I rented this movie, yeah I rented a Vivid title, and I must say it was a confusing movie to watch. I haven't seen the original so I didn't have anything to base my opinion on other than this movie. I knew Jenna was the "devil" and that was about it,lol. But I was very impressed with Savanna Samson who plays Miss Jones in this. I mean this woman had to display some acting ability to convincingly portray this character and I really thought she pulled it off beautifully. The best sex scenes for this movie also featured Savanna I thought with her poolside fuck being my top choice follwed by her tryst with Jenna but that one comes right before the big revealing to Savanna by Jenna's character. It was my first full feature movie that I actually watched all the way through and it was due to Savanna's performance. She seems so confused through the whole movie about what was going on and what was reality in this movie I never fully got a grasp on. I think once we get the big reveal by Jenna to Savanna then the story kinda came into place for me but repeated viewings would help me I think. So I'm curious as to what others will think so I started this thread. I should mention Georgina Spelvin makes a couple cameos in this and she was the original Miss Jones. Paul Thomas undertook this movie and he's got some interesting comments in the bts about being initially unsure if Savanna could do this because she was so openly sexual but he came away utterly impressed with her job and I suspect she'll get a nom for Best Actress at this years AVN's and it will be fully deserved from what I saw. Jenna also came away impressed with Savanna. This won't swing me over to features but I came away very impressed with Savanna Samson and I didn't go into watching this with any expectations along those lines so in that respect it was a very worthy rental for me.

I should add I hadn't seen Savanna much if at all before this as I don't normally watch Vivid but she was very good both acting and fucking, would love to see her take on Manuel or Steve Holmes, maybe she has in her Vivid work and someone can point those scenes out to me.

You should really watch the original sometime, Bono, good for your education .
I'll have a look at the new one when we get it, just out of curiosity. As a classics fan I am usually not impressed with remakes.

Bono-one,

Seems like you weren't overall impressed with the movie but were pretty impressed with Savanna Samson's performance.

The original is one of the greatest adult films ever made. I haven't seen the remake yet as the store I pre-ordered it at hasn't shipped yet.

Even Vivid recognized the importance of the original and shelled out a decent sum of money to VCX, Ltd to have the original film in the New Devil in Miss Jones release.

It's too bad that Vivid didn't recognize the importance of the original enough to pass on doing a remake. When The Devil In Miss Jones came out it was the most hardcore film ever. There was nothing to even compare it to. It made Deep Throat look like a kiddies cartoon. I don't think a truly proper new version could even be made in our existing political climate, but in order to keep its cutting edge credibility it would have to consist of sex acts rarely shown before. This isn't like the Dark Bros. updating the legend with numbered titles, but even they pushed the envelope in 3&4. I can't see a glamorous, enhanced blonde as Justine Jones. Did Vivid ever consider how brilliant the casting of Georgina Spelvin in that part was? I can't envision condoms in hell, unless that's somebody's version of hell. I was actually considering buying this film because they were giving away the original as part of the package. I guess this makes a classic safe for the Motel 6 crowd.

Good point, picman.

I was initially curious about this effort, but considering it's been announced nearly two years ago, I frankly lost all interest. Another example of "brilliant" marketing from Vivid.

I wouldn't mind seeing the original at some point but it wouldn't be for pleasure. I just think porn made today is much more to my liking than something made in the 70's. I can grant you it's importance as a movie but the quality of the sex I just don't see comparing to what is possible to be filmed today. It's like comparing eras in sports almost. I think it's great to appreciate what came before, no doubts about that but when it comes to do actually watching sex on film then it's a no doubter for me, I'll take todays porn/ girls over yesteryear.

I don't understand this logic. Do you lose interest in mainstream films that are announced a few years before they come out as well? Or do you just wish that all adult films are rushed out as quick as possible with no regard to quality?

Picman, have you actually seen the film yet or are you just making blanket statements without having seen the film?

Being a Vivid movie shouldn't this thread be in the The Feature Side section?

A friend of mine recently dropped off a stack of early 80 porn VCR tapes and I popped a few in the other day when my wife was around so I could get her opinion on it. We both thought the main difference between the older porn and the modern porn is that the sex action in the older movie seemed more realistic.

During the blowjob scenes, the guys weren't forcibly grabbing her head and shoving it to his cock to the point of making gurgling and gagging sounds come out of her mouth. The guys basically just let her do the work on his cock and boy did they ever do such fine jobs on their own!

The women seemed to REALLY enjoy what they were doing. It wasn't like they were posing for the camera. The moans and screams seemed to be real and not the repetitive high pitch squeaking we hear in some of the modern porn. I'm not saying women today don't enjoy it, but this was just our observation off a small sample size of a few old movies.

I can enjoy both, but I have a very hard time finding modern porn my wife and I can enjoy together. I have no problem occasionally popping in a flick that goes straight to hardcore fucking and sucking, but my wife does and wants more than that. And now that I have a stack of older movies I've never seen, I'm really anxious to start viewing them and my wife seemed to be very receptive to that idea

I can't compare it to mainstream cinema from this angle. I don't impose the same requirements on porn, as I do on my mainsream movies. Unlike average Hollywood film, I also can't expect to catch it on TV ..eventually..

I don't watch porn features exclusively and I have very limited budget for porn. Since porn is also a very fast-moving market, I'm practically always confronted with the hard decision of what to buy/rent considering there are a lot of choices. So yes, when I learned about the re-make, it got my attention, and I was ready to purchase it if only because of emotional sentiments -- I liked the original a lot. Don't think I'll be buying it now though. My congnitive self has taken over my emotional self..

What makes you think time gurantees superior quality? Some great porn vids were shot in a week... some even in a day or two.

To keep this topic from going off track, I've created a thread here on the subject of release times of feature films.

I'm gonna throw this one up here and see where it leads. For one I know I'll be assaulted by the stance I take, but that's nothing new.

I think a lot of people lost interest in this film because it took so long to be released. It wasn't a lack of anything except as Zoid said it took too long to be released. I mean it could have gone against the grain like the original and cast people completely against what they've been seen in the past, but (I'm getting ready to duck here) they relied solely on the fact that Jenna Jameson was in it to push a winner.

To me it has the same effect as many of her films, as well as a certain Evil Angel film that is FINALLY getting released, which one of the fans here has been screaming about since I got on this forum. If you wait too long you will lose many people who wanted to see it and held a geninue interest as opposed to those who just wanted the typical eye-candy flick. Lets not even mention the fact that it was one of the more pivotal adult films of all-time.

I mean no matter who starred in it this remake could be compared to one of Behind the Green Door . Does anyone here believe a remake of that film wouldn't sink as fast as Britney Spears' last albumn? It is NOT as easy as casting a high profile star in a film that will get it done when more than a third of those on this forum have seen the original and no matter their age enjoyed the hell out of it! I mean why don't you just try to remake The Godfather with the same blind intentions and see where that gets you.

I like the original Devil In Miss Jones more as an art film then as a sex film. I think the story and acting are very well done. I like the music so much that I bought the Devil In Miss Jones record. I believe the music sounds classical and adds to the atmosphere of the movie. Georgina Spelvin was not the original choice to play Miss Jones. She got the part when the first actress didn't pan out. Ironically, the new Miss Jones (Savanna Samson) is closer to what was originally intended. I believe Georgina Spelvin was the ideal choice to potray Miss Jones. Through her acting, she makes you believe that her character was a virgin until the place between heaven and hell lets her experience sex for the first time.

I liked that the sequel went from a serious drama to a comedy that had a romance between Miss Jones and the Devil. Devil In Miss Jones 2 is a really good couples movie. Gregory Dark made the next 2 movies in a raunchy way. The Vanessa del Rio gangbang scene was a highlight. I like that each movie did something different and didn't just repeat itself. I will look forword to seeing the Jenna Jameson version.

The lesbian scenes were good, the rest wasn't.
This is a fantasy type flick, condoms killed this movie along with lackluster performances in the non-lesbian scenes.
I think Vivid should have been able to find a way around using condoms for a Devil In Miss Jones movie. It totally killed it for me.

Bono:

I saw this fantastic movie yesterday.And I agree with you, Savanna really impressed me with her performance.This is without doubt her best acting performance ever imo.When it comes to the sex she`s always been great, I already knew that, so no surprise.Bono, you should try:

Be With Me-She has a beautiful b/b/g scene in it.

Savanna Superstar-A must for every Savanna fan, she even does a small gangbang in this.

I think the movie was really good.I loved the dark atmosphere in it, and I even thought the music was pretty good( and that is rare imo )
