Reviewed by astroknight  on  10/3/2003

Running Time: 102 min.

Production Date: 04 / 1999

Director: Nick Orleans

Cast: Gina Ryder, Charlie, Alicia Stone, Julie Meadows, Linda Storm, Salina del Ray, Teri Starr, Cheyne Collins, Dante, Evan Stone, Jack Hammer, John West, and Tony Tedeschi

Initial Expectations: The little I’ve seen of this one in Adam & Eve’s compilations has been pretty good. I’m looking forward to this one.

Initial Reaction: There’s nice chemistry, but the camera work normally holds the scene back.

Who Should Watch It : Couples wanting something light but sexy

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants extremely tame sex

Audio /Video Quality: The audio is okay at best. It’s often a little off balance, as well as a little hollow. The video is pretty good for the age of the feature and the DVD. There’s a little grain, but not too much, and the lighting is decent.

Music: The music is pretty typical porn music. The style varies a little in places, but never too much, and it’s always on the loud side.

Menus: The menus are anything but impressive. The main menu is unanimated, and the chapter menu lets you choose a scene based on a still from each scene.

The Feature: Gina Ryder plays a well known artist who’s been struggling recently. She has many friends who are supportive of her, and when one of them sends her a package of body paints. As she plays with them and watches her friends play with them, her creativity comes back to her.

Gina Ryder starts things out diddling herself. She works on herself with a natural contours vibe before letting her fingers do a little of the work. Things finally end by just ending. No interrupts, no nothing. The scene just ends.

This scene leaves me a little torn, but not much. Part of me wants to dislike the scene because the scene seems to almost be stuck in a rut. Gina just works on herself with her toy and fingers without ever changing a position. On the other hand, Gina keeps things moving extremely well and looks really into it. It ends up a nice masturbation scene that shows what a great actress Gina Ryder is.

Julie Meadows and Cheyne Collins get it on next. Julie sucks Cheyne’s shaft while giving him some great eyes after he paints her up so she can model for him. Cheyne tongues her twat in reciprocation before boning her missionary and doggie style. He moves on to spear Julie’s sphincter from behind as well as missionary style before finally decorating her stomach.

As usual, Julie makes this scene a joy to watch. She gets into the scene nicely both with her energy as well as her enthusiasm, and frequently has a smile on her face. This makes the scene a lot of fun to watch, and reminds me why I first became a fan of Julie so long ago.

Charlie and real life partner Dante get it on in the third scene. Dante paints Charlie up a little while Gina Ryder watches and draws them, before Charlie grabs a brush herself. She paints Dante up before they exchange oral favors. Charlie rides Dante before turning around and letting him spear her from behind. Charlie also lets Dante spear her rear before stroking him onto her tits.

This is a nicely done scene. Charlie and Dante have the great chemistry one would expect from a real life couple, and also put some nice energy into the scene. My only complaint about the scene is that you never get to see both Charlie getting her ass fucked and her reaction at the same time.

Masked Evan Stone and John West take on Teri Starr in the fourth scene. They play around a little before Teri drops down to suck both guys. They exchange oral favors before fucking, where Teri takes it in each of her holes. She finsihes things up taking a nice pop from the guys on her tits.

This is a pretty different scene. It’s done all in blue tints, and comes off extremely artistic. Unfortunately, the artistic feeling kills some of the heat of the scene, and it ends up as a pretty average scene.

Next up, Gina Ryder and Linda Storm experiment with body paints. Linda starts painting Gina’s arms, which of course, gives Gina the urge to start removing the few clothes she has on. Linda decides her fingers and tongue would be better on Gina than the paint, and soon starts working on Gina naturally. This appears to be the antidote for the paint, as it seems to disappear almost as soon as Linda’s tongue touches Gina’s twat. They masturbate for each other a little, and then move to a sixty nine before settling back and masturbating with vibrators and then finishing things off with a kiss.

It’s a pretty good scene, especially if you like watching girls masturbate for each other. If you’re looking for girls working on each other, however, you’ll probably be pretty disappointed.as Gina and Linda don’t really do much to each other.

Gina Ryder takes on Jack Hammer in a dream for the next scene. Gina draws a Pan-like Jack Hammer out of the woods so she can suck his cock. She takes time to work it over slowly, and doesn’t shy away from giving his balls a little attention as well. She takes Jack’s dick droppings on her augmented chest to finish things off.

It’s a pretty good scene, and I’m thankful Jack was partially covered by makeup. It feels a little odd compared to some of the other scenes here, but being a dream scene does work okay.

Tony Tedeschi puts the hard sell on, or maybe more accurately in, big tittied bleached blonde Salena del Ray after Salena comes in to look at Gina’s artwork and insists on a little personal attention. Salena strips Tony down and goes to work mouthing his member with nice energy. Tony tongues Salena’s holes before fucking her missionary style on his desk while they whisper dirty talk to each other. Tony also bangs Salena from behind before she tit fucks him and lets him stroke his feelings for her onto her big fat titties.

This is a very likeable scene despite the camera work not being the best. I think Salena looks about as good as I’ve ever seen her here, and she frequently has a smile that covers her entire face. She and Tony have nice chemistry as well as great energy, and it makes this a scene that survives despite its faults.

Gina Ryder leads an orgy with Evan Stone, Salena Del Ray, Linda Storm, and Alicia Stone for the final scene. Evan and Gina get it on as Salena watches and masturbates. He starts out eating her pussy and then lets her work on his cock orally. As they get to know each other much better, Alicia and Linda work each other over orally, and then share a strap-on by the bar. The action moves back and forth between the two couples, while also giving Salena a bit of attention. Evan works Gina through a few of the standard positions, and starts to pull off the plastic outfit Gina had painted on while she’s in the missionary position. Ironically, almost as soon as Evan’s done, he applies another coating, this one much whiter and runnier, across Gina’s stomach. The girls have a wet finish also, as the older blonde squirts all over the strap-on.

This is a good scene, but it concentrates a bit much on the close-up of Evan fucking Gina. The action is nicely balanced between Gina and Evan fucking and Linda and Alicia fucking, with Salena playing an interesting role as the observer who doesn’t join in much, but does get involved. Once again, there’s limitations to the scene but the cast does a good enough job that you can get past them.

Skintight is a decent couples movie. There isn’t much of a story, and it’s thin enough that I wouldn’t recommend trying to follow it. The sex, however, is well worth following. Each scene has very nice chemistry and a believable energy level. The cast obviously gets into the scenes, but never takes things so far that they become unbelievable. Gina Ryder does a great job as the central character here, and takes on the guys just as well as the girls. The biggest problem with the feature is the camera work. It strongly favors close-up shots, and I don’t. I frequently wanted a different camera angle, and things stayed the way they were enough that I did get frustrated a couple times during the movie. Skintight is a nice porno that isn’t afraid to let the sex go where it wants to, but the camera work holds it back from what it might have been.

Extras: Trailers are included for Fire & Ice, Turquoise Blue, Infinite Bliss, Touch, Naked Truth, Serenade, Search for the Snow Leopard, A Slave to Fashion, which are readily available on DVD and The Ultimate Xperience and The Ultimate Xperience 2, which never seem to have found their way onto DVD. The photo gallery contains about a dozen nice looking snapshots.

Themes: Straight, masturbation, group, masturbation, anal, lesbian, toys, oral, and rimming (male > female)

Condoms Usage: 100%

Raincoat Factor: High

Overall: Currently, Adam & Eve’s DVDs can be found online for between $8 and $25, with several stores offering this line of DVDs for under $10. This one isn’t too bad for that price. It’s an older title, so there isn’t much for extras, but the video looks very good. The movie itself is nice and light for the most part, but does let the sex get a bit dirty when it wants to.

Note to Adam & Eve: It’s great to see just how far you’ve come since this title was released! Thank you for keeping this title very affordable with how limited it is.
