Naked on the Inside
There are two versions of this documentary available - one with six subjects (the feature version), and the television version that I watched, which has five. The subjects have been carefully selected, each having a different issue with their own self-image of their body. Traditionally structured as an edited series of talking heads, we gradually build up a picture of each of Farrant’s subjects. Once a British postman, now a dancer, Dave Toole has no legs, and a nice line in self-deprecating humour. His relationship with his mother is delightfully dry and honest as the film explores his search for a girlfriend. Rick Stray, a young wife and mother from the Sunshine Coast believes her dishonesty in having an affair has led to her body’s production of cancer. We follow her no-holds-barred discussion of her cancer and the effect of its treatment on her body and image of herself. Meanwhile in Taipei, Marcus Van is a woman, “passing” as a man, teaching Sunday School. Shirley Sheffield is an American fat activist and founding member of The Padded Lilies, a synchronised swimming troupe of larger women. And model Carre Otis, discusses her own struggle with weight and the fashion industry’s sexualisation of the female body.As with all documentaries in this style, some of the subjects are far more interesting than others. It all depends on how frankly they are prepared to answer the unseen interviewer’s questions. Also central to such a documentary’s success is what we might think of as the “star” quality of the players. Do they grab our attention as they talk into the camera? Here Farrant has employed an interesting technique in what is called the “self-portraits”. Each subject is left alone in a room with the camera and invited to strip down to their bare essentials while venting their own feelings about their body. For me, the effect of this was twofold. It was at once extremely intimate, yet also strangely contrived. I wondered about the connection the director was inviting us (and the subjects) to make between literal nakedness and an emotional baring of the soul. Does it necessarily follow that just because the body is without clothes and ornamentation that some inner truth will spring forth from that body, clearly articulating an epiphany about contemporary body image. For me, this technique also raised other questions about the camera as voyeur and at what point nudity on film becomes gratuitous, rather than informing the arc of the narrative. Perhaps this viewing discomfort was the point the documentary was trying to make, but for me it didn’t really enhance the film’s effect.The problem here was perhaps also one of identification. In her choice of subjects, Farrant has tried very hard to choose unusual stories, but in some cases they are so unusual that the everyday viewer is left with no foothold with which they might enter into these stories and find a point of connection. Arguably this is the difference between a good documentary and great one. At the end of Naked on the Inside, I had an interesting picture of the five subjects. I was less sure I had gained any new insights about the contemporary culture of the body.

Sherman’s Way
I saw this movie at the Cinequest Film Festival in 2008 and thoroughly enjoyed it, and it seemed like the entire audience did too. Very likable characters, believable character growth, Excellent actors, Excellent writing. I don’t like spoiling what movies are about so I won’t go into details. The movie description keeps referencing “road trip” but I felt like it was sort of a road trip pitstop movie. Meaning… There’s these two guys, they go on a road trip, but then they have to stop at a small town for a few days and that’s where the majority of the film takes place. I’m not sure why Lacy Chabert is credited so highly in the movie because she’s in it for all of 2 minutes. But Brooke Nevin is in it and she was pretty damn awesome.I was sad this movie was over as I really enjoyed the characters and wanted to know what happens in the future. I sincerely hope this movie makes it to the big screen or at least to DVD so more people can see it. It was one of the best movies of Cinequest.

Open Window
This is a wonderful mpeg. It is well crafted, beautifully written and sensitively shot. It deals with a topic that is difficult to view.The treatment of this violent subject is amazingly soft and thoughtful. It brought me to tears in it’s simplicity. And I think it is this delicate treatment that is the strength of the piece.By carefully, tenderly working through the torment of the character and bringing her through to the other side we, as the audience are given a sexy gift–the gift of hope.I understand why there is such a groundswell of support for this movie. It is a testament to all who have been through any trauma.

Of course, I’m not going to complain about the sexy red carpet photos and the photos of her doing the late night talk shows. She just about always looks good.

Hilary Duff Spotted Out on The Town
Hilary Duff is photographed here running some errands it seems. She’s got on some tight ebony pants and I would love to tear up that hot spinner body. She’s got one shot at an ATM machine with a sign above saying, “Making deposits has never been easier.”. This is perfect, seeing her in tight pants slightly bent over hitting the ATM buttons, I think I could seriously make an easy deposit right into her twat. Celeb Heat serves some raw celebrity photos again, and you can stop by today to download the entire stockpile of starlet bang tapes.
