John Allman

If you’ve ever wandered the aisles at the video store or surfed the DVR pay-per-view options and seen a bunch of movies that you’ve never heard of, chances are John has watched them. Why? He loves movies. All kinds of movies. Good, bad, so-bad-they’re good, even the truly unwatchable ones. He mostly loves horror and science-fiction and drive-in exploitation movies that most upstanding model citizens wouldn’t dare watch. Then he writes up his thoughts so you can decide - watch, don’t watch or avoid at all costs. Sometimes he even gets to talk to the cool folks who make some of your favorite films.

The Lowdown: Al Goldstein, the mastermind behind “Screw” magazine, is a pig.

He’s a loudmouth, over-opinionated jerk whose face was not made for looking in a mirror. But that never stopped him from putting his indelible stamp on adult entertainment.

Already this year he has popped up as an outspoken talking head in the very-good documentary “American Swing” about the rise and fall of “Plato’s Retreat,” the iconic New York City swinger’s club.

And now two volumes of erotic interviews, sex ads and carnal skits have been culled from his public-access television show, Midnight Blue, to document the best and most recognized stars that the XXX film world had to offer.

The DVD retrospectives are a blast, reveling in their poor production values, off-the-cuff on-screen antics and vulgar tirades against some stars (Jenna Jameson) who refused to honor Goldstein’s request for an interview.

”Porn Stars of the 90’s” features such luminaries as Christy Canyon, Teri Weigel, Jeanna Fine and the tattooed sex freak (God love her) Viper.

“Porn Stars of the 80’s” is even better with such legendary stars like Ron Jeremy, Nina Hartley and the incredibly sexy Latin temptress Vanessa Del Rio, who gets busy with her on-screen interviewer Steve Krause in a lurid display that’s kind of gross, yet makes you jealous at the same time.

These are the blue movie stars that your parents watched, and the later icons who ushered in the age of VHS porn, gracing countless video boxes in the back rooms of rental stores across the country.

It’s a fascinating, often highly entertaining, look behind the curtain at movie stars who are incredibly comfortable being naked.
