Henstridge’s character appeared nude in a 2002 film called Steal, but she used a body double in that film (in fact, two body doubles), for reasons not known to me. She delivered her second baby in September, 2001. That may be part or all of the explanation.
Brazilian romantic dramedy. Original title: Uma Questão de Escolha
Andréia, trapped in abusive relationship with deceitful Pedro, discovers motorcycling. She transforms her life, finding support from free-spirited Michael. Together, they journey through challenges, pursuing an authentic, passionate life.

I realize that the list was theoretically based solely on the number of kills, so it did not include Vasily Zaitsev, but they might have mentioned him, given that he had 225 kills in just in a two-month period at the end of 1942, achieving a rate that approached (but could not equal) the per diem of “The White Death”. You may have heard about Zeitsev from the book Enemy at the Gates, and the film based on that book, which featured Jude Law as Zeitsev.
(Enemy at the Gates is an embellished account of Zeitsev’s service in Stalingrad. Many say that his duel with a German sniper was entirely a fiction created by Soviet propaganda. The fact of that embellishment does not mean that Zeitsev was not accomplished. His real achievements were almost equally impressive.)
Since WW2, the greatest has been Abdorrasul Zarrin, now considered by many to be the greatest sniper in history, with as many as 3,000 kills. An Iranian sniper in the Iran–Iraq War, he had more than 700 confirmed kills during that war alone.
German comedy, aka #Black Sheep – a sequel to a 2006 film by the same auteur.
A full 19 years after his black-and-white episodic film *Black Sheep*, Swiss director Oliver Rihs wants to give it another go. Once again, he mashes up various stories until they slightly intertwine and connect, creating a feature film. He prefaces the 2006 original title with a hashtag and this time switches the camera to color. In doing so, he immediately sets the course for the direction #BlackSheep will take.
He tackles current topics with a vengeance, only to ultimately make fun of them. The comedy deals with the gender debate, climate change, racism, cultural appropriation, and sexual assault.

Also topless in this film: Jule Boewe, who is in her mid-50s. (The younger woman in the clip is Jella Haase.)
This is Darren Aronofsky’s new film, starring Austin Butler. It is a crime thriller in the style of early Guy Richie, filled with dark humor, eccentric characters, outrageous accents and extreme violence. Among the most eccentric performers are Bad Bunny, Liev Schreiber, Vince D’Onofrio, Carol Kane, Griffin Dunne and Matt Smith.
Charlie Huston adapted his own eponymous novel into this screenplay. The main character, washed-up baseball player Hank Thompson, appears in two other Huston books, so there is some franchise potential if this one makes money. (It did not have a very successful run in the USA, despite opening in 3500 theaters, but there’s always Blu-Ray and streaming. The film has some cult potential.)
Metacritic: 65/100
IMDb: 7.3
You wouldn’t think Aronofsky could make a Guy Richie movie, but it’s surprisingly entertaining.
Burned-out ex-baseball player Hank Thompson unexpectedly finds himself embroiled in a dangerous struggle for survival amidst the criminal underbelly of 1990s New York City, forced to navigate a treacherous underworld he never imagined.
