Janine: Extreme Close-Up

This DVD is all Janine, baby!! True fans will love it- personally- I loved it. I adore Janine, I think she is what all woman want to be- graceful, beautiful, lean, tight, tall, sensual, and erotic. What attracted me to Janine in the very beginning was her dancing. I watched Blondage and it really got my juices flowing. Her facial expressions in her dancing as well as her love making show us the passion she is feeling at that exact moment, with crystal clarity. The interview pieces are well done, offering us not only the pleasure of seeing her work, but hearing her inner thoughts on a variety of subjects. She addresses many issues including the issue over her decision to be with only women in her films. (She also has a message for all the people who criticize her for it.) She explains her thoughts and feelings toward both sexes, for both the mental and physical sides.

The first chapter features her dancing, featuring some of her work, as she tells us about how she started out and describing her relationship with Blondage co-star Julia Ann. She goes on to tell us how she met Chelsea, followed by a scene done with her. They definitely have some chemistry! The scene also includes Bobby Vitale, though he does not touch Janine. It starts with Janine rubbing her body up and down against Chelsea, soft and sensually. She slowly strips her out of her clothes, touching every inch of exposed skin before moving to the next article. She drops to her knees, running her hands over Chelsea's arms, her stomach, and her thighs. When Bobby comes over to try to get in on things, she grabs him by his hair, and pushes him away, making it clear he was not welcome to join. Janine turns her attention back to Chelsea, leaning back against the mirrored wall, spreading her thighs. Taking her hand and wetting it a bit, she reaches forward to rub Janine's pussy, as she reaches her lips up to suck on a nipple. Chelsea soon slides down and buries her face in Janine's pussy. They move to a 69 (Chelsea on top) where Janine fingers her. Watching these ladies play is absolutely amazing. They both love what they doing as much as they love having it done to them. When Bobby comes back over to claim Chelsea, Janine plays with herself as she watches them. (We get the multi-angled feature during this!) I am not giving out a lot of detail about the sex, as if you enjoy Janine, you will want to be surprised.

We move on to a wonderful scene with Jon Dough and Jill Kelly giving Janine a rub down. The duo massage every inch of her body down to her toes before Jill finally sucks on her pussy. Jon is present, but he is dressed, playing with Janine's nipples as Jill sucks on her. Janine is going wild on the table as she continues. Things progress as Jon unzips, pulling out his cock for Jill to suck on. She goes between the two, licking Janine, then sucking Jon for a few minutes. The shot blends to a new position, Janine is bending over, with a dildo in her pussy. Jill has a vibrator in her ass, just a bit. Jill works it in deeper and deeper as Janine grunts and growls, bucking against it. Jon enters Jill from behind as Janine grabs a handful of her hair, at the nape of her neck, holding her head firmly back. (I love that, I love that, I love that!! MMmm... gives me shivers just thinking about it!) Jill drops to her knees, sitting at Jon's feet, getting ready to finish him off. Janine is kissing him, as Jill gets the facial for the end. But the camera does not stop. We continue to watch what really happens after they finish. (I laughed as Jon tried to answer the questions being tossed at him. The man- just a MOMENT before- had a incredible orgasm, and they want him to give intelligent answers.) Everybody seems happy and satisfied.

We are introduced to Tatiana, who has never been with a woman before. She sits stiffly on the chair, extremely uncomfortable with the camera. Janine talks with her, asking questions and engaging her in conversation, trying to get her to relax. Finally, Janine decides to get started, thinking foreplay might calm her a bit. Janine is fabulous, sensual and gentle, but Tatiana sits stiffly. She tells her that she is going to blindfold her. I think this is a great idea! It still doesn't help. Janine has her stand, touching her softly like she has never been touched before. When the scene fades out, I wonder if she is going to stay this rigid. She doesn't. I don't know what they did in between, but it worked! Now, they are outdoors, with the sun shining in the background. Tatiana is finally enjoying herself, relaxing for us. She is laying on her back, sucking on one of Janine's nipples. She is asked if she would like to lick Janine's pussy. When the camera pans in, I held my breath, anxious to see her first attempt. She was curious, but did well. She was very gentle, pushing deeper as she explored. Janine takes her by her hair, guiding her along. It is a beautiful experience. She loved it, but was a bit timid. They kiss deeply, as Janine guides two of Tatiana's fingers into her pussy. Tatiana takes right to it, thrusting and sucking on Janine's clit. She certainly knows how to move those fingers! Janine pulls out a vibrator, looks coyly at Tatiana, cocks her head and says, "May I?" Tatiana leans over as Janine slides it in her pussy. She fucks her with it, lightly teasing her clit as she fucks her. After a few minutes, they stop briefly. Janine clears her throat and announces to us that they are going to "attempt" some anal action. Tatiana has never done it before, but is eager to try another new experience. Janine lubricates it very well before she slides the tip in. She stops, asking her if she is okay, then slides a bit more in. It does not take long at all before Janine is sliding two or three inches in, then back out again. Tatiana looks over her shoulder, her eyes wild with passion. You can see she is amazed at her own reaction. This scene sizzles with sensuality. I love first time experiences to be beautiful and wonderful times, just like this. The eroticism of watching a woman truly be pleasured by another for the first time is just incredible. Janine is gentle, coaxing, and very careful to watch her reactions- she is a very considerate lover. The multi angles pop up making an awesome scene even better. Tatiana loves what Janine is doing; she moans as Janine slides a finger in her pussy, intensifying the experience. When it is all over, she is questioned about the experience. Drawing details from her, we learn what it was like for her first time. She talks about her first anal action, her first taste of a woman, and her overall thoughts.

We turn to mutual masturbation scene with Steven St. Croix. They are sitting in a car, the audio is music, and we do not hear their conversation. Janine is flirting, exposing a little skin, and flaunting herself as she laughs and talks with him. She gets bolder every minute, as she spreads her thighs to give us a peek at her pussy. She gets in the back seat, where she puts on a little show for him. She then strips to her garter and black stockings as she prances around. She doesn't do anything to him, but she teases him with her body, brushing up against him or posing to show him her perfect ass. Janine is an incredible flirt, and the camera loves it and shows it well. I just love her grace and her confidence.

The interview comes back, as Janine talks about the possibility of doing men in the future for the camera. She also talks about her first experience. She reveals some details that help us understand her a little more. She is honest with herself and us in her answers. She talks about her anal scenes, telling us that anal brings out her animalistic side. She likes the primal wanting she feels with it. Her own sexuality has changed and she is just going whereever it takes her.

The next scene looks like it was fun to film. Janine is on a bed, where she pours over her body from several positions. She rolls around, playing with herself, a man comes over to crush and squish a watermelon over her body. You watch as the sticky fluid coats her body, making it glisten. She has a blast grinding and humping her hand. She tosses from one end tothe other, getting even more of the liquids on her. All I can tell you is I would LOVE to have been there to lick her clean!

We end with a final interview piece. She openly discusses her new sexuality. She is curious to see where she is headed next. She talks about men as lovers, describing what it is about men that keeps her coming back for more. She gets excited, maybe even aroused as she tells us that she wants to feel a mans power, and his strength while having sex. She reveals that she loves to have her hair pulled at the nape of her neck, to be "taken," and conquered. She growls with frustration, slamming her fists on the bed in frustration. She then talks about meeting men when she is dancing. She tells us that when she's giving you "the eye," don't hesitate- go approach her. She laughs as she lies on her bed, propped on one arm. She grins and says that men should not be afraid to talk to her. She also has a lot of discomfort in approaching a guy. My advice to you is to listen to her parting words if you are out some night, and see her giving you "the eye."

"So- come on! Come and get me!"

Nobody does girl/girl like Janine. She brings a sensuousness, honesty and sincerity to girl/girl that other actresses would do well to emulate. I was fascinated to learn during her movie interview that she's never had an emotional relationship with a woman, and that's she's only had relationships with men. It only made me love her more.

There's a great scene where Janine performs erotic dancing in a bar for a cute girl patron, which leads to a great scene and eventual three-way interlude in the back room with Bobby Vitale. My girlfriend, who watched the movie with me (she's a big Janine fan too) fantasized about visiting a nude bar for months after.

Someday when Janine sorrowfully retires, maybe Vivid will bring us some compilation tapes of her work. I'm sure they would be awesome.

The DVD contains a few good scenes hidden throughout
the various environments. Menus are straight foward. Multi-angles
are not enabled for every scene. I can only recall a short
period that the multi angle could be used. 3-D navigation is sort of
cheesy. Most of the scenes are from other movies.
Only purchase this one if you like Janine!
