Encore Review

Directed by Fred J. Lincoln. Released by Vivid Entertainment in 1995.

Teri Weigel plays a version of herself in this feature as an x-rated performer and director. When her mobster lover (played by Tom Byron) is robbed, her life becomes endangered since she becomes a suspect, according to two detectives (played by Vince Vouyer and Marc Wallice). The concept is fine, but the execution was poor. Tom Byron plays a major character in the story, yet he only appears in one scene. There is no sense of urgency in the protection of Teri. Story Grade: D.

This feature was shot on video. Medium Grade: B.

A mix of actual locations and sets were used in this production. There were also a few outdoor scenes as well, which enhanced the quality of the feature. Set Design Grade: B+.

Teri Weigel's sex scenes were very energetic, as was the scene with Anna Malle and Hank Armstrong. The Asia Carrera/Nick East scene, although good, seemed out of place, given that Asia's role as a psychic had little bearing on the story. No condoms were used in this production. (Condom use has no bearing on the grade.) Sexual Performances Grade: A.

Vince Vouyer and Marc Wallice did not effectively portray realistic police detectives. Tom Byron should have been given more scenes to demonstrate his role as the antagonist. Acting Grade: C+.

That pink outfit Teri wore may not have been a realistic bit of clothing to be seen in public, but she wore it extremely well. Wardrobe/Make-up Grade: A.

The lighting quality was excellent and consistent. The best looking scene may have been with Teri Weigel and Jenteal. Lighting Grade: A.

The sound quality was good and consistent throughout. There was a noticeable gap in the music score during the Asia Carrera/Nick East scene that was a bit distracting. Sound Grade: B+.

This feature could have been vastly improved with a better script and character development. Most of the plot occurs off-screen. It also would have looked better had it been shot on film. Directing Grade: B+.

Given that real locations were used in this production demonstrates that there was an effort made to make the movie seem authentic. The way in which the Teri/Jenteal scene was shot also demonstrated a bit of artistry. Artistic Merit Grade: B+.

OVERALL GRADE: B.
