A little later than usual, but maybe this week its should be called UK
TV highlights for Saturday night - as that's the best night for
celebrity nudity on our screens! Three movies to be precise and all
very good in their own genres.
Men & Motors, 11pm - Barbarella
Classic sci-fi fantasy adventure with
Jane Fonda. Not necessarily to
everyones taste, so falls into the cult category too. To be honest
also, I'm more a Bridget fan, but Jane, in this film, is one of the
enduring images of sexy sixties cinema. One arousing and funny moment
for both viewer and Jane, in particular, is when she is trapped
receiving a lot of pleasure...
BBC 2, 9.10pm - The English Patient
Not just a well shot war time drama, but well shot nudity of the elegant
Kristin Scott Thomas too.
BBC Three, 9.45pm - High Fidelity
One of my favourite modern day films and an adaptation of the Nick
Hornby book. John Cusack runs a record store and when his latest
relationship crashes with Iben Hjejle (who provides the nudity!) he
goes back over his all-time top five past break ups to examine what
went wrong. Also starring
Catherine Zeta-Jones and
Lisa Bonet, with Tim
Robbins and the very funny Jack Black.
