Poison Ivy: The New Seduction

What do you say? The series just keeps getting better, watched them all as they came out in my 20's and we had an explosion of girls we grew up watching on tv becoming women, first Drew, then Alyssa and finally Jaime, well Jaime just came out of nowhere I think. All of them did justice to P. I. they were all very good looking and passed the sexy factor to pull the movie off hyping up the old men. The plots were always silly and fairly predictable, Violet goes way past the other 2 in showing skin, Pressly was not afraid to drop her garments back then before Earl, it's an 8 out of 10 just for Jaime alone lol, gotta love these old 90's cheap sex thrillers lol. Thrills, chills and a bit cable soft porn. Not as good as Wild Things, Basic Instinct, Cruel Intentions or that big budget type, but went all out on sets, backgrounds and scenery, cast was unknown but good. This one has Megan C Edwards as Joy and Shanna Moakler the Playboy Playmate to add to the mix of up and comers. Meghan did Tracing Cowboys, an independent film that was highly lauded for it's haunting theme and landscapes, just watching it now lol.

Okay, so it's not the most cinematically perfect film ever made but I think people can lose the point of watching movies these days. I like thought-provoking, or striking films as much as the next guy but there are some times you just want entertainment and the Poison Ivy films do that. I liked the first, didn't really go for the second but am happy with The New Seduction. Jaime Pressly looks fabulous and the plot is a bit contrived but heck, there have been a lot of far more stupid ideas that have cost ten times as much and featured A-list stars. It's good, honest, down to earth entertainment, but probably not a good date movie. You'll learn to love it.

POISON IVY: THE NEW SEDUCTION is the third film in the lascivious "series". While it isn't anything Earthshaking, it's not bad at all. It's certainly an improvement over the dullness of the second movie.

Violet (Jaime Pressly) is a psychopath who gleefully goes about ruining as well as taking lives. Her natural heat burns up all in her path, leaving only cinders behind. In a word, she's H-O-T!

The plot is somewhat similar to the first movie, with Violet moving in with an old friend. She soon takes over the family through lies, sensuality, and multiple homicides. Violet is far more cunning and cold than Ivy ever was. This leads to more deceptions and a higher body count.

Recommended for fans of erotic thrillers that live up to their billing...

Wow! Violet's mom (Athena Massey) and the pool boy don't waste any time in getting down to business, and we aren't 10 minutes into the movie when a grown up Violet (Jaime Pressly) is showing us everything she has in the bathtub. This is a good start.

Soon she is servicing Joy's (Megan Edwards) fiancée Michael (Greg Vaughan), and getting daddy (Michael Des Barres) all excited swimming topless.

It is so fun to see what Violet's devious mind will come up with next.

I enjoyed seeing Susan Tyrrell (Buddy Boy) again.

This is definitely Jaime Pressly's most skintastic performance and one you will never see again now that she has hit the big time.

If you were to ask me who are my current favorites when it comes to women, I'd say Tina Barrett, Kira Reed, Catherine Bach (in her prime) and Shannon Whirry, but the one I'd love to meet first would be Jaime Pressly (or Tina Barrett). Pressly, a former Playboy Playmate, is the sexiest woman around, but sadly, her movie roles since this one have been for the likes of "Jerry Springer's Ringmaster", "Tomcats", and "Teen Movie", movies that I wouldn't even go see for free because they're awful. I usually wait until they're on video as part of 2 for 1s.

Like these movies, Pressly first staring role is also in a BAD film. A sequel to the Poison Ivy movies, Pressly plays the sister of Drew "Available" Barrymore who's come to wreak havoc on the family who ruined her life. Much like others in this genre, she seduces family members and a woman's fiancé to ruin the family.

From Pressly's first scene, where she gets out of the car and the camera pans her from her well-developed legs to her face, to the end, she dominates the film. She plays pure evil to the hilt, yet you cheer for her. If she wasn't in the film, this would be the worst film in history. Everyone else delivers a performance so bad that you're praying for Violet to ruin this family's structure fast. Susan Tyrell, who plays a meddling Euro maid who you'll really hate, and Athena Massey who plays a whiny, wimpy, spoiled rich girl, are the lowlights here. The film is slow, the dialogue is weak, and the direction is plodding. However, if this movie is on T.V., at least take a short look at it, because whether she's clothed or nude, there are very few, if any women in show business who are as much as a SEXBOMB as Jaime Pressly. O.K. Tina Barrett, too LOL.
