Good afternoon class, and welcome to Professor Lu's Pornology 101! Before we review this Vivid video release, I should give you some background on Roxanne Hall, most specifically her performance in a certain fetish video from the late 90s entitled Dark Paradise, where she plays the most eager-to-please submissive as the property of Ms. Shayla LaVeaux, and also sometime servant of Fetish Diva Midori. The movie includes a pony training scene where Roxanne is cinched into a body harness with more buckles than you'd ever be able to maneuver, and a mouthbit, and, while pulling Shayla in a two-wheeled cart, is required to keep a nicely sized butt plug with horse tail attached in place as she steps smartly in her high-heeled boots doing her best dressage impression. Afterwards, as a reward, the inimitable Ms. LaVeaux attaches a large rubber dildo to the end of one of her own spiked heels, and sets about bringing her little slave to orgasm, but taking her sweet time doing it.
Fast forward to now: the current picture is a Vivid video production, and, as faithful readers of my reviews will note, carries on the tradition of the highest artistic format in the industry. Several things stand out here, primarily that the slightly grainy quality of the rendering gives the video the appearance of a film (these are what we watched before DVDs were invented,) and the fact that this production is much, much more story-oriented with some sex inserted, than a whole lot of sex with some stilted dialogue inserted. There is an actual plot involved which is incredibly easy to follow: Lezley Zen is the dissatisfied girlfriend of the incredibly sweet, but unfortunately underfunded landscaper Tom (played by Dale Dabone), who, after a surreptitious automobile accident where she nearly totals his Jaguar, takes Jim (Nick Manning) out to dinner and a cheap hotel for some extracurricular activities. Alec Metro is the multi-millionaire husband of beautiful Roxanne Hall, who is the quintessential pampered housewife with nothing better to do with her time than wander the premises naked teasing the hired help and eventually falling into an afternoon tryst with Dabone which her aloof husband catches on tape and promptly uses as grounds for divorce. His interests are well looked after, however, since Kira Kener, the stunning beauty who seduces him after one of his many seminars, has recently become his eager paramour.
Spectacular performances are turned in by Sharon Wild (the itinerant maid in Alec Metro’s home) whose jealousy lands her in Tom’s arms at the end of the film, and Reina Leone who plays Kira’s body double in the steamy scene where she fantasizes about making love to herself (wouldn’t we all if we were her? I would). Video extras include scenes from other Kira Kener movies, instant access to your favorite positions, and stills from the movie, as well as previews of upcoming releases and bios of each of the girls. Your assignment then, class, is to have a detailed description of how video quality, story aspects and level of performance of the actors has succeeded in taking pornography in a new direction, and your own reflections on how this piece affected you. That’s all for now, see you all on Monday!
