The movie Models harks back to the golden age of porn when a porn movie was more than just a sex scene separated by a few lines of dialogue spoken by terrible actors. Models is a complete story filled with eroticism that comes not only from the sex itself, but from the story, the characters, the situations, and the plot.
Models' director, Kris Kramski, has been able to bring to the screen a semi-realistic representation of what it's like behind the scenes of a nude picture shoot. It brings to life the trials and tribulations of the photographer, the make-up girl, assistants, and models. Whether the photographer is yelling at his assistant or fucking the shit out of her, he remains a complete asshole, and that's the way it should be.
I happen to be a big fan of Kris Kramski. Kramski is an up an coming director, and along with Brad Armstrong will hopefully be making some changes in this stale stagnant porn industry, and bring the porn movie back in the direction it was in the late 70's and early 80's when directors like Cecil Howard were crafting great porn movies like Babylon Pink and Neon Nights.
Another aspect of Kramski that I REALLY like is the fact that he will only work with women that have natural breasts. I think that is wonderful. I think it's time that we put an end to the silicone pumped up bitches with rocks for tits. I don't think that implants are always terrible, but I LOVE the real breast. Even if it's small at least it's real. I praise Kramski for the stand he took.
The sex in Models is good, however there is not enough of it. There are quite a few times where this movie feels like a really bad blowjob. Just as a scene starts to get going and you are getting into the action, the scene is either cut short or ruined by the story. There is one scene where the assistant is trying to fuck the photographer and starts playing with herself under her clothes to try and turn him on. Just as I was getting into the idea of her cuming right there in front of him, the photographer stops her and yells at her to get back to work.Fuck!!!
Kramski's only flaw is that he sometimes forgets that he is making a porn
movie and that in the end all the viewer really wants to do is jerk off to it. When a director forgets this aspect, it often leaves the viewer with a hard dick in his hand and a look of bewilderment his face. In a porno you want there to be fucking, and lot's of it.
One of my favorite scenes in the movie is with Katie Gold. She plays an eighteen year old model that the photographer is using for some erotic pictures featuring a young girl. When she comes in her is at first really rude to her, because of the bad day he has been having. He then calls her over pulls down her pants and proceeds to eat her out while still yelling at his staff to get to work. He then takes some nude pictures of her; while the film in the camera is being changed, he fucks her and then lets his assistant fuck her. This scene I have watched many times, it really gets me off.
Models is filled with beautiful women. Not one of the women here isn't between very very cute and drop dead gorgeous. I like this movie and have watched it a few times without growing tired of it. I have also recommended it to my friends. I may have little problems with the movie here and there, but in the end there is enough great shit in this movie that it will keep you quite interested. - Piston Rod

Review Key:Reviewed on a scale of 1-5 stars. OVERALL, SCRIPT, EDITING - self explanatory. SEX - the amount and quality of. ACTING - can be actually good, or good in a bad way, in the sense that it is so bad it is entertaining. J.O.P. - Jerk-Off Potential. FAST-FORWARDING - the urge to hit that FF button, be it during dialog, rehashed sex-scenes, whatever. The more stars, the less fast-forwarding. EDITING - somewhat related to fast forwarding. Do they show a ball shot for too long? The same angle for an eternity?
