I enjoyed this movie. Even though it has a slow pacing, it was not boring for a minute. The actresses all did a good job. Especially the one playing the lead role of Marie. Though the ending again is like so many other independent lesbian movies. But this time I didn't mind it so much.

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.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Crusade



What's the show about?
The crew of the Excalibur searches in the galaxy for a cure that the plague the Drakh left on Earth.

What happened before?
2267, 5 years after the 5th season of "Babylon 5" the Drakh a former ally of the Shadows attacks Earth. They leave a plague on Earth which threatens to kill all life within 5 years. One of two prototype starships is ordered to find a cure to this plague. This was seen in the TV movie "A Call to Arms".

"War Zone"
What's the pilot to this show? That's a really difficult question. The storyline started with the TV movie "A Call to Arms", but none of the characters of the series was present in that movie (except Galen and Lochley). But JMS (the producer of Babylon 5) considers "War Zone" in the logical order on place 13. I still take it because it introduces the crew.

Captain Gideon takes over the command of the newly-built starship "Excalibur", one of two prototypes equipped with Human, Minbari and Vorlon technology. Gideon's mission is to find a cure for the plague that is going to wipe out all life on Earth. But first he has to take a little detour to hunt down one of the Drakh ships...

My Opinion
I haven't come around to watch this show yet. In fact this was the first time I ever watched an episode of it. Mainly because the show was canceled before it was even shown to an audience. If I like it, I'll know it will only last 14 episodes and I am somewhat confused that the order of the episodes is not the chronological order and if you watch it in the latter order uniforms change and some dialogs don't match. I've got no idea what JMS was thinking. Originally Crusade should have a 5-year-storyarc just like B5.
