Read MoreNaked Attraction is exactly what it advertises.
There were once very simple rules on cable television. Channels like Cinemax would show softcore adult movies at night – maybe you saw boobs, possibly some tush, but that’s about it.

Read MoreThe Grindhouse film that keeps on giving
So there was this film in 2007 – a collaboration between Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, where the two directors would each create a full-length low-budget film that celebrated the classic “grindhouse” films of long ago. They would release the two films – Rodriguez’ “Planet Terror” and Tarantino’s “Death Proof” – as a double feature,…
