Janine's Been Blackmaled

All the hype about Janine's first interracial scene that takes place in Janine's Been Blackmaled has overshadowed the most important thing about this Vivid movie: it's a pretty darn good adult feature. Directed by Vivid veteran Paul Thomas, it tells the story of a married couple (played by Janine and Julian) where the husband can only get off when his wife is the dominant partner. As a result, Janine has to stray to others for "normal" sex, which makes Julian very anxious and even more submissive in his marriage.

As the movie opens, we find out a little about the sexual relationship between Janine and Julian, as he is to jack-off while Janine fingers her ass. Even at work, Julian just can't score with the women...he's attracted to Eve Lawrence, his secretary, but when he offends her during a photo shoot, he has to get co-worker Chris Cannon to offer up his apology to her. By the time Julian musters up the strength to apologize on his own, it's too late - Chris is already starting to make the moves on Eve, and the two pair up for a coupling that begins on a flight of stairs and concludes on a nearby couch.

Julian has hired Evan Stone as a private investigator, and he delivers some pictures of Janine's infidelity to Julian. Julian confronts her with the photos, and it leads to a pairing between the two that includes Julian blindfolding her while pumping her in the doggy position. Even though Julian shows some aggressiveness during their pairing, it's obvious that Janine is still in charge of the relationship.

Back at work, Julian has the opportunity to get into a foursome with blondes Taylor Knight and Jamie Brooks, along with buddy Vincent Vega. But Julian wimps out again - leaving Vincent alone with the girls. Vincent takes turns pounding both gals - including giving doggy anal to Jamie - and the conclusion features a very nice cumshot, as he blasts onto both their faces.

Julian catches Janine naked with Cynthia Pendragon outside by a pool, and even the two women haven't been engaged in anything sexual, Julian accuses Janine of it - and then fucks Cynthia while Janine watches and plays with herself. This scene is followed by Janine remembering back to the encounter than Evan Stone had taken pictures of: her threesome with black studs Sean Michaels and Mr. Marcus, which begins in a convertible and eventually moves indoors to a couch.

Janine's interracial scene is everything it's been hyped up to be - in fact, it's one of the best scenes I've seen from the adult industry this year. Both guys take turns with her, with Janine usually sucking the other off while being penetrated by one of them. The climax is fantastic as well - as both Sean and Mr. Marcus come almost exactly at the same time - coating Janine's face with their sticky goo.

The movie ends with Julian asking Janine if she'll have a threesome with Evan, but when he arrives and Julian sees her cozying up to him in their bed, he can only watch as Janine and Evan go wild with each other, moving out of the bed and to the top of a nearby staircase, where Evan first fucks her standing doggy, then moves her to the floor for some hard-pounding missionary and cowgirl. When he's ready to cum, Evan stands above her and jerks down onto her tits.

Those who might lament the fact that Janine doesn't participate in any girl/girl action in this movie should be happy to hear that Vivid has included five all-girl Janine bonus scene in the extras section of this disc - with clips from the titles Amnesiac, Blondage 3, Temporary Positions, Vagablonde and Where The Boys Aren't 8. Also included is a 21-minute behind the scenes featurette; a slide show; and four trailers for other Vivid movies.

Janine's Been Blackmaled is one of the studios' best releases of the year, one of Paul Thomas' better-directed movies, and a must-have for any fan of Janine. Pick it up!

I got this film because I am a big Janine fan. The sex scenes are great, and Janine has loads of heat and sex appeal. She's fabulous!

However, I thought the production values were a bit short, especially for a Vivid title. There were boom mics in shots and there were times when the sound was just plain bad (mic scratches during dialogue at the beginning when Julian is talking to Janine) or just plain off. I also felt that the story wasn't established as well as it could have been, and if you watch for more than just jerk material, you didn't know what was going on at times.

I also wonder why, during the scene with Mr.Marcus and Sean Michaels, there is an odd "cut away" then you see Janine with her mascara running like she'd been crying. After the cut, the speed and pace of the sex is obviously toned down.

Overall, a good flick and Janine is all that! I'd still recommend it for every Janine fan.
