What they say
Shy 18-year-old Misty (Misty Mundae) is staying with her aunt Inga (Julian Wells) for a week in the country. Naïve and innocent, yet on the verge of sexual discovery, Misty wants to learn all she can from her seductive aunt about the desires that have begun to stir within her. Misty loses her virginity to the teenage boy next door, and it whets her appetite for further sensual adventures. So when she discovers that Inga prefers the company of beautiful young women, it unleashes Misty's deepest yearnings to see and experience each and very pleasure that lies at her fingertips. How far will Misty go…and with whom?

My Thoughts
Well, I did it. I, finally, watched one of the movies I ordered after our resident unorthodox movie fan, Jimmy.

So, did I like it? Well yeah! It was actually much better than I expected. Yet, I can't say I really knew what I was getting into. Sure, after ordering, I did look around to try and figure out what it's all about, but I was still surprised.

I just read Jimmy's review of the film (I probably should've written my own, before reading his, but oh well), and I must say, I agree with all he said. The two leads, Misty Mundae and Julian Wells, are perfect in their respective role, and I must give mucho kudos to Misty Mundae. She manages to make you actually believe that she is all innocent at the beginning of the movie. Some of the faces she makes as she sees her aunt "perform" for the "first time" in her life are priceless. And I must admit, Misty Mundae is cute as a button. I also like the fact that all the girls in the movie, look like girls you could meet anywhere. They look great, yet not too "artificial". Kudos for that.

I'll admit though, this is not entirely my cup of tea. I liked the movie, it was enjoyable, but it's not something I'd watch regularly. It may be the "first time" factor, and the fact that I'm not used to these type of movies. It may be a type of movie that grows on you, that you like more and more with time. At this point, I don't know. All I know is while I did enjoy the movie, and I'm still curious to see more, it may take a little while for me to dive in again with the other two I bought (Sinful & Chantal).

First contact has been established - let's see where it leads me

Crash, a review by Rich

Avoiding the traffic in Canada!



David Cronenberg's controversial drama examines the relationship between sex and danger. Adman James Ballard (James Spader) becomes sexually aroused by car crashes after colliding with fellow driver Dr Helen Remington (Holly Hunter). Through Helen, who shares his arousal, James meets Vaughan (Elias Koteas), who enjoys staging and causing car crashes; James then introduces his wife, Catherine (Deborah Kara Unger), to Vaughan, and the two embark on a sexual relationship. Despite being held up by the BBFC for certification, the film remains uncut on video.

An old favourite, not least for the gorgeous Holly Hunter in a number of compromising positions    Cronenberg paints a bleak picture in what at times could be described as soft porn, shocking at times but always thought provoking. Highly recommended 8/10

Often regarding as one of the worst Buffy episodes. I can understand why. They hit us over the head with the message that beer is bad. I liked Buffy the cave-slayer though.
