The Story of Joanna (1975)
Art or Porn?
When is art considered porn? When is porn considered art? Interesting questions that haven't changed since before Maplethorp's controversial photos were released. This film is a good example of that fine line between art and porn. But, which is it? That is for you to decide.
"Story of Joanna" is a dark vision into obsession, voyeurism and dominance. Terri Hall is Joanna, a lovely woman who seeks love, but enters a dark world of sexual dominance under the spell of Jamie Gills, a man obsessed... Gillis has a dark plan for Joanna, a plan that will change their lives forever... and the ending will leave you in utter shock! This film comes close to being an art film, with solid directing and good performances from Gillis and Hall... A recommended film!
Trinity Brown (1984)
Very good plot-based porn of the 80's!
I haven't seen this film in many years, until recently... I was still impressed at how good it is... The entire cast does a great job... especially Colleen Brennan who plays Trinity Brown, and John Leslie is her partner...
Colleen and John are cops who investigate the murder of a lowlife crime boss, and Joey Silvera is the prime suspect... but did he do it? Well, you'll have to watch the movie and find out...
The film is well done, and could almost pass for a late night movie... except for the sex... The acting is good, and the sex is good as well... The ending is slightly off, but still a good film...
John Leslie is always good in almost everything he's ever done... With roles like this, he could have play a cop or private eye on any TV series or B-movie and done well...
I like this film and recommend it it highly!
Midnight Heat (1983)
Jamie Gillis at his darkest!
I saw this film some 25 years ago on an old VHS copy, and was blown away by the darkness vision of this film... This has to be one of Jamie Gillis finest roles, and his most dark that he has ever done...
The story is of Gillis is a hit-man who hides out in a sleazy hotel after getting caught having sex with the bosses wife... While holed up he has visions of his past and the road to the hell he is at currently... There is also a secondary story of a prostitute that stays with Gills, and she also has visions of her past and her road to this murky dark place...
The film is excellent... the vision is dark, murky and well acted by the cast... The sex is not erotic, but not sleazy either... it is more poetry of the twisted images that play out as the characters continue on a downward spiral into oblivion with perhaps the most disturbing ending you'll ever see in a porn film...
Only one issue... the ending is different than I remember the last time I saw it... It plays out pretty much like I remembered, but I believe that it may have been edited by a few moments which does ruin what was a disturbing ending... The film is still recommended...
If My Mother... Only Knew (1985)
Really good film...
The plot is pretty much simple... Hope (Amber Lynn) lives with her Mom Dianne(Honey Wilder) and has a boyfriend, Reggie (Tom Byron). When Reggie works late, Hope goes out with her best friend, so Reggie asks Dianne to go out on a date instead... They have a few drinks, then go back to motel and have sex... Hope eventually walks in on them at home and gets her revenge... with who and how... you'll have to see to find out!
This film is not bad, it is actually pretty good... The acting is above average from a top notch cast including John Leslie... Amber Lynn gives one of her best performances and Tom Byron and sexy Honey Wilder do a good job as well... The sex in this film is nicely shot, and slightly erotic... not down and dirty and sleazy like 99 percent of todays porn trash... Good acting and a good story help this film along...
I really liked this film and would recommend it highly... Check it out, you'll like it too!
Taboo (1980)
Kay Parker at her best!
This is the film that made Kay Parker the "Mom of Porn", and a legend... This is probably the best film Parker has ever done, and her most well known film... It is also one of the top selling adult films of all time...
The plot is simple as well, Mom and Son end up having a mutual sexual relationship that develop at first as a heat of the moment thing, then turns mutual...
The acting is very good. The sex is hot as hell, especially between Mike Ranger and the delicious Dorthey LeMay...
The only reason I did not give it a 10 is the fact that the orgy scene was overly done, and edited in a repeat mode that was going on way too long... I also felt that the Juliet Anderson sex scenes were unnecessary, and could have been done differently, perhaps involving Mike Ranger... But other than that, an excellent film nonetheless...
Highly recommended!
Hot Pursuit (1983)
Not a bad film...
This films stars Annette Haven as a singer named Shirley, who hires a private eye to find a lost porn film she made years before to save her music career... That is pretty much the plot of the film...
And, it is not a bad film at all... actually pretty funny in some parts... Annette plays her part well, and even sings two songs... The sex is pretty tame by todays standards... Annette has three scenes and two are pretty good... the third was kinda weird, even for her... All in all, a pretty good film with some pretty decent music for a porn film...
I liked it...
