Director: Jim Holliday

Plot: With An Ass Like Hers..Time Stands Still. Sultry Kylie Ireland plays a primadonna porn star who won't do an anal scene. Borrowing liberally from Charles Dickens, Jim Holliday introduces three ghosts to convince Kylie that butt-banging is the super chick thing to do on the big blue screen. In the process, we're privy to a whole mess of anal action as only Le Holliday can deliver. The ghosts influence Kylie to the extent that a happy ending is enjoyed by all. If you catch the drift.

The rest:I had really high hopes for this film. Kylie is one of my favorite actresses, and rarely does anal, and Jim Holliday normally does a very enjoyable adult film. Kylie does a great job acting in Timeless, and Jim has a good story to work with, however it isn't enough to bring it to the quality it should be.

The fault here lies with the editing of the film. I felt that there were way too many close - ups. Once the first starlet gets fucked in the ass, the camera barely moves away from the close up. There is horrible continuity in many of the scenes. In one scene, a guy will be fucking away on the actress's pussy, and then the angle changes and the guy will be fucking her in the ass. This wouldn't be a problem, but in at least one scene, the shot of him inserting his cock into her ass is half way through the anal portion of the scene. The other thing that was distracting was that in the group scenes, the video would be of one couple going at it, while the audio would be of the other couple. This seemed like a bad way to cover up the audio not synching with the video, as normally you couldn't hear the couple the camera was focusing on. Also, there's a scene of Jim Holliday telling a pony tailed guy to cut it since they aren't going to be in the future. It seems just kind of stuck there without any bearing to the story. I'm not sure why we would really care.

That aside, there are a lot of good things with the film also. Kylie does one of her best acting jobs yet, and the story is quite well done. The idea behind Dicken's Christmas Carol fits great here, as the ghosts show Kylie what happened with the main adult film starlet of 3 different decades. There was some amusing attention to detail in the fashions of each decade, such as the lace gloves worn by the women in the 80s. I also enjoyed the attention payed to toes in the sex scenes. They can be a very sensuous body part, and are normally completely ignored. Other than the continuity, the sex scenes are very well done, and there is some excellent acrobatics in the first scene. There are some very amusing scenes, such as Ron Jeremy telling Kylie about how he died: a spark lit his back hair on fire. In addition to Ron Jeremy, many other adult film stars make cameo appearances, such as Sharon Kane.

Overall, Timeless is better than the average adult film. The story is very enjoyable, although the continuity lacks, and the acting is quite good. The cast is better than average looking, and has good chemistry. This would be a good choice for a couples film, providing neither person was squeemish about anal sex.
