Finishing Touch (1994) Review

Finishing Touch (1994) Poster 

I’m not sure why I picked “Finishing Touch” but as I look at the cast, I think it’s all because I wanted to get to see all of Jill Kelly’s scenes. She’s one of the women that I’ve grown to love, and would one day love to interview, so if you know Jill Kelly and she would want to talk to a random blogger, of course I’d be down to talk with her. Anyways, this movie comes to us from 1994, and I swear that this was on Spice Network, but I can’t really be certain. The cast of this movie is simple enough, as there aren’t that many scenes. The cast is, Jill Kelly, Cal Jammer, Lana Sands, Saki St. Jermaine, Mike Horner, Dyanna Lauren, Krista, Tianna Temptress, Rick Blaine, and Brad Armstrong. There’s not much I can tell you about this one, other than it was directed by Jim Travis, and distributed by Dreamland Entertainment. The lead in notes that Jim Travis shot, directed, and wrote this one, so word to Jim Travis! Nice.

We begin the feature with an older blondish haired woman that is typing on an archaic laptop. This is a set that is dark, with a green couch, and looks like a studio set, more than anything. This actress, whom I assume is Dyanna Lauren, starts to read a script, and imagines the scene.

The scene shifts to the imagination from the script, and we have a young Jill Kelly and Cal Jammer starting to make out. The music is a slow progressive jazz beat, with bongos and drums starting to weigh into a little jazzy number. This goes along with the slow moving process of Cal Jammer as he really tries to be sensual with a young, Jill Kelly. Kelly seems to be into it for the most part, and the two try to be as sensual as you can get in a makeshift office. Kelly isn’t shaved here, and she doesn’t have her breast implants, so if you’re a fan of natural, young Jill Kelly, then this is going to really do it for you. I can tell that this movie was meant for the Spice Network as well because there’s a focus on Jill Kelly’s eyes and movements, and a slow down of the editing where you just see Cal Jammer and Kelly’s eyes, and nothing more. Then she gets into the blow job sequence, but it’s deliberately shot where you don’t always see her mouth and Jammer’s penis. It’s fascinating to see the blocking that is done here, which is always a nod to the old cable porn days when you couldn’t see penetration or anything like that. This scene slowly moves forward into sex, and the song continues it’s slow beat. There are no condoms here, and Cal Jammer seems to have chemistry with the young Jill Kelly. In fact, this is a much more raw scene than you would normally get from Kelly’s later work. One odd note was that there was a dubbed moaning into the scene, which wasn’t Kelly’s voice at all. That was weird, but other than that, this is scene progressively gets hotter, and Jill Kelly truly becomes one of my favorite actresses. Jammer is a pro here, and just goes through the motions, but Kelly really gets into it around the 15 minute mark. If you are a fan of porn and you don’t get hard to this scene, I’m not sure what you’re doing watching it, cause Jill Kelly is awesome in this one, wearing stockings and a garter, supreme example of high quality porn, even if the lighting is a bit “orange”. There’s an odd point in the scene where the two turn on each other and rim one another, which is an interesting point. Then things go back to a different pace, and Jammer cums on Kelly’s stomach, then she gets on her knees and blows jammer. This is one hell of a sex scene folks, grade A if you ask me.

We go back to the writer at the beginning. She breaks the fourth wall and talks to the camera, telling us that she can come up with better in the script, and she once again reads, and imagines.

Moving forward, we have another fake set, and it’s supposed to be a retail store selling shoes. The woman that is in place is Saki St. Jermaine, and she’s a redhead that looks to be a bit older. Meanwhile, Mike Horner is the main man here, and Lana Sands, one of my crushes from the old porn world is in this scene too. The scene turns from a women’s shoe salesman gig to a trio of sex. This is not a long scene, but a lot of foreplay occurs. St. Jermaine doesn’t get into the sex as much, as Lana Sands gets most of it, and the camera focuses on that more than anything else. Eventually Horner cums in Sands’ face, and that’s the end of the scene. This is a fast moving scene, that isn’t that fun to watch, the editing is bad, but the jazzy tune saves it. It sucks when the music is better than the sex, but it happens. This isn’t a terrible scene mind you, it’s just not as good or as hot as the Jill Kelly scene that was up front. The ending does have that classic post-cum blow job, which isn’t bad.

We go back to the writer’s position and it’s Dyanna Lauren topless, I think. She’s the writer, and she’s talking about how she can make the scenes better and starts to imagine another sequence.

Coming up next it’s Dyanna Lauren, Krista, and Tianna Temptress doing a threeway lesbian scene. This isn’t exactly thrilling if you’re not into lesbian scenes. It’s standard, but the production team decided to have the music louder than the moans and the women, so you get a jazz beat over the moans. The scene isn’t half bad, the women are all cute, and they have a great deal of momentum with dildos, and vibrators. The women are brunettes except Dyanna Lauren, and it just flows with ease. It’s a standard scene, with good music, but it’s not that great. It’s enjoyable for a little bit, but it’s not grand, that’s all I can say about it.

The next sequences features Dyanna Lauren masturbating and that’s it. If you like solo scenes, this is a good one, as she just uses her hands and just goes to town moaning and groaning with her long finger nails, and that’s it.

If you were upset that you didn’t get much action with Saki St. Jermaine, then you will love the next scene, as it features her, and Rick Blaine. But viewer beware. Rick Blaine is an everyman, he’s hairy, he doesn’t have a big penis, and well, is a bit gross looking. Not like Ron Jeremy gross, but think suburban dad from the 1980s kind of gross. St. Jermaine is a bit nasty here, and I don’t know what to make of this scene other than it’s a perfect illustration of how raunchy porn is supposed to be. Mid-way through the scene, Blaine doesn’t even have it up that much and Jermaine has to really work it to get up. This is kind of a gross scene, but it’s porn, so it’s bound to happen. The two get it on and Jermaine screams a bit, but the two are more amateur than anything else, so if you like amateur sex, then this is going to first nicely for you. It’s raw, it’s animalistic, it’s kind of enticing after a while. Blaine cums on Jermaine’s butt and that’s the end. For historical reference, the scene works, but it’s far from hot if you ask me.

We go back to the writer, and it’s Dyanna Lauren as she talks to the camera. She says that she’s done writing and now she wants to go do Brad Armstrong, and that’s where the movie takes us. We see Dyanna Lauren in crotchless panties, and black pumps. She’s topless, and the music is a piano medley that is sensual in tone, as you see the artsy side of porn production. Brad Armstrong shows up and Dyanna Lauren says she wants to do him, and well that makes it all better. Brad gets onto a bed, and she services him outright, with a sensual focus, that blends well with the music. Armstrong is one lucky dude, and he’s a staple in a lot of porno movies. Dyanna Lauren is quite sexy in this final scene, and the two seem to have some genuine chemistry in working together, although it takes a bit to get going. It’s not a long scene, mind you, but it works for what it is, and after about 2 positions, Armstrong finishes on her face, and that’s the end of the show folks. The ending scene is a bit more sensual than anything, and well, it’s a vehicle for Dyanna.

The movie ends with Dyanna Lauren talks to the camera again, and she’s a terrible actress. But hey that’s the end of the movie. The movie is only an hour and 24 minutes long, mind you, and it really isn’t that grand. The camera zooms in, and it’s the end, a movie that really isn’t great but hey, Jim Travis does ok with what he has.

I give “Finishing Touch” a 3 out of 5.

The only reason you’d want to see this movie, in my opinion is for Jill Kelly. A young Jill Kelly is featured in the first sex scene, and it’s quite a doozy, so if you’re into her, that’s the reason to get this movie. Otherwise, it’s a serviceable title for fans of Dyanna Lauren, and that’s about it.

You can purchase “Finishing Touch” by clicking here, or finding it somewhere else. I got my copy on VHS tape, and well, it has been worn and weathered by this point.
