Brad Armstrong brings Jenna Jameson back where she belongs in
Hell on Heels, the all-girl feature from Wicked that marked the return of Jenna to adult movies after leaving the industry for a few years. While the style of this movie will no doubt be compared to that of Andrew Blake, no Blake movie I can recall has the heat of
Hell on Heels. Blake's movies tend to make the women erotic and sensual...Brad's vision is more naughty, nasty and downright sexy. Jenna appears in all seven of the movie's scenes, so unlike most of the features she has appeared in, you won't be suffering from "Jenna withdrawal" when watching this film.
One of the big appeals of this movie is the way the girls look. With a different (and usually, but not always, latex) outfit in every scene, and a different theme to each sequence, the viewer enjoys not only watching the beautiful women as they worship each other, but the costumes and backgrounds as well. The director of photography is listed in the credits as Jake Jacobs, while the Production Designer is listed as Rod Hopkins. The name Rod Hopkins is interesting, since this was the name that Brad used early in his career and may very well be a pseudonym for himself, or given as a pseudonym for the actual person who handled the design. Whomever these guys are in real life, they deserve equal credit with Armstrong for the look, appeal and success of this movie.
But let's not forget the real reason we are all tuning in - Jenna Jameson. It's not hard to figure out why she is one of the most popular, if not
the most popular stars in the history of the industry. She combines a sexy body, with a style in which she can play a sweet girl in one scene, a seductive woman in another, and a nasty slut in the next, and pull them all off with conviction. Not only does she look great on screen, but her mere presence in a scene enhances the performances of those around her, and makes them look equally as appealing.
Although there are no real disappointing scenes in
Hell on Heels, particularly if you love Jenna as much as most fans seem to, two specific scenes stand out as real winners. The first comes at the halfway point of the movie, and involves Jenna and Nikki Tyler in a take on the "Frankenstein" theme. Jenna is the body coming to life on the table, while Nikki plays the mad...but seemingly very horny...scientist. It takes a little work on Nikki's part to get Jenna up and running, but once she does awaken her, Jenna really gets into some hot action with Ms. Tyler.
The other scene that really stands out is the very next scene in the movie, which is a three-way between Jenna, Nikki and Felecia. All three of the girls are wearing corsets, gloves and hats, each in a different color, and all three of the women look incredibly sexy in their tight, and no doubt uncomfortable, outfits.
The audio and video of
Hell on Heels is top-notch, as we have come to expect from all Wicked DVDs. In this case, it was of particular importance that the audio be crisp and clear, since there is no dialogue in the film and the soundtrack basically sets the tone and mood for every scene. The DVD is also loaded with extras, including a behind the scenes look at the making of the movie, and a separate interview with Ms. Jameson. Jenna explains in the interview why she took a few years off from making adult movies, and why she has decided to return. Incidentally, according to the interview, Jenna is back for good this time around...one can only hope!
Although I have never been a big fan of either all-girl or the non-dialogue/non-plot type of porno movie, I must say that
Hell on Heels certainly changed my mind about this particular genre within the world of adult movies. Perhaps it was the classy outfits, perhaps it was Armstrong's direction, perhaps it was the presence of Jenna, or perhaps it was a combination of all of these, but one thing is for sure...
Hell on Heels certainly lit my fire!
