The New Devil in Miss Jones

The Hype:

From AVN, “5 A’s… the Perfect Film!” Won from the 2006 AVN Awards Show: Best Film, Best Actress Film (Savanna Samson), Best Supporting Actress Film (Jenna Jameson), Best Director (Paul Thomas), Best Editing (Film), Best Art Direction (Film), Best Cinematography, Best All-Girl Sex Scene (Film) Jenna Jameson & Savanna Samson

My Initial Thoughts:

I was totally ecstatic about this movie and not just because of the massive hype. I knew that the original Devil in Miss Jones was groundbreaking for the adult industry. This newest version stars Jenna Jameson as the “The Devil, “a part that I felt she would be perfectly suited for. Plus, the trailer looked really juicy…so I was primed and ready. I never actually saw the original and when I found out that the remake was coming out, I made a definite point to NOT watch it either.

What You’re Really In For:

If you’re familiar with the original, this one is a bit complicated…story wise, which it is heavy on. It seemed as though Paul Thomas wanted you to understand where Justine Jones (Savanna Samson) was at, mentally and physically, throughout her sexual journey.

You’ll be treated to 7 lustful sex scenes containing vaginal sex, anal sex, double penetration, lesbian strap-on sex, lesbian sex, ffm threesome, mfm threesome, bondage, oral sex, rimjobs, sex toys, voyeurism, exhibitionism, piercing of the breasts, threesome in an alley, heterosex in a pool, lesbian sex outside, 2 scenes that take place in a basement.

Basic Storyline:

Justine Jones (Savanna Samson) is a virgin that commits suicide. Before she crosses over and takes her rightly spot in hell, the Devil (Jenna Jameson) gives her a chance to live one last day full of sex and lust.

What I Liked:

I have to give all the actors in this movie major kudos, especially Savanna and Jenna. They were both in roles that relied very heavily on their ability to transform themselves completely into their characters…and that they did! Terrible acting in this movie would have really killed it, so thankfully the both stars were top notch.

The sex scenes were ALL hot. There wasn’t one sex scene that I felt the need to grab the remote and fast forward through. The New Devil in Miss Jones offers you a lot of scenes that last a good amount of time, so you can get frisky before all the hot action ends.

Hottest Scenes Angelica Sin and Roxanne Hall tie up Dick Smothers Jr. in, what I think is, the basement of an office building. They tease and taunt him and treat him to a very enticing blow job…but that’s as much pleasure as they’re willing to give him. After that, it’s time for the girls to masturbate for him and play with each other with all kinds of toys while he watches, still bound, desperately wanting to touch them. The actual sex wasn’t the only hot thing in this scene; it was Angelica and Roxanne’s dirty talking to Dick throughout the entire scene that got me wet. I have not seen either of them before, but I look forward to seeing them both again, especially if the filthy talk is present in all their movies…I’m a big fan of the filthy talk.

Anyway, the last scene also kept my attention. This is a huge orgy in an apartment. Savanna gets heavily involved in bondage, her breasts get pierced with needles…but it’s the last part of the scene that really got me. Savanna joins Mario Rossi and Anthony Hardwood in the bedroom for some major threesome action. This is the big scene at the end where she takes a serious double penetration. It was so hot in that she was so lost in what she was doing and what she wanted and she was begging for them to do it to her. She couldn’t get enough. It wasn’t a dirty/filthy scene but rather erotic instead.

A Pleasant Surprise The original star of Devil in Miss Jones, Georgina Spelvin, made a guest appearance as the Devil’s maid…She did a terrific job with it and I thought it was wonderful of Paul Thomas to make her part of this project.

What I Didn’t Like:

As I said above, I made a point to NOT watch the original Devil in Miss Jones before the new release because I wanted to review this movie on its own…that’s what my readers want to know about…”what does THIS particular movie have to offer?” I found the storyline to be very confusing. I knew that in the original Justine somehow makes a deal with the devil to experience a life full of lust and that’s what she does. I wasn’t sure what led up to that deal or anything else. Unfortunately, I was rather confused by the storyline in The New Devil. It seemed as though the storyline is supposed to be more artistic than literal, but at some points I really didn’t understand what was going on…was Justine dead, alive? In this newest release, it seemed as though Justine’s character had no clue what was happening to her throughout the entire movie. She was getting involved in all these sexual adventures but she always started out in a panic about them and didn’t know whether she should enjoy them or not. Her anxiety became somewhat annoying after a while; it was well played which is why she was annoying, but annoyed is not an emotion I want to feel when watching porn.

I watched this movie with my boyfriend and a guy friend. Since I wasn’t the only one that was confused at various times, we popped in the DVD of the original Devil right after. We couldn’t resist, besides, it comes with movie as part of the extras. What we found was that the storyline in the original is very clear and straightforward…the viewer can clearly see and understand that Justine commits suicide and then before going to hell, she speaks to the Devil and requests one final day to live like she never did…full of lust. So there…the premise is totally set, up front and then we’re very easily taken from one really hot sex scene to another. So all in all, I wasn’t really a fan of the storyline.

Overall Thoughts

This highly anticipated movie was a somewhat of a letdown for me, story wise. Yes, the sex scenes were hot and I was even able to pull out some that really tickled my fancy. However, the important element of this movie, I believe, was the storyline. As a result of the confusing, highly edited route that Paul Thomas decided to take, Savanna played the role of Justine in a way that became tiring. My boyfriend, our friend and I just couldn’t handle her constant anxiety. At least in the original, Justine (Georgina Spelvin) knew she was dead from the start and went quickly on her way into every sexual adventure, without hesitation and with excitement. As I said above, I would have never watched and highly compared this one to the original if the storyline wasn’t so confusing.

After spending the 1 hour and 49 minutes of watching, I was very happy that the sex scenes were steamy enough, erotic enough and arousing enough to make it worth my time. I don’t want to totally bash this movie. It is a big AVN Winner and rightly so, the quality is top notch, the scenery is great, the actors did a fantastic job. So the movie isn’t a total flop. In all honesty, I thought it was interesting to see someone else’s interpretation of this classic. Plus it comes with some great extras, like a separate DVD of the original Devil in Miss Jones, which is really an erotic watch, so you can judge for yourself how it compares to the original. Even though I wasn’t thrilled with the storyline, I still think it’s a movie that should be experienced.
