New in theaters this week, it's the feel-good boobies of the year as Helen Hunt makes her full frontal debut as an unusually hands-on sex therapist in The Sessions (2012). That's your only nude option, but in non-nude movie news Olivia Thirlby brings tomboyish sex appeal to her role as a irresistible young filmmaker in Nobody Walks (2012), and while you may come to Alex Cross (2012) to see Tyler Perry demonstrate his range as a homicide detective, you'll stay for sexy lingerie scenes from Stephanie Jacobsen and Rachel Nichols.

Here's some nude news that'll perk up your cockpit: Early reviews of the new movie Flight (2012) SKINdicate that sitcom star Nadine Velazquez (My Name is Earl, The League) makes a full frontal nude debut in the movie.
Denzel Washington stars as a hero pilot whose reputation comes under fire thanks to his drinking, drugging, womanizing ways, a point that director Robert Zemeckis hammers home in an unusual (for him, anyway) turn towards the explicit. Here's what CraveOnline's Fred Topel has to say:
"Besides being edgy for a Hollywood movie, this is really dark for Robert Zemeckis. The movie opens with full frontal nudity (Nadine Velazquez, totally integral to the tone, if not to the plot) while Whip is boozing and snorting before the flight."
HitFix's Drew McWeeny (heh) goes into even more detail:
"[W]hen we first see Denzel in this film, in bed with Nadine Velazquez, finishing a beer for breakfast and doing a rail to wake himself up as she walks around the room totally nude. At one point, he gives a sideways glance right up her backside as he talks on the phone, and there is a world weary quality to the beat that is both funny and immediately crushing."
Maybe you were crushed, Drew, but our McWeeny finds this news positively uplifting.
Stay tuned for a full report on Flight from our Skin Skout later this week, and check our sexy pics and clips of Nadine Velazquez right here at MrSkin.com!
You know how actresses are always talking about how they'd go nude "for the right role"?
Although she admits she was uncomfortable with nudity earlier in her career, for 49-year-old Helen Hunt, The Sessions (2012) was it.
"I'd never heard of a sex surrogate, and I didn't even think about it, frankly — I just thought, I never read a good movie, and this is a good movie," Helen tells New York Magazine's Vulture about her racy role. "She had this enthusiasm and this sense of adventure about sex, and I'd never seen anything like it."
"I could tell [writer-director Ben Lewin] had an interesting take on the whole thing," Helen says about her choice to go full frontal for the first time in her career. "I felt scared to do the part, but I didn't feel scared of [nudity]."
Not that it was easy: "I had to be vulnerable for so long...I loved it and felt liberated by it, but by the twelfth hour, I just wanted to be in my sweatpants, in my zip-up hoodie, socks on my feet, eating an In-N-Out burger in my bed," she says.
So should young actresses take on roles that require nudity? "You gotta pay your rent," Helen says. "You gotta pay your rent, and you have to feel good about your choices, you know what I mean? So wherever you can find the balance between those two things, that's the line you have to draw."
It's been five years since the last time we saw Helen Hunt nude in Then She Found Me (2007), so take a stroll down mammary lane with pics and clips right here at MrSkin.com!

You can see everything from a Romanian abortion drama (Vegetarian Cannibal) to a vulgar Dutch comedy where every other word is "cunt" (New Kids Nitro) at Fantastic Fest, but the bloody, still-beating excised heart of the festival is horror movies.
Last year the horror category didn't really come through for nudity, but this year we saw quite a few titles that mixed screams and skin in equal measure, and you can read all about them after the jump!
It's not a great weekend for movie nudity- unless you live in New York or LA, because then you can get your fill of retro rackage (including an already-notorious full frontal party scene) in P.T. Anderson's epic drama The Master (2012).
As for the rest of us, until The Master goes wide next week we'll just have to tide ourselves over with sexy scenes from French supermodel Laetitia Casta in the Wall Street thriller Arbitrage (2012).

There are two approaches to onscreen nudity. One is the Shannon Elizabeth/Linnea Quigley school, where an actress makes her anatomical assets the center of attention in a series of comedy (or horror) flicks-- and her career. The other is the Kate Winslet/Michelle Williams school, where an actress uses onscreen nudity to prove that she's "serious" about her art and deserves an armload of awards like so.
It's a little late for Helen Hunt to get on the "scream queen" bandwagon, so she's enrolled in the latter school for her new movie The Sessions (formerly known as The Surrogate), where she makes her full frontal debut as a sex therapist with an unusual specialty: personally relieving patients of their virginity.
Nudecomer Annika Marks also goes nude in the film, which is already garnering serious awards buzz for Hunt as well as for John Hawkes as one of her disabled clients. If all else fails, Helen, rest assured: you're an early favorite for an Anatomy Award.

Man, that Jessica Clark. Is she ever NOT full-frontally nude and drenched in fake blood? This week on True Blood, we got to see how Jessica got so sticky in a freaky scene where ripped out a guy's throat with her bare hands and luxuriated in the spray as he exploded in a hail of blood and guts. Hey, at least she was totally nude while she did it.
Also on this week's True Blood, we've got more shape-shifting antics from Janina Gavankar and a notable bra-and-panties scene from Tina Majorino, who you may recognize as Deb from the quirky indie hit Napoleon Dynamite. Heck yeah she did!
