Principal Skinner's Wicked Movie Reviews (6)
Release date: 1/5/2001
Reviewed on: 3/28/2001
Studio: Wicked
Starring: Ian Daniels, Steve Hatcher, Missy, Liza Harper, Charlie, Brad Armstrong, Tyce Bune, Stephanie Swift, Mickey G., Petra, Syren, Herschel Savage, Sydnee Steele
Directed by: Brad Armstrong
Review brief: Golden girl Missy looks sweetly demure, but always desirable in HEARTACHE, a Brad Armstrong- directed feature video about infidelity and temptation, which are always dependable vehicles for hot sex in any porn film, or any Fox-TV show for that matter. Old man Herschel Savage plays the husband of young Missy, who has a sexual longing and need for fulfillment which is convincing in this soap opera-ish tale (thankfully, the title of this movie has nothing to do with that old Bonnie Tyler song from the late seventies). The movie takes place amidst Spanish settings and costumes, which add to the feel and texture to the story. Wicked never ever cheats on giving their viewers simply superb production designs, and the attention to detail here (and in any porno) should be noted and appreciated. The tension is sparked by the appearance of drifter Tyce Bune, who stumbles upon Herschel's estate, and who is not at all shy about expressing his interest in Missy.

Studio: Wicked
Starring: Jill Kelly, Patricia Kennedy, Tom Byron, Peter North, Mark Davis, Tony Tedeschi, Tiffany Million, Jenna Jameson
Directed by: Greg Steele, Brad Armstrong
Review brief: There is no question in my mind that Jenna Jameson epitomizes the prototypical porn babe: blonde, flashy, curvy and with a eye-popping, healthy chest courtesy of Dow Corning, it's easy to see why she has become America's hardcore sweetheart. However, I will admit that with the exception of her earliest appearances in Old Man Randy West's UP AND CUMMER series (in particular the previously reviewed UP AND CUMMERS #11, where she is, in the words of Robert Palmer, "simply irresistable"), I have not exactly been a member of her fan following. To me, she just doesn't have the appeal of a Ginger Lynn, Nikki Dial, or even Ashlyn Gere, to name a few undisputed legends of porn. And her 1995 starring role in THE WICKED ONE does nothing to change my mind. Beginning with an opening scream and scrawled warning, "Don't fuck with Jenna" on the DVD's menu, this release from Wicked is a fairly good porn package, and co-stars some overlooked favorites like Tiffany Million and Channone, as well as present-day superstars like Jill Kelly.

Starring: Jill Kelly, Alec Metro, Inari Vachs, Eric Price, Evan Stone [I] (straight), Jessica Jewel, Mia Smiles, Chris Cannon, Randy Spears, Brad Armstrong, Stephanie Swift, Mickey G., Erik Everhard, Sterling
Directed by: Brad Armstrong
Review brief: I have to admit that when Stephanie Swift first came onto the blue movie scene, I was not much of a fan. There was no doubt that she's cute as hell, and since I have a special effection for raven-haired brunettes, Ms. Swift should have been placed high on my list of new favorites...But for some reason, I chose to overlook her many porn appearances while searching for titles starring Inari Vachs or Tera Patrick; I just wasn't that interested. However, thanks to the good people at Wicked and Adult DVD Talk, I have now jumped on the bandwagon (as I recently have done with Jenna Jameson based on her appearance in UP AND CUMMERS #11 --- better late than never) and have become a Stephanie Swift devotee with SEX SAFARI, a star vehicle which shows this sexy thing at her best. Of course, the overwhelming use of rubbers in all the "poking the whiskers" scenes can be a bit intrusive in a porn fantasy, but what the hell...this DVD is a digital wet dream for any fan of hers.

Studio: Wicked
Starring: Erika Bella, Philippe Dean, Roberto Malone, Laure Sainclair, Eva Falk, Katy Kash, David Perry, Coralie, Elodie Cherie, Rikky Dix, Marc Dorcel, Bruno SX, John T
Review brief: Laure Sainclair is again spotlighted in this Marc Dorcel video imported from the land of soft, smelly cheese and Jerry Lewis groupies and courtesy of Wicked Pictures. LES NUITS DE LA PRESIDENTE has been retitled THE FIRST LADY, which is a convenient if inaccurate translation for those who only took Spanish in high school. Even though this movie is less than two hours long, director Alain Payet manages to cram in a lot of tension and intrigue throughout eleven different and distinctive sexual situations. Yet, the movie never feels rushed, and the sex scenes are perfectly edited according to pace. The premise of the film, which is as original as they come in porn, Ms. Sainclair plays the President during the day, and a literal woman of the night, who is being blackmailed by some mystery villain" looks like a cross between Truman Capote and the Nazi who gets his face melted at the end of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. In order to protect her status, she is directed to engage in sexual encounters.

Review brief: Shortly after reviewing MASQUERADE for Adult DVD Talk, I had the opportunity to take a gander at THE OBSESSION OF LAURE, a Wicked Pictures DVD from Marc Dorvel Video and starring gorgeous featured actress Laure Sinclair. Well, immediately after glancing at the cast listing of OBSESSION, I was almost convinced that this movie would top MASQUERADE, due to my overwheming partiality to Vicca (now a VCA contract girl) and Anita Blonde who performs in three of thirteen (!) scenes in this video. Well, after comparing my, umm..."reactions" to both films, I don't think that OBSESSION is overall as good as MASQUERADE, but then again, I saw MASQUERADE first so my expectations were already at an Olympian level. Still, THE OBSESSION OF LAURE was enough to convince me that the entire Laure Sinclair vehicles from Marc Dorcel were worth collecting, and Wicked's collection of European imports definitely give the Private line a run for their money.

Review brief: After giving top notch reviews to European films like THE FUGITIVE, SEX SLIDERS, CALL GIRLS and other Private releases, I thought that I had already made up my mind as to what were some of the very best DVDs I had seen for the past year. It's not that I am at all partial ot European videos (in fact, some of their most extreme stuff kind of nauseates me), or even favor European women, but I have yet to be dissapointed with anything produced from Private, unlike a great many American releases, most of which are just mediocre, uninspired junk. However, Europorn can get dull sometimes: on-screen sex is performed so proficiently that it almost becomes an emotionless experience.
