Update for 25 November...
Just getting rid of some recent stuff before the next week of Australian updates.
Sex and Death 101 has only been released in Russia (although it opens in Australian cinemas on December 6, I think), so it's nice to get a copy before it's released. Basically, it's about a man who is about to get married who receives a list of the 29 women he's had sex with. But, the list continues with up to 101 women, which he hasn't had sex with, yet. So, he does what all men would (finally, movie men are usually moral wusses), he dumps his fiance and finds out if this list is true. Meanwhile, a woman nicknamed Death Nell is running rampant, putting chauvinistic men into comas. This film isn't too bad, has a few funny moments, like the scene where he tries to avoid having sex, only to be used by a group of catholic school girls to collectively lose their virginity.
And yes, I know, Sophie Monk's scenes are not in this update. She begins the Australian update TOMORROW. And yes, she's naked, very naked.
Romulus, My Father is one depressing Australian film about a boy growing up with a depressive mother who's mental instability affects her husband and his brothers as well. It's a pretty good film with an excellent cast for an Australian film including Eric Bana, Franka Potente and Marton Csokas. And the kid is excellent also.
Well, Emmanuelle Chriqui's movie career is dwindling if Deceit is the best she can get. Deceit is a by-the-numbers thriller, that probably should be an erotic thriller, but it ain't erotic and it's not much of a thriller. Yawn... Dark Corners is an underrated horror film about a woman who everytimes she goes to sleep she wakes up as a different woman. In one world, she is stalked by a group of creeps and in the other, she is planning to have a baby, but you know both worlds are going to collide. Interesting, but not easy to work out, and Thora's looking good as both raven haired and a blonde.
And then there's the terrible The Sin Eater, with the same leads and director as A Knight's Tale, but the plot is so dodgy. Religious themed horror films are always a tough sell, but this one is just bad. Capped this from the new 7HD channel, which has smartened up it's act since my bashing a few weeks back. I like to think I had something to do with it :P (I couldn't resist). There's still showing movies from the bottom of the shelf, but as you will see from the caps, the quality of the image has at least improved.
And now an update on the site I'm plugging Celeb VIP. It now has $1 trials. Check out the massive amount of content and decide for yourself if it's worth joining. It is updated daily with plenty of new stuff. Also, the monthly prices are down. So there's no reason not to go take a look. I recommend it.

Dream of Californication (in HD)
Jesus, another promise kept. Something is very, very wrong.
A couple of weeks back I promised a big HD update and here it is, the entire first series of Californication in HD. In all there are 48 collages to choose from and 30 videos.
Capping television shows are a bitch. There, I said it. It just never ends and if you get behind on a episode, the workload just piles up. So, less than one week after the final episode played here in Australia, I got it done. Phew! Also, I'm sorry about the godawful watermark on the caps and videos, I tried really hard to get rid of it on the caps, but sometimes it was just bloody impossible. Ah well.
After the first episode of the show, which was just a non-stop tit fest, the nudity slowed down, well pretty much stopped, but a quality series emerged. Yes, once all the controversy died down about the series perverting the morals of all us good people, it turned into a series that commented on modern apathy and the idea of family and it's answers were, well, far more damning than the first episode let on. But hey, when you're easily outraged, you seem to miss the point quite easily. Whatever... (wait, now I'm been apathetic...)
Just a few points about this update. Firstly, one scene was cut when shown on Australian TV, and yes, it was the squirting scene, but not necessarily for the reason you are thinking. Most of what was cut from the scene (in which 41 seconds was cut) was when then act of cunnilingus was shown, but there's no problem when she is performing fellatio? (I'm starting to sound proper here, it's embarrassing). But hey, I'm surprised the first episode went through uncut, so you can't win them all. Anyway, I've included the cut version in HD and the uncut version in normal video. I've seen this scene that many times now, that I'm just sick of it, but I won't stop from you enjoying it.
One more point, the scene with Paula Marshall looks like she has had her nipples drawn on in post-production, they look very weird, but make of it what you will, but it is disappointing if this is the way things are going.
There's also a preview section, just like in the Johnny Moronic TV.
Here it is: Californication series 1

Update for 7 November....
Well, I'm still capping. The last 3 months have been well, distracting, hence the complete lack of updates. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to just slip in and out again. Oh no, I have a number of series lined up that will be featured here in the next week. That right, this week. There are at least 10 series, at least 10! This includes all of those featured in the coming soon section. So, for the next week, you don't have to come to my site, see that I've done nothing and curse me for being a lazy bastard.
Alright, news... Um, I planning a massive HDTV update in the coming weeks, probably before the end of the month. It's already 3/4 done, so once I get the final caps, I'll have it up at the site, with lots of HQ video to complement it.
Secondly, I'm planning more TV stuff, which is a bitch to cap usually, but it is heavily requested. Caps from Australian series Fire are coming soon, and as soon as I can find a copy of Dangerous, apparently out on DVD, but nowhere to be found in store, I'll have more to do.
A TV series is coming to Australian cable TV in December called Satisfaction and well, it is about women that work at a Melbourne brothel and those who have seen it say it has the possibly the most nudity ever seen in an Australian series including full frontal. The cast list is a who's who of Johnny Moronic regulars who have NEVER gotten naked before including Kestie Morassi, Madeleine West, Bojana Novakovic, Peta Sergeant, Diana Glenn etc. Now for the bad news. I don't have cable, it costs too much and Satisfaction is only playing on the new channel which is a part of the most expensive package. I can always hope for torrents and they are usually reliable, but of course it will have all the watermark shit and will be small, possibly to small for capping purposes, although... (see below for further info :P )
Australia is heading towards a new age of HD multi-channelling. Enough of the bullshit marketing talk, Channel 7 hurriedly pushed their HD channel out, which is basically running the movies they have that won't get a wide audience. Basically, it's to say that they were first with multi-channelling, bugger the fact that it looks rushed, still has problems with it's some picture encoding, is not in true 5.1 Dolby Digital audio, the watermark is big mess and comes and goes when the main channel goes to ads, is only running after 10:30 or at midday on weekends and forces shows that were already in HD to be only shown in normal digital. Maybe they will show something cappable, but fuck me it's horribly rushed and my cynical side is running overtime... Channel 10 have been advertising their HD channel, but have seemed to be taking the sensible approach of testing. Channel 9 have said it will start there's in November (oh, wait, it's November, and nothing has seemed to have happened), but who knows, they are such a mess at the moment, I mean, the Viva Laughlin debacle, the massive amount of rubbish reality and infotainment programs, I don't hold high hope for their multi-channelling debut (although their HD quality seems to be the best). So, look out for some stuff off these channels (but my cynical senses are tingling...)
I'm about to unleash a new feature to the site which I hope will become a major part of Johnny Moronic Capturing. Basically, it will be where I feature videos in a sort of preview format, so you can see my videos in full before you can download them, so if you don't like it, you don't have to download it. It should be up during the next couple of weeks. Also, as I was saying above, it would be where I feature videos from the series, Satisfaction.

Usually I wouldn't cap French movies as there are plenty of great French cappers around, who seem to cover the French language films pretty well, but I couldn't resist this film. Why you say, well because the star of the film, Olga Kurylenko, is the lead female in the upcoming Hitman film. L'Annulaire is a hard film to describe, something about a man who perserves precious items for people and his relationship with his new help, played by Olga. Well, she is absolutely gorgeous here, but sadly, from what I've seen of Hitman, she all dolled up to be flashy and just looks uninteresting (yeah, I know the game, but who cares). This is how I want to see her in the future, damn it! :D

Today, I begin with the remake to the 70s Brian de Palma film, Sisters. The original is actually a pretty decent film from a time when de Palma was still trying to find his feet as a filmmaker. The remake has its moments as well, with an interesting cast (Chloe Sevigny, Stephen Rea) and some surprisingly shocking moments (the ending is pretty creepy). Also, it introduces to the English speaking movie world Lou Doillon, who is well, quite stunning. Well, she is the daughter of the 60s icon, Jane Birkin, so there's head start already.
The rest is pretty much a mini Australian update, first up being Court of Lonely Royals, an extremely low budget film set in Melbourne about a bunch of young people who are bored, disaffected and to make money, they perform 'hits' for the police. As you can see from the caps, it's extremely flashy, so it's was not easy to cap, but the film is OK, if you can find it. And I like Samantha Noble (in the upcoming Gabriel, which looks alright) and Ayse Tezel is one to look out for.
Finally, is Victoria Thaine in her extremely brief role in Son of Mask, hell, I think the video captures all of it. I got to be honest, I did not watch this film fully and what I did watch was absolutely horrible, but I've seen some stills of Victoria from the film, so I thought, hey I'm a completist, let's just cap this scene from the film and walk. So, here it is. Victoria is currently starring in the Sunday night ABC drama, Rain Shadow, which is pretty watchable, much more so than it's peer, McLeod's Daughters. She is fast becoming a name on the Australian scene as well.

The updates keep coming, and there are at least a couple more planned in the next few days.
In case you haven't realised, I really, really, really like Penelope Cruz. Have since I saw Jamon Jamon all those years ago. This is now my 11th series featuring her apparently (I think only Rose Byrne and Miranda Otto have more... and I'm planning another one with Rose for the near future...). In The Good Night, Penelope plays the woman of the dreams of Martin Freeman, who decides that his dreams are much better than his reality. But, when he meets the woman of his dreams in reality he hopes that both his dreams and reality can be melded together. Interesting enough film made by Gwyneth Paltrow's brother, but seems to have slipped under the guard of bigger films.
Then there is the rarely seen Jordana Brewster (particularly after The Fast and the Furious), so here she is in a film called Nearing Grace. And finally another fave of mine, Romola Garai in the film Angel. Romola plays a turn of the century writer who has many troubles during her time at the top. I usually like Francois Ozon films, but this one didn't do much for me, except for a some nice see-through action from Romola. If you want to see it in Australian cinemas, it comes out on the 22nd of November (so, how did I get a copy...).

So, after 2 months I have finally gotten around to do some caps that I have advertised in the coming soon section. About time...
Van Wilder 2 is a completely unnecessary sequel, hell, you would think that they would try to get some laughs in it, but nope, no laughs. And why is it called Van Wilder if he doesn't appear? Well, at least the girls are hot. Lauren Cohan is currently in the new series of Supernatural, not that I watch it, but I caught a bit and saw her there. And Holly Davidson doesn't show her breasts in the film, it's clearly a body double, stop asking, please...
I-See-You.com seems to be a bit late in the reality TV/internet webcam genre, hence all the jokes have already been done and it has nothing to add to this premise. And then it stiffs us on the nudity. Isn't that the only reason people go to webcam sites anyway?

What can I say about Transformers that hasn't already been said? Not much, but it's a fun film with excellent action sequences, but embarrassingly bad plot development and dialogue. Hey, it's a Michael Bay film...
And Megan Fox, well, is quite the eye candy for this film, something to distract you from the bad inbetween stuff. And if you don't like her tattoos, they have magically disappeared in the film. Hollywood is so white bread.
