Featured review
"I Am Always Ready": More Like, I Wish I'd Waited
Director Carlos Tobalina's 1978 adult film "I Am Always Ready" is a strange beast. On the one hand, it has all the ingredients of a typical 70s porn flick: ambitious young women, X-rated film fantasies, and the legendary John Holmes. On the other hand, it somehow manages to feel stagnant and dull.
The plot, if you can call it that, centers around a wealthy young woman's dream of becoming an X-rated film star and having her way with John Holmes. It's a simple setup that could've been entertaining, but the film fails to capitalize on this potential.
One of the main issues is the pacing. The film stretches a thin premise over 74 excruciating minutes. It feels like the same joke or scenario is being replayed over and over, with little variation or progression. It's a classic case of quantity over quality.
That being said, the film is not without its redeeming qualities. Veteran porn star Annette Haven makes an appearance, and even a little bit of Annette is worth a lot when compared to other less skilled performers. Haven's scene is easily the highlight of the film and showcases her talent and screen presence.
Technically, the film is also quite competent. The 2K scan from the 35mm original camera negatives ensures a clear and crisp picture. The lighting and cinematography are also surprisingly decent, with some creative shots and compositions that elevate the otherwise mundane scenes.
However, these positive aspects can't make up for the overall lack of effort and creativity. "I Am Always Ready" feels like a lazy attempt to cash in on the popularity of adult films at the time. It's a forgettable addition to the genre and does little to stimulate or entertain.
In conclusion, "I Am Always Ready" is a disappointing effort from Tobalina. While it has a few bright spots, they are few and far between, and the film ultimately fails to arouse or engage its audience.
