Dangerous Beauty (1998)

Title: Dangerous Beauty
Released: 1998
Genre: Drama
Runtime: 111 min
Country: USA
Language: English

Tagline: A life without compromise.

Plot Summary: In 16th century Venice, courtesans enjoy unique privileges: dressed richly in red, they read, compose poetry and music, and discuss affairs of state with the men who govern the Republic. When Veronica Franco comes of age, she cannot marry Marco Venier, whom she loves, because she is well born but penniless. Her choice: cloister or courtesan. She steels her heart, and with beauty and intelligence becomes the best. She's a heroine when she helps convince France to aid Venice in war with Turkey, but when plague descends, the Church charges her with witchcraft. At her inquisition, she must match wits with an old rival, speak for all women, and call courage from Venier.

Comments: Beautifully done. This biographical film of the life of famed Courtesan Veronica Franco may take a few historical liberties but essentially it is a beautiful and telling depiction of the times.
The simple storytelling and lack of to many historical contexts actually works in this film's favour, as it prevents the usual pitfall of the period flick - to much location not enough character.
Any audience could understand the language and the situation of the Courtesan even if they knew nothing of the historic, social or economic history of Venice.
One of the few films that depict Courtesans without falling into superficiality (Moulin Rouge) or near pornography (Karma Sutra)

Tailor of Panama, The (2001)

Title: Tailor of Panama, The
Released: 2001
Genre: Comedy / Drama / Thriller
Runtime: 109 min
Country: USA / Ireland
Language: English / Spanish

Tagline: In a place this treacherous, what a good spy needs is a spy of his own.

Plot Summary: John LeCarre's spy thriller is brought to the big screen. A British spy (Pierce Brosnan) is banished to Panama after having an affair with an ambassador's mistress. Once there he makes connection with a local tailor (Geoffrey Rush) with a nefarious past and connections to all of the top political and gangster figures in Panama. The tailor also has a wife (Jamie Lee Curtis), who works for the Panamanian president and a huge debt. The mission is to learn what the President intends to do with the Panama Canal. But what the two do is concoct a tremendous fictional tale about former mercenaries who are ready to topple the current government and are willing to work with Britain and the US to do so.

Comments: This movie rates about a 7/10 or 8/10 for me. It's hilarious to see the REAL James Bond in action.


Scene Description: Catherine McCormack laying on her back and having her great natural breasts bounce as she and Pierce Brosnan have sex.
