Guilty As Sin (1996) Review

Guilty as Sin (1996)

It took me a long time to get back into the swing of things. I have been working a lot, and have been pursuing a doctorate degree, and just found myself focusing on reading, writing, and other areas of interest. Today, we are going to be looking at a movie from 1996. This movie came out in 1996, and it is 93 minutes long. It was directed by Jim Enright, and distributed by Klimaxxx Productions. This movie features some great actors, so I am intrigued by the initial line up. This movie is called, “Guilty as Sin”, and it stars Missy, Mickey G, TT Boy, Nadia Moore, Precious Silver, Peter North, Alex Dane, Alex Dane, Celine Devoux, Blake Mitchell, and Jonathan Morgan. At the time of this movie’s filming around January of 1996, I was only 13 years old, so I did not see it until recently. Some of my personal favorite adult stars are in this movie, and they include TT Boy, Peter North, and Jonathan Morgan. Steve Drake, that rascal is here too, and of course a line up of women that came and went, and didn’t make a big splash like some other featured women on this site. But that’s the world of adult movies, hit and miss, and hope.

You ever wonder who the custodian of records is for these movies? The opening of this movie has a slow starting point, where you hear nothing, see nothing, but get that warning that the custodian of records has all the files on all of the performers, because they are all of age, etc.

The movie starts with three women talking. A secretary comes into an office and is talking about a new client. The new client is a blonde haired woman, and she said that she heard the attorney is the best and she needs the best. She’s in the worst running suit, and it’s hilarious. The office looks like your average set, grey carpeting, a book shelf, some books, a random credential, and a piece of Thomas Kincade art in the background. A desk, and brown bookshelf, and the lighting of course is coming from two angles, so the shadows are showcasing where the lighting rigs are. I’m trying to see if there’s a boom mic in the shot, but the editor did a good job of framing this enough to not see it, but I know it’s up there, and if you’re careful, you can catch the sound bouncing through it.

The blonde tells the attorney that she needs her, and the attorney said she doesn’t need anyone if she hasn’t been arrested or taken in for questioning yet. The blonde tries to convince the lawyer, but the attorney is not having it, until the blonde tells her a little more about her story, and that she has an alibi that has stopped her from killing her man. She says she has her own money, so there’s no way she could’ve killed her husband. When she starts that, the attorney sits down and starts to listen to a story, where we get a hard cut, and into the first scene of adult material.

We cut to a backyard swimming pool. There is a single camera shot looking in on Mickey G floating on a pool bed, and Missy comes through. She walks in with a bikini, but the frame of the shot is so uneven, you can barely see her get into the frame. The director has this shot framed horribly, and the sunlight is so bright, the backyard is washed out, the colors not grand. Missy is a thin, dirty blonde, and has that California tan. Missy gets down to the pool and starts to blow Mickey G immediately, without any interlude, and a hard camera cut, straight to the close up of her blowing him directly. I’m not a fan of the framing of this scene at all. The centering is all off, and the weight is positioned in an odd manner. Mickey G. begins giving Missy oral after she blows him for a while, and the two have basic chemistry, but nothing too grand. Missy’s make up is on point, non-reflective, and her blonde hair has roots that come through as the camera focuses in and out of the closeups. Mickey G. is unkempt and is playing a macho role here. Missy has long legs, that California, blonde, slightly tan but not really too pasty skin tone. The two get out of the pool and use the flotation device to go into more positions. Fans of Missy will find this performance to be adequate, as Mickey G goes through the motions of each position, his arm behind his back because the camera is right on the two as they try to have sex. This scene is quick, and ends with a cum shot on Missy’s face, as she moans. This is not a grand scene, but it’s straight sex, no condoms, and for the outdoors, safe in terms of fantasy land.

We go back to the attorney’s office where Missy talks about what is going on with the case. They talk about how an open marriage, and that they allowed one another to love others as well. Just then, Jonathan Morgan storms in and gives Missy a warrant for arrest. Then the attorney finally says she’ll be her client. Dana, is her name, and the acting here is horrible, with the exception of Jonathan Morgan. Morgan says that the woman shot her husband with a shotgun, and she’s guilty.

We move forward to an office building where Steve Drake and our attorney start to talk. They talk about what things are had by the client. The acting here isn’t too bad, not great, but the dialogue works well. The office here is an obvious set, with bad lighting, but Drake does well here as an evil attorney.

Another hard cut and we are nearly 20 minutes into the porno, and the plot thickens. We see a press release, then we get two women sitting in bed and talking more plot. Missy’s accused of murder, Steve Drake is the evil lawyer, and things keep moving forward, with lots of dialogue. That alone elevates this movie past minor porno status, and instead gives it a full 2 stars extra just for the plot, dialogue, and storyline.

Soft cut here, and we get Missy talking to her lawyer again. The two discuss the pieces of the case. This time we are in Missy’s house, but she’s wearing the same wardrobe as before. During this scene, Missy and her attorney discusses the relationship that Missy has with Charlie. Charlie is played by Peter North, mind you. It’s here that we transition to the next sex scene, and the director throws us into the mess.

We go back outside, and Missy is sitting on a park bench while TT Boy is over her, getting blown. The music starts, and it’s saxophone heavy, with TT Boy showcasing his prowess, and Missy putting on a show for Peter North, who plays the voyeur, or the cuck, depending on how you view this type of thing. Missy and TT Boy have a lot more chemistry than Mickey G did with her, and it shows. Missy rides him in various positions, and he gets really into it towards the end, giving Miss a great deal for the somewhat short scene all things considered. Meanwhile, Peter North sits and watches, and eventually TT Boy cums on Missy’s face, and positions her a bit further from him to get the first launch, which is fine, but not grand. It’s an ok scene, better than the first, that’s for certain.

The lawyer asks Missy if Charlie (Peter North) ever had other women, and that’s when the screen fades, and we see three women enter a room, and present themselves to North. Meanwhile, Missy watches from the corner of a badly decorated set. The show here starts immediately with terrible elevator rock music, that sounds all synth heavy. Nadia Moore, and Precious Silver are the actresses, and they are both skinny, model types, with enhanced breasts, and pretty faces. Both have darker hair, and are a contrast to missy’s blonde hair. The camera goes back and forth between solo action with Missy, to Peter North immediately getting blown and moaning. The set design here sucks, alongside with the lighting, which casts bad shadows all over the scene from overhead lighting. But as far as the sex is concerned, it’s not half bad, although North seems to be in work mode, while the women just go through the motions. You can tell the lighting is coming from the fourth wall, as the shadows give away the set details. As for titillation, the women put on a clinic of how to give ladies oral, meanwhile, North does his best to keep it up. The sex is as sterile as a brothel visit. This is not North’s best work, and Nadia and Precious seem to just be willing participants in a scene where they are more interested in each other, including one woman with a hood piercing. The music is horrible though, the set has green walls, and the camera is all over the place, so good luck with this one. Oh, and how can I forget, there’s a Peter North facial onto a tongue ring, and well, he doesn’t exactly drop a big load here, so if you’re looking for the best of North, this is not the scene for you.

We get back to the house that the attorney was in with Missy. The two start to discuss how many partners one another had. The two women continue to converse, and we get a scene where the attorney is driving. I kid you not, this is a legit movie, although B-level or C-level, but there’s structure here that you do not get with a lot of movies.

The lawyer shows up to her home and walks in, only to find Jonathan Morgan to be in her bed. The two argue about why she took the case. Morgan is a detective, mind you, and the two keep talking about the case, and how one thinks the client is guilty. Morgan gets thrown out of her house, in the worst acting job in the movie thus far.

A soft fade and we go to a court room scene. This is actually done well, and there’s even some non-sex actors in this! I love those! I was in one once. Anyways, this turns into a court room drama, and we get into the best dialogue, and attempts to act. If you are one to watch full movies, rather than just fast forward to sex, you’ll be delighted by the acting job done here. Except for the fact that the attorney here is just reading aloud, not from memory. The judge as well isn’t really taking it seriously, and why would he? It’s a porno, right? A witness is called to the stand, and it’s Alex Dane.

A hard cut takes us into the bedroom of Alex Dane and Peter North. Dane is a skinny, small breasted, brunette, and she immediately begins with a blow job on Peter North. The music here is horrendous, and the set design is actually straight of the 1980s. The flowery brown couch, the hardwood flooring, white piano, and terrible contrast of color and design makes me laugh. Dane and North have a bit of chemistry, especially Dane who really seems to get into the act of giving North a good scene. The two have sex on a brown couch with flowery patterns, and a reddish background, a thrift store find if you ask me. The sex goes through several instances, and positions, with North maintain speed, and precision eventually going through anal. It’s apparent that Dane isn’t that into it, but the scene calls for it, so it goes forward. The music is synth heavy, and it’s fake horns here, and it’s horrible. It’s louder than the sex sounds, which have Dane moaning and North just breathing heavily. After some time, North finishes on Dane’s chest, and that’s that. This is bland. Very little chemistry, and just run of the mill in terms of lighting, and camera work. It’s lazy if you ask me.

Missy shows up and sees the two after they’ve had sex, and she’s upset.

The movie goes forward with the court case, and Drake keeps pushing the witness, and we get moving forward into Drake’s office. Here we see a blonde in a red dress talking to our prosecutor. The two start kissing, and soft music starts. Celine Devoux is the actress here, and she looks like Topanga from “Boy Meets World”, with her hair done like her, thick thighs, and skin tone that draws you in. The set here again is bland, but it’s done up to look like a cheap lawyer’s office or a motel, for that matter. The lighting sucks again, and I’m wondering who green lit this thing, but it’s a porno, so I guess I shouldn’t complain. Devoux and Drake begin with foreplay, and Drake giving some breast play to start. Devoux’s chest is natural, from what I can tell, but then again, this is 1996, maybe they aren’t? I don’t know, I should know. She has cake makeup, is trimmed, and the camera goes right into the tongue and labia, so if you’re a fan of oral, or want to learn, Drake seems to put on a clinic with the foreplay and oral. Drake uses his fingers, mouth, and more to get the first initial climax, and the camera moves lower to show you different angles, and I take back my comment about Devoux’s chest not being enhanced. The sex starts, and it’s casual, nothing crazy, reverse cowgirl, couch sex, Devoux moaning, and for the most part, it’s just run of the mill. I can’t really say it’s terrible, but it’s apparent that Drake and Devoux do not match chemistry, but rather are doing the job. Devoux is a blonde haired stripper type, and if that’s your thing, enjoy. Otherwise, you’re going to get distracted by the lack of chemistry, if that’s what you’e looking for. At the 72 minute mark, there’s anal, and that’s where the scene takes a tonal shift, with the two actually seeming to love what they do, so kudos on that. A cum shot on the chest of Devoux, and that’s the end of the scene.

Drake gets a phone call, and it’s Jonathan Morgan saying that there’s another murder. This time it’s a young man, and it’s another shotgun killing.

The movie then moves forward, and we get to see what really is happening. The attorney talks to Missy, and we then go to a room where Missy is talking to someone on the phone, yelling. The phone is tapped, and we are seeing the end of this story unfold. Missy is in on an extortion plot, she throws the phone down and pulls out a gun, and grabs a leather jacket, this thing is turning into a revenge thriller!

The plot finally thickens, and I’m all in here. A detective is on her tail, and we get some thriller type music, as she pulls up to a house, under the cover of night, to see Peter North come out in a suit, and he’s not dead afterall! North says that the two can run away together. The attorney shows up, talks her out of it, and right before she shoots North, a detective shows up and that’s the end. The whole story wraps up with a detective and our attorney.

Up to this point I didn’t want to name the attorney, because I’m lazy. It’s Blake Mitchell, a short haired redhead, with large breasts. Jonathan Morgan and her begin to kiss on the set of her apartment, and begin with breast play. The oral sex on this scene is good, and Morgan sure has some initial skills with Mitchell, which I definitely appreciated, considering this movie seems to lack in the sex department at times. The camera hides behind a plant at one point, which is hilarious to me. This apartment is designed like the worst Ikea in the world, mind you. The sex begins with a condom on, mind you, the first condom I’ve seen in this whole movie. We start with doggy style, and it’s ok at best. Mitchell moans, and Morgan concentrates, but you can tell that it’s just pure concentration, and nothing more. We switch to another position, Morgan on top and going forward as fast as he can, and then leading to an end of a cum shot on Mitchell’s triple D breasts, which the camera makes look enormous with the angle they choose.

The camera fades, and we get the end, that’s it. The end sequence, and a finish line for the movie.

“Guilty As Sin” was not my favorite movie in terms of sex. But as far as a full movie, with a script, with lots of dialogue, editing, sequencing, and full plot, this is a stellar example of what can be done with a minor budget, for a sex movie. It’s a movie I could see in theaters, and enjoy enough not to finish myself off within the first scene. That’s a special kind of porno movie, isn’t it? Well, it’s something alright.

I give “Guilty As Sin” a 3 out of 5.

Out of Love (1995) Review

"Out of Love" (1995) Poster

We step back in our time machine to review another porno, this time we go to 1995. In the mid-1990s there were a lot of beautiful women showing up in porn, and it wasn’t just the girl next door types. Some of my favorite actresses of all time come from this era, and 1995 was a good year in my opinion. For this movie, we are going to be going to 1995 to review a film that was directed by Paul Norman. It was distributed by Vivid Video, and it stars some of the bigger names in porno up to this point. The movie is called, “Out of Love”. The stars of this movie include, Alex Dane, Brittany Andrews, Jill Kelly, Joey Silvera, Kirsty Waay, Nikki Tyler, Peter North, Sindee Coxx, and Tom Byron. You just can’t escape Joey Silvera and Tom Byron can you? I hope one day I can interview Tom Byron, I bet he has some stories to tell about the many movies he’s been in. Of course, Peter North and Silvera are also great ones, and my favorite actress Jill Kelly is in this one. But is the movie any good? Let’s find out as we review “Out of Love” from 1995.

We open our movie with Joey Silvera and a blonde talking about marriage. They discuss how they were not in love anymore, and there’s a flash back to a time where they were having sex. This is a quick romp, nothing spectacular. They talk about how the sex was still good, but they weren’t in love any more. Silvera’s acting is quite good here, and it’s second to none. He can actually act, while the lady with him, just isn’t that good. I’m assuming it’s Nikki Tyler. The two continue to discuss things and then the camera fades and we go to another scene.

In a bedroom that looks like a modern bedroom inside a warehouse somewhere, we see three women talking a bit. After a bit of discourse, soft romantic jazz starts playing and the trio start making out. The women here are Brittany Andrews, Nikki Tyler, and Sindee Coxx. Each one is blonde, each one has enhanced breasts, and they each have tight bodies. What follows is a threesome that features sensual oral, lots of kissing, breast play, and moaning. It doesn’t last too long, and the women keep most of their lingerie on, but they do a great deal of fingering, and oral, and things like that, making it a standard scene, with no real payoff.

The scene ends and we are back to Tyler and Silvera discussing their marriage. This then goes to a story where Jill Kelly and Joey Silvera are talking in a bedroom. Silvera and Kelly here are great together, and the acting is taken up a notch. Honestly, 1995 Jill Kelly is one of the most beautiful women to me. She has a California blonde look, nice breasts, tan lines, and blonde hair. She’s a fantasy that I could never get in my life, and this is before she had breast implants. I’d love to interview her today, but alas, that’s not going to happen.

Silvera and Jill Kelly start to make out in the bathroom of what looks to be a very terribly designed hotel. There’s some terrible instrumental music that begins to play, and the two start to get really familiar, taking off their clothing and starting to kiss a bit more overall. There’s a lot of blocking in this sex scene, and the cameras can’t really show you a lot that you’d expect from a porno. You do see Silvera giving Kelly oral, and using his hands and fingers, but you don’t see a lot of the penetration here. The two do have sex, and it’s not a bad scene if you’re a fan of Kelly, but overall, you can’t really see what’s going on. It’s almost like watching it on the Spice Network, and that kind of ruins the scene for me. Jill Kelly moans a great deal, and she looks great, even though Silvera doesn’t last that long overall. It’s not a great scene at all honestly.

We go back to the conversation that Silvera is having with Tyler and they talk about infidelity.

The scene switches to another scene, and it shows Tom Byron and Tyler hanging out. Tom Byron is in his punk rock, rocker phase with long hair, facial hair, and more. He tells Tyler to get a blanket and pillow from the closet as he and Alex Dane retreat to a bedroom in what appears to be an apartment.

The director hard cuts and we are taken to a bedroom, with simplistic design, where Tom Byron starts to give Alex Dane head. For this sex scene Alex Dane and Tom Byron start to get familiar fast, Dane immediately nude here. Alex Dane is a brunette with a thin waist, large breasts, pearl necklace, and simplistic makeup. She looks like a professional, wearing black stockings and high heels, and gets into the action with Byron quickly. After some oral on Dane, Byron gets sucked off in a hard blow job scene that gets him quite hard, fast. There’s some terrible techno playing during this one, and the two go through multiple positions of sex. It’s not great, it’s not terrible, but it seems to lack a little bit of passion until there’s a point where Byron goes for anal. When he goes into anal, Dane moans a bit more, and seems to really get into the sex, while Byron looks to be in mechanical mode. This works for what it is, but the two don’t share nearly as much chemistry as you’d expect. The framing of the sex is good, with good lighting overall, and interesting momentum towards the end, where you get a money shot from Byron onto Dane’s back.

After the sex, we end up going back to the initial couple talking about their divorce some more. They discuss how jobs have changed, life has changed, and there’s a bit of depression involve. Tyler gets mad at Silvera for painting and being less stressed now than before. The two seem to start to warm up a bit. Then we are taken to another room where Joey Silvera is drawing. He has live models and they are being painted by Silvera as he watches them have sex.

There’s a bit of art to this scene, mainly Silvera just directing a couple into sexual positions so that they can be painted. Kirsty Waay and Peter North begin their scene with a blow job in what looks to be an attic. They are both nude to start. Kirsty Waay is a redhead with large breasts, and you already know Peter North. Some soft piano music starts and the blow job continues, with a bit of sensuality, and focus on the act, nothing too complex. Meanwhile, Joey Silvera is painting them doing it. The two continue to move forward with the sex, the piano music starting to get loud, and that’s when you see North has put on a condom. This condom is white as snow, and it stands out like a sore thumb in this sequence. Waay is an interesting model, but she lacks passion during the sex, meanwhile this condom is driving me nuts. I’m a fan of safe sex, and safe sex in movies, but here it just looks like a giant white dildo. It’s so unnerving, and it just seems unnatural to me. The two have sex, but it’s somewhat basic in nature, with only a few positions and mostly just blocking because they aren’t supposed to be professionals. After some changing of positions, North cums on Waay and that’s that. Nothing too complex here, and nothing really to say other than it works as a sex scene, and not much else. It’s not very passionate at all, and it’s mechanical in nearly every phase.

After the sex we are taken to a lawyer’s office where Joey Silvera and Nikki Tyler are finalizing a divorce. They fill out paperwork and there’s a lawyer there to finalize everything. That’s the end. The two end up talking about how they could just be friends. Then Nikki Tyler tells Silvera that he’s the best sex she’s ever had, and that prompts the two to go to a bedroom.

For this scene, the two are in a random house, lighting is good, but it looks like your average home. There’s heavy techno music in the background of this one, and it’s really annoying. It’s the worst music for a scene that is supposed to have a sense of passion. Silvera’s moans are louder than Tyler’s to start, and it’s funny that the audio was chosen in this manner. Nikki Tyler starts things off with a blow job that is somewhat fast, and passionate. Silvera switches positions and gives Tyler oral. Nikki Tyler is a tall blonde with very large breasts, a tan, thin waist, and trimmed pubic hair. After the oral another song plays, and this one is a bit more tolerable. The sex begins and we see that Silvera has put on a condom for this scene. It’s a clear one, so it’s not nearly as intrusive as what Peter North was wearing. This is a slow moving sex scene with Tyler asking Silvera to do things, and Silvera obliging. The two go through the motions of sex and honestly, it’s a bit like a one hour session with an escort, rushed, and lacking any sort of connection. Silvera doesn’t even last that long before he cums on Tyler’s back, and that’s it. Silvera’s a legend, don’t get me wrong, but in this scene he’s just passable, while Tyler is an amazing looking woman in contrast, and yet only gets a little bit of action. It’s a scene that works, but it’s far from complete, as you totally know that Tyler didn’t get off here.

I give “Out of Love” a 2 out of 5.

There’s a lot of problems that I found with this movie. It lacked a sense of passion, the sex was bland at times, and there was an obvious disconnect with the director and his actors. Aside from the setting, and some interesting acting from Silvera, I didn’t find what I was looking for at all. The Jill Kelly scene especially was disappointing, but overall, it’s a movie that a couple may enjoy, but it’s not a great one at all.
