Running Time: 76 min. (cover states approx. 80 min.) Production Date: 11 / 1997 Director: Thomas Paine Cast: Shayla LaVeaux, Laura Palmer, Shelbee Myne, Randee Lee, Raylene, Steve Hatcher, Rick Masters, Billy Glide, and Buck Adams Initial Expectations: Theres something about this one that makes me not want to expect too much, and Im not quite sure what it is. Initial Reaction: Its okay, but nothing special. Who Should Watch It : Couples who dont want much outside of vaginal sex Who Should Avoid It: Raincoaters and anybody who wants a plot or a little more extreme sex, such as anal Audio /Video Quality: The audio is fairly well balanced, but does have a few problems here and there. The video is slightly grainy, and has a similar quality to a VHS tape of the same age. The lighting is done pretty well, and there arent many shadows that interfere with the action. It does have a bit of slow motion, which is really puzzling as it happens during one of the slower moments and only brings things down a bit. [read the full review]

Running Time: 95 min. Production Date: 3 / 24 / 1997 Director: Thomas Paine Cast: Asia Carrera, Heaven Lee, Chloe, Jeanna Fine, Johnni Black, Juli Ashton, Nina Hartley, Rebecca Lord, Shayla LaVeaux, Alex Sanders, John Decker, Mark Davis, Michael J. Cox, and Steve Hatcher in sexual roles and Christi Lake in a non-sex role Initial Expectations: Thomas Paine has rarely impressed me. Although this one has a great female cast I cant get my expectations up too high. Initial Reaction: Although it flounders a little in places, its one of the best Ive seen from Thomas Paine. Who Should Watch It : Couples Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a heavy plot, nastier sex, or a movie about business Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and nicely balanced, although there is a little bit of dubbing. The video shows a bit of the features age. It has some grain, and looks almost as if the feature were shot on film. Its nicely lit, and even varies the lighting at times to help with the mood.

Running Time: 87 min. Production Date: 05 / 1997 Director: Thomas Paine Cast: Johnni Black, Rebecca Lord, Roxanne Hall, Mia Ciccero, Shayla LaVeaux, Billy Glyde, John Decker, Michael J. Cox, and Steve Hatcher Initial Expectations: Thomas Paine has rarely impressed me much. Im not expecting much here. Initial Reaction: Its pretty good. Who Should Watch It : Fans of Shayla LaVeaux and Roxanne Hall Who Should Avoid It: Rebecca Lord fans Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects leave a bit to be desired. The audio is clear at times, but often poorly balanced. The video shows its age as well through a bit of grain. The bigger problem is the lighting, which is extremely inconsistent and often throws off the colors in the feature. Finally, the cameras pop into view occasionally and the slow motion portions of the feature are done poorly so that theyre jumpy and a bit annoying rather than feeling slow and romantic. Music: The music has a nice romantic feel to it, and is often just a little on the loud side. [read the full review]

Running Time: 78 min. Production Date: Dec. 1997 Director: Thomas Paine Cast: Shayla LaVeaux, Shelbee Myne, Laura Palmer, Randee Lee, Natasha, Cara Lott, Alec Metro, Billy Glide, Brick Majors, Rick Masters, John West, Valentino, and Buck Adams Initial Expectations: I wasnt too impressed with the original, so Im not expecting much here either. Initial Reaction: *Yawn* Audio /Video Quality: The audio is fairly well balanced, but does have a few hollow spots. The video is pretty average, but does have a bit of grain. It also suffers very frequently from over lighting, which gives it a kind of unnatural yellow tint. Music: The music is pretty standard. The balance varies a little, but is normally very nicely balanced with the rest of the audio. Theres a little bit that gets a little loud, but not much. Menus: The main menu is a simple plain screen that allows you to choose between the feature and the chapter menu. The chapter menu is pretty standard and only offers a small clip of the scene to let you choose. [read the full review]

Principal Skinner's
Since I somehow managed to miss the first HEARTFELT video upon its initial release, I can't comment how this sequel compares with the original. However, after viewing this rather hackneyed release, I have to imagine that the first movie was a little better (or at least somewhat popular) or else we would never have seen the likes of HEARTFELT 2. Although Shayla LaVeaux is prominently featured on the cover, and looks as gorgeous as ever, Laura Palmer has the real leading role in the nearly non-existent story. Shayla does have two girl-guy scenes, neither of which are very memorable or ourstanding in any way. The remaining five scenes are unfortunately average, despite some enthusiastic performances who try to generate a little "heart" in this lifeless movie. From the opening scene of this movie, things start off with a bang...a gangbang, to be exact, with Cara Lott at the center of five guys desperately trying to vye for her attention as well as for her sexual orifices. Unfortunately, Ms. [read the full review]
