Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain Timothy Greenfield-Sanders decides to do a photography book starring Porn Stars. First they wear clothes, then they don't. It's hardly earth shattering stuff, but this documentary does unravel some fairly interesting facets of humanity. Just not enough to wish there had been more. The most interesting clips come from porn star couples, as they discuss their very different sex lives. Other stars seem to be in control of their lives, whilst others seem to be in denial. There are also some interesting insights into the business side of porn. As it all comes back to the photography, it's never enough. We get brief snapshots where porn stars take off their layers for a few seconds but then it's over. A good watch, but one which invites more detail.

TheExpatriate700 Thinking XXX is a documentary with some thought-provoking moments, but suffers from not going in depth with its subjects. Centering around the production of a photography book covering porn stars by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. The film alternates between scenes from the photo shoot and interviews with figures such as the late Norman Mailer.At times, the documentary is quite interesting, with some very enlightening interviews with the adult actors and actresses. (Nina Hartley is particularly engaging.) The commentary from Mailer, Gore Vidal, and others is also thought-provoking, with a particularly interesting discussion of the connection between violence and pornography.Unfortunately, the film jumps around so much that these topics cannot be examined in depth. For example, the discussion on violence and pornography lasts only a minute. A discussion of safe sex and pornography, particularly heterosexual pornography, is also given short shrift. The film could have benefited from a longer running time in order to allow greater depth. Furthermore, the film features in depth interviews with only a few of the more articulate or popular stars. Most of the others are given only scant attention.Finally, for those watching just for the skin, there is plenty of nudity on display. Be forewarned, however, that the film jumps frequently between male and female porn stars, so people tuning in for one group will see a lot of the other as well.

michellelocke007 bought the book first titled thinking xxx thirty porn portraits that features the industry's top performers and stars clothed and un-clothed by photographer and author timothy greenfield sanders. i bought the DVD a while later and thought it would interesting to see the book being borough to film. viewers looking for x-rated clips of their favorite adult stars will be disappointed as there is none but more a journey of sorts as the performers sit down for a frank and thought provoking interview where they discuss their trade. they talk about growing up and their childhood, how they got started in the business and how it as affected their personal and professional lives. i was more fascinated with the veteran performers from the 70s and 80s who had so many wild tales to tell. back than, sex on camera seemed more enjoyable, worry free and fun where there wasn't the scare of sexually transmitted diseases or the aids epidemic that hit the eighties and devastated the industry. recommended to those wanted to take a further peek behind the curtains of the adult entertainment industry.

hijraalbadr This film, though not life altering, is fantastic. I mean, it's just an interesting, surprising look at the industry. If you give it a chance, I believe that there is a lot that some of these stars have to say about themselves, the world and the industry. It's not like every last one of these girls and guys are Ivy-League material, but the relative handful in this film as articulate and intelligent. If you're interested in the sex industry, from a sincere point of view, watch this. Totally worth a viewing, search it, find a way to see it, definitely an eye-opener.3 1/2 stars
