Stardust (1996) Review

Stardust (1996) Poster 

Today we are going to the 1990s yet again. This time around, we are going to be looking at a movie that spawned a series that goes deep. I’m talking like eleven sequels at this point. That’s not a bad thing, that’s a great thing! I guess. It’s kind of like “The Devil In Miss Jones”, watering down over the course of many years. As far as erotica is concerned, we are going to be venturing to the 1990s today, specifically to 1996. In this year we are going to be looking at the movie, “Stardust”. This movie was directed by Michael Zen, and it was distributed by Vivid Video. The movie stars Alex Sanders, Jon Dough, Jill Kelly, Misty Rain, Jenteal, Missy, Bobby Vitale, Steven St. Croix, and others. There are a few non-sex role actors, but do you really care? I mean, Mike Horner is in here, which is always interesting, and Missy is in it too, but the rest, meh, right? I know, I’m not a great reviewer. But let’s go to the time machine and see what’s up with “Stardust” from 1996.

There’s something that is somewhat calming about seeing the Vivid Video, two people merging logo. It tells you that you’re watching a Vivid Video. It’s classic 1990s logo, and I love it. “You’re Watching a Vivid Feature Presentation”, classic. That’s how you know you’re in for something cool, right? The opening of this film is interesting, it roles the credits with a dancer. There’s a light in the background, and it’s a naked woman dancing, with fire sticks, but they aren’t lit yet. If you’re a fan of Cirque De Soleil, that’s kind of what you get to start, and then the sticks are ignited, I think they are called torches, my bad. There’s a unique soundtrack, a melody that is done with Peruvian flutes, and it reminds me of Southpark a bit. The credits continue to roll, and we see the shadows of nudity, a formed body, and shadows, which is a nice way to start things off, no doubt. The start of the movie begins with lettering, and it states, “From a far away galaxy…the star creatures are touched by the dreams of Earthlings”, and then we go into the actual movie.

The movie begins with a knight riding on a horse. He’s in full armor, and there’s a woman in a white dress, and full makeup. There’s a medieval times vibe to this, and the knight kneels and asks for his hand. But then we see what’s really happening, it’s a woman in front of a mirror and she says, why are you dreaming? She then starts to talk to the camera, and says how she met the wrong guy, a man named “Bubba King”, and what occurs here is the dude running into the knight with a golf cart. He then steps out looking like Boss Hog from “The Dukes of Hazard”, and he kisses the woman.

We go from that, to a movie studio, and we are introduced to a studio executive played by Mike Horner. However, in the waiting room is Jeanna Fine and Jon Dough. Mike Horner is laughing, and there’s a moose with a cigar on the wall. Jeanna Fine pulls Dough aside and talks to him on the couch in the office, and starts to rub her hands on Dough’s leg. For the record, I love Jeanna Fine, she has a smoker’s voice, short black hair, long legs, and a beautiful face. She starts to throw herself at Dough here, while Mike Horner is in near tears. Dough doesn’t really want to get with Fine, but eventually, as they keep discussing their next move, she gets on her knees and starts to blow him, and he obliges with the next sequence. Some romantic music plays, and we get to the action.

Jeanna Fine starts on her knees, fully clothed, without panties, and blows Jon Dough. Fine is partially shaved, trimmed, and neat, has red colored nails, a light tan, and has that professional woman’s look from the mid 1990s in a business suit and all. She has stockings, and the camera gets right into her work with the blow job. The moose watches the goings on, and tells the director to look at the goings on, and it’s a well lit scene. It’s obvious that this was not filmed on 35MM, as it looks like cable porn only it’s XXX so you see it all. The camera is steady, the lighting is good. Amidst the blow job sequence, Mike Horner starts to yell and stop them for a minute. After some oral, the scene shifts to sex, and Jon Dough gets into work mode. The two have sex on the couch, and while it’s not the best scene, Fine looks amazing. She moans a bit, and Dough pushes through, but honestly, it’s mechanical and lacking passion. Fine is a bit loud, but it’s theatrical, not passionate. If you’re a fan of Fine, then you’ll like watching her have sex with Dough, but if you’re not familiar with her at all, you may think that this is a bit over the top. She’s not that wet, she’s a bit demanding, and Mike Horner is in the corner watching it. She seems to be out of it towards the 15 minute mark too. Fine behaves like a 1 hour escort, waiting for the final cum shot, which arrives at the 17 minute mark, and that’s about it. Fine is in work mode, Dough at least throws in a great deal of pushing, and even sweats a little, but Fine, despite looking like a million bucks, kind of kills the boner with a lackluster, theatrical performance.

We move the story along to the “Beaver House” where we are on the hunt for Bubba King. We are taken to the inside of the strip club, and there’s a crowd of guys. One of the guys looks like Keenan Thompson! It’s just a bunch of random dudes, and the women here are in all feathers, and pink. They are going to do a performance act, much like a burlesque show. Meanwhile, Jon Dough is on the phone in another set trying to get info about Bubba King. The women start their dance, and it’s a very unique, and cool way to open up the second part of this movie. Dough is at a pay phone, remember those? After some time in the phone, he ends up meeting Bubba King and Steven St. Croix.

Jill Kelly and Misty Rain have a sexual encounter on stage for the men. It’s not hardcore, but they are dancing in pink, and it’s very sexy, while the guys watch. It ends after some time, and it doesn’t get too hardcore at all, but watching them dance is truly a nice little takeaway from the rest of the movie. But then of course, after a slight interlude with Alex Sanders and Jenteal, we are back to the women, only now they are starting to have sex with one another. The two get into oral, and it’s all in the pink getup. But what’s interesting here is that the director has chosen to go artsy with the camera work, dropping the frame rate and creating a look that reminds me of the Sega CD, and it’s not great. The two have a great deal of fun with one another, going through oral, fingering, and more. It’s a good sex scene for the most part, and it’s two women that seem into one another.

Up next, we see Jenteal hit the stage. Alex Sanders is in the audience and he starts to imagine what it would be like to have sex with her. The director fades into his dreams, and that’s the next sex scene. Alex Sanders starts to give Jenteal oral to start the sex. Jenteal is a blonde haired, small breasted, curvy woman, and is younger in this picture. Alex Sanders has long hair, and looks like he just got out of the sunset strip from the 1980s, a rocker looking dude. Jenteal has a semblance of the girl next door, until you see her assets, and you realize that she’s a pro. The two have sex in the backstage area and there’s minimal lighting. It’s straight forward sex, with Sanders going in hard at one point and making Jenteal scream and moan in pleasure. If you’re a fan of rough, hard, fast sex, with a good instrumental, there you go. This scene has that, and it’s not a sensual landscape, with Zen’s direction moving away from the action so you don’t always see penetration. You know they are really doing it, but it’s an artistic landscape of a sex scene more than pure hardcore. That can go either way for people. Sanders seeks to get his here, and he is not looking to play passionate, and that leads to the money shot at around the 49 minute mark where he cums on Jenteal’s chest.

The scene quickly ends, and we are taken back to the reality that sanders is watching her dance on stage with a bunch of other dudes.

What occurs next, is one of the oddest ways to end a movie. Missy comes out and starts talking to Bubba King played by Bobby Vitale. Missy gets on her hands and knees and starts to blow Bubba King. She’s dressed up, has a little mole on her cheek, has small breasts, dirty blonde hair, and gets under a table to blow Bubba, while Jon Dough and Steven St. Croix watch Jenteal on stage. Jenteal gets into the face of Sanders and lets him give her oral, meanwhile Dough, St. Croix and Bubba start to get blown by missy overall. She’s blowing the guys under the table, and the show is just going on, without any major work. It’s an interesting scenario, but it makes no sense to the story, as a whole. After a bit of dancing, and the guys cum, Jenteal gets off the stage and pours a beer on Bubbas face! Then Jenteal says that she’s the boss and she is upset with Bubba because he was getting blown during her performance.

Bubba King gets mad, and then we are taken to a noir scene where Mike Horner is laughing. He points a fake gun at his moose, and laughs. We are then taken to the dressing room of Jenteal and there’s a fortune teller, a drag queen that says she will meet a man from Hollywood. But then, we are taken to a preview of the next movie, and that’s the end of this one.

I give “Stardust” a 3 out of 5.

In order to see the whole movie, you have to see more than just this movie. You have to see several “Stardust” movies, in order to get the whole story. This is ok, I guess. It’s got interesting sets, interesting comedic elements, and some great introductions to a larger story, but honesty, it’s lacking in the sex department.

The Naked Truth (1994) Review

The Naked Truth (1994) Poster DVD Cover

Today I have a special review that goes all the way back to 1994. That was the year that the movie “The Naked Truth” was released on home video, and later on DVD. It’s a production that I didn’t know about until I was looking into different scenes featuring various talents, and ran into this early option that starred Janine. This was Janine before all the tattoos, mind you, and before she was working full time with men, or retired in Oregon somewhere. This is a young Janine and she looks amazing. Her face and eyes have always been captivating to me, and while the rest of the cast rounds out some heavy hitters, this movie speaks volumes to the 1990s porno style. There’s a plot here, and it starts with three women talking about how Janine’s boyfriend is the “one”, and that they are waiting for one another. The movie actually shows off that men cheat, and women cheat, and well, it’s a porno. What did you expect? Well, here we go, a venture into the early 1990s, blonde haired, enhanced, shaved, bald porno. This isn’t gonzo pornography, it has a story, but it’s quite thin overall, mind you. This movie features Brittany Andrews, Peter North, Janine, Steven St. Croix, Kirstay Waay, Jay Ashley, Alex Dane, Jenteal, and Sindee Coxx.

The movie turns sexual when Peter North shows up and starts dancing in a black thong. The three women that were talking, then watch Peter North and Brittany Andrews dance, and strip. Then they start to have sex, but not before Janine comes through and start to dance with them. The trio start to go through the motions of foreplay, and it’s evident that North is not going to get Janine, but rather going to be part of a lesbian scene. Even though Janine doesn’t have sex with North, he certainly grinds her a lot, and you’d swear that behind the scenes maybe Janine and North did hook up. Not in this scene, however, as it slowly moves into a lesbian heavy threesome, with North getting in with Andrews for the most part, but Janine there to take on some oral, and more, although she doesn’t really touch North, mind you. It’s a bit confusing, but that’s how early Janine scenes were, she was only doing movies with women. The scene teases Janine getting involved with both North and Andrews, but since the plot is about her being a virgin and waiting for her marriage, she plays coy until finally going forward with giving Andrews oral, while Peter North coaches. Andrews blows Peter North, while Janine just watches and gets aroused. Then North puts on what looks like the world’s thickest condom, I kid you not, and has sex with Brittany Andrews. North and Andrews have real chemistry here, and he really goes to town with her, going through a few positions, before finally finishing. You get a fabulous Peter North cum shot, and it goes all over Andrews’ face, and that’s the end of the scene.

The scene ends and we are taken to a construction site where a stripper is dancing for a bunch of men. It’s Nick and others talking. Yes, that Nick that Janine claims they are going to wait, and that Nick is a virgin etc. However, in this scene, he approaches Jill Kelly, and starts to work through a sex scene.

Hold on, wait a minute! Don't want to read all of this random talk? You don't have to! You can click here and purchase this movie on DVD or VOD via the link right here!

Jill Kelly and Steven St. Croix go forward at a construction site and have sex. This is an early Jill Kelly scene, before she got breast implants. I’ve always loved her face, and eyes, and here she is young, and barely into the porn world. The music here is a hip hop tune, with interesting breaks, but it’s muted a bit to hear the moans of Jill Kelly overall. Steven St. Croix performs oral on Jill Kelly then puts on one of those thick condoms and starts to have sex with her. This goes on while the construction crew watches! SO the two get on a makeshift bed, and just start working out their frustrations. This isn’t a bad scene, and Jill Kelly is quite attractive here. The two have a bit of chemistry together, and they definitely go through the motions and work up a sweat. The editing is off on this scene, as you end up seeing a lot of Steven St. Croix’s face, and sweat, rather than the penetration. However, the camera eventually switches to that in time, but it’s mostly focusing on the movements rather than the actual sex at times. That shifts with the positions, however, as the scene gets more and more heated. Eventually Steven St. Croix finishes on Kelly’s stomach, and even shots a shot near her eyes. This was a somewhat passionate scene, with a lot of gusto for Steven St. Croix, so good for him.

The movie then switches to another point of interesting. Janine shows up to Steven St. Croix’s home, and shows off a piece of lingerie. The two discuss the upcoming wedding, and the cost.

The movie switches gears, and it shows two guys trying to interrogate Kirsty Waay. This include Steven St. Croix and a guy that is just listed as “guy”. He looks familiar, but I can’t place him. Of course, because this is a porno, you know exactly where the scene is going, and the three start having sex. They all do it on a couch, and Waay actually gets really wet for this scene. They are having sex on a cream colored leather couch, and it’s your standard romp, however, there’s no condoms in this one, unlike the other scenes, at least at first. After a few back and forth pumps, a condom appears, which makes me think that this wasn’t shot in one take, but that’s just my two cents. There’s no anal here, there’s no double penetration or anything like that. It’s just a straight threesome, with St. Croix doing a lot of the work, and eventually giving a money shot that hits Waay’s stomach and face, and that’s it. The dude in question is Bobby Vitale, mind you.

After this we are taken to a set where a restaurant is setup. Janine and Kirsty Waay sit down and talk. Waay tries to tell Janine that Nick isn’t a good guy, and that causes her to storm off. She tells her that the dude is a bookie and isn’t a nice guy. That leads to another scene where Janine starts a monologue about Nick and how he can’t be a bad guy, and that she’s not wrong about him. After looking around his office, however, she ends up finding his paperwork and realizes that maybe Nick isn’t such a good guy after all.

We are then taken to Las Vegas where Nick and April, (Janine and St. Croix) have a room with a couple of friends. He wants to get action with his friends, but she doesn’t, so the scene ends up with just one couple having sex on the bed in their rented room.

This scene features Alex Dane and Jay Ashley. This is a pretty straight forward scene. It’s mechanical in nature, and the two just kind of go at it, normally. It’s not that sexy of a scene, although it will get you there. The music turns from pop to a disco electro beat, but the overall sequence isn’t that fun to watch. It’s kind of lame, and while the two have a little chemistry, you can tell that they are in work mode. There’s no condom here, which is a rare point in the movie, and the two just go through the motions of casual sex. The motion eventually goes forward into anal at one point, and then just has a money shot on the back of Alex Dane. Dane is a stand out in this movie, she’s not blonde, or athletic, she’s ethnic and while she does look sexy and young, she doesn’t have a lot of chemistry with Jay Ashley, and well that’s a tough thing in this scene.

The scene ends and we are taken to a bed where Janine, Jenteal, and Sindee Coxx are all just talking. They end up striking up a conversation about sex, and then they go into sex mode. This is a lesbian threeway, and it’s what you would expect from three women that are attracted to one another. They totally dominate this scene, and throw the plot of the movie out of the window, favoring the option to just go with oral, fingers, and much more. It’s just a threesome with beautiful women and that’s it.

I give “The Naked Truth” a 2 out of 5.

While there is a stand out scene with Jill Kelly and Steven St. Croix that is definitely sexy, that’s about it. The rest of the movie is kind of boring, and tired. There’s a little chemistry in the lesbian scenes, mind you, but overall, this is not a great movie at all. It’s kind of boring and mechanical for the most part. If I wasn’t hot for Jill Kelly, I wouldn’t ever watch any of this again.

American Pie (1995) Review

"American Pie" 1995 Poster SRC adultdvdempire dot com

I had no idea that I would be reviewing the Paul Norman film, “American Pie” from 1995 today. It features Nikki Tyler’s first video, Jeanna Fine, Jenteal, Melissa Hill, Amber Woods, Marc Wallice, Tom Byron, Mark Davis, and Frank Towers. The movie starts with some guitar music, and an introduction to the cast, and it’s an interesting little movie title screen with Paul Norman getting the writing and direction credits here. In 1995, this would have played on Spice Network for sure. It screams mid-level production, and interesting San Fernando Valley interior elements. This has nothing to do with “American Pie” the movie featuring teenagers trying to get laid for prom. This is also not the same movie that Jenna Jameson was in, because that movie is called “Cherry Pie”, and I found an old VHS tape for that long ago. Instead, this is something that is altogether new for me. I know the stars of this film from other movies, but I didn’t realize this was Nikki Tyler’s first major role, so how does it play out? Is it worth watching? Let’s find out with this review of “American Pie” from 1995.

You start with that classic trope. A wife comes home looking for her husband, and can’t seem to find him. Where could he be? Jeanna Fine comes on screen and just starts looking for people, and see who was there. She asks for someone to get a car and then leaves. Meanwhile a maid and what I could only believe is the man of the house are hiding. Once Jeanna Fine leaves, Frank Towers and Amber Woods start making out.

Amber Woods is an interesting looking woman, blonde hair, tight body, but Frank Towers looks like a Televangelist, so it throws me off a little. Woods is a typical California looking porn model, and is quite lovely in the maid outfit. There’s no condom here, and Frank Towers makes some insane faces as the two have sex on a staircase near the basement of a house. Woods is not shaved, and she keeps her heels on. The two have somewhat basic sex before Woods gets off and starts to blow Towers for the finish. This wasn’t great, and the money shot was laughable. Woods rubs it on her face and lips, but doesn’t swallow at all. The two move the plot here, as they find out a will. Someone must’ve died or something, I’m not sure.

The next scene shows two women talking about what could have been given to the mistress.

Jenteal and Nikki Tyler go at it here, after talking about having sex with a 70 year old man, and how one misses the old dude. This is a good enough scene, especially if you like lesbian scenes. The two work well together, and there’s a lot of moaning here. If you’re a fan of lesbian sex, specifically watching women perform oral on each other, then this is for you. It seems genuine, and the two seem to really get off in this scene, which is always a good note. This scene sure beats the first scene, and the music is also quite good.

Moving forward, Jeanna Fine is seen in a bath robe and we get the crux of the movie. Fine is a wife that has lost her husband, and is concerned that she’s not going to get a lot of money. She’s saddened, as Mark Davis and Tom Byron standby listening to her complain. Tom Byron here has his long hair, and it’s interesting that his look is so different from the past.

Jeanna Fine asks for the butlers to start massaging her, and they eventually start taking off their clothes, because you know, this is a porno after all. Jeanna Fine was one of my first ever porn crushes, and seeing here really got me thinking about the past and present. If you’re a fan of Jeanna Fine, then you’re going to love this scene as the Byron and Davis give her a full ride of pleasure. Fine seems to enjoy herself here, as she does both guys, gets rimmed, and orally pleased throughout. There was no music for a good part of this scene, then out of the blue, there’s a country rock alternative tune in play as the two dudes really start to work on Fine. It’s a standard threeway for the most part, and then with a quick transition, it turns into a DP, and that’s really the interesting part about this one. Jeanna Fine doing a DP, and wow, she seems to love it. Byron comes first and then just lets it all out on her back. But there is a point where Fine looks to be in pain, but that ends, and Byron leaves the scene. I can’t confirm this, but there appears to be a stunt dick at the end, which is quite funny overall. Jeanna Fine swallows, but then kisses Mark Davis on the mouth, so maybe it wasn’t a stunt dick? I don’t know.

Jeanna Fine is in the office of Marc Wallice and wants to know how she can save her money. This is the best acting job for Fine, and Wallice is just there pretending to be a lawyer. This is a good overall conversation, and it’s not half bad. Fine does a good job here, and she eventually walks away, only to have Melissa Hill show up. Melissa Hill shows up in a red dress and pumps, and Wallice and Hill start to make out.

Melissa Hill and Marc Wallice have sex in his office and it appears that he is the only guy in this film that has a condom. Now, the condom is extra thin and really doesn’t show up, until you get a close up. It stays on perfectly with Melissa Hill, and she’s not shaven. He looks a lot like an adult romance novel cover model. Hill’s red hair and unique facial features make her a nice girl to watch, and I have reviewed some other of her movies. This wasn’t half bad, without a lot of music coming through for the most part, until towards the end. There’s some blues heavy guitar work, and the two just go at it standing for the most part. It’s always odd to me when the music sounds a lot better than the sex, and that’s what happened here. I was more interested in the soundtrack by the time the condom came off and Melissa Hill blew Wallice into cumming. Melissa Hill’s eyes are great, wow, what a vision, oh and she gets a facial, which is always nice to see in porno, I presume.

The movie moves to the County Courthouse where Jeanna Fine is going to talk to a lawyer, I can only assume. She gets in a fight with the mistress, who happens to be there too! The two wrestle a little and then start to have lesbian sex in a bathroom stall. That’s the finisher of this movie, and the two seem to really enjoy the process. Nikki Tyler gets a strap on, and Jeanna Fine gets plowed here, and the two go through some great moments, having fun together. Eventually the two finish, and I’m certain the director called cut. This is the end of this movie, there’s no real resolution, and I don’t know if anyone actually wanted to watch to the end. It’s a good scene for what it is, but it very much cuts the story short, if you were invested in it. I guess they become lovers? Fade to black, and The End, 1995, Wave video. No credits.

I give “American Pie” a 3 out of 5.

This is not a terrible movie, mind you. But it’s far from great. Jeanna Fine is great, Nikki Tyler is hot, and the rest, well it’s functional.

You can purchase “American Pie” from a wide variety of different locations. Including HERE where you can get an autographed copy of this movie!
