Powder Blue
Sometimes big, important celebrities show up in these movies and everyone wonders, "Why did this happen? I like ____ and thought s/he was doing high-profile movies!" In this case, it was Jessica Biel who landed in a straight-to-DVD film. It wasn't that she was aiming for a smaller project, it's just what happens in Hollywood sometimes! Film studios occasionally decide not to give well-funded movies a chance in box offices—for reasons ranging from poor planning to negative feedback—and that's pretty much what happened with "Powder Blue." It had limited theatrical release in the USA, experienced poor ticket sales and cruel reviews, and was quickly turned into a boatload of DVDs. Jessica Biel blames the internet for the movie's quick DVD release, saying that the leaked stills and clips of her topless scene allowed everyone to gawk, dissect her performance, and move on before the film officially came out.
Maybe this is just our view, but we feel that when you watch this clip (or any of Biel's stripping scenes) you'll notice that there is something inherently straight-to-DVD-ish about the movie. Maybe it's the melodrama, maybe it's the way she pours hot wax on her body, but whatever it is, it feels right.
