Forever

I was thrilled to get to see a vintage Sin City feature I had never heard of, but was greatly disappointed by "Forever", a Buck Adams production that was truly botched.

As if to underscore and magnify its failure, throughout the movie there are subtitles on screen criticizing the script and the movie, heckling it silently but still with the know-it-all MST3K approach. This gimmick, meant to be amusing, ruins the movie regardless of the film's shortcomings.

Another annoying gimmick is that Buck is playing himself, a movie producer who promised a guy named Ken that he would read this submitted script and comment on it. As he reads, we see scene after scene enacted. But other than Buck there are no real characters on screen, just the fictional creations played by porn talent.

Story is rather simple: a test pilot who volunteers for a cryogenics experiment and wakes up 40 years later from deep freeze only to find the world has changed completely and he doesn't fit in at all. He searches for his love Jenna (Kelly Jaye) and instead finds her daughter, also named Jenna (Caressa Savage). Nothing is resolved and the sex scenes are presented randomly in a hodge-podge fashion. Of the talent, I liked Jessica James (in a lesbian role) best -her body beautiful plus peaches & cream complexion is arresting.

Buck's stated intention of making a romantic film falls flat.
