Weird Brazilian fantasy film about a near-future dystopia. Original title: Corrida dos Bichos. Pop star Anitta is one of the principals.
IMDb: 4.6
Inspired by the illegal universe of the Brazilian animal lottery, a fearless young man must win a deadly race to save his sister in a dystopian future where each animal in the game is now represented by a runner vying for a prize. In a future version of Rio de Janeiro, a rigid class system has emerged following a major catastrophe. The only thing connecting rich and poor is their shared passion for the Beast Race. Runners wearing animal masks must put up loved ones as collateral and receive remote support from wealthy “players” in the upper class. Only the top two finishers can save their hostages from enslavement.
This has nothing to do with nudity. Just some amazing nostalgia.
From my e-mail:
There was an educational film in the 1950s that was almost feature length. It’s called The Alphabet Conspiracy. It’s technically 54 minutes long, although three of those minutes are the closing credits.
The plot is, a young girl is frustrated with her English homework, especially with trying to figure out all the rules. Then she falls asleep, and dreams that characters from Alice in Wonderland have launched a conspiracy to get rid of English.
Dr. Frank Jackson, an English professor from USC, parleyed a local program about Shakespeare and theater craft into the role of “Dr. Research” on a series of Bell Telephone Hour science programs produced in the 1950’s, with some directed by Frank Capra. This was one of them.
All featured well-known actors of the time like Eddie Albert, Sterling Holloway and Hans Conreid. I believe that Dr. Jackson and Holloway were the inspiration for Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker on the Muppet Show.
The linguistic work of Professor Jackson has continued to this day. Although I have lived in four states (plus NYC, which is different from upstate) and five foreign countries, this quiz was able to identify my home town from my peculiar pronunciations and expressions.
Ontwaak is a new South African mini-series, mostly in the Afrikaans language, although this video is over-dubbed in Russian. It has kind of a “Silence of the Lambs” premise. A psychiatrist must work alongside a serial killer to rescue her daughter from a dangerous cult.
What happens when your worst enemy is the only person who can help you? In Ontwaak, the story revolves around Melissa Human, a psychiatrist who starts working at Noordlig, a home for extremely dangerous patients. But behind the high walls, more than just patients await her. She discovers a sinister cult, Horisonne, that has taken in her daughter, and is led by her ex-fiancé. To save her daughter, Melissa must cross her own boundaries and rely on a brilliant serial killer. However, every answer leads to a new danger; every choice has a price. This is not just a fight against a cult – it’s a fight against the darkest depths of the self.
Horror film from The Asylum, included with Amazon Prime.
After his wife’s consciousness gets transferred into an android, a widower finds himself trapped in a deadly love triangle when the jealous AI goes to terrifying lengths to prevent him from moving on with a new woman.
This is yet another film about the perils of AI-powered androids. There has been a rash of them lately. Last week I looked at Soulm8te (2026), but that’s was just the latest in a string of them. The M3GAN movies, Companion, Personhood, and Subservience come to mind immediately. Since this was made by The Asylum with their usual limited budget, most if not all of those those other movies are better than Housemaid, but this one does have some pretty good nudity from Hailey Mauk.

Margarida Corceiro is a Portuguese model, actress, entrepreneur, and social media influencer. She started modeling at age 10 and transitioned to acting in her teens. Her television debut came in 2019 as Carolina Atalaia in the Portuguese telenovela Prisioneira. She has since appeared in several other Portuguese TV series, including Bem me Quer, Quero É Viver, Morangos com Açúcar, and A Fazenda.
I suppose it’s about halfway between “see-thru” and “pokie.” She has kind of a Phoebe Cates vibe workin’.
Italian bombshell Silvia Caruso just dropped another scorching set with photographer Alexander Mavrin and it is pure fire.
