Latest MPAA Ratings:
Flight
Rated R For drug and alcohol abuse, language, sexuality/nudity and an intense action sequence.
Release Date: November 2, 2012* so excited with potential nudity from Nadine Velazquez (in hotel room with Denzel) until I saw the full cast credits : Naked Girl in Helmet (Jennifer Olympia Bentley).
Update with possible good news : There are couple of nude scenes in the movie if I'm correct. The first is when Denzel banging a chick and another involving Ms.Bentley. I'm going with my cock instinct. The bedroom scene will be with 34-years old Nadine. Denzel is playing a pilot and she is an air attendant. Look at the screen-cap. The shape of the waist and skin tone. It's not a black performer or Kelly Reilly who plays a drug addict. I'm pretty sure the cliched pilot banging the pretty stewardess is at play here. The Latinas are safer choice than a white girl in interracial coupling with a black star. Nadine is at that right age factor for first-time nudity on-screen. Making it more possible when you realize this is Nadine first A-list lavishly budgeted movie with bona fide superstar. And when the script demands a love scene Nadine could be going : "I'm going to show my boobs some time in near future. Nothing is more perfect than in a scene with Denzel on a multi-budgeted blockbuster. It's more of pleasure for me than a hassle".
Compare the waist of Nadine and you can see it's exactly the same....
Movies with "sexuality/nudity" :
Red Riding Hood (2003)
The Twisted Sisters (2006)
Cloud Atlas (2012) (topless scenes and one brief sexuality)
Amsterdam Heavy (2011) (couple of topless babes lezzing it up and implied-BJ with one exposed tit)
and worryingly,
The Awakening
* What the fuck is wrong with MPAA? So inconsistent in rating movies. It's all over the place.

Just How Dirty Do Selena Gomez And Vanessa Hudgens Get In Spring Breakers?
Author: Katey Rich
But there's a curdled, dark and sometimes very funny core to Spring Breakers that will stun anyone who walks in expecting to see Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez in their first grown-up roles. The girls are grown-up, alright, but Spring Breakers exists to twist that idea and even parody the whole tradition of spring break movies-- while also encouraging the girls to indulge in all the stereotypical bad behavior. Just how shocking do these Disney Channel starlets get?
Not paying attention in class. Alright, this is a pretty minor infraction, and something Hannah Montana might have been busted for. But when we first meet Hudgens's Candy and Ashley Benson's Brit, they're not only goofing off in class, but writing notes to each other that say "I want penis" and drawing pictures of those penises in question. Like we all did back in college.
Binge drinking. Par for the course in the standard spring break movies and on The Real World, and there's plenty of it here. But truly, you've never seen girls doing beer funnels or letting guys pour it into their mouths until you've seen Harmony Korine film it as if it's a disgusting sex act that's been happening in public all these years with nobody noticing.
Armed robbery. Yeah, here's where things start to get really interesting. In the old days girls might hold a bake sale or even a bikini car wash to raise the cash for a spring break trip. These girls grab very realistic looking squirt guns and a giant mallet and hold up the world's dingiest looking chicken restaurant, then burn the getaway car. Believe it or not, it works. So those of you who saved up your babysitting money to go on spring break? Suckers!!
Cocaine. Again, pretty standard MTV-level behavior, though when the girls sniff it off each others' bodies, they're surely taking it to the next level.
Getting tossed in jail. We never really know why the girls are interrupted in the middle of a beachside rager to be tossed in the pokey, and eventually appear in front of a judge in nothing but their bikinis. There's plenty of reasons to arrest them, sure, but the difference between a spring break to remember and a spring break to carefully avoid mentioning on your resume is the one that involves jail time.
Hooking up with a guy in cornrows who calls himself Alien and who is played by James Franco. The first half of Spring Breakers is a repetitive, almost hypnotic spin on the modern beachside tradition, with lurid shots of the girls drinking jarringly coupled with Selena Gomez's character in voiceover, talking about how "special" this place is. Then halfway through the girls team up with James Franco's Alien-- yet another completely wild and subtly hilarious character from the ever-unpredictable Franco-- and that's where the movie finally gets interesting. And also the kind of thing that would give any parent of tweens an aneurysm.
Judging from responses I've gotten on twitter, a lot of people are wondering if Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez are good in these grown-up roles. It's kind of an irrelevant question, though-- Harmony Korine isn't asking these women to act, but participate in a surreal takedown of the American culture of youthful excess, while also making a surprisingly strong argument for female empowerment for sexuality. If that doesn't appeal to you, there's also Franco's bizarre performance with instant-classic line reading ("Look at my shit!") and a scene in which Hudgens and Benson encourage him to fellate two guns. Gomez doesn't get in on nearly as much of the fun-- she's the token "good girl"-- so she can probably avoid the wrath of the uptight Justin Bieber fans for now. But with dyed blonde hair and a weird relish of her dirtiest lines, Hudgens is clearly running as far as she can from High School Musical-- and she's believable in the role, for what that's worth.
I was bored by the first half of Spring Breakers but weirdly compelled by the second half, not just for how James Franco livened things up but how Korine finally seemed to have something to say about dumb spring break culture, rather than just indulging in it to the point of making it all feel lurid. I still don't really know if I liked it, and I have no idea if you will either, but it's been the surprising hit among critics at TIFF, who made last night's press screening the first capacity crowd I've seen at the festival. I do kind of relish the idea of Gomez and Hudgens's fans checking out the movie based on word that people liked it at a film festival, because it's so against pretty much everything you'd expect from these actresses. But is that kind of surprise a fun challenge, or just torture? Depends on how much surreal and aggressive weirdness you want to see in your spring break.

Unfortunately, no release date for the film has been set yet, so for now, enjoy this little sexy clip.

'Fifty Shades of Grey' film: Emma Watson is in 'if Ryan Gosling plays Christian'
By: Ryan Arciero
While popular names have been thrown about for the female lead in EL James’ “50 Shades”—from Alexis Bledel and Alexandra Daddario to Kristen Stewart and Emilia Clarke—actress Emma Watson may be working her magic for the part of Anastasia Steele in the upcoming “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie. In latest “50 Shades” casting rumors and film news this week, Emma Watson—of the “Harry Potter” movies and more recently, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”—is once again being talked about for EL James’ bestselling erotic novel’s take to the big screen, except this time it’s the actress herself who’s started the interest.
According to an interview with “STV.TV” posted this Monday, Watson said she’s “flattered” about some fans supporting her for the role, and would “certainly want” to be considered for—though there is a catch.
She would only be allegedly “far more interested if Ryan Gosling were to be cast as Christian Grey,” reported fellow friend and co-star Nina Dobrev recently this weekend.
The talented star was previously linked to a possible Anastasia Steele casting role in the past with a July report that she was in talks for the female lead with “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie producers Dana Brunetti and Michael de Luca. But less than a week later, Emma Watson confirmed that these rumors were not true.
Yet now the Hermione Granger actress has stated that she may take on the casting role of innocent Ana if Ryan Gosling of “Drive” were chosen to play the part of every female’s favorite billionaire in the bedroom, Christian Grey.
To reaffirm Nina Dobrev’s statement on Watson’s interest, Ryan Seacrest also tweeted: “@EmWatson told me that she’d be more interested in playing Ana in the ’Fifty Shades of Grey’ movie if Ryan Gosling were to be Christian. #mugglelove.”
And while Emma Watson did admit over the summer that she hadn’t read the bestselling “50 Shades” trilogy of books, that has apparently changed in the interim. “E! Online” reports this week that “The Vampire Diaries” actress Nina Dobrev also told Seacrest in their interview that the star was actually “nervous” while looking over the novels.
“She’s laughing, a bit nervously, as I’m sure everyone was when they first read those books,” said Dobrev before talking promo about “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” “But she’d want to do it if Ryan [Gosling] was going to be Christian. I guess that’s all it takes,” she laughed.
As for Emma’s take on the “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie:
"I haven't fully read the book just yet, so I don't know what I’d be signing myself up for. So I would have to get sent a script I guess. But it always flattering that people are thinking about you for certain casting roles. You are in the mix for things like ’50 Shades’ so it's great."

PIPER PERABO TONES UP FOR NAKEDNESS IN NEW SCI-FI THRILLER 'LOOPER'
Actress Piper Perabo has piped up to the Globe and Mail about the challenges she was faced with for her new role starring in Rian Johnson's time-travel thriller 'Looper' alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt ('Inception') and Bruce Willis ('12 Monkeys'). The 35-year old actress, star of 'Coyote Ugly' and 'Carriers', plays showgirl Suzie in the movie and has revealed that aside from the promise of being able to do a little dancing in her new role she's also been busy working out due to the nudity involved for her character. Paul Dano ('There Will Be Blood'), Jeff Daniels ('The Newsroom') and the beautiful Emily Blunt ('The Adjustment Bureau') all co-star. So in just over two weeks time we'll all be able to go loopy and gaze upon the well toned body of Miss Perabo (below). Head below for the video interview.
"In the futuristic action thriller Looper, time travel will be invented – but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a “looper” – a hired gun, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good… until the day the mob decides to “close the loop,” sending back Joe’s future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination."
'Looper' opens both here in the UK and US on 28 September.

TIFF 2012: Top TIFF moments so far
Jessica Allen picks her favourites
We may not get every A-lister—E-Talk and the other big media outlets eat up red-carpet time—but we make the most of who we get. On Day 1, for example, instead of Joseph Gordon-Levitt at the premiere of Looper, we got Bruce Willis.
On Day 3, at the Silver Linings Playbook premiere, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper walked by, but film director David O. Russell stopped to talk.
No matter what, Maclean’s photographer Kara Dillon manages to capture the elusive stars.
On Day 4, Quartet director Dustin Hoffman and star Maggie Smith lingered to chat since we’d actually seen the film. And Billy Connolly … he was … well, just watch the video.
Our luck didn’t let up. On Day 5, on the carpet of Terrence Malick’s To The Wonder, both leading ladies Rachel McAdams and Olga Kerylanko chatted with Maclean’s. I won’t lie: McAdams, who was raised in the same hometown as me, remembered me from years of serving her in restaurants on Queen Street West, where she was–without exception–amiable, delightful and generous to staff. One time, maybe six years ago, she hugged me good-bye. I haven’t showered since.
I’ve been like a fly on the wall at after-parties of bold-face names — observing some of Hollywood’s biggest players in their natural habitat. (For example, Harvey Weinstein and Dustin Hoffman at the after party held for Quartet. Or the Day 2 parties for Anna Karenina and Spring Breakers, which couldn’t have been more different.)
And if the glam of TIFF parties are not your scene, check out our Outsider’s Guide to the Festival by Sarah Lazarovic.
TIFF 2012 hasn’t all been roses, of course. There have been some real awkward moments. Seeing how there are still five days to go, I’m going to wait to share. Wish me luck on topping a golden one with Anna Karenina star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who I annoyed the hell out of with a red carpet question. We’ve got video to prove it.
In the meantime, here’s a collection of my favourite photos of couples (married, or otherwise) that Kara’s taken at TIFF 2012. Because it’s a heck of a lot easier to navigate TIFF with a little help.

| Way at the end of our first TIFF 2012 red carpet for the premiere of 'Looper' |
It’s Day 7 and the Maclean’s team continues to pound the pavement–along with a few red carpets–in search of the best photos, videos and stories from TIFF.

Sex scenes are too much for actor
Male actor says he can't do porn - nor even fake it for a movie
A part-time Johannesburg actor has applied for leave at the High Court in Pretoria to not participate in a film as he is not comfortable with its sex scenes, The Star newspaper reported on Thursday.
Lushen Naidoo was ordered last month by Judge Ferdi Preller to continue playing his role in the film “And Now?”, with conditions including the film’s producer Natalie Raphil give him the script and shooting schedule.
At the time, Raphil said Naidoo’s withdrawal would cause her and the film’s crew irreparable harm.
Naidoo was in court on Wednesday to appeal the order, stating the sex scenes affected his physical and mental health, with his girlfriend also not happy, according to the newspaper.
Raphil’s advocate asked the court to order Naidoo to comply with the previous order even though the matter was pending appeal.
Judge Preller said that even in Hollywood, actors could not be forced to participate in “pornographic scenes” against their will.
While Raphil’s representative said Naidoo was only required to simulate sex, Preller said after reading the script: “It seems like the real McCoy”.
Preller suggested that Naidoo be written out of the film.
A ruling is expected on Thursday.

A Short Survey of Sexy Contemporary Photographers
Richard Kern made a name for himself with the 1980s New York Cinema of Transgression movement and works like You Killed Me First!, a violent screwed-up family tale starring his transfixing young discovery Lung Leg and Fingered, wherein Lydia Lunch gets… well… He’s since shot erotic projects, celebrities, and endless crops of game New York models, his unmistakable aesthetic that of a very raw, perverse pin-up.
Tokyo’s Nobuyoshi Araki has published more than 450 photo books. Much of his work is erotic and pornographic, combining classic visual culture elements like Japanese rope bondage with skill and some sort of twisted magic. Even his most rapturous scenes of maidens in distress/passion pulse with a precise Araki aesthetic, an aesthetic he’s lent to portraits of Bjork and Gaga. Even his seemingly simplest forms seem so charged, they’re practically fetishistic.
Czech art photographer Jan Saudek has been censored and renowned for his hand-tinted, dreamy erotic tableaux featuring surreal rooms and half-nude models. There are classic elements in his posing of the models, costumed themes, Victorian flourishes, and theatrical interactions, which vary depends on the chemistry of the shoot. You know a shoot has gone particularly well if he jumps in to participate.
A giant, Austrian-German photographer, Helmut Newton put the “Oh” in Vogue, contributing a prolific, charged, mostly black-and-white body of work to fashion photography. Always stylish and slick, if somewhat sterile, his special classy touch was recruited to shoot Playboy pictorials of Nastassia Kinski and others.
Another late great Peter Hujar shot powerful nudes in soft tonal black-and-white, as well as portraits of friend and lover David Wojnarowicz, Divine, and the devastating shot of Warhol Superstar Candy Darling On Her Deathbed, used by Antony and the Johnsons for the cover of I Am A Bird Now. His gallery Mathew Marks refers to the style as “highly emotional yet stripped of excess.” Clean. Open. Sexy.
The ’70s work of Kohei Yoshiyuki is still widely exhibited today. The photographer documented cruising heterosexual and homosexual couples engaging in sex in public parks at night and the crowds of Peeping Toms who stalked, spied, and slowly crawled toward copulating couples. All he needed was an infrared flash bulb and six-month-long reconnaissance mission of befriending the voyeurs to shoot this essay.
San Francisco-based photographer Joan Sinclair labored extensively to gain access into Tokyo’s most exclusive, elaborate sex clubs. Her voyeur-journalistic body of work, especially the Pink Box series, shine a stealthy light onto the culture of the Japanese sex industry. It provides a glimpse into the faces and psyche of the kinds of people who’d enjoy reenacting a groping scenario within a mock train car in a sex club basement. Watch your step.
Self-taught photographer Goodyn Green is inching towards recognition. Her portraits from inside the queer Berlin scene engender each subject with a frank, deadpan sensuality, whether in dance clubs spinning records, or in the woods tangled between tree trunks, or in her kitchen, strutting boy briefs and cooking her eggs, sunny-side up. She’s seems like a charmer.
With a noir aesthetic running through his work, photographer James Graham is drawn toward performance artists more than models, honest scowls over fake smiles. Speaking of his work in TASCHEN’s The New Erotic Photography, he says, ”I consider each photo a single frame from a narrative film, like Cindy Sherman without me as the subject — thankfully — or like Gregory Crewdson without the money — unfortunately.”
Brooklyn and New Orleans-based photographer Clayton Cubitt is a bit of a cult personality, doing away with the line separating the personal from the professional entirely. He’s not an exhibitionist, per se — his only filter is his lens. In his most recent project/Pavlovian stunt Hysterical Literature, friends and industry comrades come to his studio to read passages from books in front of the camera while strategically sitting on a secretively placed pleasure device. Naughty.

Video: Woman molested in her sleep at Internet cafe
A man was nabbed by local police after he molested one of two women who were in their deep sleep and walked away their mobile phone and some cash at an internet cafe in Jinjiang city, East China’s Fujian province.
On September 4, two post-90s women stayed over night at a net cafe in Jinjiang. They slept over on their seats after getting tired.
The next morning, at around 8 o’clock when there was nobody around, a man went to the two sleeping women and walked around their seats in a dubious manner. Soon, the man left after taking away a mobile phone that one of women, in white skirt, put on the computer table.
About one hour later, the man came back again to find that the two women were still asleep. Then, he approached to the other woman, and used his hand to touch her breasts and lower part for over ten minutes when she was unconscious. The pervert even walked away over two hundred cash that the woman tucked in her brassiere.
The Internet cafe’s monitoring camera captured the whole course, and reported it to the local police. When the man appeared up again in the same cafe the next day, he was apprehanded.
