American sci-fi, currently streaming on Amazon and Premium YouTube

A heist goes south when a brilliant, principled mercenary with a traumatic history works with an insider to steal a valued commodity from Peredor Corporation called “the sphere”. The C and Earth corporation vying for global dominance seeks to find a solution to an otherworldly technology for a scientist’s project. A financial analyst, who despises his job at the powerful investment firm, Mutual One, is caught in the middle between deadly corporate rivals, financial fraud, and technological espionage, forcing him to run from the most psychopathic military contractor in the world.

Who knew they had power ratings for the degree of psychopathy? Who does the ratings? I wonder if the second-most psychopathic military contractor tries extra hard to take the top spot.

Luckily for me, I was only being hunted by the number five guy. Total pussy.

Say, isn’t Peredor the country where Richard Dreyfuss is the dictator?

Man, the future sure comes with a lot of colored filters. I wonder if the young people alive now will be the last generation to see natural colors.

A new Italian historical drama (“Il falsario”) that dives deep into the world of art, deception, and power.

The film tells the story of Toni Chichiarelli, a man whose love for painting takes an unexpected turn into the dark world of forgery and crime. Toni arrives in Rome with dreams of becoming a true artist. But his rare talent soon draws attention for all the wrong reasons. Instead of fame from galleries and exhibitions, he becomes known for something much riskier, creating fake works that blur the line between art and fraud. As his skills grow, Toni’s influence spreads beyond the art world.

If you believe the film, Toni Chichiarelli was involved in every major headline in Italy in the 1970s, from grandiose heists to the Aldo Moro kidnapping. He worked for himself, the crime families, the extreme right, the extreme left, his friends, the government – anybody who needed a forged painting, forged letters, forged documents. You name it; he’d fake it.

I had never heard of him before I watched this Netflix film, but it appears that just about everything in the film is true except the ending, which I won’t spoil for you.

Wikipedia says:

He was identified as the author of one of the most sensational episodes of misdirection in Italian history, as well as the author of the so-called “robbery of the century” to the detriment of Brink’s Company.

The five trials of the Moro Case have established that it was he who prepared the false communiqué number seven (“The communiqué of the Lago della Duchessa”), pretending that it had been drawn up by the Red Brigades during the 55 days of the kidnapping, but it was never established who commissioned it from him.

His acquaintances ranged from neo-fascist extremism, to leading figures of the Italian underworld, through paramilitary organisations.

On September 28, 1984, he was killed in an ambush near his home in the Talenti district of Rome.

Unfortunately, there is almost no nudity, which is a shame because the story portrays him as an insatiable horndog.

The video also shows Aurora in a nearly transparent shirt.

Talk about somebody who cleans up good! I had no idea she was so beautiful.

I watched this one, then abandoned the project, but Zorg covered it.

There’s no sex, just nudists at a beach battling bad CGI monsters. There’s plenty of nudity in just about every frame, from various unknowns, and they are in good light.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that the movie is every bit as bad as the name implies. It is rated 3.3 at IMDb, and that score is very generous.

Thought you might appreciate this. Underrated erotic film with Joanna Pacula. I up-resd’ it. Not a master. Still looks great.

You can download the video from vimeo. It’s a large file.

One of the 90s Kathleen Kinmont movies is the sleazy, very violent 1991 thriller, The Art of Dying. It was directed by its star, Wings Hauser. It’s about a detective who keeps an eye out for runaways on the street in Los Angeles until a couple of women he was helping are found brutally murdered by a couple of sleazy filmmakers who seem to be wantonly making snuff films. Kathleen has a bigger role in this one as Hauser’s casual lover who only wants him for sex. Stupid movie but there’s plenty of sleaze for those who like that sort of thing. I’ve capped this off of a DVD so the quality is only OK but it’s not that bad, a little interlacing but nothing too distracting.

One more Kathleen Kinmont 90s movie, this time the 1997 Playboy-made erotic thriller The Corporate Ladder. Made by the guy who won two Oscars for Green Book (!), it’s pretty typical stuff from a Playboy movie: sexy girls, a bland male lead, and strange casting – like in-demand actress Taliso Soto, and Ben Cross doing his sleazy routine. Kinmont is really over-the-top in this one as the mentally unstable advertising exec who starts killing to get what she wants. There’s plenty of sex and nudity, although nothing all that explicit.

Johnny Moronic’s clips from The Art of Dying (1991) are here. There is also some nudity from TC Warner.
