The first trailer for the new Supergirl film is out, and it looks like it might be really good. Milly Alcock is great as Supergirl (we got a sneak peek at her at the end of Superman '25), and I'm looking forward to seeing her in her own adventure. Look out, indeed.
There was once a TV series that aired in the late 1990s called Millennium. It was created and produced by Chris Carter, who also gave us the X-Files.
In the second season opener The Beginning & The End - Part 2, actress Megan Gallagher, who plays the wife of the show's hero, Frank Black, gets abducted by a psycho.
The psycho, known as the Polaroid Man, is played by Doug Hutchison, who also played the really creepy and memorable Eugene Victor Tooms on the X-Files.
You can see Megan's scene right here.
Amazonia (aka White Slave) was a B-movie from the mid-80s that was based on a true story. A woman had been cast off into the Amazon jungleby her enemies to die. But instead of dying, she adapted and became a jungle girl, sort of. The film was disappointing, as there wasn't as much bondage as I would have hoped, and what little bondage the film had wasn't very good.
But the covers for the VHS/DVD boxes were always more satisfying for me, especially this one, which has the barefoot heroine hanging from a pole suspended between two of her captors.
Here's a little more involved picture, under the White Slave name, with her captors carrying her off in a wooden cage. It was often said that some of these old video covers were far better than the movies they advertised. In the case of Amazonia, that's certainly true.
A wealthy heiress wants to show off her new castle that she inherited, only to find there's somebody already living there. Find out what happens to the two women right here.
Note: The picture I used is from Student Services.
Been a while since I've last done this. Here's Selena Gomez, a sometime singer and a great actress (she's very good in Only Murders In The Building) performing sans shoes with her backup singers.
Don't know who this lovely lady is (and judging from the shades, it looks like she wants it that way. She's taking a nice barefoot stroll for herself.
Not sure who this lovely lady is, either. But in this very nice picture, does it really matter?
Abbie Chatfield makes a determined barefoot stride as she delivers some burgers.
Barefoot bike riding is something I've done countless times as a boy. But she looks much better doing it.
Gillian Anderson is out there while riding barefoot on horseback. The truth is right here.
The Baron was a 1960s TV show about an American who's a member of British royalty who drives around England, getting in trouble.
In the opening scene of the episode The Maze, Judith Arthy stars as a young woman who's being held captive in her own home, which happens to be a pretty big mansion. Judith is struggling mightily against her bonds, having been tied to a chair in an attic storage room.
She's also gagged. Knocking over a glass of water that was on the table, Judith uses one of the broken shards to cut her wrists free.
What I love about this escape scene is that it takes a while for Judith to free herself, and it's not an easy task.
Would I have preferred her to be barefoot? Of course, but this is still one of my favorite scenes, just for her intense struggling--and Judith gets recaptured, and re-tied again, which is also on this clip. M Johns did a great job, and you can see it right here.
The New World was directed by Terrence Malick. It dealt with the first arrival of European settlers on the North American continent.
The film dealt with the clash of cultures between the settlers and the indigenous people.
Q'orianka Kilcher played Pocahontas, of the Powhatan people.
And she went barefoot a great deal in the film.
To say that Q'orianka Kilcher was perfectly cast as Pocahontas is putting it mildly. She's fantastic in the role.
The New World is recommended for more than just its BF scenes, though.
It's a very well-done movie that examines the culture shock that both sides receive from their first meeting--which is depicted just like a first contact situation from science fiction, which it really is: a first contact between the old and new worlds.
It's one of Terrence Malick's best films, IMHO.
