Model Lust

See this movie for the Boobs. The naked ones, or the ones who wrote, directed or acted in it. It's Softcore Porn, that doesn't waste a lot of time on plot between scenes where 5 or 6 different pretty girls seem eager to get naked and get it on with some guy or in front of a camera. The Porn is as light as the Plot. The Girls and the Plot are cute. The Characters and their Relationships are NOT Deep. People who would want to see the movie could probably stop reading after my first sentence. But a comment about the MOVIE and it's genre should go further.

This is mostly male fantasy, a notch or two above typical Porn work. Many girls do go to Hollywood to "Find Themselves" or "Get Discoverred" as a Model or Actress. In the Male or the Female fantasies, they never have financial difficulties, never have to work hard, never have to learn anything, and find instant success as fast as the instant gratification of zipless sex.

This is "Nice Porn" or Soft for what you don't see. No Genitals or Penetration, No Drugs or Drunks, No Coercion, some mild Violence but it's not in the Sex. Nobody seems to think about STD's or contraception or morals. It is Male Porn because people have sex based on physical attraction and lust, not respect or relationships.

The Girls are passably pretty. The actresses (or Characters?) are people I could like -- fun, adventurous, amorous. I might even rent a few other movies just to see them again. For Entertainment, not everything we want to see has deep meaning or complicated plots. Some days, it's just for the boobs.

Ariella (Juliana Kinkade) daydreams about being a model as well as a secret agent, after her sister finds her a job as a model photographer's lackey. It's best to concentrate on the girls, as the storyline is silly and i HATE ending where it was all a dream anyway. But all the girls were unusually beautiful and the film was much more light-hearted than any other soft-core film I've seen of late. So that raises the grade up a tad.

The Goods: 6 sex scenes (m/f, female threesome,f/f ) nude modeling

Babe of the movie: Mary Carey. Juiliana is cute and all, but I don't like plastic boobs so the former governor Candide gets my vote

My Softcore Grade: B-

Adventurous and sexy college student Arielle (played by Juliana Kincaid), heads to Los Angeles after first treating her beau to an afternoon delight. He wants her to stay, but she wants to "find herself" in LA.

Arielle arrives at the Hollywood home and lust-nest of beautiful cousin Tracy Henderson (Diana Espen, aka April Flowers), and Tracy introduces her to the local modeling scene, temperamental photographer Scardino (John Castine), and handsome, cocky model Lance (Glen Meadows). Lance arouses Arielle's attention, but international intrigue and espionage worries arise to threaten these cozy affairs, and pretty Arielle must balance her lust-life with national security concerns.

The subplots serve to offer ample opportunity for plenty of skin, including beauties in full frontal view, and numerous sexual encounters, including the usual full range of straight and lesbian activity. These encounters are fairly erotic, with uncommonly attractive men and women, except in the case of a couple of lesbian second-level models, who appear a bit cheap and fleshy.

Most of the acting is credible, but a few of the bit-part players seem flighty. The plot is lightweight, but the execution was generally successful, except for a couple of rough transitions. The movie is lightweight, too, but the objective is soft-porn titillation, and the sex scenes fulfill the goal.

Plot: C+. Shallow

Acting: B. Adequate

Women: B+. Quite pleasing to view, though less stunning than some

Men: B. Reasonably handsome

Eroticism: A- Plentiful and varied

Overall: B+ Pretty good soft-porn

I hardly know where to begin in reviewing this mess, since it is awful in pretty much every conceivable way, but I'll give it a shot, in hopes of saving a few people from the pain that comes with watching this movie.

To start off, the storyline, about a young woman who comes to Hollywood and is quickly thrust into modeling before becoming an unlikely spy, is both boring and absurd, and yet, it might be the least objectionable part of this train wreck. After all, this is a movie that on two separate occasions shows multiple minute flashbacks of scenes that concluded less than TEN minutes earlier. Admittedly, it was difficult staying awake throughout this disaster at times, but unless you have the memory span of a goldfish, I don't believe that they really needed to replay ENTIRE scenes within minutes of them originally occurring in the first place -- this merely serves to confirm just how thin this movie really is. As for the dialogue, well, it cripples an already silly story, and many of the lines are mangled by the "acting", particularly by lead actress Juliana Kincaid. It would be charitable to say that her acting skills are amateurish, and that's even by porn actress standards (and all of the ladies in this film are porn veterans, by the way). Which leads me to my final complaint about the movie -- the women. Quite simply, if you're watching this movie, you're likely watching it to see some skin, and with the exception of Mary Carey, I didn't even like the way these women LOOKED. Sure, it's a shallow comment, and a matter of personal preference, but if you like curvy women in your softcore, this movie will prove to be a disappointment.

On a final note, I know that there are some movie watchers (myself included) who like to watch horrible films in hopes of finding one that's "so bad, it's good". This isn't even one of those movies. This is a film that is so bad, you'll find yourself shaking your head in disbelief at the on-screen idiocy every few minutes, and checking your watch at least as often. This movie is nothing more than mind-numbing, life-wasting garbage.

They could have at the very least taught the photographer how to hold the camera while he was clicking away on useless poses ... shooting nudes is tougher than it looks and real glamour photographers rarely use an electronic flash ... where were the lighting techs ? well this isn't the only male fantasy ever filmed
