review from 9/16/2010:
This is an above average release that doesn't seem to live up to its potential. The story is light, and at barely and hour and twenty minutes the entire movie seemed like it could have used a little more all around. There are some very nice performances from Stormy Daniels, Eric Masterson, and Kaylani Lei, but strangely Stormy and Eric turned out the weakest scene in the movie with barely any chemistry between them. The technical aspects show some nice care, including the special effects with a miniature Kaylani, and the extras showed a little effort as well. This isn't a bad movie, but it didn't come close to my expectations due to the players involved. [read the full review]

review from 8/14/2010:
Here we have a fairy tale come to life, sorta. Jack and Jill aka Eric Masterson & Stormy Daniels have moved into a new house but they don't know their garden in the backyard holds a real garden fairy- Kaylani Lei who begins working her magic on Eric shortly after they move in. This mistakenly leads Stormy to think he's having an affair with their sexy next door neighbor, Janet Mason who is very much a swinger. A fun story and you should enjoy watching it play out. Stormy's got two scenes, one with Eric and the other a very nice running outdoor shower scene with Janet. Kaylani might be a fairy but she's able to get human size for her tryst with Eric near the end and you won't want to miss Stormy in her pink fairy suit, that's all I'm saying on that!

review from 8/30/2010:
Review: Friends 4 Life is a good production from Michael Raven and Wicked Pictures that features Barrett Blade as an egocentric guy who encountersand is ultimately stalked byhis self-proclaimed best friend forever, Eric Masterson. Despite his obvious, obsessive shortcomings, Eric still manages to sleep with Barretts on-and-off girlfriend, Alektra Blue, and even his mother, Janet Mason, by the time all is said and done. In so doing, he brings Barrett to an epiphany about both himself and his lifebizarre, but it more or less works. Now, how about the sex? This is a porno after all. Sexually speaking, this DVD showcases Wicked contract performer, Alektra Blue, and is generally good. Alektra has three sequencesa boy-girl with Barrett Blade in a bedroom (Scene One), a boy-girl with Eric Masterson on a sofa at Barretts place (Scene Three), and a girl-girl-girl with Mikayla Mendez and Kiara Diane (Scene Four). The scene with Barrett includes some hot doggie-style action on the edge of the bed and some sexy cowgirl work amongst its highlights. [read the full review]

review from 11/12/2011:
"Hush" is a very good production from Wicked and Michael Raven that stars jessica drake as a police psychiatrist whose absentee father (Randy Spears) died in the line of duty when she was younger and whose boyfriend (Eric Masterson) is wholly consumed with his pursuit of a serial killer known as "The Caller". Not to introduce any spoilers, but it suffices to say that what ensues in this release is a thriller of a murder mystery that culminates in a gripping (and twisted) ending...with at least one life literally on the line. (Oh...and the sex--especially with jessic's anal antics in the final segment--is hot, too.) [read the full review]

review from 9/20/2009:
A new jessica drake flick has arrived and she's brought along a few of her fellow Wicked contract sisters for the ride. Story wise jessica's a psychologist who treats mostly cops and the story here has a bad killer on the loose and eventually jessica becomes his target. Eric Masterson and Brad Armstrong are the male leads and each plays a significant role in jessica's characters journey through this flick. It's worth the ride to find out those roles. Good script, well done acting and top it off with solid sex scenes makes this an easy recommendation for purchase or rental. [read the full review]

review from 10/27/2009:
This is easily one of the worst Wicked releases I've watched. The movie is very poorly written with sex that isn't much better due to extremely low lighting and being limited to two positions in each scene. The technical aspects don't quite make the average mark and the extras barely make it past the average mark due to a behind the scenes featurette that isn't much better than the movie. This release was a huge disappointment. [read the full review]

review from 12/3/2009:

review from 4/11/2009:
Here we have a strong feature with the lovely jessica drake headlining. You have Barrett Blade as her man but as stories go the two are torn asunder and we don't know if they make it back, you'll have to watch the movie to see. Good sex scenes here, shorter than I'm used to with gonzo but still the knob polishing was just fine thank you and you get some facials well worth the wait. But the story here is chief, jessica working towards becoming a journalist and Barrett working abroad trying to expose the travesties in Afghanistan. Bring in McKayla Mendez who does quite a character turn which you'll have to see, it was pivotal in the storyline and she handled it beautifully. So there's the tease, I think this is well worth checking out for fans of features and the sex keeps you very much invested in what happens with the characters. [read the full review]

fu_q's
review from 1/15/2009:
"Deceived" by Wicked Pictures is a plot-driven, couples-friendly adult film that still manages to bring home hot sex from its incredibly beautiful cast of actresses and strong cast of actors. With two excellent scenes by Mikayla Mendez, one excellent scene by Kristina Rose, one very good scene by Kaylani Lei, a solid scene by Scarlett Fay, and good bonus materials, there is a lot to recommend this title. The acting abilities of Randy Spears and Mikayla Mendez also add a lot to the success of this disc, as do the high production values, whose only shortcoming is minor voice-over garbling from time-to-time. If you are looking for anal sex or male-to-female oral action, you might want to look elsewhere, as there isn't any of this here. There is also a strict adherence to condom use. That said, none of these things get in the way of making this a highly recommendable DVD and one of the best of its genre. [read the full review]

Liz Love's
review from 7/29/2008:
The overall key to this story, is the writing. Stormy Daniels did an amazingly great job when writing this. Even though some of the dialogue is simplistic and flat, the overall story makes up for it. I think that the title itself explains a lot of the subtleties and emotions of the movie. The main thing I enjoyed about this is that the sex did not seem out of place at any time. It figured well into the story, and enhanced many scenes. [read the full review]

review from 7/23/2008:
This is a really well done feature film fans focusing on Stormy Daniels rise from druggie to doting wife to widow and finally sex slave!! Sounds brief but there are layers here to unfold and this movie does a good job of letting you uncover each and every one along with solid sex scenes. Stormy does two b/g scenes here along with a bit of lesbian fun with Roxy Deville-- that was special so yeah fans of either girl check this one out, their fucking and acting were both excellent here.

review from 2/11/2009:
This is an exceptional couples movie. The story is light but very tight, and does a nice job turning Steve Carrell's The 40 Year Old Virgin into an adult film with Randy Spears in Carrell's role and Carmen Hart as the object of his affection. The supporting cast joining Randy and Carmen do every bit as good of a job as Randy and Carmen, and everybody does as good of a job with their clothes on as they do off. The technical aspects are very well done and the extras show some nice effort to help out the overall DVD. This is an extremely well done comedy that far exceeded my already high expectations.

review from 10/30/2007:
This is easily one of the best features I've seen in a long time. Stormy Daniels and Randy Spears both completely nail their roles as the black widow and her prey and bring plenty of emotion and real acting skill to a very well done plot. The sex is also well done with Randy's scenes with Stormy and Carmel Moore and Stormy's scene with Barrett Blade all seeming perfect for the movie. Michael Raven's direction is just as spot on and brings things together with great camera work, lighting, and even music. The technical aspects show some very nice care, and there's plenty of effort put into the extras. This is a great release that deserves to be checked out. [read the full review]

review from 11/2/2008:
This is a pretty good release. The artistic style is a little inconsistent through the movie, which leaves some of the scenes fighting with each other slightly. Stormy turns in yet another great scene with Randy Spears here, as well as joining Audrey Bitoni for a pretty good foursome, but surprisingly her scene with Voodoo comes across as one of the movie's weakest. The technical aspects are nicely done and the extras show some nice effort as well. This release is a touch inconsistent, but still has plenty to like about it. [read the full review]

review from 1/7/2008:
This is quite possibly Michael Raven's best modern revisioning of a classic tale to date. The story is extremely well written and well acted, and the sex has some very nice variety and fits into it very well. Jessica Drake does a great job through it all, and might just turn in her best performance that I've seen so far. The technical aspects are on the artistic side with washed out and tinted video that might lose some people, but the audio is very well done. The extras also show some nice effort and help to round out a nicely done DVD. This is a really great adult feature. [read the full review]

The story centers around Kaylani who finds out that her man of 5 years has been cheating on her with other women and has been paying for online porn. Well she dumps him and thinks that porn is bad and caused this whole ordeal. Well she resorts to online dating and falls in love with Barrett Blade and later finds out that he is porn director. She comes to love him despite his involvement with porn, and through this she comes to the realization that Porn does not cause problems in relationships, it is deception and lying that ultimately ends relationships.

review from 9/15/2006:
Synopsis A features-porn, 'mockumentary' on Carmen's life before, and entry into the adult biz. Scene 1 Ah, honeymoon/nuptual sex between 'hubby' Eric Masterton & bride Carmen. Lovey-dovey fireside sex, some reverse cowgirl, & spoon vaginal...Eric comes all over Carmen's tummy. Best part of this scene was that Carmen kept her glasses and her bridal veil on the entire scene. Nasty! Scene 2 Carmen comes home to find hubby Eric getting a hummer from Chloe Dior. After watching him coat Chloe's face in cream, Carmen packs up & moves out to make a new start in Sin City, aka. Porn Valley. Scene 3 Carmen is awakened by her new housemates' Kirsten Price & Barrett Blade's sexual antics. Inspired by Kirsten's love talk...."I wanna ride you, Cowboy Jimmy !" and, " Fuck me, Cowboy Jimmy"....Carmen is inspired to masturbate ( wouldnt you ?). Some 69 oral, rcg and mish boning follow before Barrett( err, Cowboy Jimmy) blasts baby batter all over beautiful Kirsten's face. Carmen diddles herself to sleep. [read the full review]

Comet Man's
review from 8/21/2006:
Directed by Michael Raven, this is a Wicked fantasy collection of scenes w/ all the typical american fantasies of sex with women. Scene 1 (Rock Star - Kirsten Price) This is a rock star groupie fantasy with some guy who's way too tattoed (Kirsten also has a lower back tattoo). He gives Kirsten (blond w/ a good body) some licking before doing her in doggie, then sideways spoon, before she takes it in the face. Lighting was a little weird (mostly yellow) because they're supposed to be in some concert hall. Chemistry was ok between the two actors. Kirsten didn't seem all that excited and the guy looked like he was getting limp while doing doggy. Scene 2 (The Secretary - Anna Mills) The boss orders the secretary around (turn around and don't make any noise) while he licks her out. Anna Mills (slightly chubby blond w/ huge lips and fake breasts) obeys faithfully and really seems to enjoy herself as he grabs her lips. He then puts her back down on the table and jams his cock all the way down her throat. They then go to missionary, cowgirl, doggie. [read the full review]

review from 10/10/2009:
I have only good things to say about this movie. But I might be a little partial: I really like girls in jeans, boots and hats. The music throughout the movie is country and its surprisingly good. There is a story that links the sex scenes together and although its nothing great, I like a little structure to my scenes and the story provides that without spending a lot of time between the sex scenes. Carmen provides a voice over narration throughout the movie to help move the story along quickly. Otherwise there is little dialog in the scenes. The settings and wardrobe are well done and help contribute to the movies theme. Lighting is a little dark but again it helps set the mood of the movie. The girls all look great in their western wear. There is even a scene with all the girls line dancing together that is well done. Carmen is in two b/g scenes and one bj scene. I have become a big fan of Carmens. She is very cute and sexy. Her southern accent also adds to the country theme during [read the full review]

review from 11/12/2007:
Stormy writes and stars in a very nice thriller for Michael Raven. The sex is very couples friendly and nicely done, but the story and acting are the real stars here. The technical aspects are a bit disappointing due to a non-anamorphic transfer and the extras fall a bit flat and far short of what Wicked often does for extras outside of a very enjoyable commentary. This is a great movie that left me wishing that Wicked would have done more with the overall DVD. [read the full review]

review from 1/19/2007:
Welcome fans to a quick take on this Stormy Daniels flick where she's either crazy or actually being watched, hence the title Watching Samantha. It's got a top notch cast of talent so far as features go in Randy Spears, Stephen St. Croix, Avena Lee, and Kirsten Price who I think had just become a Wicked Girl when this was shot. The jist of the story is Stormy's character feeling like she's being watched, that there's some kind of presence she senses often when she wakes up at night, etc. Of course it's all true but there's a perfectly natural explanation for this. Randy tries to play the good husband and Avena and Stephen their good close friends who both seem concerned about the behaviour of Stormy. The story progresses ok with mostly hints of the supposed watching with no actual overt signs save for a shower scene where Stormy goes out when she thinks she's heard something and coming back the words I See you are traced in the mist of the mirror. Other than that it's all up to Stormy's acting to convey this feeling of dred and I thought for the most part she did fine. [read the full review]

review from 11/6/2005:
Prologue I have to admit it. I really like Keri Sable. She may not have been my primary reason for watching videos she appeared in but I was duly impressed with her looks and sexual capacity. Since going over to Wicked I was ready to just write her off and move on but I'd like to see her in action before she ruins her perfect body with her proposed boob job. I know that's harsh but some things should just be left as they are, and her body is one of them. Dark Sins is supposed to have four scenes with Keri. There's the promise of her hot little rump being violated and that's something to look forward to. Keri Sable is writing by candlelight. Dozens of candles surround her and she's pondering her fantasies. Keri appears at the door of redneck Rod Fontana. "A beer guzzling, rib eating hunk of a man". She seduces him by pulling off her clothes and settling into his lap for a bj. He eats her pussy, seasoning it with bbq sauce. Keri gets good and wet, ready for dick. [read the full review]

review from 10/19/2005:
Keri Sable's much-anticipated first starring role for Wicked!! And directed by Michael Raven no less. I must declare a personal interest before proceeding any further with this review - I simply adore Keri Sable and want to shout it from the rooftops! She can do no wrong as far as I am concerned. Keri is the reason I love porn. Beautiful, fresh, innocent-looking teens that do the most amazingly filthy things. That just does not happen in any reality I know of - "Where do we find such women". This is Keri's debut starring role for Wicked and, in the BTS, Michael Raven refers to her as a "Gonzo Queen". I for one was glad when Keri clinched her Wicked contract, as I knew it would mean a chance to see Keri in a whole new glamorous light. An opportunity to see one of the most beautiful and enthusiastic performers shot on film, in widescreen, with great clothes, sexy make-up, flattering lighting, and reading intelligent dialogue. Now "Dark Sins" is the standard, bread and butter, Wicked "pretty girl" vignette-style feature. [read the full review]

What's next in line for review:  What's a Girl Gotta Do? a Jonathan Morgan comedy from Wicked Pictures starring one of my favorites, Stormy. Director: Michael Raven Camera: Francois Clouset and Jake Jacobs Genre: All Sex Vignettes, Artporn Release: 7/05 Notes: Widescreen non-anomorphic 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound Audio option: German Soundtrack Condoms ! Scroll down to the bottom to see an explanation of my rating system. From the moment this movie fires up, you can tell that this isn't going to be your typical porn smut. We have some Hollywood green screen magic as the cast is introduced... Images of the girls flash on the screen with some shots looking as if they used one of those fancy Photoshop filters. When the credits finish rolling, Sativa Rose makes an appearance with her flesh blasted out in black & white, her lips a vibrant crimson, a la Frank Miller's Sin City. [read the full review]

review from 7/25/2005:
American Dreams Wicked Running Time: 79 minutes American Dreams is a series of steamy Vignettes. Julie Ann is the covergirl and has 2 scenes. One is a b/g after taking a horseback ride the other is a fiery (literally) g/g with Stormy. All the scenes except one take place either outside in the desert or in some kind of setting (either a barn or burning building) The only one that doesn't is Katsumi's scene which starts with her dancing using the flag as a cover for part of it before she starts with the guy. The rest of the scenes are kind of fantasies. [read the full review]

How could I not have very high expectations? Initial Reaction: Its okay, but far from Ravens best. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting beautifully captured sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting something with a bit of nastiness The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are a bit on the artistic side. The audio is nicely done, but it sometimes lets the music dominate the audio or adds in a few other effects. The video is much the same way. To start with, its presented in non-anamorphic widescreen, which is always a disappointment (especially with Wickeds resources). [read the full review]

review from 4/7/2005:
"A Gay Man's Take on Straight Porn" So, how is Michael Raven's newest addition to the Wicked library? And how is Stormy's latest writing effort? Well, it's not what you would expect. The Movie: Anyone looking for good hardcore action should stop reading right now. This movie is VERY tame. The story is this: Stormy has just been dumped by her long time boyfriend, and is still trying to get over it. Well, when Barret moves in across the street, he kind of helps. We also are introduced to the rather odd inhabitants of Stormy's neighborhood as the story progresses. There are five sex scenes, and all of them are short. The first is between Evan Stone and Nicky. This scene stands out for one major reason. Both people in the scene are wearing snorkaling (sp?) gear. So, she goes down on him, his flippers flapping around. Then they go in to reverse cowgirl, then in to a scissor position, and then he pops on her goggles. The scene is really short, and hardly graphic. The next scene is a lesbian scene between Nicole Sheridan and Exotica. [read the full review]

Its clear and nicely balanced without any background noises. The video is presented in non-anamorphic widescreen.

review from 9/1/2005:
This is the second movie from Michael Raven that I'm checking out. I've heard some positive reactions about it, so my expectation are high. Feature Duration: 1 hr 35 min Housewives has no actual story: it simply raises the question, "What would happen if you could order perfect, artificial mate?", and then presents the viewer with hypothetical scenario in the first half of the feature. The other half illustrates the behavior of various "perfect wife" specimens in their natural habitat. Unlike other Wicked movies I've seen, this one almost entirely consists of sex scenes without too much distractions; only some brief narration in between. With that in mind, you can count that scenes are relatively lengthy by comparison. Pason makes her appearance in the very beginning, playing the robo-wife who's been ordered via the Internet. Her first scene contains only a blowjob but I enjoyed it because she works the guy to completion without him using his hands at all. That was pretty hot. [read the full review]

review from 11/24/2005:
Stormy is truly hot! She looks like Heather Graham. I was excited about this new interactive DVD from Wicked. Wicked is a reputable company thats been around for many years. Its shocking to see this kind of quality from a big company. This interactive DVD is horrible and disappointing. The interactive format is more like a movie with various chapters, similar to My Virtual and Playing With. The second angle is not available in some scenes. The options available is seriously lacking. Its mostly blow job, a short titty fuck scene, and a short dildo scene. Thats about it. The second angle is horrible in the multi-angle scenes, the second angle shows the action from a far distance, there are NO close up shots. The camera work is pretty bad. The sex section is horrible. The lighting is horrible. The video quality is super lame, it looks like VHS quality at best. Stormy just dont look real. Stormys body and skin color looks weird too. I was expecting a fantasy with Stormy the hottie but this DVD fails to deliver. [read the full review]

The Little Details Running Time: approx. 60 min. including multiple angles Production Date: 9 / 13 / 2004 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Stormy and Pat Myne The Short Story Initial Expectations: Wicked waited a long time to enter the virtual world. Im really curious to see this one, but very apprehensive at the same time. Initial Reaction: It was well worth the wait. Who Should Watch It : Fans of Stormy or anybody wanting something unique and different Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting the same old virtual sex DVD The Technical Stuff Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects arent quite up to Wickeds normal level. The audio is pretty clear and well balanced, but theres also a few background noises. I have mixed feelings here, since theyre all noises outside of the house. Although it ruins some of the fantasy, it also adds to a bit of the reality. The video also lacks a little. Its decently lit, but theres a bit of grain to the picture that I dont ever expect from Wicked. [read the full review]

review from 12/14/2004:
Stormy is one of my favorites, so I was looking forward to this title, however I could not have been more disappointed. While she's hot, the set is not! First there's an annoying navigation panel that takes up to a quarter of the screen throughout each scene. While you can move from scene to scene and position to position, you cannot fast forward/reverse for some reason. Moreover, some of the scenes are looped to extend the action, which I've always thought was a cheap trick that went out in the eighties. There isn't any background music, and that wouldn't be too bad, except the dude is essentially mute and Stormy offers the standard porn-purrs. Alternate angles are promised in the opening credits, which is great for non POV afficianados like myself, but are only available in two of the positions in the last scene. The extras didn't include any slide show or BTS, and the interview offered standard patter that was inexplicably cut up into individual question navigation buttons. [read the full review]

review from 10/1/2004:
Wicked presents Michael Raven's "Killer Sex & Suicide Blondes". I confess -- I have never seen a Wicked production before, and since I appreciate a feature film once in awhile, I thought why not. Why this particular title? Are you kidding, look at the title. Technical Runtime: 1hr 35min Region: 0 Audio/Video: Excellent. DD Surround 5.1 Feature Story Synopsis Gemini Black's husband, who worked as a hitman for the mafia, was killed in front of her eyes by his own employers. Gem is presumed dead as well, but she is not; she manages to survive, goes into hiding, and returns after several years as a ruthless, cold blooded, killer babe whose only goal is to avenge her husband. Scene 1 - Julia Ann and Randy Spears Julia (Gem) and Randy (Gem's husband) are making out on their bed. She gives him a BJ and then they have sex in cowgirl and spooning positions. Semen lands on Julia's pubes and stomach. [read the full review]

review from 7/2/2019:
Two young waitresses jilted by loser boyfriends--one a cheater and the other a low-rent thug who's just escaped from prison--go in search of a huge stash of cash and head toward the Mexican line, after one of them accidentally shoots her guy and the other's ends up snagged by the law. With trouble hot on their trail, whether they'll actually reach their destination and live out their dreams or not remains to be seen, but what is certain is that there will be plenty of hot fucking and sucking along the way. Such is the case in "Highway", a very good, 2004 release from Wicked Pictures and director Michael Raven. [read the full review]

review from 6/1/2004:
In a word: Talky. The gist: This is the kind of movie that contains this kind of line: "How can you look into my eyes and not see how much I burn for you? Forever is in our kiss." While many will still need to hear more before deciding whether this is the movie for them, I think a lot of people will now know that it's time to forget about it. The plot: There's not so much a plot as a central device that ties the scenes together -- a lonelyhearts talk show that's playing on the radio in a bar. The scenes either come from calls to the show or from people at the bar, or both. The play-by-play: It wouldn't be a Wicked feature without Nicole Sheridan and Voodoo, and they start us off as an unhappy wife and the guy she cheats with. He delivered the cheesy line above -- which he said with some kind of half-assed Euro/French accent, perhaps to help make him feel a little less ridiculous -- when they met at the bar. By the time they're back at home, he's completely lost the accent. Fire the continuity editor. The sex is nice, though, with Nicole her usual vocal self. [read the full review]

review from 2/7/2004:
Description Beautiful is a stylish, dark, moody feature, roughly based on the Snow White story. Julia Ann plays the scheming Ellen Queen, a business owner who wants to be rid of a romantic rival, her downtrodden employee Sondra Snow (played by Stormy). Condoms are used. General Impression In a nutshell, this one was fun to watch. The scenes Stormy is a bit glum, but her co-worker Devinn coaxes her into getting ready for an evening out on the town. From her dressing room, Stormy can hear Devinn next door, talking dirty to Joey Ray. Devinn shreds the shirt right off Joey, and the two of them follow up with tease, hair-pulling, whimpering, and spanking, along with the usual serving of reverse cowgirl and doggie. Stormy is still preening next door as Devinn jerks Joey onto her tits. Very nice energy in this scene. Devinn and Stormy proceed to a nightclub, where coincidentally, the evil Julia Ann is meeting with Brad, a potential business partner and suitor. [read the full review]

review from 1/10/2005:
This movie has some of the best plot development and acting that I have seen in adult movies. Clearly a lot of effort went into the filmaking and scriptwriting. However, what the film has in its looks and acting it doesn't carry through in the sex scenes. I found every sex scene to be an amazing disappointment considering all the trouble that the makers took to create so much other texture. A great adult movie to me should have both - great plot, great character development and acting as well as inspired and pasionate sex. This one fails to deliver on the latter. Unispired, boring and emotionally detached sex scenes. [read the full review]

review from 7/1/2004:
In a word: Hardboiled. The gist: It's the old dirty cop/good cop movie, with a little "Training Day" flavor. Mr. Marcus might not be quite as good as Denzel Washington as the bad cop, but Kaylani Lei is an improvement over Ethan Hawke. Mr. Marcus is running a rogue crew of cops, and Kaylani has been assigned to infiltrate it. Kaylani is grilled by her superiors in a framing device shot in black-and-white, with the movie unfolding in flashbacks. We see Kaylani assimilating herself into the group, getting interested in Marcus, being forced into a climactic confrontation with him, and then dealing with the consequences. If you were wondering what the heck the title means, Kaylani's character is somewhat implausibly named Blue Rain. I wonder if she's related to Taylor, Misty, or Amber? The play-by-play: We start easy, with a blowjob scene. Marcus and a colleague are on a night stakeout in their car. These things can be boring, so Marcus has Domino help keep him awake.

The Movie: Okay, first off, this movie is set up as the first in a series. I really wish they would continue it, but as of now, this is the only one. The sex is the most important part here, and over all it, does very well, with no real flaws that I could see. The movie starts off with a sex scene between Asia Carrera and a Warrior. The scene starts slow, romantic, and has a nice build. There is both female and male oral (a plus) and when they actually get to the sex, there is a great heat, and you can tell that both performers are enjoying themselves. There is no anal in this scene, which is fine by me, and helps because this is a softer scene. The next scene is a flashback of how Angel X was born, and is between Nick Manning (the villian) and her mother, the Queen of Light. The scene has heat, mainly because of the actress, and while they set her up as more of the soft character, it seems to work. [read the full review]

Description This is a couples feature with very discreet use of condoms. The bare plot involves Asia tutoring Kaylani in martial arts to fight the forces of Evil. General Impression Fun! It has a campy, mainstream feel, with a few zippy special effects, and a nice variety of sex scenes. The box cover reads, "A young woman must face her destiny, her past, and her future. An epic tale of sexual awakening." Tee-hee! It's not all that. Except in the comic book sense, and Michael Raven likes comic books. The stage sets, costumes, make-up and camera techniques were impressive, the very decent musical score was written just for this movie (by Celina Mynx), and the girls looked great. Sex Asia Carrera, in traditional Japanese garb, has tea with Dillion, who has his hair shaved for a mowhawk, and a very convincing dragon 'tattoo' down the side of his head, neck, and shoulder. Wordlessly, they undress each other and Dillion does some aggressive pussy slurping. Asia worships his rod orally before saddling up and grinding on him. [read the full review]

review from 10/6/2003:
Although Breathless isn't without its problems, it is still a very enjoyable plot-based adult film. The sex is tame so viewers that don't like nasty sex will find this movie to be to their liking. The plot is also rather well developed for an adult film, so there is more substance to the film than just the sex scenes. If the movie sounds good to you, you should definitely give it a rental or just purchase it. [read the full review]

Yeah, Id say Ive got darn high expectations here! Initial Reaction: It didnt quite meet my expectations, but I also know that I had them so high it would have been very hard to. Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting a well done story with some hot sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who doesnt want a lot of plot with their porn Audio /Video Quality: As usual, the technical aspects are top notch. The audio is very clear and very well balanced. [read the full review]

Running Time: 104 min. Production Date: 12 / 30 / 2001 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Sydnee Steele, Brad Armstrong, Keri Windsor, Sunrise Adams, Violet Blue, Lezley Zen, Avy Scott, Randy Spears, Cheyne Collins, and Dillion Day, in sexual roles and Jonathan Morgan, Anthony Skordi, Jezebelle Bond, T. J. Hart, Chennin Blanc, Summer Storm, David Crawford, and many more in non-sex roles Initial Expectations: In my opinion, Michael Raven is one of the best directors out there, if not the best. Combining him with Wicked and a cast like this should be one heck of a winning combination. Initial Reaction: As usual with Michael Raven, its damn good. Its also one of the best DVDs Ive seen all year. Who Should Watch It : Couples and anybody wanting plot and good acting with their porn Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a lot of nastier sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced without even a hint of a background noise. The video is nicely presented in the widescreen format, but unfortunately isnt in anamorphic widescreen. [read the full review]

review from 8/21/2002:
Heroin is a highly recommended film from Michael Raven that is sure to please viewers who like plot based adult erotica and tame sex. Despite the problems with the transfer, this disc is definitely one to pick up for your collection. Viewers who hate a plot and viewers who require nasty or degrading sex acts will probably not enjoy this film to its fullest potential. [read the full review]
