This is the first time I ever seen this movie. And I must say... I enjoyed every minute of it. Very good story... loaded with action... and even has a chuckle or two (thinking the fight with that huge Russian here). I never read any of the comics... so don't know how the movie compares to them. But if this movie is pretty close to the comics I wouldn't mind reading a few. I highly recommend this one if you never seen it.

Plot:Time to return to what my review topic is suppose to be about : less known movie. No controversy this time I promise...

This film is one of the three erotic movies from Seduction Cinema that I've received last week. Like Chantal this is a very professionally made film with an interesting story, professional actresses and a big plus for me : not film on digital (I don't like the look of the film made with a digital camera that looks cheap). The story is about a young teenager who live with her aunt for a week because something happen to her mother, but the movie doesn't tell what. Misty on her short stay will experience and learn about her sexuality with herself, man and woman.

For playing a young girl Misty Mundae is the perfect choice, she is very young looking and she looks very innocent. Julian Wells is perfect too for the role of the older aunt. The rest of the cast is not bad either, but the only other character who talk in this film is Mario Duchi (so the not so bad is more for the look than the acting).

Since this is an erotic movie the sex scenes are important. Contrary to Chantal the sex in this one is exciting and sound realistic even if it's fake. What I means is that this not mechanic we feel the love and they don't act stupid like in xxx movies. They don't shout (yes! Yes! Harder! ...) but they heave sighs and this is very sensual and really exciting. The movie score is really good and include as a bonus disc (it's always pleasing to be surprise since it was not mention in the dvd details).

Another film that I recommand if you like the genre and this one is more conventional than Chantal.

I never missed an episode when this series originally aired. At first I saw the first few seasons on German TV (pre-DVD and pre-broadband internet era made it hard to be able to see anything in the original language). Soon I discovered English transcripts of the latest episodes on the net and found out this way, that the German translation was horrible compared to the original.
The pilot does a good job introducing the characters. But it is hardly one of the better episodes.
