Topic: Jimmy's XXX Movies review

[Achim]

I think the industry can relax already. Viewing numbers should go up in the next few days, maybe with a spike in the first few days

Missed my review

Haven't watch a single adult movie in a month, not even a little nudie cutie, didn't want to shock my mother while I was there

Wait for a big september month, since october will be a slow adult month because of the horror marathon (if I want to break my last year number). But don't worry I have some xxx horror movies also

MOVIE / DVD INFO:

Title: A Woman's Torment (1977)

Genre: Crime Story
Director: Roberta Findlay
Rating: XXX
Length: 1h25
Video: Full Frame
Audio: English
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Tara Chung
Jennifer Jordan
Jake Teague
Jeffrey Hurst
Marlene Willoughby

Plot:
A mentally deranged young woman starts hallucinating, gets involved in lesbianism and murder.

My Thoughts:

This one had a pretty good cast who appears most of the time in little part with the exception of Jennifer Jordan and Marlene Willoughby (the two actresses are curiously completly waste and underuse in this film). The cast credit includes also Crystal Sync (without her usual ugly wig) and Clea Carson (one of my favorite). Tara Chung who plays Karen, the title character, had done a pretty good job at looking insane (even if she overact by moment). The film had its share of blood and graphic killing for the fans of this.... But even with the good cast and the unusual subject this film haven't succeed to keep me interested, maybe it's the bad musical score or the fact that this subject was treated many time in mainstream film but I see this film as a weak Roberta Findlay effort.

MOVIE / DVD INFO:

Title: The Summer of Suzanne (1976)

Genre: Teen gone bad
Director: Shaun Costello
Rating: XXX
Length: 1h00
Video: Full Frame
Audio: English
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Clea Carson
Peter Andrews
Shaun Costello
Jenny Baxter
Ron Dorfman

Plot:
As mom and dad are off on their second honeymoon to New York, virginal Suzanne is pressured into going all the way with her boyfriend Roger.

My Thoughts:

You can't go wrong when you choose a Shaun Costello's production and it's again the case here. Sure it's a quickie made with no real budget, but you feel that it was a good time for the cast as usual on his set. Like many production of this period no credits are present so I've to trust my visual memory for the cast and I haven't the slightest idea of who play the character of Suzanne (not that it's really a bad thing since she can't really act) or her mother who looks younger than her by the way. The only other actor that I was able to recognized is Alan Marlowe (who is the husband of Barbara Bourbon in The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann) and I'm almost certain that Ron Dorfman is the masked man in the final orgy scene (he is a cinematographer who had worked on some b-movie like Career Bed, Bloodsucking Freaks and Night of the Zombies). Of course none of the actors look like the teenagers they are supposed to be (Clea Carson look the youngest and she was in her young twenties). The story is certainly predictable, but you get many funny interludes with the mother and father (Ron Dorfman) while they are on their honeymoon. The acting isn't particullary good since only Jenny Baxter and Clea Carson try to act (at least they know their lines). But honestly I couldn't care less about the weak acting or the predictable story when a movie had an awesome threesome with Clea Carson

MOVIE / DVD INFO:

Title: Babyface (1977)

Genre: Comedy
Director: Alex de Renzy
Rating: XXX
Length: 1h45
Video: Full Frame
Audio: English
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Dan Roberts
Angela Haze
Amber Hunt
Paul Thomas
Joey Silvera

Plot:
Big, lumbering Dan Roberts stars as the hapless construction worker who has to go into hiding following his seduction of underage but willing Priscilla (Lyn ‘Cuddles’ Malone) which incurs the wrath of her religious fanatic of a man. After near-fatal accident leaves him unconsciously drifting in the bay, he is saved by fan favorites Amber Hunt (FIONA ON FIRE) and Linda Wong (SWEET CAKES) who clean him up and then some. Hunt comes up with the brilliant idea of taking him to the Training Camp, a brothel catering exclusively for rich women and run by her aunt, affectionately referred to as the Champ.

My Thoughts:

Probably one the best movie with Pretty Peaches directed by Alex de Renzy. The story of this one isn't too complicated, but it's just another proof that the seventies was a great time. A great cast who know how to act (with some exceptions) and look good and real. Even if the marketing of this film use Lyn Malone (her first and only role) she isn't really the star of it (she appears for one scene at the beginning and the final one), the real star here is Dan Roberts (his only role also) a real tall guy (in all the aspect).


It's easy to understand why it was

As written in the synopsis the action of the film happen at the Training Camp who is in fact a man brothel where the poor guys must pleased costumers like Angela Haze, Amber Hunt, Sandy Pinney, Desiree West and Kristine Heller Talking of Kristine Heller her scene is the highlight of this film, she does it with 9 guys (not impressive now, but it was not common for this period and, to be honest, this is sexy, classy, arousing and tastefully filmed). A real classic who is hard to find complete but a great rewarding viewing.

Like all his movie no credits are present and one of the unknown actress (at least for me) is incredibly gorgeous.

MOVIE / DVD INFO:

Title: Blazing Zippers (1976)

Genre: Western
Director: Boots McCoy
Rating: XXX
Length: 1h02
Video: Full Frame
Audio: English
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Lisa Sue Corey
Anne Beatty
Big John Henderson
John Seeman
Ken Scudder

Plot:
A young woman who lives in the city has recurring dreams of a cowboy who sweeps her off her feet and carries her away. Her psychiatrist advises her to "follow her dream", so she moves to a rural cowtown to find her dream cowboy.

My Thoughts:

Sorry Roger this isn't really a western, but there are some cowboys and a rodeo
Where to start with this? Here we go, some movies had dissapeared for real good reasons and this is one of them. Most of the cast here are complete unknown with the exception of miss Corey (who isn't really a frontliner), John Seeman (uncredited) and Ken Scudder (uncredited also). It doesn't help that the acting is atrocious and everyone used a really bad and annoying Texas accent (except for the Lisa Sue Corey character who is supposed to be from San Francisco). I've mentionned a rodeo in my introduction but don't get your expectations too high, since it's a Chooper Rodeo¹... Only real positive point for this movie, the instrumental country score done by Gerry Kaplan (obviously an alias) is pretty good and not really annoying (I ain't a fan of country music and I've appreciated it).

Nothing special here... At least it's a short one.   

Rating :

1. A Chooper Rodeo is the use of bad stock footages of a cheap rodeo (if you have watched The Chooper from Ray Dennis Steckler, you certainly understand) to fill the running time of a film.

MOVIE / DVD INFO:

Title: Kathy's Graduation Present (1975)

Genre: No real one there
Director: Shaun Costello
Rating: XXX
Length: 0h57
Video: Full Frame
Audio: English
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Annie Sprinkle
Jennifer Jordan
Jamie Gillis
Shaun Costello
Alan Marlowe

My Thoughts:

Another Shaun Costello's quickie and the story for this one isn't really complicated... Kathy (Cedar Houston) receives 500$ from her parent as a graduation gift and her friend Anita (Annie Sprinkle) will organized a party for her with this money with all their friends.... That's it. The story isn't even that important since 90% of this movie is composed of sex scenes (not that anything is wrong with this since most of those scenes are pretty hot). If you are familliar with the Costello's production, you will recognized a lot of his regular actors pool members. Speaking of the cast this is pretty good looking one (ok Leo Lovemore isn't that good looking, he is the caterer) but when your movie cast include Jennifer Jordan, Annie Sprinkle, Cedar Houston, Nikki Hilton (no, not the Paris sister ), Jamie Gillis, Alan Marlowe and Costello himself this isn't a big surprise. Like I've said the sex is pretty hot in this with one threesome (Sprinkle/Gillies and Marlowe), one foursome (Houston/Gillies/Marlowe and Costello) the present for Kathy and an erotic one between Jennifer Jordan and Shaun Costello in the bath.

Not an essential viewing, but certainly not a waste of time.

MOVIE / DVD INFO:

Title: Up'n Coming (1982)

Genre: Musical Drama
Director: Stu Segall
Rating: XXX
Length: 1h26
Video: Full Frame
Audio: English
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Marilyn Chambers
Lisa DeLeeuws
Herschel Savage
Richard Pacheco
Cody Nicole

Plot:
A rising young country/western singer gets a job as the opening act for a a veteran female country star. Soon the young girl is drawing much attention from the audiences and the record companies, and the older star doesn't like it one bit.

My Thoughts:

When the name of Marilyn Chambers appear in a movie you know immediatly that you will watch something classy and well made, of course this is the case also with this one. The funniest thing is that a mainstream movie with a synopsis like that will certainly not interested me one second. So we have here a real movie on the rise to fame of a new country singer (Chambers) and the decline of an old star (DeLeeuws). The acting is pretty good for a movie made in the eighties (but this one was theatrically release), not a surprise in the case of Marilyn Chambers (who sing her own song in the film and her voice is damn good), but in the case of Lisa DeLeeuws that's a surprise (this is probably her best acting performance ever). The rest of the supporting cast does an honest job also and John Lazar who was in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and Supervixens (2 awesome Russ Meyer's movies) had an important role in the film. This was a big budgeted one an it shown in the musical score, the multiple outdoor locations and the wonderfull cinematography of Jack Remy.

Really a great classic too bad that no more movies like this are made

MOVIE / DVD INFO:

Title: The Tiffany Minx (1981)

Genre: Thriller
Director: Roberta Findlay
Rating: XXX
Length: 1h25
Video: Full Frame
Audio: English
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Crystal Sync
Jeffrey Hurst
Marlene Willoughby
Robert Kerman
Jennifer Jordan

My Thoughts:

This one had a really complex story, remember when I've said that I liked my adult film with a good story, so complex in fact that it will took you quite some time to understand what happens and why it's happen. At first the story seems very straightforward and, to be honest, not really interesting, but... This film had more twist in it that The Sixth Sense had and not 1, not 2, but 3 surprise ending. So if you guess the end you are way better than me

The acting from the principal members of the cast is excellent (in fact this is some of the better performances I've seen in an adult movie). The actors stay in characters all the time, even for their sex scenes and this isn't something that happen often. an interesting fact to note : this movie is the last one of Jennifer Jordan who was the best actress to have ever appear in an adult film.

Excellent film, but with a really annoying theme song

MOVIE / DVD INFO:

Title: I Want to Be Bad (1984)

Genre: Drama
Director: Gary Graver
Rating: XXX
Length: 1h22
Video: Full Frame
Audio: English
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Kay Parker
Jon Martin
Paul Thomas
Laurie Smith
Marc Wallice

My Thoughts:

Very weak and unoriginal offerring from Garry Graver, anyway this is the story. Charlie (Jon Martin) after a long mariage cheat more and more often his wife (Kay Parker) with his secretary (Laurie Smith). Of course his wife will discovered this and she will do the same with her husband best friend (Paul Thomas) and the water delivery boy (Marc Wallice) who happens to be a porn actor also on the side. Evidently at the end the couple will fall in love again... Does it sound like tv movie of the week to you? Another weakness of this film is the sex scenes that are short and not really inspired. Really even with the presence of Kay Parker and Tara Aire this film is a borefest.

Rating : (only because I like Kay Parker)

MOVIE / DVD INFO:

Title: Whatever Happened to Miss September? (1973)

Genre: Detective Story
Director: Jerry Denby
Rating: XXX
Length: 1h20
Video: Full Frame
Audio: English
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Tina Russell
Nick Harley
Harding Harrison
Ultramax
Marc Stevens

Plot:
A disabled businessman has spent all his life making money. When he sees the picture of a young girl he falls in love with her and hires a detective to find her for him.

My Thoughts:

As usual when I found a Tina Russel's movie I can't wait to watch it and it skips all my unwatched list of adult movies (more than 300 ). This movie is the first adult film directed by Jerry Denby, two years before his masterpiece : The Big Con aka The Bite. Of course he was not a beginner since he had started his career 10 years before in the New York sexploitation film bussiness (as an actor, director, producer and cinematographer) like many other directors (even some mainstream one). Being a 73 movie it share the same "weakness" than many others films of this time : the impressions of watching a series of loop. Of course this isn't the case since it's a complete film, but the fact to use the flashback to tell the story gives this impression. The story is a good one (even if you can guess easilly what had happen to Barbara Hamilton, but the end isn't the one I was expecting). The acting like in many other films made before Deep Throat (you know already that for me this film is a piece of crap) is excellent. Of course most of the actors of this period were theatre and Broadway performers.

Another good Tina Russel's movie, not as good as The Debauchers but certainly better than The Presidential Peepers.

MOVIE / DVD INFO:

Title: Fantasex (1976)

Genre: Fantasy
Director: Cecil Howard & Roberta Findlay
Rating: XXX
Length: 1h20
Video: Full Frame
Audio: English
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Jeffrey Hurst
Terri Hall
Roger Caine
Jennifer Jordan
Juliet Graham

Plot:
Bernard and Jane (secretly in love with him) are employed by a dirty book publisher, who when not ripping off our hero is knocking off Miss LaVerne, his viscous, beautiful bitch secretary who in turn is dumping her load of work on Bernard.

My Thoughts:

Another good discovery where all the scenes are the fantasy of Bernard Lipshitz (Hurst) who is in reality a pathetic looser (to be polite). He is exploited and insulted by his boss (Caine), his boss secretary (Jordan), his false handicaped mother (Lyndee Mitchell) and his poker friends (Cecil Howard, Bud Green, Roland Reals and Chuck Vincent). But in his fantasy world everything is possible he can humiliated his boss and his secretary, he can become a sex machine and he can kill his mother. Sure you need to appreciate Jeffrey Hurst since he is almost in all the scenes. A very beautifull film who make a good use of some great erotic poetry. Wait untill the end for a very arousing and erotic finale between Jeffrey Hurst and Terri Hall (who gives one of her best acting performance in this film).

This one is specially for Rick and for the other dog lover (BTW the guy in the picture is John Leslie)

I've never seen him on Blue Peter...

Jon I've finally understand the joke, better late than never, the British John Leslie was the animator of a kid show in the UK. Quite a different career
