Rieekan's Vivid Wave Movie Reviews (7)

Studio: Vivid Wave
Starring: Peter North, Racquel Darrian, Ona Zee, Kym Wilde, Steve Strong, Derek Lane
Review brief: * DIRECTOR: Gloria Leonard. * DURATION: »65mins. * STARRING: Kym Wilde, Ona Zee & Racquel Darrian. Two Hearts is a very soft, couples-oriented flick from Vivid Wave, starring Ona Zee and a young Racquel Darrian. Its a fairly standard set-up with Ona and Racquel sharing the spotlight equally. The plot was typically corny and poorly acted, sub-par even for a Vivid film, but it was light and inoffensive and Im not going to be unnecessarily harsh in this review. One warning though I clocked this DVD in at a very lean 67 minutes and I believe the VHS version is closer to 86! The big 90s hairdos aside, the women in the cast were attractive with nice bodies ranging from Onas firm voluptuousness to Racquels lean lines, and Kym Wildes natural appeal somewhere in the middle. Another thing to note is that the sex is filmed for couples and is fairly light, with a lot of R-rated shots and some missing pops. I think that actually worked to the movies advantage given the market it's aimed at. The direction was decent and the A/V quality was surprisingly good for such an old feature.

Starring: Jill Kelly, Tom Byron, T.T. Boy, Bobby Vitale, Alex Sanders, Tony Tedeschi, Vince Vouyer, Chasey Lain, Tracy Love, Kitty Monroe, Kirsty Waay
Review brief: * DIRECTOR: Paul Thomas. * DURATION: »85mins. * STARRING: Chasey Lain, Jill Kelly, Kitty Monroe, Kirsty Waay, Toni & Tracy Love. Great, another Paul Thomas-directed Vivid feature, this one starring is-she-even-awake Chasey Lain. Time to get out the ol red pen. I wont bother to comment on the plot it didnt interest me in the slightest. However, if you would like a comprehensive overview of Nymph, you should listen to Reason. I cant tell if this movie was cut and I dont really care. Plot was long and boring, women were good looking and boring, sex was cold and boring, and so on and so forth. The music wasnt too bad (at least it was quiet) but the soft filming filter was annoying and the A/V quality seemed rather poor. Didnt like it. Wouldnt recommend it. Somehow suspect it wont be the last Vivid movie I review ... Its a strange world. Chasey Lain and Bobby Vitale share a steam-less shower. Chasey is a beautiful brunette with long hair, a great body and nice hefty implants. Unfortunately, she has all the on-screen presence of roadkill.

Starring: Solveig, Heather Hunter, Mr. Marcus, Vanessa, Monique, Julian St. Jox, Byron Long, Guy DiSilva, Anna Amore, Devlin Weed, Janet Jacme
Directed by: Toni English
Review brief: * DIRECTOR: Toni English * DURATION: »75mins * STARRING: Anna Amore, Heather Hunter, Janet Jacme, Kitten, Monique & Solveig. Miss Judge is an ultra cheap-and-nasty Vivid Wave feature with a black cast headlined by the sexy Heather Hunter. Heathers the only thing going for this movie and is definitely misused here. As for the plot, well Judge Judys got nothing to worry about. The story is so stupid I dont want to talk about it and the execution was so cheesy ... so cheesy ... theres a mice joke in there somewhere, but after watching Miss Judge Im not in a joking mood. Check out reviewers review too he may, however, have watched too much porn, because he gave the plot 2 stars. Otherwise, the A/V quality was decent and the extras are the same old Wave trash that Im very sick of by now. Overall, given my experience with Vivid Wave I cant say Im really disappointed or surprised by Miss Judge. I didnt expect much and I didnt get much. Just as long as you dont pay much! SCENE 1: Anna Amore & Guy DeSilva. Guy and Anna are two really unattractive porn stars.

Starring: Asia Carrera, Michael J. Cox, Ian Daniels, T.T. Boy, Steven St. Croix, Christy Canyon, Shelby Stevens, Jenteal, Tony Tedeschi, Christa Rain, Dallas (ambiguous)
Directed by: Paul Thomas
Review brief: * DIRECTOR: Paul Thomas. * DURATION: »90mins. * STARRING: Asia Carrera, Christa Rain, Christy Canyon, Dallas, Jenteal & Shelby Stevens. OVERALL: A fun movie for Christy Canyons 90s comeback. The story is light but entertaining though, as always, Vivid sex leaves a fair bit to be desired particularly as Christy doesnt seem too enthusiastic with men. A decent film overall with some funny moments and some erotic moments, especially in the scene with Christy and Jenteal. FEMALE LOOKS: I got started in porn after Christy retired, so I dont know how she looked at her peak. Here her face is a little gaunt but she is still attractive with a natural appeal, though the famous massive (natural) breasts are starting to sag. The girls in the first three scenes Christa, Dallas and Shelby are average, and Ive never thought highly of Asias looks. Jenteal however looks gorgeous and suitably innocent for her first girl-girl scene. MALE LOOKS: About average with Ian Daniels, Michael J. Cox, Steve St. Croix, Tony Tedeschi and TT Boy.

Starring: Steven St. Croix, Celeste, Anna Malle, Joey Silvera, Nina Hartley, Marc Wallice, Nicole Lace, Nancy Vee
Directed by: Toni English
Review brief: * DIRECTOR: Toni English. * DURATION: »85mins. * STARRING: Anna Malle, Celeste, Nancy Vee, Nikole Lace & Nina Hartley. OVERALL: I really wanted to like this movie it seems so hard to find a decent Celeste film (the sexy covers tend to be misleading). Sadly, the plot is barely enough to keep viewers awake and the sex is Vivid through and through; I shouldnt have expected anything else but I took a gamble. Might be remotely of interest to couples. If anyone has recommendations for a good Celeste film please e-mail me. FEMALE LOOKS: The women sport early 90s hairstyles but were quite good-looking, particularly Celeste (as always). The other brunettes were good too Anna in a sexy business suit, Nancy in a red leather get-up and Nikole in lingerie. Nina however brought things down a notch. MALE LOOKS: The usual mix a guy with annoying long hair (Marc Wallice), a pensioner (Joey Silvera), a guy who could be good-looking but just looks weird (Woody Long) and Steven St.

Starring: Tom Byron, Felecia, Alex Sanders, Ashlyn Gere, Anna Malle, Jenna Jameson, Dallas (ambiguous)
Directed by: Layne Parker
Review brief: * DIRECTOR: Layne Parker (1995) * DURATION: »75mins * FEMMES: Anna Malle, Ashlyn Gere, Dallas, Felecia & Jenna Jameson. WELCOME to Rieekan Review #12 Photoplay (also known as Camera Shy). This is actually a VCD version, recorded from the DVD. Jenna is an impressive performer and the only movie I have of hers is Wicked Weapon, so I was interested to see her again. Shes quite young- looking here too in a good way mind, not disturbingly young. For a Vivid flick, I found the movie unusually light on plot - and I did sit through the whole thing. Jenna plays a photographer cleaned out, figuratively-speaking, by her cheating boyfriend. She comes up with a few (well, two) ideas to sort out her situation. For some reason, I just found Photoplay too succinct. Production values were otherwise good. EXTRAS: None on this VCD but its the, errrr, plot that counts. Actually, there is a Wave website ad. NOTES: This is a VCD DVD quality should be improved plus you get extras. The movie seems edited and rather short.

Directed by: Paul Thomas
Review brief: * DIRECTOR: Paul Thomas (1995) * DURATION: »80mins * FEMMES: Asia Carrera, Celeste, Crystal Gold, Laura Palmer & Tammi Ann. WELCOME to Rieekan Review #10 Trouble Maker. Celeste is my reigning All-Star Queen but didnt have many sex scenes in Borderline, though the movie itself was quite good. I was hoping Trouble Maker would be a better showcase for the busty brunette and was pleased. For some less complimentary words, jump to reviewers review. Celeste plays the trouble-making Shane, who comes between newlywed Asia & Eric Price in the name of manipulative fun. Shes found dead at the start of the movie, with the obsessive Tony Tedeschi reading letters he wrote to her as he watched her wreak havoc with others lives. The plot and acting (particularly Celestes) were pretty good, as one would hope to find in a Paul Thomas movie, the only letdowns in the production values being the clothing and music. EXTRAS: [Side A] 5 chapters, 8 bios, 3 sex scenes & website preview. [Side B] 10 previews & 15 sex scenes.
