Governing Bodies Movie Reviews

The "flowerboy" must have been smoking quite a bit of a certain type of herbal substance.

"Sex without bodies" is not a movie ... it is an audio only recording -- using the DVD video format. As the Amazon documentation notes it is a PCM 2 channel deal, not the 5.1 which "flowerboy" asserts.

I wonder if the "boy" was out there with the Protocols reviews.

Surround sound adds to the sensuous effect of perfect love making. The deep rumble of multiple explosions shakes the whole room. The Soundtrack cums alive in Dolby 5.1 channel sound. Can't wait for the sequel!!!

I cannot recommend this movie more! I am so happy to know that their are such beautiful souls in the world, such as the writer of this tale.
Thank you to the writer and director and the players!!
This has a fabulous cast and incredible score.

This touching movie, set in a fictitious Arizona town, has been officially labeled a "comedy" by the studio. Indeed, Tim Roth's portrayal of the non-committal boyfriend has its grin-grabbing moments: "Ya looking or buying?"

However, this story is much more dramatic than anything comedic. I've seen the movie more than a dozen times and am always drawn to Fonda's loneliness, Roth's apathy, Stoltz's self-assurance, and Cate's empathy.

Coupled with a deeply emotional soundtrack, "Bodies, Rest and Motion" is a MUST HAVE. It's about time (10 years) this movie was sent to DVD!

But, when the studio says that these characters are "hilariously intertwined," don't believe it!

I remember seeing this film at the theatre when it came out and have rented it a few times since. The storyline revolves around the four central character played by;(Phoebe Cates, Bridget Fonda, Tim Roth, Eric Stoltz) and set in the fictitious town of Enfield, Arizona.

Although the plot is relatively simple, the dialogue and scenes move along smartly, and I am a fan of the four actors. The chemistry between Bridget Fonda and Eric Stoltz is seamless, perhaps because they used to be married to each other in real life.
Tim Roth is great as the disgruntled TV salesman, and Phoebe Cates does a superb job playing the sane one of the group...

In my opinion this is one of the great '90's independent films. Ostensibly one of the 'Generation X' movies so popular at the time, "Bodies, Rest And Motion" didn't receive half the attention of the comic ones ("Slackers", "Reality Bites", "Clerks", "Singles") but this is far better. Without much of a plot to speak of, this film concentrates on four characters and the emotional turmoil surrounding their bland existence. While somewhat claustrophobic in scope, this is massive in essence, with each actor bringing their bewildered characters to life expertly. Plus, the photography is truly exquisite and the soundtrack is awesome. I can recommend this movie to anyone interested in cinema as art. Also check out "Ruby In Paradise" and "Gas Food Lodging" for similar top-drawer signposts of '90's indie moviemaking.

This is very simply a collection of shorts. Each short contains a beautiful young Asian lady talking to the camera a little and then getting naked. The nudity is pretty soft-core, as is everything in this genre, but the girls are quite beautiful. If you appreciate Asian feminine beauty, this will surely please you.

There is not a word of English, dubbed or subtitled, but perhaps this is a good thing. It adds to the exoticness of these gorgeous girls. I should add that a few of the girls really don't seem too comfortable with what they are doing, and that is something I can't ignore. One girl in particular looks just plain out of her element and to make things worse, someone behind the scenes is squirting her with a watergun to make her wet. She is clearly uncomfortable with this.

If you fast-forward through that sort of thing, you are sure to be stunned by some truly beautiful young women.

6 attractive japanese centerfolds with about 10 minutes on each. This seems to be a profile but there is no English language component anywhere but I would bet money they're not talking about world affairs. Doesn't matter, they are all beautiful and unusually for these vids, fairly (naturally) voluptuous. Not a PG title, more R in that there are mostly nude shots of these girls, though no extreme close-ups, still full frontal shots. Delightful

I consider this to be one of the best Playboy DVDs, especially since it contains an good long segment with a couple of my favorite ladies, Jacqueline Lovell (AKA Sara St. James) and Kona Carmack.

This video structure is a bit different from the regular Playboy DVD/video release, as it has 7 or 8 video segments, each being 7 or 8 minutes long, in comparison to most Playboy videos having 10 to 12 segments, each being 4 or 5 mintues long.

It is a bit older of a video as it originally came out in 1996, but it remains among my favorites, even in comparison to many of the newest releases.

If you've seen every Playboy video but this one, it's a worthy addition to your collection. If you're just starting your collection, it's a good choice to begin with.

Here you have 4 movies on DVD that look like a copy of a copy of an old vhs tape.
Video and audio quality are not up to par, not to mention the content contained on the DVD's.
Poor "acting" from a few (now) big name stars, with even poorer plots.
The cover to the DVD is the best part of the deal.

This DVD set has almost no extra features (Play and Scene Access only), and seems like they took bad prints of four old movies and simply dumped them onto DVD. There's dust on the frames plus occasional minor film rips, dropped frames and warped sound.

So why 4 stars? The quality is good enough to watch the movies without significant distraction, and the lack of reproduction quality actually kind of adds to the "feel" of watching old campy movies. And most importantly, [money](the price when this was written) for 4 movies on DVD is an absolute [bargain].

Important point: "The Harrad Experiment" included in this set is the full uncensored original version (Rated R, 97 minutes), not the 'edited for TV' version which is all that's available on standalone DVD and VHS today.

There are also a number of well-known actors in these movies, often in roles before they became famous.

Included on this 2 DVD set (each movie is on one side of a DVD):

"Seniors" (1978) with Dennis Quaid and Priscilla Barnes. Four students open a bogus sex clinic for cheap thrills and then are amazed to see it blossom into a profitable business

"Getting Wasted" (1980) with David Caruso. Cadets at a military academy get involved with the 60's drug culture.

"Secrets of Sweet Sixteen" (AKA "Sweet 16" - 1981) with Bo Hopkins, Patrick McNee and Larry Storch. Why are all the boys dying to meet Melissa?

"The Harrad Experiment" (1973) with James Whitmore, Tippy Hedren, Bruno Kirby, Don Johnson (plus if you look, you can find Melanie Griffith, Gregory Harrison, and Fred Willard). At the coed Harrad College the students experience a college policy of sexual freedom.
