Welcome to the  Money March  finale. We've made it to the final on-screen appearance of Constance Money. What a beautiful month it's been. Title:  A Taste of Money Year:  1983 Starring:  Constance Money, Jamie Gillis, Sharon Mitchell, Paul Thomas Director:  Richard Mailer Synopsis:  Chronicling rising star Constance Money's emotional and sexual turmoil, the monumental release "A Taste Of Money" is a standout film indeed. An all-star cast has the unique experience of portraying their own personal roles in delighting the gray-eyed beauty. - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  It's the final on-screen appearance of Constance Money. "Will I taste the money again?" What a peculiar swan song this is. I'll admit, I don't really know all the behind the scenes reasoning for this movie's existence. I don't know what drew Constance Money back into the work. I don't know if this was meant to be some sort of revival of a career, if s...

Welcome back to Money March . Today we have a Double Feature. How exciting! Title:  Barbara Broadcast Year:  1977 Starring:  Annette Haven, Constance Money, C. J. Laing, Jaime Gillis Director:  Radley Metzger Synopsis:  In a restaurant in New York, the menu is unusual, with some sauces prepared by waiters on the spot. In this scenery, at another table, a reporter interviews a famous prostitute. - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  Constance Money is in chains and on a mirror. That's why. "Is it still a business doing pleasure with you?" So, right off the bat, the movie looks really good. the first thing noticeable about this film is the colour composition. Nails, lips and tongues are red and pink, but everything else is shades of complimentary greens and creamy earth tones. It is, however, the oral-y-ist of movies. Which is fine, I like some good oral but it feels kind of endless. The scenes go on and on and really, the movie's plot is just a series...

Welcome back to Money March! Today we continue with something that was meant to be so much more than what it is... Title:  Obsessed  (AKA Anna Obsessed) Year:  1977 Starring:  Constance Money, Annette Haven, John Leslie Director:  Martin & Martin Synopsis:  A psycho stalks and violates women at gunpoint. One woman is determined to stop him. - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  It's notorious for being hacked to bits. "Hello, beautiful." This is going to be a tough review because what I was presented was not the full film. Legend tells of an 82 minute cut of the movie Obsessed , where Constance Money is violated with a pistol, and scenes of her trauma are cut between moments of lovemaking. This movie has been cut and recut, re-released so many different times that now it's an abused, emaciated corpse of what it was meant to be. What the common plebeians, like I, are left with is a cut that is 75 minutes long. A near-incoherent hack-job of ...

Welcome back to Money March! Today we continue with one of the most famous porn films of all time... Title:  The Opening of Misty Beethoven Year: 1975 Starring:  Constance Money, Jamie Gillis, Jacqueline Beudant, Ras Kean, Terri Hall Director:  Radley Mitzger Synopsis:  Pornography meets Pygmalion. Misty, the hooker, meets the sexologist who thinks he can transform her from "the nadir of passion" into someone who inspires passion.- Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  One of the most beloved and renowned porno movies of all time. The movie that made Constance Money a star. "Never let the fact that they are doing it wrong stop you from doing it right." Well, here we are, the first Constance Money film I ever saw, and the film that made me a fan. Dr. Seymour Love finds a hooker who refuses to engage in exciting activities with her clients. The "Nadir of Passion", he's convinced he could make her into the next Goldenrod Girl, the talk of the to...

Welcome to Money March! where Lilith revels in the beauty and poise of the stunning Constance Money. First up, her screen debut: Confessions of a Teenage Peanut Butter Freak. Title:  Confessions of a Teenage Peanut Butter Freak Year:  1975 Starring:  Zachary Strong, Helen Madigan, John Holmes, Constance Money Director:  Zachary Strong Synopsis:  Sexual awakening of Billy, an inept teenager who undergoes a series of humiliating, but nevertheless arousing experiences. - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  It's the first on-screen appearance of Constance Money. "You better learn to join in instead of standing around watching with your hands in your pockets." This is a story about Billy, a young man who has a fetish for peanut butter and is extremely shy and awkward around girls. He goes on a date and the girl fantasizes about fucking him in the car with the most nefarious facial expressions. The date ends and we get the funniest part of the film. His dat...

Title: Immoral Tales Year: 1984 Starring: Lise Danvers, Paloma Picasso, Charlotte Alexandra, Fabrice Luchini, Florence Bellamy, Pascale Christophe Director: Walerian Borowczyk Synopsis: An erotic collection of short stories, an anthology comprised of tantalizing tales about sexual desire and its diverse manifestations. - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes: 2nd most popular French erotic film at time of release. "Those who touch the gown will know the meaning of eternal joy!" So, we all have a basic consensus around porn, right? What it is, and all that? Well, a while ago, people began to attach '-porn' to things that are over-indulgant. Gore-porn, misery-porn, costume-porn.. It's an easy descriptor to get one's point across. Immoral Tales is total costume and settings porn. It is a feast for the eyes. Too bad some of the stories don't deserve such luxury. Luckily, a few of them do. Unfortunately, Immoral Tales has a weak beginning with... The Ti...

Title:  Silver Shoes Year:  2015 Starring:  Liandra Dahl, Annabelle Lee, Joost Smoss Director:  Jennifer Lyon Bell Synopsis:   Three explicit erotic stories. First, Annabelle finds out about her friend Liandra's masculine side and Liandra seduces her. Then, Anabelle gets turned on by a piece of clothing. Finally, Liandra hooks up with her friend's guy friend. - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  Porn for women, by women, for belated Valentine's Day. "You're not going to have to do anything" Real sex is awkward. Real sex for the purposes of entertainment is also awkward because it pretends to be speaking to authenticity without really having much to say. Silver Shoes  is sort of like that? First of all, calm down; there is no hidden magic in these shoes. The shoes are barely even a plot device.  Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants  this is not. The film is broken down into three short stories. In Undressed, Annabelle goes to her friend...

Title:  Wasteland Year:  2012 Starring:  Lily Carter, Lily LaBeau Director:  Graham Travis Synopsis:  Two young women are best friends, but they go their separate ways. 5 years later they reunite when Anna visits Jacky. After Anna arrives the friendship is renewed and the young women soon take things to the next level. - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  Nominated for over 20 awards through various award shows. Recipient of 13 awards including Best Narrative at the LA Underground Film Festival, and several Best Actress awards for Carter and LaBeau.  "Always is boring and lonely and painful and scary." History. This movie and I have history. About half a decade ago, when I was refining my porn tastes, I searched out this film. I first saw it, fittingly, when I was on a trip to Arizona. It left me feeling...confused. The first shot of Wasteland  begins with Anna, played by Lily Carter, walking down a gritty walkway, bathed in shades of black...

Title:  A Clockwork Orgy Year:  1995 Starring:  Kaitlyn Ashley, Rebecca Lord, Isis Nile, Jon Dough Director:  Nic Cramer Synopsis:   Here's where droogs are still droogs, but their tonic is sex, not violence. Superstar Kaitlyn Ashley plays Alex, who is surrounded by fellow gangsters Isis Nile, hot Olivia and the French beauty Rebecca Lord, roam dingy alleyways in search for wanton sex. - Via IAFD.com Lilith's Notes:  Nominated for Best Film and Best Director at the 13th AVNs. Parodies a movie I love. "Viddy well, sisters, viddy well." In all my years of sneaky porn watching, I've never really delved into the world of parody porn. Other than this particular film, I've only seen a Batman one, which, don't worry, I'm sure I'll get around to talking about eventually. I was in desperate need of something to watch when I stumbled across this little gem. About seven seconds into the movie, I'd realized I'd seen it before, years ago....

Title:  Abigail Lesley is Back In Town Year:  1975 Starring:  Rebecca Brooke, Sarah Nicolson, Anne Keel Director:  Joseph W. Sarno Synopsis:  A seductive woman who left her small fishing town long ago, after being caught with another woman's husband, returns to shake up the place by seducing everyone, including the woman and her girlfriends. Lilith's Notes:  It co-stars Rebecca Brooke I posit that Rebecca Brooke was one of the most beautiful women to ever work in 70's erotic film. Possibly the second most beautiful woman. I have my personal favourite but that's a subject for a different review. In my review of The Image , I praised at length Brooke's ability to communicate a lot of ideas and feelings in her expressions. She was acting the hell out of that role. Here, she's mealy-mouthed and her jaw is constantly hanging open like a gawping fish. This movie had Brooke open-mouth fish gawping at every damn moment. I blame the director. What's ...

Welcome to the very first Lilith Likes to Watch Double Feature , wherein I take two movies that are similar in some way and talk about them. For this illustrious occasion I've chosen very special movies. One is an infamous skin-flick that made us laugh in shock and awe. The other is a little known time capsule of a famous woman's life. I hope you enjoy... Title:  Showgirls Year:  1995 Starring:  Elizabeth Berkley, Gina Gershon, Kyle MacLachlan Director:  Paul Verhoeven Synopsis:   Nomi, a young drifter, arrives in Las Vegas to become a dancer and soon sets about clawing and pushing her way to become the top of the Vegas showgirls.   - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  It is the highest grossing NC-17 film of all time. "You can't touch me, but I can touch you. And I'd really like to touch you." Ah, fame. Many want it, few people will achieve it. Movies love to tell tales about the rise and fall and resurrection of famous people. Porn and skin...

Title:  Cafe Flesh Year:  1982 Starring:  Andy Nichols, Paul McGibboney, Michelle Bauer Director:  Stephen Sayadian, Mark S. Esposito Synopsis:  In the aftermath of nuclear apocalypse, 99% of the survivors are Sex Negatives - they become violently ill if they attempt it. The minority Sex Positives engage in carnal theater for the entertainment of the Negatives at Cafe Flesh. - Via IMDB/Wikipedia Lilith's Notes:  Winner of the 84 AVN for best Art Direction. Richard Belzer from SVU is in it. Yes, really. "Our humble spectacle just might be able to almost make you feel..." There are two things that really get my goat. When a piece of entertainment bores me, or when a premise is introduced but they fail to execute it to it's full potential.  Cafe Flesh  falls into that second category. This movie begins with a wonderful idea. After a nuclear holocaust, most of the survivors are Sex Negatives, meaning they get sick if they try and fuc...

Title:  The Passions of Carol Year:  1975 Starring:  Mary Stuart, Kim Pope, Jamie Gillis Director:  Shaun Costello Synopsis:  X-rated adaptation of A Christmas Carol Lilith's Notes:  The very first hard core XXX adult film to open in a straight theater. "I know your purpose is to do me good." T'is the season, and it's harder than you'd think to find Christmas themed porno. So, since we're not spoiled for choice I decided to go with The Passions of Carol, a porno adaptation of   A Christmas Carol. At first I thought this film understood me. It opened with Carol of the Bells, which is, without question, my favourite Christmas song. It came with a good concept: Carol Scrooge is the owner of a lady's porno magazine and she's too, well, bitchy, for Christmas. Or something. It's not immediately obvious and the conceit of this movie is rather unclear. A man auditions to be in Carol's magazine and Carol and her secretary fuck him fo...

Title:  The Autobiography of a Flea Year:  1976 Starring:  Jean Jennings, John Holmes, Paul Thomas, Annette Haven, Joanna Hilden, Kinta (As Belle's dog) Director:  Sharon McNight Synopsis:  In 1810, a flea narrates the story of its host, an innocent girl abused and corrupted by an evil lusty priest in league with her vile old uncle and several other wicked men. - Via IMDB Lilith's Notes:  It's the first erotic film directed by a woman. "Spunk!" Welcome to the first ever Lilith Likes to Watch Deep Dive! Where in we not only watch the porno, but also consume material adjacent to it, be they novels, biographies, interviews or other reviews. This week we review The Autobiography of a Flea . I discovered this film because, basically I just read over Jean Jennings' IMDB page and saw the title. It was an unusual title so I investigated further. Not only did it have a strange title but it was based on a novel that's over 100 years old and it was the fi...
