Rock and Roll Fantasy (1992)

Attention Ladies

[9/10 · 9 January 2008]

OK, I know that most ladies would probably avoid a title like "Sorority House Party" like the proverbial plague. That would be a mistake, because this is a fun, sexy movie custom made for us.

The gorgeous male model Attila plays Jamie Z., a rock star who is the victim of an attempted murder plot. He's also comically 'kidnapped' by a fan named Alex, with whom he eventually becomes involved.

I liked the way that Jamie bypassed the glamorous, Playboy-type models found at Alex' sorority house in favor of her, a wholesomely pretty, hardworking, intelligent young woman. Their scenes together are both sweet and sizzling hot; I also enjoyed Alex' interaction with her best friend, a tough-talking party girl who adds a 'Thelma and Louise' element to the proceedings.

As other reviewers have noted, a few of the supporting players might have caught a few more acting lessons before participating. But I thought that the two leads brought their characters to life very well, making for a fun romance we ladies can enjoy.

Haunting Desires (2004 TV Movie)

Ladies, take note!

[9/10 · 22 July 2004]

Ladies, the next time your boyfriend suggests the rental of an erotic movie, steer him away from "Bikini Bimbos Blitz Part 40" and toward "Haunting Desires."

Ignore the pouty lass on the front cover; the one with the intimidatingly large breasts who (as far as I can tell) wasn't even in the video. This film boasts a leading man performance by the gorgeous porn star Evan Stone, who plays the vampire Adrian.

The subject of Adrian's blood lust is a smart, spunky reporter named Jill. Jill is one of the few bright, purposeful heroines I've seen in a softcore film, and she was played with refreshing skill by Beverly Lynne. With the help of a policeman sidekick, the witty Jay Richardson, she investigates the murder of a patron at Adrian's night club; an eerie midnight social club known as the Underworld.

As the investigation continues, Jill is faced with several questions. Are these people vampires? Who will be the next victim? Do the girls who work at Adrian's club have an allergic reaction to all forms of clothing? (O.K., maybe that was just a question I was facing. I'm sure the guys will appreciate all the beautiful women in the film, including Lynne, Kylie Wyote, Fallon Pfeifer, and Jenna West.)

Jill's biggest challenge lies in resisting the temptation of Adrian himself, played with seductive charm by Stone. Generally an adult film actor, he shines in this softcore role; I hope he does more mainstream films. His character's intimate interaction with Jill is the best part of the film.

"Haunting Desires" is a film for those who enjoy sexy vampire flicks, erotic thrillers, and 'escapist' entertainment. And Ladies, you'll never find a sexier 'neck biter' than good IL' Adrian.

Baby Rosemary (1976)

Awful

[1/10 · 20 July 2004]

I may not be qualified to review this title, as I only made it through the first ten minutes. Yet in that time, I saw the heroine being humiliated by a man who supposedly cared for her and then raped at knifepoint.

Granted, I didn't go in expecting The Color Purple. Yet I was expecting an intelligent adult film, not a horror movie. And while I'm definitely not a censorship maven (indeed, I work for an adult magazine), I really wish that filmmakers would stop confusing rape with sex.

No offense to Candida Royalle and John Leslie, both of whom I adore. I'm just glad they've bone gone on to bigger (and better) things. This movie, for its part, needs to go in the trash.
