CHARLIE`S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE reunites Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu as they once again wage battle against some formidable opponents. This time around the three angels are on a mission to track down two stolen rings that contain encrypted information relating to the Witness Protection Program. Naturally the girls kick some serious butt, often facing some familiar villains in the shape of a returning Crispin Glover (as the Thin Man) and Justin Theroux (as Seamus O`Grady), a former beau of Barrymore`s character. To further spice things up, there is an ex-angel, played by a shapely Demi Moore, who is rather keen on getting her hands on the rings, all adding up to lots of thrills and spills for the girls.
Director McG returns from the original movie, this time upping the action ante with a series of spectacular stunts and CGI-assisted tricks. Employing a neverending array of celebrity cameo appearances, McG builds on the momentum of the previous movie and neatly balances the combination of comedy set pieces and action sequences. Cast and crew keep their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks throughout, leading to a not-too-serious romp that is a feast for the eyes.

Jonathan Demme (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) made his directorial debut with this irreverent, politically-charged entry in the 1970s women-in-prison film genre. It stars Roberta Collins, Ella Reid, and Rainbeux Smith as sex-starved inmates who befriend newcomer Jackie (Erica Gavin) at a Connorville women`s prison. Their daily routine involves lots of showering, catfights, and drag performances, interrupted by occasional electro-shock treatments and other corrective therapies courtesy of wheelchair-bound warden McQueen (Euro-horror icon Barbara Steele). Eventually the girls escape, go on a crime spree, and then return to bust out their sisters in a ferocious hail of bullets. Demme delivers all the requisite nudity and perversion but adds a lot more as well, including bizarre dream sequences (McQueen`s CABARET-style bathroom performance is a highlight), feminism, elaborate tracking shots, documentary-style realism, and even some rudimentary character development. CAGED HEAT manages to be in on its own joke while still delivering the payload of gratuitous flesh that fans of this sort of film expect. Former Velvet Underground member John Cale contributes a mournful soundtrack of harmonica and viola. Demme`s wife at the time, Evelyn Purcell, produced the film for Roger Corman`s New World Pictures.
