Driving and crying. Sucking and fucking and masturbating. That's what happens to Isabella (quirky and leggy Alexandra Silk) over a day or so in Thomas Paine's LAST TANGO (1998, Adam & Eve) as our heroine encounters a mysterious man (John Decker) while house hunting. 80 minutes. Standard frame. No condoms and no extras!

Running Time: 78 min. Production Date: 5 / 25 / 1997 Director: Thomas Paine Cast: Alexandra Silk, Erika Lockett, Mia Ciccero, Asia Carrera, Alex Sanders, John Decker, Michael J. Cox, and Peter North Initial Expectations: Thomas Paine has rarely impressed me much, so I dont have much for hopes here. Initial Reaction: Theres some hot sex, but it isnt close to consistent. Who Should Watch It : Anybody whos a fan of Alexandra Silk or whos just curious about her Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who insists on top notch technical aspects and DVDs packed as far as they can be Audio /Video Quality: This is one of Adam & Eves earliest DVDs, and its not that hard to tell. Most everything here seems very reminiscent of VHS. The audio is clear, but seems slightly muffled at times. The video has a yellowish tinge to it as well as some slight grain. Theres also a few shadows that interfere. Music: The music is soft and rests very quietly in the background for most of the movie, but it sounds more like a loud train wreck for the orgy scene.

Starring: Alexandra Silk, Asia Carrera, Mia Ciccero, Ericka Lockett, Peter North, Alex Sanders, Michael J. Cox, John Decker Directed By: Thomas Paine Porn translations of mainstream movies are almost always parodies. Why? Because it's downright silly to think you can rip off a good movie, turn it into porn, and still take yourself seriously. That's exactly the case of The Last Tango, however, which is "inspired" by The Last Tango in Paris, the classic Bernardo Bertolucci movie where Marlon Brando famously (and sadly) seduces Maria Schneider into a sexual affair. Ah, but porn is about sex, and not plot, right? So, why does it matter? It matters because it's a wasted effort and if you're a mainstream movie buff, then you end up feeling like a Led Zeppelin fan when Puff Daddy covered Kashmir. If you count yourself among Alexandra Silk's fans, you not only would have good reason to do so (she has great energy), but you'd also be hard pressed to find a DVD that displays her as much as this one.
