Subject:          REVIEW: "Attitude" 


If you've never seen an episode of The Twilight Zone, this may be a good 
place to start.  Jon Dough definitely wanted to do something different and
he proves it with this movie, his directorial debut.  Unfortunately, it's not
all that hot.  The characters and situations aren't very well thought out,
they all just come and go with no rhyme or reason why.  Some of them just 
appear through flashes of light and it doesn't make sense.  The whole story
just doesn't make sense (but that's not Jon's fault - credit writer Justin
Sterling for that).  I rented this video with somewhat high expectations, but
ended up quite disappointed.  At least Jon knows how to direct (the cast was
very much in control with their own particular characters - it's just the
storyline they dealt with that brought it all down).  Hopefully his other 
self-directed movies are better - he just needs to choose a better writer or
just write his own scripts (he's been in the business long enough, I'm sure
he's chock full of interesting ideas).

We are presented with a bar (which is not a bad set, really).  Then Jon 
appears, walks behind the counter and the rest of the room is suddenly filled
with people.  Things start off with Steven St.Croix sitting at the bar, 
complaining to Jon about how he can't understand the fact that people poison
themselves with alcohol.  He goes on preaching for a couple of minutes more
and tells Jon how people can't control themselves when it comes to alcohol or
other forms of pleasurable things.  Steven says he himself has his control
down pat then Jon points out one girl (Emerald Estrada) fondling another girl 
(Rebecca Lord) by a pool table and Steven takes a peek.  Suddenly, everyone
in the bar (all the extras) disappear and Jon forces Steven to make his way
to the two girls, getting him to go against all his beliefs about having a
controlled personality, without giving in to temptation.  Of course, he 
wanders over there slowly and starts to kiss Rebecca.

(SCENE 1): If there's one thing that brings the heat down in all of the 
scenes, it's the editing.  The clips are pieced together so closely, there's
barely any time to watch a particular clip without switching to another one
within seconds.  Even more annoying is intercutting two different clips 
together to give it a flashy effect that scrolls by in the blink of an eye.  
Anyhow, the sex scenes are nothing different so this video trickery was 
probably done to try to enhance things.  After kissing and undressing, Rebecca
gets her pussy licked and then Emerald does.  Rebecca and Steven do a doggie, 
then he and Emerald do a mish then it's back to Rebecca for a reverse cowgirl 
(with Emerald down underneath licking his balls).  Steven pulls out of Rebecca
and cums on Emerald's face.

Afterwards, Jon approaches Steven (who's sitting down with Rebecca on his 
lap) and tells him, "See?  That wasn't so bad.  Everyone else sure liked it".
The camera moves back to show us the bar filled with people again, who are
applauding.

Jon heads back to the bar where another customer (Juli Ashton) is waiting to
be served.  She asks him to wipe her dirty stool first, then she sits down and
orders a drink.  They have small talk and Jon thinks he has her figured out to
be a bored and lonely wife whose sugar daddy is in a big meeting and doesn't
have the time for her.  Juli gets up angrily and heads out of the bar.  At first
she's confused, thinking she went out the front door, but discovers she's in an
alleyway.  Turning around to go back inside, the door is no longer there so she
slowly makes her way through the narrow alley and runs into a bum (Joey Silvera)
who points downwards (near some cardboard boxes) and tells her the exit is 
there.  She bends down to see and then he pushes all the boxes on top of her.
She stands up again, but with a small box over her head.  She's telling Joey to
take it off of her (like she can't take it off by herself) then the next thing
we know, she's undressing for him with a promise that he get her out of there.

(SCENE 2): After Juli slides her dress off, she also takes the cardboard box
off her head.  She gets her pussy licked, then she gives him head (fair) and
she sits down while Joey goes in front, penetrating her pussy.  That's the
only position they do.  He finally pulls out and cums on her pussy.

Back at the bar.  Juli steps in to finish off her drink then ends up leaving
with a well-dressed Joey the bum (or is this supposed to be her sugar daddy
who happened to look like Joey the bum?).  Anyhow, they leave and Jon stands
behind the bar staring at a depressed customer (T.T. Boy) who's complaining
about women and how his very recent ex-girlfriend Stacy (Nikole Lace) has 
been fucking many other guys behind his back.  Jon realizes that T.T. didn't
really want his relationship with her to be over, that he's just playing Mr.
Tough Guy thinking he can handle it.  T.T. gets up to use the bathroom.  
After washing his hands, a beam of light flashes and Stacy is standing behind
him.  She goes up to him and tells him she really loves him and they start to
kiss.

(SCENE 3): If it wasn't for the video trickery, this scene would've actually
been good.  Nikole and T.T. kiss, she blows him, he licks her, they do a mish
and a reverse cowgirl.  He pulls out and she goes to her knees to catch his
load on her face (which ends up mostly in her hair).  Nikole is enthusiastic
and has a cute, somewhat innocent appeal about her.  I even think she looks
like she could be related to Francesca Le in some ways.  

While T.T. gets dressed, he asks Stacy if she's been seeing many guys.  She
shakes her head and tells him he'll never change and that he should stop 
questioning her.  Then *poof* she disappears.

Sitting at the bar watching two girls (Misty Rain and Bionca) playing pool is
the Vic-man (Jonathan Morgan, playing yet another annoying geeky role).  He
orders another drink for himself, plus two more for the girls.  Once Jon 
brings the drinks over to the pool table, he points out Vic and both girls
walk over to him and flirt a bit.  Jon tells them to take it into his office
and they do so.

(SCENE 4): Jonathan sits down on a desk while he watches Misty and Bionca get
it on.  Eventually, Bionca reaches into Jonathan's pants and grabs his dick,
pulling it out and sucking it.  He cums way too soon, from Bionca stroking him,
and the two girls kick him out of the office so they can continue with 
eachother.  Misty and Bionca get a little nasty with eachother - spitting,
spanking pussies and asses, and vigorously working in fingers and dildos.
Misty looks quite nice here with a small leather top and her hair done big
and frizzy.  Misty does a dildo-anal at first, then a dildo-dp.  They work
eachother up again in other positions, using the dildos.  Again, another hot
scene brought down by editing.

Jon is wiping some bottles and the bartop when suddenly three girls (Rebecca
Lord, Kim Kitaine and Jenteal) appear around him.  They want to play with him
but he tells them, "Come on, girls, you know the rules.  Why don't you play
with Jeffrey?".  He looks over at a black man wearing an afro-wig playing on
a keyboard.  As soon as the girls surround him, he disppears.  They decide to
play with themselves, so without wasting any time they fondle eachother.

(SCENE 5): Rebecca, Kim and Jenteal all look nice in latex outfits - which
only Kim keeps on the whole time.  They kiss and fondle eachother then Rebecca
starts to shave Jenteal's pussy.  Afterwards, she and Kim get a taste of Jen's
freshly shaved box and then whip out dildos and use them on eachother.  Rebecca
first works a dildo into Jen, then works two in both Kim's ass and pussy and
Jen returns the favor by working one into Rebecca.  They are into it well 
enough throughout the scene, but it's not scorching.

Sitting down on a stool now is a down-on-his-luck geek (Alex Sanders) who 
looks over at Jeffrey and tells Jon how he's so lucky in knowing how to "get
the women".  In another flash of light, Vanessa Chase appears and tells Alex
his luck is going to change real soon.  She starts getting closer to him and
Jon encourages Alex to go with her, then the two of them head off to a 
secluded area with a payphone on the wall.

(SCENE 6): Vanessa and Alex kiss, she slides her dress off, he kisses and
sucks on her breasts, she gives him a rather sensual blowjob then bends over
a stool to receive it from behind.  Before anally penetrating her, he tongues
her asshole first.  They go on a few minutes more with anal sex and she goes
down to her knees to catch his load in her mouth (with a bit of swallowing, 
but mostly spitting out).

Vanessa and Alex, a seemingly new man, leave the bar together.  Jon tells a
burnt out Vic to go home and then T.T. enters the bar again heading for one
of the rooms.  When he can't find who he's looking for, he angrily grabs Jon,
yells at him asking where 'she' is (Stacy I assume) and threatens to cut him
up if he doesn't tell.  Suddenly, Jon's eyes turn red and he calmly (yet
evilly) says, "I don't control what goes on behind those doors.  YOU do".
Confused, T.T. tries another door and ends up in a jail cell with two sex
kittens (Juli Ashton and Emerald Estrada) who grab him and place him down on
a slab-like table.

(SCENE 7): Both girls look feline-like with slightly aggressive attitudes.
They are wearing latex outfits and have long streaks of make-up around their
eyes and continuing to their temples.  They start off with Emerald sitting on
T.T.'s face while he gets blown by Juli and then they switch after a while.
Emerald does a doggie and a mish and Juli does a good cowgirl before the weak
cumshot on Juli's asscheek.

Afterwards, the girls put baby powder on T.T.'s cock and dress him up in a
diaper (?).  He heads out of the bar, turning to Jon beforehand and saying,
"Thank you.  I feel so much better now" (??).

All alone, Jon claps his hands and a woman (Brooke Waters) appears sitting on
a stool, with an unlit cigarette in her mouth.  Jon takes a pack of matches,
sticks a single match out and lights it, passing it down to Brooke.  She 
lights up the cigarette and tells him, "Well that was impressive!  Thank 
you".  He gives her a drink on the house and she thanks him again, asking if
he charms a lot of the girls that stop by the bar.  He says he doesn't play
where he works and she wonders if it's because the women aren't interesting
enough for him.  He tells her not to put words in his mouth because he finds
her very interesting indeed and makes his way over to her and they get into it.

(SCENE 8): Brooke gives Jon a lengthy, eager blowjob.  She puts one knee up on
a stool and he plows her from behind.  Then she lays across two stools on her
back as they do a mish.  They get into the reverse cowgirl position later and
they end the scene with Jon cumming on Brooke's mouth.  A hot scene, Brooke
proves herself to be an enthusiastic enough performer to keep your eyes on.

This is how the movie ends: after Brooke disappears, some guy with long hair
(whose face you purposely can't see because of fog and a light behind him)
looks at Jon and tells himself, "So here's where he's been".  He tells Jon,
"You've been bad again, haven't you?  Time to go".  He extends his arm out,
letting a dog leash hang down from his hand and then he snaps his fingers
with his other hand.  Then, with a cool morphing segment, Jon turns into a
dog which leaps off the chair he (Jon) was sitting on and runs over to his
master.  They leave and everything in the bar disappears as if it was never
there to begin with.

Like I said, this whole movie doesn't make sense.  Boxcover goes to Juli 
Ashton, who looks decent but doesn't carry through strongly enough in this
movie.  You may be happy to know there are 8 scenes as promised on the box,
but you won't be happy if you'll be using the FF button through most of them.
There's some decent videography and music and the production values were good,
so Jon Dough has the basics (for typically standard porn) pretty much down 
pat.  However, the cast's performance wasn't nearly as top notch as it should
have been and as for writer Justin Sterling, he should spend more time jotting
down as many ideas as possible and writing stories with those that actually 
work.  Jon Dough looked none-too-pleased throughout the movie and had an air 
about his character that was grim and fierce (even T.T. Boy, who's usually 
macho-acting anyhow, didn't help matters any with his snarky personality here).
Most of the other characters seemed distant as well, just using eachother to 
get their quick fixes.  Overall, this movie needed a lot less "Attitude" and a
lot more time and effort.
