JUSTINE (2002)
Alternate Name: ANDREW BLAKE'S JUSTINE
2002--Studio A Entertain.
Producer/Director: Andrew Blake
Featuring: Justine (other), Aria Giovanni, Elle Williams, Erica Campbell, Emilu Marilun

I picked this up based purely on the striking boxcover and the fact that I haven't seen an Andrew Blake movie in a very long time. It's going to be another very long time--thoughts of hell freezing over come to mind--before I make the mistake of watching another. I don't believe this has any redeeming features...well, maybe in the negative: No one is bukkaked; no one is called a "slut" or "whore"; no one is peed-on; no one vomits... but apart from those sort of things...

There are no males, no sounds of sex, no dialog...just some synthesizer music, no story...not even pantomimed, no sightseeing, no outside shots except one at the end on a fire escape,... The girls, of which there are apparently only five but it seems as though there's twenty or so due, I suspect, to a constant change of hairstyle, makeup, and fetish gear, are like silent mannequins that you might find in a shop window. I don't know who Justine is, nor for that manner any of the others although four of them seem relatively slim and one is a pudgy big-titter. I can't tell about heights because there's no point of reference.

The girls in ones and twos and threes preen and simulate g/g's with lots of lizard tongue pretend kissing, hot wax is poured like oil--and I suspect it's not really candle wax--over one or other's tits, they simulate stylized masturbation, lick toes and feet, paddle each other, and in one and I think only one instance ram a clear dildo up a twat. The clothing is all fetish vinyl and similar plus garter belts and predominantly black stockings and the sets are cold and clinically modern. Minimal spartan furniture and it looks like you could freeze your butt off just being there.

Oh yes, did I mention the slow motion and the staring at the camera. You can amuse yourself by running the tape in FF (you'll be using the FF a lot) and watch one of the girls in particular who from the back view looks like she's doing a belly dance. There's no distinct cut off between any segment--if you can call them that. They just merge together even though different girls might appear.

AVOID this waste of time. Date of production: 6/17/02.
