Karsenti is briefly seen in her underpants.

Lilian's Story

Drama about an eccentric old lady, Lilian (Ruth Cracknell) who is let out of a mental institution after 40 years and tries to find her way back in society. She is way out of her depth, but is also haunted by the demons of her past (younger Lilian played by Toni Collette) mostly caused by her domineering father (Barry Otto). Wandering around Sydney, Lilian meets a long lost love Frank (John Flaus) who is living in squalor by the sea and she then shacks up with for a while. When Frank dies, she goes back to the city and starts making money by reciting Shakespearean sonnets in the park. And finds her own form of contentment by finally being allowed to live. Based on a true story, the film is a well made tale about starting from nothing and learning to enjoy life after it has been taken away from you. While Ruth Cracknell is great as the older Lilian, Toni Collette as the younger Lilian has to do more of the heavy lifting with the more harrowing stuff.

Debut nudity from Toni Collette who now has a long history of stripping off for movies/TV. Quite extensive full frontal nudity from Toni plus some brief looks at her bottom.

Life

Another heavy prison drama, this time about prisoners who are HIV+ and mainly focuses on Des (John Brumpton, who also co-wrote the movie) who has just discovered he is HIV+. At first Des feels out of place in this division but he strike up a friendship with his cellmate Ralph (David Tredinnick), who is dying. Des also remembers his life on the outside including a relationship he has with a stripper Sharon (Belinda McClory). Based on a play so it feels very stagey but it's not a bad movie if you don't mind how depressing it gets.

Extensive nudity from Belinda McClory in an early movie role for her plus Libby Tanner shows her breasts.

Loaded (NZ)

Technically a New Zealand movie as it's made by Jane Campion's sister but the movie is purely British. A group of teenagers go for a weekend away to the country to make a low budget movie about a Celtic legend. The group slowly devolves into argument as tensions flare up. I don't remember much more than that.

Brief nudity from Catherine McCormack and Biddy Hodson.

Love Until...

Love story made in the Czech Republic with Australian actors in the lead roles. In a small town, Jan (Dino Marnika) runs a small restaurant/B&B in a village with his put upon wife Karla (Maureen O'Shaughnessy) and his brother and sister-in law. One day, three Australian women, Madeleine (Rachel Blakely), Suzie (Dee Smart) and Joanne (Collette of 'Ring My Bell' fame) come to town and eat and drink at the restaurant then stay a while. Jan falls for Madeleine but she has to go back to Prague where she is managing a struggling hotel and close to losing her job. Jan follows her to Prague where she gives him a job as a cook at the hotel and they fall for one another. He then helps Madeleine save her job after getting a makeover and then gets to the bottom of why the hotel is not performing. But there's always that lingering thought of what he left behind. Fairly enjoyable light movie with a plot that never really stretches itself and has a tidy if hasty ending which it probably doesn't deserve. The whole relationship between Jan and Karla is weird as he just up and leaves her for another woman then quietly comes back as if he didn't go off with Madeleine. But no more weird than an Australian movie made in a post-Cold War Czech Republic.

Rachel Blakely has a number of nude scenes showing her breasts and bottom. Maureen O'Shaughnessy shows her breasts and so does the busy Dee Smart in a brief scene.

Overnight (NZ)

Short drama set over one night in the life of Sina (Sarah Smuts-Kennedy) who is waiting for her long term rock star boyfriend Jim (Cliff Curtis) to come home but comes across a robber who she manages to overpower and tie up but he gets away when Jim comes home briefly. After his bandmate Kelly (Danielle Cormack) makes herself at home, she goes out looking for Jim. She discusses life with a taxi driver before finding Jim passed out a friend house. They then argue about Jim wanting to go to Australia which puts their relationship in jeopardy. A movie that feels short at 45 minutes as it ends very abruptly but at the same time doesn't really feel fleshed out. Probably would've worked better as feature length.

No nudity in Overnight but Sarah Smuts-Kennedy spends a fair amount of time in her underwear.

Sex Is a Four Letter Word

Low budget comedy about a group of friends who are invited to a beach house for a dinner party by Sylvie (Joy Smithers), a sex advice columnist who wants her friends to talk about their relationships and various things they have gotten up to so she can use them for fodder in her column. Unsurprisingly, things start to overheat as old tensions are brought up. Pretty typical dinner party movie.

Miranda Otto briefly shows her breasts and bottom while Joy Smithers shows her bottom as they both go skinnydipping.

Talk

Drama about two women, Stephanie (Angie Milliken) and Julia (Victoria Longley), who work together writing graphic novels. Stephanie is just back from a holiday and she is desperate for a man as she tells Julia in quite graphic detail. On the other hand, Julia suspects her husband Mac (John Jarratt, you don't even have to blink to miss him, suggesting his role was on cut out) is having an affair, possibly with an unknown girl (Jacqueline McKenzie) Julia has imagined. Meanwhile, Stephanie gets someone to fix her television, Jack (Richard Roxburgh) and he listens to their non-stop talk while taking forever to fix the television. Well, the title is entirely accurate because that's pretty much all there is and a fair bit of it is quite graphic talk about sex and sexual needs, hence the R rating it received. Not all boring, but tough to recommend a talkfest at any stage, even one with acted out inserts from the graphic novel which are related to the woman's lives.

Brief nudity from Angie Milliken during a fairly lengthy love scene.

You can find a synopsis with collages and VHS videos from Talk here. A preview is below.

That Eye, the Sky

Drama based on a Tim Winton novel about a family who are learning to cope after their patriarch is left in a vegetative state after being involved in a car accident. Ort (Jamie Croft) is a young boy who is coming to terms with his father's disposition and firmly believes that his father will be back to his normal self. His mother Alice (Lisa Harrow) is struggling with everything and his sister Tegwyn (Amanda Douge) is looking to leave home and move to the city for a better life. Then a drifter, Henry (Peter Coyote), arrives and offers to help out with the upkeep of the father free-of-charge. There's something magical about him and he will change all of their lives. A bit of a mess of a movie that is hard to pin down who it's really for because it feels like a family movie but has some heavy adult themes mostly around the character of Tegwyn. Otherwise, it's fairly typical of Tim Winton with families attempting to overcome the odds.

Amanda Douge shows her breasts in a couple of scenes.

Tunnel Vision

Phillip Avalon strikes again with this not-quite serial killer thriller. Maverick cop Frank (Robert Reynolds) and his loyal partner Kelly (Patsy Kensit) are looking into a killer who is painting his victims on canvas before murdering them. Meanwhile, Frank is having issues with his advertising project manager wife Helena (Rebecca Rigg), who he is convinced is having an affair with her co-worker David (David Woodley). Frank gets himself into trouble and is taken off the case, replaced by Steve (Gary Day, does this guy ever not play a cop?). This sets off Frank and he goes off at Helena who tells him she's not having an affair. By-the-way there's a killer to catch and the police think it's an art dealer named Breslin (Justin Monjo) but there's one last twist that will make finding a serial killer irrelevant. Baffling movie where the main serial killer plot is a total red herring to the real plot of who really wants to fuck Helena, which turns out to be pretty much anyone and who wouldn't when it's the gorgeous Rebecca Rigg we are talking about. The movie practically abandons the serial killer plot as Frank loses his shit over the smallest things without doing the slightest investigating. While there's a neat twist at the end involving who she is fucking, it actually co-opts the serial killer who's lying in wait. Never seen a movie abandon a procedural like this, it's truly bizarre.

Brief nudity from Vanessa Steele as a murder victim while another actress is seen naked in a number of scenes but is uncredited. There's also a sexy scene featuring Rebecca Rigg.

Vacant Possession

Oddball drama about Tessa (Pamela Rabe) who comes home for her mother's funeral only to be burdened with dealing with her parent's apparently empty house with her sister Kate (Linden Wilkinson). Things become frayed between the two when Tessa is told she's not getting any money for the house despite saying her mother told her she would. Tessa decides to stay at the old family home and discovers that her mother let pretty much anyone stay at the house as people keep arriving and making themselves at home which eventually includes her long lost father Frank (John Stanton) who was abusive toward Tessa and her mother. Staying in the house also brings back memories of growing up including when as a teenage girl she fell in love with an Indigenous boy which both her mother Joyce (Toni Scanlan) and father forbade her to do. This is coupled with the strange friendship her mother seem to have with the Indigenous family she let stay at the house after she moved out. A very odd look at the cultural mix between white people and Indigenous as exemplified by this derelict house. Strange things keep happening and so many people arrive and play a part in the story of the house. A very interesting look at flashpoint in the lives of a family and Australian history.

Some brief nudity from Pamela Rabe as her breasts are exposed accidentally in a swimming sequence.

There's a bunch of movies that don't have anything to cap including Babe, the remake of an Australian classic Dad and Dave: On Our Selection, woman's drama Hotel Sorrento, black comedy Mushrooms, Milo and Otis derivative Napoleon, rodeo drama Rough Diamonds, Billy's Holiday which is an oddball comedy about a man who sings like Billie Holliday, fairly decent Richard Norton actioner Under the Gun, thriller To the Point of Death, Brian Trenchard-Smith directed World War II remake Sahara, another World War II action movie The Last Bullet and docudrama Frailejón. Also with nothing to cap is the New Zealand movie Jack Brown, Genius and short drama Swimming Lessons.

There's also a few Australian movies I wasn't able to find including The Last Game, The Life of Harry Dare, Ninja II and On the Dead Side.

Things pick up again for Australian movie in 1996, so much so that I'm considering 2 updates for the year.

Australian/New Zealand movies: 1994

Banner year for Australian movies with two big hits in Muriel's Wedding and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert plus New Zealand also had a couple of great movies in Heavenly Creatures and Once Were Warriors. Also a good year for nudity with movies like Fatal Past, Ebbtide, Signal One, Traps and Metal Skin having their fair share of nudity. Then there's Sirens, which is just wall-to-wall nudity.

1994

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

One of the early successful LGBT+ movies. Three performers from Sydney, two drag queens (Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce) and a transwoman (Terence Stamp) get a gig to perform their act in Alice Springs and decide to hire a bus, which they name Priscilla, to get there. Along the way the bus breaks down and they come across Bob (Bill Hunter) who helps them get the bus back on the road. In the meantime, the three performers are stuck in the middle of nowhere where the locals haven't come across anything like them but seem to welcome something different. Just a strangely crowd-pleasing movie with a soundtrack that was everywhere at the time (and since) and is now a part of Australian culture.

No nudity in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert but there's some sexy scenes featuring Julia Cortez playing Bob's wife with a penchant for using ping pong balls which you can find here.

 

 

Body Melt

The first phase is Hallucinogenic. The second phase is Glandular. The third phase is...

Cult horror comedy classic with a very unique aesthetic and a truly bizarre sense of humour. A super drug is sent out to be tested by the inhabitants of Pebbles Court in a Melbourne suburb. After a journalist finds out the terrible secret about the drug, he is given a dose and dies horrendously in the court before he can desperately tell it's residents. Also helping get the drug out to the public is shonky doctor Dr. Carrera (Ian Smith, Harold from Neighbours) who's the brother of it's creator Pud (Vincent Gil) who lives with his mutated family on a farm. Meanwhile, the residents of Pebbles Court takes the drug and one-by-one succumb in the most ludicrously grotesque ways. A truly ridiculous movie that never takes itself seriously and is full of unique special and makeup effects that heighten the comedy. Plus it's great seeing fairly well-known or soon-to-be known actors get absolutely ruined along the way.

There's a pretty decent nude scenes featuring Regina Gaigalas plus another nude scene from an actress named Parthena.

You can find a synopsis with collages and HD videos from Body Melt here. A preview is below.

Country Life

Ha, I don't remember this movie at all. Looks like it's an adaptation of the Chekhov play Uncle Vanya. That'll probably explain why I don't remember it.

There's no nudity in Country Life but there's a video of Greta Scacchi from the movie available here.

 

 

Dallas Doll

Black comedy/satire about a pro-golfer/motivational speaker Dallas (Sandra Bernhard) who meets a school boy Charlie (Jake Blundell) on a plane after she takes his girlfriend's seat and they hit it off. They meet once again and Charlie introduces Dallas to his family including mother Ros (Victoria Longley), father Stephen (Frank Gallacher) and teenage sister Rastus (Rose Byrne in her first movie). First mistake. Second mistake is spying her undressing through the window and falling for her, eventually losing his virginity with Dallas. Dallas then decides the seduce the rest of the family Poison Ivy-style, well except Rastus who despises her and is more interested in spotting UFOs. Dallas then sets her sights on taking over the whole town with her special kind of 'outsider knowledge'. A movie that has an interesting idea but gets too bogged down with Dallas seducing the family and doesn't focus so much on the more interesting stuff regarding Australians blindly thinking anything an American says is worth listening to. Bernhard is interesting casting and is both good and bad throughout the movie with Longley being the real stand out here as someone who becomes emboldened by Dallas's arrival. The movie ends in the stupidest way possible involving UFOs, it might've been better to just cut to credits.

Sandra Bernhard shows her breasts and bottom in a few scenes while Victoria Longley shows her breasts briefly.

Ebbtide

Tepid Adelaide-set erotic thriller where hotshot lawyer Jeff Warren (US actor Harry Hamlin) who takes over the cases of his long time buddy who is killed while investigating a case against a company accused of polluting the water around its plant which resulted in the death of a young boy. Turns out his friend is nothing more than an ambulance chaser who accidentally stumbled onto this case and what Jeff finds is a massive cover up involving it's two owners Ellen and Harry Fielding (New Zealand actress Judy McIntosh and John Waters). Jeff becomes obsessed with Ellen and they begin an affair which the Fieldings will use to frame Jeff for the murder of the real Harry Fielding (what?). Director Craig Lahiff was really going through a slump with this coming after another terrible erotic thriller Strangers. Co-written by Bob Ellis so you know that it's also going to be sleazy and it doesn't disappoint with Judy McIntosh's role devolving into being a sex object while Hamlin doesn't add much. Then there's the open ending, which is absolutely preposterous for a movie like this.

A few nude scenes from Judy McIntosh where she shows her breasts and bottom. There's also a scene with an unknown actress who shows her breasts, bottom and brief full frontal nudity.

You can find a synopsis with collages and VHS videos from Ebbtide here. A preview is below.

Exile

Minimalist Paul Cox period drama where a young man Peter Costello (Aden Young) is 'exiled' off to an uninhabited island off Tasmania after being found guilty of stealing sheep. He's left to his own devices and starts seeing and talking to a ghost (Norman Kaye) when he's not remembering things. Then a maid, Mary (Beth Champion), who works for Peter's intended love Jean (Claudia Karvan) hears about Peter and decides to join him on the island. They eventually get together and have a child while Jean's life falls apart after tragedy in childbirth. Later, Peter and Mary convince a priest (Chris Haywood) to marry them. Not a lot to this screensaver of a movie. Lots of contemplation and people doing the most basic of things. Low on the excitement scale.

Beth Champion shows her breasts during a sex scene and has a double for a breastfeeding scene. We also see Claudia Karvan briefly show her right nipple when she opens her blouse. She previously did extensive nudity in Cox's Touch Me.

Fatal Past

Silly erotic thriller about Costello (Costas Mandylor), who impresses during a drug deal gone wrong and he is recommended by right hand man Fuller (Boris Brkic) to gangster David (Terence Cooper). He gets a job keeping an eye on David's mistress Jennifer Lawrence(!) (Polish actress Katarzyna Figura). She shows an interest in Costello but he knows not to go there. When an attempt is made on David's life, Costello saves the day again. Jennifer begins to have vivid dreams that she's a 1700s geisha in Japan which become startlingly real resulting in Jennifer and Costello having sex. They are eventually caught but before David can deal with them, he is murdered by rival gangster Peter (Steven Grives). Now Jennifer's vivid dreams point to both Costello and her dying so can they break the spell before Peter kills them? Rubbish mix of stock standard gangster plot and a baffling story of Japanese love gone wrong. Sticking with the ridiculous dream plot hampers the movie particularly during the silly ending. Tries to be a Zalman King-type movie (Mandylor would later go on to star in King's Delta Of Venus) but those movies are usually well lit and this looks like they forgot to pay the bills.

Katarzyna Figura shows her breasts, bottom and some brief full frontal nudity in a number of scenes. She was absolutely hot stuff in the 90s. Also Kelly Hall shows her breasts in a couple of scenes who I was only able to identify after a ludicrous appearance in an episode of Chances.

You can find a synopsis with collages and videos from Fatal Past here. A preview is below.

Heavenly Creatures (NZ)

I know you guys probably prefer the Lord of the Rings movies but Heavenly Creatures is absolutely my favourite Peter Jackson movie. Disturbing true-to-life drama about Pauline (Melanie Lynskey), a teenage girl who struggles to make friends until British girl Juliet (Kate Winslet) arrives and the two hit it off immediately. They devise their own world which the go to regularly and this begins to alarm their parents. They try to pull them apart but that only brings them closer together to the point where they devise a plan to kill Pauline's mother, which they carry out. Jackson moved away from his wacky horror movies to something far more serious and comes up with a complete winner that launched the careers of both Winslet and Lynskey. Not even a Harvey Weinstein butchering could stop it.

Both Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet show their breasts slightly under water in bath scenes plus Melanie shows her breasts briefly in the fullscreen version of the movie. I found a fullscreen video from someone else and featured it below but I had to fix the aspect ratio. I've also added my original collage from the VHS of the movie.

The Last Tattoo (NZ)

American co-production set during World War II when American soldiers rested in New Zealand. Kelly (Kerry Fox) is a nurse who is working on the stopping the spread of VD amongst the soldiers and locals. She has come across a particularly virulent strain and one of the people she has deduced who has it is Rose Mitchell (Katie Wolfe), but she seems to have disappeared and it's because of the murder of an American soldier who was going to be her husband. The American soldiers, headed by General Frank Zane (Rod Steiger) and Commander Conrad Dart (Robert Loggia) have reluctantly decided to investigate the murder and get the injured Captain Michael Starwood (Tony Goldwyn) to discreetly investigate. This means that both Kelly and Michael are looking for Rose, which disgusts Kelly as she is after discretion for her patients. She finds Rose, but Michael follows her and this chases Rose off. Meanwhile, the local union, who are involved in the murder are attempting to stop the truth from coming out. Despite the strange plot device revolving around sexual disease, there's an interesting movie working in the same areas as Death Of A Soldier helped by two good performances by Fox and Goldwyn.

Brief nudity from Kerry Fox and Katie Wolfe who also has nudity in a short also made in 1994, La Vie En Rose.

Lucky Break
aka Paperback Romance

Romantic comedy where Sophie (Gia Carides) is a wannabe romance novel writer and when Eddie (Anthony LaPaglia) hears her reciting one of her stories, he instantly falls for her. He asks Sophie out but she is reluctant because she is disabled and thinks if he finds out he'll reject her. So she ends up rejecting him but is still keen. She spies on him and finds that he already has a fiancé Gloria (Rebecca Gibney). When she looks as if she's going to be found out spying on him, Sophie runs away but gets in a tangle and ends up breaking her disabled leg (lucky break!). She then meets Eddie at a party and she now has a way to hide her disability and still go out with him. They hit it off but time is running out with the cast set to come off and she still hasn't told Eddie about her disability. There's also a sub-plot involving a missing piece of jewellery that Eddie may have stolen and a weird detective Yuri (Jacek Koman) is chasing him. He also falls for Sophie in a Russian literature way. Utterly silly and nutty movie that goes from one ridiculous concept to another poorly thought out one until it lands on a crazy crime plot that doesn't begin until 30 minutes left in the movie. Kept thinking that it'll turn out that Sophie was faking her disability as there's that much ridiculous stuff going on. Gloria knows about Sophie and just lets her hang around Eddie like she's borrowing him from her. The concept just never works.

Brief nudity from Pandora Finch during a sex scene that is a recreation of one of Sophie's stories. There's also sexy scenes featuring Gia Carides and Rebecca Gibney,

Metal Skin

Follow-up from Romper Stomper director Geoffrey Wright. Joe (Aden Young) gets a job at a supermarket and comes across Dazey (Ben Mendelsohn) and they bond over their obsession with cars. He also meets a Satan-worshipping shoplifter Savina (Tara Morice) who he ends up falling for. But not everything is fine in their lives, particularly Joe's, who's father is a lunatic who's about to explode. You'd think that a movie from hot director and starring four of the biggest young Australian actors at the time (including Nadine Garner) would be a winner, but it fails miserably. The movie is perpetually gloomy saturated in a dark blue sheen and none of the characters are all that interesting and they are completely messed up but that's nothing compared to Joe's father. Also for a movie about illegal drag racers there's very little drag racing.

Tara Morice shows her breasts in a number of scenes plus Nadine Garner shows her breasts in a late scene where she's has a deformed breast.

Muriel's Wedding

Another crowd-pleasing movie, a comedy about ABBA-obsessed outcast Muriel (Toni Collette), who dreams of getting married but cannot attract a boyfriend let alone get a date. She lives with her no-hoper family in Porpoise Spit who is led by patriarch Bill (Bill Hunter) who is running for parliament despite his family's issues. After she steals some money and crashes a holiday with her 'friends', Muriel meets Rhonda (Rachel Griffiths) and they become friends so much so that Muriel goes to live with her in the big city. In the city, Muriel meets men but doesn't have much success at keeping them and Rhonda becomes disabled. Muriel then takes desperate measures to get married and decides to become involved in an arranged marriage with South African swimmer David (Daniel Lapaine). But Muriel's lies are about to fall down then her mother (Jeanie Drynan) kills herself and her father is helpless without her. Another mainstay Australian movie that had breakout roles for Collette and Griffiths also director P.J. Hogan plus it's the reason you never not hear ABBA still.

No nudity in Muriel's Wedding but there's a few videos from the movie available here.

 

 

Once Were Warriors (NZ)

Incendiary drama about a Maori family that about to fall apart in a most dramatic fashion. Beth (Rena Owen) holds together a family run by a drunken and violent patriarch Jake (Temuera Morrison). Things are on the edge after Jake's latest beating of Beth and coupled with oldest son joining a gang, another son well on the way to jail while teenage daughter Grace (Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell) is waiting for the day when she can leave home. After another particularly raucous party at home, Grace is raped by an uncle and it results in her killing herself and Beth finally decides to leave with the family. But Jake isn't taking it lying down. He'll be at the pub. A dark, violent movie of unrelenting horror with three great performances notably by Temuera Morrison and Rena Owen who went onto bigger international careers and less notably by Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell, who plays the eldest daughter and the heart of the family which breaks horribly when she kills herself.

Brief nudity from Rena Owen as she dresses.

Point of No Return

Thriller where former military man Grady (Marcus Graham), now in jail, attends the funeral of his brother and on the way back home, he escapes custody and attempts to make sense of his brother's murder. His first stop is his old flame Kate (Nikki Coghill), who had moved onto his brother after Grady was jailed and gets her to reluctantly tag along as he heads to his brother's house. At the house, he finds Frank (John Arnold), who is ransacking the house looking for something. It turns out that Frank is looking for triggers for nuclear weapons that Grady's brother was flogging off to the Russian Mafia. While searching the house, Grady finds a zone activated hidden camera which captures of all things, Grady's brother's death at the hands of North Korean 'businessmen' who also seem to be after the triggers. While trying to figure out what to do next, a delivery man arrives with a box with the triggers. Frank also arrives back at the house with the North Koreans and they want those triggers real bad. With the cops closing in on Grady, he might just get out of this mess alive. Efficient thriller, that's about the best thing I can say about the movie because the plot is totally ludicrous. Spends most of the movie at Grady's brother's house then Graham plays his non-twin brother with a dodgy wig and moustache. It's not a particularly bad movie but it does wallow with very low intentions.

Nikki Coghill shows her breasts and bottom in a particularly lengthy love scene.

The Roly Poly Man

Loony noir parody about private detective Dirk Trent (Paul Chubb) who decides to investigate a probable murder of a client he was investigating. She turns up alive but her partner dies in a bizarre fashion and Trent decides to keep investigating while 'dating' coroner Sandra (Susan Lyons). Also helped by trusty tech guy Mickey (Les Foxcroft) they comes across a conspiracy involving a brain slug that eats tumours but goes too far to explode people's heads. Trent thinks nutty doctor Henderson (Frank Whitten) is behind it but as the heads keep exploding, Trent is closing in on the killer but also closer to getting his own brain slug. Absolutely ridiculous plot but a total riot of a movie with plenty of laughs and things happening that are so unbelievable that it could only end in a way you'd never imagine in a thousand years. A sadly lost gem.

No nudity in The Roly Poly Man but there's a scene featuring Sarah Lambert in a bra that plays throughout the movie.

Signal One
aka Bullet Down Under

Christopher Atkins comes back for a third Australian movie (after The Pirate Movie and the previous year's Exchange Lifeguards) for another Phillip Avalon special. This time it's a racist cop thriller where American cop Martin Bullet (Christopher Atkins) kills a kid during a bust and decides it's time to move with his Australian wife Charlene (Maureen O'Shaughnessy) and become a cop in Sydney. Meanwhile, Detective Jack Moran (former VFL footballer Mark 'Jacko' Jackson) is first on the scene of a murder with his partner Boza and in a chase with the supposed killer, his partner gets hurts badly. The actual killer is mentally impaired Frankie (Richard Carter) who panicked during a drug deal and his brother Doug (Alfred Bell) attempts to get the cops off his scent by serving up the supposed killer Tony who works for Chinese crime lord Chang Kai Chee (Kee Chan). Bullet joins Moran as his partner and they track Tony but he gets away. Tony tracks down Frankie and slaughters him while Doug continues to play both sides by giving the cops Tony again except 'Toni' (Virginia Hey) is not quite who they think they are. Fairly standard cop thriller but is surprisingly better than it has any right to be by having one helluva a twist. While the story is nothing special and the cops same old, same old, the twist adds some life to the movie that gets snuffed out with a pedestrian end chase. Jacko plays the only character he can play but plays it well enough to outshine Atkins and his whooping and hollering during his sex scene (yes, you read right) is fairly amusing which helps leaven the blow of seeing his arse.

Maureen O'Shaughnessy shows her breasts and bottom in a sex scene while Virginia Hey shows her breasts, bottom and occasionally full frontal nudity in a very physical and violent sex scene (where she's the one doing the violence) with Jacko. There's also nudity from a dancer at a club.

Sirens

Light comedy/drama set in the 1930s where young English reverend Anthony Campion (Hugh Grant) is asked by his church to visit notorious Australian artist Norman Lindsay (Sam Neill) and talk him into replacing controversial paintings including ones that are considered sacrilegious with more conservative paintings. The reverend takes his wife Estella (Tara Fitzgerald) to Lindsay's home in the Blue Mountains for what is supposed to be a one night stay, but the train is delayed indefinitely. Over their stay, the Campions are treated to a lifestyle they are not accustomed to. And the reverend is finding it impossible to talk Lindsay around. Meanwhile, Estella hangs around with Lindsay's models Sheila (Elle Macpherson), Pru (Tziporah Malkah) and the live-in maid Giddy (Portia de Rossi) and her eyes are opened to her own sexuality, which she has repressed because of her lifestyle. From director John Duigan, Sirens is a warm and honest film about sexuality and how it plays a part in art and life. The actors are all uniformly good, even the first time actresses playing the models, but the film is driven by Grant and Fitzgerald and both actors are well cast here. Definitely better than it's wink-wink nudge-nudge reputation, but if you just like that, there's plenty of nudity in this movie, that's for sure.

Extensive nudity throughout the movie from Tara Fitzgerald, Elle Macpherson, Tziporah Malkah formerly Kate Fischer, Portia de Rossi and Pamela Rabe.

Spider & Rose

After spending the 80s making his little movies, Bill Bennett finally gets a budget and makes this road movie where ambulance driver Spider (Simon Bossell) is tasked with driving elderly Rose (Ruth Cracknell) home six hours away. She just survived a car accident where her husband died and he's on his last day on the job. Things get off to a prickly start when Rose wants to ride up the front with Spider and don't get any better when she goes off with a random driver Jack (Max Cullen) forcing Spider to chase after her. They finally get back together then get into an accident where Spider breaks his leg. But they get back on the road and bond before Rose is dropped off at home and receives a frosty reception from her family despite what happened and on her 70th birthday. Spider decides to emancipate her from her family. OK movie, the scenario feels incredibly contrived and the two of them aren't strong enough characters to carry the entire movie so it gets a bit boring along the way which probably explains why they get into so many pointless scrapes.

Nudity from Ruth Cracknell in a couple of scenes.

Traps

Political drama set in 1950s Indochina where Michael (Robert Reynolds), an English journalist who has come to inspect a rubber plantation so that he can report back its success. Joined by his wife Louise (Saskia Reeves), a photographer, they stay at the house of the manager of the plantation Daniel (Sami Frey), a Frenchman who has lives with his daughter Viola (Jacqueline McKenzie). Turns out all is not well with Michael and Louise's marriage plus Viola wants to leave home, first by attempting to conjure a romance with their houseboy, Tuan (Kiet Lam), then becoming obsessed with wanting to follow Louise back to London. Tuan is torn between being loyal to Daniel and going off with his people who are beginning an insurgency against their French keepers. An interesting movie which mixes the political tension with the sexual and marriage tension that Michael and Louise are facing. It is a fairly good movie for the most part, but the ending isn't great, seemingly going too far in a certain direction without notice, causing what I feel to be an unsatisfactory ending.

Decent nudity from Saskia Reeves particularly during a massage scene.

As usual there's a number of movies that had nothing to cap including the Paul Hogan starring comedy Lightning Jack, gay drama The Sum of Us, Brooke Shields starring thriller The Seventh Floor, prison drama Everynight... Everynight, religious biopic Mary, serial killer drama Ladykiller, feature movie made from the TV series Police Rescue (technically Cate Blanchett's first movie), family movie The Return of Tommy Tricker and teenage girl short feature Only the Brave. There's also a couple of New Zealand movies Kahu & Maia and Rugged Gold with nothing to cap.

There's a few Australian movies that I haven't been able to check including Baby Bath Massacre, Cops and Robbers aka Kevin Rampenbacker and the Electric Kettle, Gino, Girl, Lex and Rory plus Nocturnal which was available at one stage but doesn't seem to be anymore. There's also the Boulevard Films last gasp The Intruder that has never been released but could have some interesting stuff in it (it does star Tottie Goldsmith).

1995 is looking like it's going to be a slow year for nudity. I've got a few movies to look through but it's not looking promising.

Clean Up

After completing the updates for the respective years, there have been movies that I was unable to find. But in the meantime, I was able to pick up copies of a few movies I could not find beforehand so with a mid-week respite I've decided to put together this update. I've kept the format of the yearly updates and they'll be a list of movies that I've gone through but had nothing to cap after the updates.

1989

Becca
aka Derfydd Aur / Realms of Gold

ABC telemovie that's a Welsh co-production set in the late 1800s about couple in Wales, Becca (Beth Robert) and Dai (Dafydd Hywel) who become a part of a Welsh revolutionary group called the Daughters of Becca who are sick of the English laws that are being imposed on them. They join after Dai's mother dies and their landlord wants to kick them out, Well, Dai gets arrested and found guilty then sent to Tasmania for hard labour, meaning he is separated from Becca. Dai's preacher brother Gwilym (Dafydd Emyr) helps Becca out while Dai is treated harshly until he becomes friendly with one of the troopers Matt (Gary Sweet) and helps him after Matt is spied having an affair with the boss' wife. Dai and Matt escape together to the Victorian goldfields while Becca and Gwilym become closer and eventually decide to come to Australia to find Dai. By the time they arrive in Australia, Becca and Gwilym have fallen for each other. They eventually find Dai but it might be too late. OK drama that is mostly predictable, particularly where the Becca and Gwilym relationship goes and then the ending. There's probably a 50/50 mix of English and Welsh with a fair chunk of the movie set in Wales.

Sort of nudity from Welsh actress Beth Robert who shows the side of the breast in a couple of scenes while she's in a wet see-through blouse in another. There's also another scene where Australian actress Polly Croke is briefly naked but you don't really see anything and it's very much implied.

11536kb 58sec 512x388 (wet see-through top to breasts)

2187kb 18sec 512x388 (implied nudity, plenty of cleavage in open gown)

 

 

Cappuccino

Comedy about the trials and tribulations of being an actor that is desperately trying to get a role. The main focus is around Max (John Clayton) who drives a taxi most of the time while trying to do stand-up comedy at night. He has a new girlfriend in the much younger Celia (Cristina Parker) who seems to sleep her way through actors in better positions. He also has coffee with other actor friends like Larry (Barry Quin) who has a role in a long running soapie until he is sacked and he becomes incredibly depressed. Then there's Anna (Rowena Wallace) who's more of a stage actress that is obsessed with her reviews. Finally there's Maggie (Jeanie Drynan), Max's ex-wife who is struggling to get a role as she hits middle-age. A whole lot of navel-gazing in this movie that at times feels more like a docudrama, particularly when Max speaks directly to the camera. Intermittently funny but nothing that hasn't been seen before in every other movie of it's type.

Cristina Parker shows her breasts in one scene plus there's other sexy stuff throughout as she portrays a bit of a starfucker. This is her only movie.

9149kb 1min 01sec 640x352 (breasts/side-boob, 'nude' under covers)

 

 

1991

Aya

Drama set in post-World War II Australia where Japanese woman Aya (Eri Ishida) is living in Australia with her army husband Frank (Nicholas Eadie) and their son. Things seem to be going well, they still love one another and Aya seems to be fitting in to Australia plus they are helped by their Japanese-speaking friend Mac (Chris Haywood), who introduced them. Four years later, Frank has an accident and ends up losing his job and becomes depressed and helpless while Aya takes on two jobs, one at a Japanese restaurant and another as a secretary. As Frank starts to become more possessive of Aya, she catches the eye of a patron at the restaurant Inoue (Takahito Masuda) and they have a brief liaison that ends in her pregnancy and eventually miscarriage. Over time, things get worse between Aya and Frank and she starts to take comfort in Mac, who is interested in helping her. Interesting movie that doesn't delve too deeply into post-war issues and focuses more on Aya's relationships with Frank and Mac. It shows Aya picking up the slack from the incapacitated Frank and her independence from him. Not a bad little movie and Eri Ishida is very good.

Japanese actress Eri Ishida briefly shows her breasts as she gets out of bed and puts on a gown.

25716kb 3min 09sec 640x480 (brief breasts, bra, 'nude' under covers, extremely lengthy)

 

I've also gone through some movies that I wasn't previously able to and found that there was nothing to cap. These include two 1989 Bill Bennett movies Malpractice and Mortgage, both of which are basically docudramas. Another docudrama, the 1987 movie Custody had nothing to cap in it while the 1983 New Zealand short drama Hooks and Feelers also has nothing to cap.

 

Back in April, I made an Insight update about Pamela Stephenson that went through her career and posted most of her nude and sexy scenes. One of the movies featured was the 1978 horror movie The Comeback. I received a message saying that in the fullscreen version of the movie you could see a nip slip from Pamela that you couldn't see in the widescreen version. Well, I found a fullscreen DVD the message was right. Also, I found that I had missed an earlier scene in the movie where you can see a fair portion of Pamela's bottom as it's been fondled by a bloke. I've included the scene in HD below plus a number of raw caps that may better show the scenes featured.

07/07/2024

Australian/New Zealand movies: 1993

While the drop off in the number of movies made continues, 1993 was a decent year when it comes to nudity on screen. A number of movies had extensive nudity like Bad Boy Bubby, Flynn, Exchange Lifeguards, Wide Sargasso Sea and the Paul Cox Erotic Tale Touch Me. Also significant nudity from Claudia Karvan who appeared nude in three productions for the year plus decent scenes from Naomi Watts (her debut nudity) and Miranda Otto.

1993

Adrift (NZ)

American telemovie made in and off New Zealand about a couple, Katie (Kate Jackson) and Guy (Kenneth Welsh), who come across a boat drifting and enter it, finding another couple Nick (Bruce Greenwood) and Eliza (Kelly Rowan) barely alive having been apparently attacked. So Katie and Guy take on the other couple but it isn't long before they find out that Nick and Eliza may have been the protagonists and not the victims. Then Katie and Guy are taken hostage and are about to be killed off but the only thing that saves them is that they are hundreds of miles away from anywhere and only Katie knows how to use the motor on the boat. Pretty stock standard thriller on the sea that is more violent than I was expecting. Nick and Eliza aren't the most convincing of villains and do a lot of yelling until the inevitable ending.

No nudity in Adrift but there's a few sexy scenes featuring Kelly Rowan that are available below.

Bad Boy Bubby

Rolf de Heer's genre bending cult classic about a shut-in Bubby (Nicholas Hope), abused by his mother and told that the outside world is poison until he finally kills her, his 'father' and sadly the cat with cling wrap. Then he finally goes out into the world and discovers life as he's never experienced. His child-like brain finds his own way and discovers his place finally meeting Angel (Carmel Johnson) who he falls in love with and they have a child together. Incredibly unique and truly bizarre movie that despite it's grotesque beginning feels like a celebration of life.

Plenty of nudity in the movie from a number of actresses including Carmel Johnson which includes a somewhat graphic birthing scene, Claire Benito as Bubby's incestuous mother, Natalie Carr, Stephanie Cooper and Fille Dusselee.

You can find a synopsis with collages and HD videos from Bad Boy Bubby here. A preview is below.

Crimebroker

Telemovie starring two international actors where Holly McPhee (Jacqueline Bisset), who is a judge by day and in her spare time she plans heists for a shady middle man (Gary Sweet). Holly plans one last heist outside her court room before quitting for good. It goes extremely well until a visiting criminal psychologist Jin (Masaya Katô) instantly picks that Holly is involved thanks to a photo one of the robbers carelessly left behind. Instead of hauling her in, Jin blackmails her into committing a robbery at the bank across the road with him, which Holly reluctantly does and it ends up setting something off in her, getting her excited for further robberies and for Jin. Police are closing in but Jin is covering their tracks with an increasing number of bodies. Holly works out that Jin is incredibly dangerous and may be not who he says he is but by then, she's in too deep. Surprisingly effective heist thriller and both Bisset and Katô are very good together. Sure, it's all predictable and the plot holes are large but it's a pretty good watch nonetheless.

No nudity but there's a few sexy videos featuring Jacqueline Bisset that are featured below.

The Custodian

Sleazy corrupt cop thriller about a detective James Quinlan (Anthony LaPaglia), who sees his life falling apart with a deadbeat wife and shitbox apartment while his partner Church (Hugo Weaving) is living it up. When a raid of an illegal casino seems fishy, Quinlan has had enough. He accuses Church of corruption to his face, which he denies. Quinlan launches an audacious plan to take down Church and everyone else by becoming corrupt himself. He enlists the help of a hotshot current affairs reporter (Kelly Dingwall) to get the word out and also the only good internal affairs cop (Barry Otto) but it's going to come at a cost for all involved. Densely plotted thriller where there's no winners, plenty of awful stuff happening and a whole bunch actors at their best. It's a shame the movie is incredibly sleazy and very overplotted. Otherwise it's a pretty solid movie.

A bit of nudity from Essie Davis in her debut movie plus some sleazy stuff from Christina Totos and Skye Wansey.

Desperate Remedies (NZ)

Visually dynamic costume drama about a prominent clothes maker Dorothea (Jennifer Ward-Lealand) who goes to the docks to look for a man and finds newly arrived Lawrence (Kevin Smith) and gets an urchin to give him a business card with the message to come see her. Turns out that Dorothea has an underage sister Rose (Kiri Mills), whose become opium addicted thanks to her flamboyant beau Fraser (Cliff Curtis) and Dorothea has decided to find her a husband and get rid of Fraser. Meanwhile a local MP, William (Michael Hurst) has a massive business proposition for Dorothea involving making uniforms for 4000 soldiers but the deal hedges on her being married so William offers his services for a marriage of convenience. Turns out Dorothea is secretly in love with her business partner Anne (Lisa Chappell) and the deal is looking good despite having to get married. Lawrence arrives and finds out he's to be Rose's husband and he reluctantly accepts but he becomes enamoured with Dorothea. Massively camp movie that is very sexual despite being discreet about sex and nudity with both straight and homosexual relationships and is full of garish sets and costumes and bold, loud music. The story is pretty predictable stuff for a period drama but it's never boring and strangely alluring, much more than I was expecting. And amazingly Cliff Curtis, usually a tough guy/menacing actor is the campest of the lot.

Brief nudity from Kiri Mills, Bridget Armstrong and Iren Malone. Disappointing considering how everyone is so hyped-up sexually.

Encounters
aka Voyage in Fear

Turgid horror thriller where Madaline (Kate Raison) begins having vivid dreams from her past that suggest that she was the reason that her little brother died when they were kids and now she thinks that he's coming back to get revenge. These dreams haunt her so her partner Martin (Martin Sacks) decides to go on a road trip to get away then they break down in the middle of nowhere and Martin goes to get help, leaving Madaline alone. She ends up at Harris'(Martin Vaughan) farm and becomes utterly convinced that he's trying to kill her and this is not helped by the way he's behaving. Silly stuff with a ridiculous twist that ends up being a whole lot to swallow. You're given so little indication of what was the motivation of the event and when it finally revealed, it feels like a joke has been played on the audience. Oooof...

No nudity but there's a lengthy scene with Kate Raison having a shower which is featured below.

Exchange Lifeguards
aka Wet and Wild Summer!

Phillip Avalon strikes again with this silly comedy where Bobby (Christopher Atkins) is gifted a coveted role of an exchange lifeguard because his father Mike McCain (Elliott Gould) is going ahead with building a resort at Mullet Beach in Australia. Really, he's scoping out the beach so that the resort can go ahead. Once he gets to the beach, it turns out that the lifesavers are a ragtag bunch who struggle at the lifesaving championships and are all doing it voluntarily. Led by Mick (Julian McMahon), they are struggling to keep the beach going and local interests are desperate to make the resort happen. Turns out Bobby is a pretty bad lifesaver but he catches the eye of lifeguard Julie (Rebekah Carlton, trying out for Baywatch) and he gets the support of the other lifeguards after he helps them train up for the lifesaving carnival. Meanwhile, it turns out that Mike's wife Donna (Lois Larimore) has been drugging Mike while scheming with ambitious underling Richard (Christopher Pate) to make it look like Mike is not mentally capable to run the company and that they can take it over and build the resort. When he finds out, Mike comes to Australia and decides to build an eco-friendly resort instead. Predictable and lifeless movie, typical of Avalon. At least Atkins tries but has nothing to work with. Gould is in pay cheque mode and gets real silly while McMahon barely registers. There's plenty of silly scenes including one where a dog goes after treats placed down a man's togs which is so distasteful, Thankfully Avalon knows the audience likes seeing hot bodies so at least he delivers on that front.

A fair bit of nudity in the movie featuring Rebekah Carlton, Amanda Newman-Phillips, Vanessa Steele and numerous extras in the gratuitous nude beach scenes.

Flynn
aka My Forgotten Man

Frank Howson/Boulevard Films strikes again (and for the final time). Bio-pic of Australian actor Errol Flynn (Guy Pearce) that focuses mostly on the pre-acting years. Errol is a plucky Tasmanian boy is sent to boarding school in Sydney then kicked out and left to fend for himself. He worms his way into the birthday party for rich girl Penelope (Claudia Karvan) and eventually they become engaged. Then he hears that there's gold in Papua New Guinea so he ditches Penelope, steals her jewellery and sells it to get to PNG where he's completely out-of-his-depth. Errol does find gold but it is stolen from him, so sick of being the victim, Errol gets Klaus (Steven Berkoff) to help him do the robbing. After one heist, they are captured by the natives. Errol can't help himself and has his way with the chief's daughter and when he and Klaus escape the village, Errol shoots dead one of the tribesman, for which he is tried for murder and then jailed before escaping back to Australia. He falls into acting where he's terrible but then impersonates an actor and manages to steal the lead in Mutiny on the Bounty. Bizarre and underdone biopic that shows clear signs of padding and re-shoots. Pearce tries valiantly in an early role, but isn't given much help by the underdone and surprisingly sex-filled (but not the way you'd think) script. And it clearly looks like Flynn's life has been patched up from tidbits of information, some of which are clearly embellished or possibly false. There's also an astonishing amount of ADR exposition going on for a professionally made movie that would look sloppy in a no budget movie let along a multi-million dollar production. It was apparently shot between 1989-1993 with numerous re-shoots and boy does it show. Also why are filmmakers obsessed with Flynn's boring PNG travails and not his incredibly sleazy Hollywood antics.

A number of brief nude scenes in the movie featuring Claudia Karvan (possibly her first nude scene), Nicola Paull, Joy Antonie, Michelle McClatchy, Nikki Cresswell and South African actress Sandi Schultz.

Gross Misconduct

Sleazy thriller where well-liked professor Justin Thorne (Jimmy Smits) comes in contact with one of his students Jennifer (Naomi Watts) who has a major crush on him. This isn't helped when she becomes the babysitter for his and his wife's (Sarah Chadwick) child. Well, Jennifer seduces the professor and they have a brief fling but he breaks it off and she is not happy so much so that Jennifer accuses him of rape. Then there's a big trial where some things come out about the professor including how his wife was one of his students and he is then found guilty. But Jennifer is hiding the real issue she has which is with her father and can she relieve her guilty conscience before Justin is put in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Absolutely silly he says/she says thriller, typical of the dopey sexual politics of the 90s but with an extra layer of sleaze added to make it at least watchable. Gets genuinely silly before a predictable ending.

A fair bit of nudity from Naomi Watts in her first big role and she really goes for it too,

Hammers Over the Anvil

Apparently I watched this movie a couple of years ago but I don't remember a thing about it even the synopses are drawing a blank. I mentioned that's it a strangely forgotten movie starring Russell Crowe and Charlotte Rampling and well even I forgot about it. I remember it was during that stage in his career where Crowe loved being on horses.

Charlotte Rampling shows her bottom and right breast from the side during a sex scene.

The Heartbreak Kid

Coming-of-age drama about the new teacher at the high school Christina (Claudia Karvan) who comes across confident young student Nick (Alex Dimitriades) who has a crush on her which she at first ignores as she's getting married to Dimitri (Steve Bastoni) but his charm eventually overwhelms her and they begin an affair. This causes her to question setting down to the usual Greek/Australian lifestyle and a major upheaval in her life. OK movie that was the break out role for Dimitriades who is excellent in his first ever movie role. Movie was spun off into the successful Heartbreak High TV series (originally starring Dimitriades) which is currently being remade by Netflix.

Claudia Karvan shows her breasts in a couple of scenes.

The Hidden

Low budget filmmaker Nathan Hill's first feature. Horror thriller about Michael (Simon Mosley) whose younger brother is found killed in the sewers in an apparent drug related murder. Having also lost his parents recently, Michael decides to get revenge on the person(s) that killed his brother but keeps running into brick walls until further people are killed in the sewers where it looks like they were killed by a monster that lurks there. He doesn't believe it but he decides to lure the monster out the only way he knows how. Hill's movies are a very acquired taste, even his newer bi-annual efforts but this one is a real low budget baffler. Hill has an amazing ability to make the plot of his movie make little to no sense and it seems it's something that began from the very beginning. I admire his ability to get movies made but they are a trial to watch and The Hidden is a real head-scratcher.

No real nudity in the movie but there's a sex scene featuring an actress I couldn't work out who (another 'benefit' of Hill's incomprehensible writing).

Jack Be Nimble (NZ)

Supernatural thriller where young kids Jack and Dora are forced into adoption and both have disparate home lives. Jack (Alexis Arquette) is horribly treated while Dora is sent to a loving family. After Dora is pushed off a wall by a bully and goes into a coma, she starts hearing voices and is able to talk to people telepathically. Jack makes a machine that can hypnotise people and makes it hypnotise his foster parents into killing themselves. Dora is frustrated by the non-stop voices she hears until she meets Teddy (Bruno Lawrence), who is also telepathic and helps her control the voices then she falls for him. She starts to hear Jack's voice and convinces Teddy to help find him which they do. Dora is rapt Jack is back in her life but Jack is angry at the world and the hand that he has been dealt and he unveils his dark side when they go looking for their biological parents. Also, Jack's foster mother's spirit goes looking for Jack and uses her four daughters to exact revenge on him. After starting as a depressing drama about two kids dealt a bad hand in life, there's a sudden sharp turn into the supernatural horror genre. And this turn makes the movie surprisingly watchable considering how it started. Jack is incredibly angry at life and some of his actions are quite nasty particularly one scene at a diner. Dora is also an interesting character and works well with the angry Jack but the movie doesn't give them the satisfaction of a happy ending that was supposed to happen when they are reunited. A surprising decent genre movie.

Both Sarah Smuts-Kennedy and Celia Nicholson briefly shows their breasts.

Love in Limbo

Odd teen comedy set in Perth in the 1950s about Ken (Craig Adams) who is obsessed with the female form like most teen boys. This concerns his mother (Rhondda Findleton) so she gets him a job at the factory where she works. At work, Ken meets ladykiller salesman Max (Martin Sacks) who takes him, a roguish coworker Barry (Aden Young) and a nerdy supervisor Arthur (Russell Crowe) under his wing, helping them in all things picking up chicks. Ken, Barry and Arthur use their new skills to go on a road trip to a remote brothel so that they can get laid. Very strange movie that is hard-to-describe what genre but is probably best described as a sex comedy. Although isn't really funny and the sex stuff is told in an odd way. Also weird to see both Crowe and Young relegated to supporting roles considering they would be the break-out stars of the 90s, hell they'd already broken out by now. Just a strange movie all round.

A fair bit of brief nudity in the movie from Rhondda Findleton, Paula Forrest and Emily Bott plus other sexy stuff from a number of Perth based actresses,

The Nostradamus Kid

Let's not leave Bob Ellis out when it comes to sleazy. Drama set in the 50s about Ken (Noah Taylor) who is a part of a Seventh Day Adventist religious sect who just happens to contradict with him being a horny teen. And he's set his sight on the pastor's daughter Esther (Alice Garner), but the end of the world has being predicted and he has to bed Esther before that happens. Years later, Ken goes to Sydney and meets Jennie (Miranda Otto) and begins a relationship with her just as a new end-of-the-world panic begins. Sigh, Bob Ellis was one of Australia's horniest writers and this movie does nothing to dispel that. It's all a bit silly and overlong at nearly 2 hours.

Quite a bit of nudity from Miranda Otto, a nip slip from Alice Garner while Loene Carmen shows her breasts although she has tassels over her nipples. There's also some brief nudity from an unknown woman.

The Piano (Aus/NZ)

Jane Campion's big break-out movie, a romantic drama about mute woman Ada McGrath (Holly Hunter), who has come to New Zealand with her daughter Flora (Anna Paquin) for an arranged marriage with wealthy landowner Alisdair Stewart (Sam Neill). She also brings along her most prized possession, a piano. The piano has to be left at the beach because it cannot be carried back to the house and this puts Ada offside with Alisdair right from the start. Sensing the problem, Alisdair's head worker George (Harvey Keitel), decides to get the piano and put it in his house and offers a peaceful resolution by saying that she can use the piano at his place in exchange for teaching him how to play. Except George isn't interested in playing the piano, he's much more interested in Ada. After some reluctance, they finally fall for each other and have a torrid affair. But it cools when Alisdair finds out, so much so that George sends the piano up to Alisdair's house. Alisdair and Ada make a go at their marriage but the spark isn't there. It still flickers between Ada and George but Alisdair will do anything to stay with Ada. Excellent period drama from Campion who really brought the juice with this movie. I'm not usually a fan of period romance but this has a real kick to it helped by some great performances from Hunter, Neill, Keitel and Paquin. A real stunner and probably Campion's best movie.

A fair bit of nudity from Holly Hunter in a few scenes.

Reckless Kelly

Yahoo Serious took over 5 years to basically re-imagine Young Einstein for an American audience and doesn't quite recapture the magic of the original. Notorious bank robber Ned Kelly (Yahoo Serious) lives in the Glenrowan Hotel with his family of oddballs and occasionally he comes to the city to rob a bank to give the money to those who need it. Well, banker Sir John (Hugo Weaving) has had enough so he decides to buy up Ned's hotel so he can make the Kelly Gang homeless and turn it into a resort. With the cops keeping a keen eye out for Ned, he decides to go to America to rob banks and finds that no one has cash anymore but he meets struggling movie producer Sam (John Pinette) and his mother (Kathleen Freeman) who decide to make a movie about him. Ned gets them to cast an actress he met during a robbery in Australia and then again on the plane over Robin Banks (Melora Hardin) and they fall for one another while making the movie. But the spectre of Sir John and his want for the hotel hangs over him and Ned must make one last desperate effort to stop him. Young Einstein was lightning in a bottle that Serious couldn't recreate and it shows. The movie doesn't even cross 80 minutes and feels like a lot has been cut out and the revisionist history works when it focuses on Australia but feels silly once the movie comes to Hollywood. The movie is not without it's charm but the magic is evaporating fast.

No nudity in the movie but there's some sexy scenes featuring American actresses Melora Hardin and Theresa Bell.

Say a Little Prayer

Family drama based on the book by one of Australia's favourite authors (particular for young girls) Robyn Klein. A lonely young boy Seymour (Sudi de Winter) forms a friendship with his older bleach-blonde neighbour Angie (Fiona Ruttelle) and things are going fine until it turns out she's a heroin addict and when she overdoses, their friendship becomes strained. But Seymour continues to see her through rose-coloured glasses even when she becomes pregnant to her abusive boyfriend. Did I say it's a family drama..?

The only real nudity in the movie comes in the form of brief side-boob from Fiona Ruttelle as she enters the shower.

Touch Me

Paul Cox was given the task to write and direct one of the first Erotic Tales and delivered his usual arty short movie that has plenty of nudity. Art teacher Sarah (Gosia Dobrowolska) invites her model Christine (Claudia Karvan) to a weekend getaway on a farm where they escape their city lives and enjoy each other's company in more ways than one. Not much to it, the story's pretty boring but typical of Cox's output with most of his usual cast featuring plus a cameo from critic David Stratton.

There's extensive nudity for a 30 minute movie from both Claudia Karvan and Gosia Dobrowolska.

Wide Sargasso Sea

Erotic drama from John Duigan set in Jamaica about the part French, part English Antoinette (Karina Lombard), who is deigned to marry Englishman Edward Rochester (Nathaniel Parker) or lose the house she inherited from her parents. Rochester is reluctant to come to Jamaica but he is penniless so he comes to meet Antoinette and struggles in the new environs. Rochester then meets an opportunistic native named Daniel Cosway (Ben Thomas) who says Antoinette has been lying about her past. Then he receives a letter from home that tells him his brother is dead and the family fortune is his. Rochester becomes restless and then abusive towards Antoinette as he is been kept away from his fortune because of his marriage. Based on a novel that was a 'prequel' to Jane Eyre, Wide Sargasso Sea is not a bad little movie, very sultry and erotic, but when things go bad, they really go bad. It is a very cynical look at a bad relationship that is forced upon its participants and both leads are quite good with some good support from the actors playing the house help.

Extensive nudity from international actresses Karina Lombard and Rowena King.

As always there's a bunch of movies that have nothing to cap in them including overdubbed comedy Hercules Returns, comedy This Won't Hurt a Bit, true life hostage drama Shotgun Wedding, a comedy starring Phil Collins Frauds, arty drama Broken Highway, another Murray Fahey directed movie Get Away, Get Away, Russell Crowe on horses again The Silver Brumby, drama Open City, courtroom drama telemovie Joh's Jury, psycho car chase thriller Deadly Chase, Indigenous dramas Bedevil and Blackfellas and kids movies Clowning Around 2 and You and Me and Uncle Bob. There's also nothing in the New Zealand war drama Absent Without Leave.

I was unable to find a copy of The Refracting Glasses and New Zealand movie Bread and Roses.

1994 looks like havnig a similar output to 1993 but may spill over into two updates.
