    "Due to the unsurprising popularity of our “10 Movies Sold on a Sex Scene” list a few weeks back, I’ve decided to unleash a sequel. However, catering to both Spoutblog’s traffic and the interests of ever-abundant sex-attracted internetters is only half my reason for this follow-up list. I was mainly motivated by the outcome of the release of Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona, a film that also initially inspired the first list. While Vicky was partly sold on the promise of a threesome between Scarlett Johansson, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, it is now fortunately being celebrated, and it will likely be remembered, primarily for Cruz’s performance. Not for the threesome or for the lesbian kiss. Other movies sold on a sex scene, though, are not typically so blessed with accolades. And even some that are recognized with high praise at time of release are often later forgotten as anything but fodder for MrSkin and other followers of onscreen sex and nudity. Obviously this means t ... " [More]

    "There apparently are other reasons to see Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona besides the infamous lesbian kiss between Scarlett Johansson and Penélope Cruz or the threesome between these actresses and Javier Bardem. But as the first things most of us heard about the movie, the sex scenes are certainly a big sell (the ménage à trois is even being used in a promotional contest to win a “threesome” with ScarJo). Even if they’re reportedly underwhelming. Promise of tantalizing footage has been an appeal for moviegoers likely since the dawn of cinema, with film pioneer Eadweard Muybridge’s The Human Figure in Motion - Descending Stairs and Turning Around featuring nudity as far back as the 1880s. And if you’ve seen any of the titles included in today’s list, chances are their respective sex scenes were at least part of what made you buy a ticket (or rent the video). [More]

    "For all the vehement hate that Vincent Gallo has been generating among film critics who find him talentless, and hipsters who think him overly pretentious (check your wes anderson collection), I half expected The Brown Bunny to be nothing more than the oft-talked about Chloe/Vincnet blowjob scene.I liked this movie, a lot. A lot, a lot, and I don't see what the hate is all about. Probably, like most similar situations, its been propagated by people who haven't actually seen the movie. Now I'm not saying Gallo has created a masterpiece, but he has certainly made something engaging and worth seeing.Gallo plays Bud Clay, a low level motorcycle racer who is traveling from the east coast back to Los Angeles after a race. Bud is haunted by Daisy, the love of his life, who he shares a house with back home. It's evident from the beginning that something is not right between them as Bud is drawn, over the course of his journey, to several women. Each of whom shares some char ... " [More]

    "By Tricia Olszewski Misery, of course, not only loves company, but also is conveniently portable. That Vincent Gallo understands this much is clear: His much-maligned second feature, The Brown Bunny, takes the dolor of his semiautobiographical first, Buffalo ’66, on the road. Re-edited and shaved of nearly 30 minutes after its disastrous Cannes screening last year, Bunny is, believe it or not, poetic and devastating, its dreamy open highways even more suffocating than the beaten-down streets of the filmmaker’s hometown. Both of Gallo’s projects have been criticized as narcissistic—indeed, The Brown Bunny’s first credit practically screams that it was “written directed edited and produced” by him, and he also stars—but his cinematic alter egos are such sorry wretches, it’s hard to accuse the man of being vain. The Brown Bunny tells the story of Bud Clay (Gallo), a motorcyclist and broken heart who’s driving cross-country ... " [More]

    "The blow job and Cannes scorn made it infamous. But Vincent Gallo has created a much more complex, difficult and devastating film than he's been given credit for by...well, almost anyone. Movies do not HAVE to abide by the usual conventions in order to be worth watching; this film, along with, for example, Gus Van Sant's recent work (see Last Days), is experiential rather than traditionally narrative; the viewer must give himself over to the experience of watching rather than rely on the reassurance of plot points appearing on schedule and explicit characterization. That's the difficult part: it's not at all the kind of film most of us are used to seeing, and hurray for that. In this era of remakes, sequels and CGI - not to mention over-hyped "indie" fare like Little Miss Sunshine - it's exhilarating to see something completely different. " [More]

    "This is a slow paced, dreary and dull film. For almost an hour, I was trying to figure out who this Bud Clay fellow is and why all these women are talking, or lack of, to a complete stranger. Once he gets to his destination, we see the real reason for this film. By that time, it's too late to even care. Vincent Gallo is a poor filmmaker. His previous effort (Buffalo '66) was in the same vein of work. This, however can be considered pornography! With that thought...Who is the first Academy Award nominated actor/actress to perform actual oral sex on screen? The answer to that question is Chloë Sevigny (Best Supporting Actress Nominee for Boys Don't Cry, 1997). And in this film, nothing is left for the imagination. " [More]
