9 songs 2004,  Unrated)
9 songs
Lots of explicit sex scenes, very graphic and real at that, (for example, ever seen an ejaculation in an 18-rated film before?), 9 rock songs (didn't count but I assume that's what the title meant), and a few stunning shots from the Antarctic. However much the sex and concerts tell us about the couples relationship, there is a definite lack of dialog and storyline in this film, which in my mind lets it down.

The Notorious Bettie Page 2005,  R)
The Notorious Bettie Page
Gretchen Mol looks uncannily like Bettie Page - she has the same 'innocent' look that made Bettie Page into such an icon. This mainly black and white biopic of her life works very well - the late 1950's period feel is really spot on especially during the first half of the movie. Unfortunately during the last half of the movie nothing much happens but that said this still proves to be an interesting watch.

Was she as naive and innocent as she was made out to be? A country girl who was possibly taken advantage of - it's quite a sad tale in it's own way. But I still find it a little difficult to believe that she didn't understand how the bondage/spanking imagery was being used - to her apparently it was just dressing up and posing. BDSM/Fetish-wise of course it's not possible to stress just how important Bettie Page became. Beautiful to look at it may be, but regrettably this film barely scratches the surface of its fascinating subject matter. Worth a look if you're into the 50s icon scene.
