Code Breakers tells the story of a West Point cheating scandal in 1951 involving numerous high profile players. All of the marketing attempts in the world are not going to change that one universality of their customer base.

The movie in question, Code Breakers, did abysmal ratings and proved yet again that people turn on ESPN to watch sports (and poker if you don't consider that a sport). The cable standard appears dead set upon enhancing its Hollywood profile no matter the number of loyal consumers alienated in the process. Whether it pays dividends or not depends on just how many late night Skinemax fans are willing to pick up an R-rated version of their late night guilty pleasure.įor people who love that ESPN is trying to show fewer sports these days: Code Breakers (2005)Right after Reggie Bush was handed the Heisman Trophy back in December, ESPN cut to.a movie. Since this is the most expensive porno ever made (reported budget in excess of $1.2 million), the unusual marketing angle seems like a financially astute one. Adam & Eve and Digital Playground, the distributors of this title, have cleaned it up enough that it's going to be available for rental at some Blockbusters across the country. In case long time readers of the site are wondering why we are discussing a porn release, this one is a bit different. And in case my family ever reads my column, I want to say that I have *ahem* no idea who any of these actresses are. It stars Janine, Jesse Jane, Carmen Luvana, Teagan Presley, Devon and Ashton Moore. The Black Swan is better.įor people who haven't gotten enough of nekkid Pirates this week: Pirates (2005)And if you want to go an entirely different way with it, there is a Pirates of the Caribbean porno spoof on the market this week. If you want to see the face of movie pirate-dom in the 1940s, Errol Flynn is not the way to go (as the 1930s were his staple). And future Academy Award winner George Sanders is pure evil as the nefarious Captain Billy Leech. The romance between Power and Maureen O'Hara is as smoldering as Hollywood had in its golden era. Tyrone Power is exactly the sort of swashbuckling avenger whom Depp used as an antithesis for his Jack Sparrow.

For those of you who have had never had the opportunity to do so, you should definitely embrace this classic Hollywood staple. That doesn't mean it's not worth a look, though. They were right for a change.įor people who haven't gotten enough of Pirates this week: The Black Swan (1942)The only way this title could be a more blatant attempt to capitalize upon the success of a certain Johnny Depp project would be if it had been re-named The Curse of the Black Swan for this DVD release. In 2006, audiences are resolute about the fact that they have no interest in watching a 48-year-old Catwoman co-star go on a sexual vision quest.

A sequel to Basic Instinct might have made sense in 1995, maybe even 1997. I mean one that would have made everyone in 1977 say, "Gee, what's the big deal about this 8-track-tape player? My Pablo Cruise music doesn't sound particularly good on this." Sure, blaming the recording device for the musical shortcomings of Pablo Cruise is a bit unfair but the point stands. and I don't mean good 8-track tape player, either.
