Fairuza Balk

MrSkin.com is this website that has clips and stuff (but you have to pay) of actresses nude and/or topless, etc. So, Mr Skin's Actress Bio for Fairuza Balk starts off like any normal actress bio, but then it takes a definite hey-naked-actresses-over-here turn. Check it out... "A child actress grown up (and out) in mysteriously sexy ways, Fairuza Balk started her screen career at eleven, starring as Dorothy in Return to Oz (1985). Fairuza means turquoise in Persian, and she gave her fans turquoise balls while playing a loose convent girl in Milos Forman's Valmont (1989). But Fairuza showed her true colors as Shade, the sensitive girl in Gas Food Lodging..."

Sin City

This movie is okay. It's certainly stylish. But isn't it a case of style over substance? It's certainly sick, and overly-violent. Yes, much of the violence is in the sort of less offensive, cartoonish way, but it's still sick. The cast was pretty good, most notably Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke (who is good and pretty unrecognizable), Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Carla Gugino, Alexis Bledel, Marley Shelton, Michael Madsen, Jude Ciccolella.

Meanwhile, Jessica Alba is a killer. Very hot. See photos.
