Deviant Obsession (2002)
Why did B-movies get so cheap?
This low-budget erotic thriller that has some good points, but a lot more bad one. The plot revolves around a female lawyer trying to clear her lover who is accused of murdering his wife. Being a soft-core film, that entails her going undercover at a strip club and having sex with possible suspects. As plots go for this type of genre, not to bad. The script is okay, and the story makes enough sense for someone up at 2 AM watching this not to notice too many plot holes. But everything else in the film seems cheap. The lead actors aren't that bad, but pretty much all the supporting ones are unbelievably bad (one girl seems like she is drunk and/or high). The cinematography is badly lit, with everything looking grainy and ugly. The sound is so terrible that you can barely hear what people are saying. The worst thing in this movie is the reason you're watching it-the sex. The reason people watch these things is for hot sex scenes featuring really hot girls in Red Shoe Diary situations. The sex scenes aren't hot they're sleazy, shot in that porno style where everything is just a master shot of two people going at it. The woman also look like they are refuges from a porn shoot. I'm not trying to be rude or mean here, but they all have that breast implants and a burned out/weathered look. Even the title, "Deviant Obsession", sounds like a Hardcore flick. Not that I don't have anything against porn - in fact I love it. But I want my soft-core and my hard-core separate. What ever happened to actresses like Shannon Tweed, Jacqueline Lovell, Shannon Whirry and Kim Dawson? Women that could act and who would totally arouse you? And what happened to B erotic thrillers like Body Chemistry, Nighteyes and even Stripped to Kill. Sure, none of these where masterpieces, but at least they felt like movies. Plus, they were pushing the envelope, going beyond Hollywood's relatively prude stance on sex, sexual obsessions and perversions. Now they just make hard-core films without the hard-core sex.

Sex Files: Erotic Possessions (2000)
A soft-core ghost story.
Actually, this one isn't that bad. It's not that great, either, but good enough for a Skinamax flick. Shauna O'Brien is alright as the lead, an up and coming starlet who is possessed by the ghost of a dead 1950's actress, and actually shines in one scene at a casting call. Griffen Drew does her best performance to date (which normally isn't saying much) as the Norma Desmond-like phantom. The rest of the cast ranges from bad to decent to surprisingly good, but my big complaint is why didn't they show more of Dawn the psychic, especially at the end when she was about to start a threeway with Amber Newman and Shauna? I hate when softcore films fail to deliver. Best scene: By far the clips from the B&W movie "The Last Widow" with Griffen Drew and some guy doing a great bad "Troy McClure" acting job.
Sex Files: Alien Erotica II (2000)
What a monstrosity!
All I can say is this is horrible! HORRIBLE! The acting was terrible, the direction was non-existent, the sets where cheesy, the girls were not good looking at all, and the script (or what passed as one) was written at a 3rd grade level. Other then that, it was alright
Scandal: The Big Turn On (2000)
An erotic movie where they actual try to tell a story. Wow!
While not great, this little flick isn't bad ether. A pseudo-film noir about a private eye named Ray Malory who is hired to find out if someone's wife is being unfaithful, this film actually develops into a halfway decent mystery/detective plot for an erotic movie. Unfortunately, some sloppy and shoddy story telling, such as obvious clues (the postcard and the matchbooks in her room both have the same guy's name on them, yet the detective doesn't think they're a big deal), plot angles that don't add up (why does he ask Mrs. Sterling what JT stands for?), and cheap execution on some scenes (the thug in the jeep - how did he follow Malory?) gives the impression that this was another rushed project. Ether that, or else the writer could have given it another rewrite. The only other weakness to this film is the bad casting of some of the female roles. To be honest, a few of these girls where not that good looking, to put it lightly. Still, overall I have to say that this holds up well against any other erotic film playing on Skin
Sex Files: Sexually Bewitched (2000)
Aaagghh!!
I know I don't know much about the film industry, but doesn't a movie have to have a plot and a story, even one of these soft core specials. This thing just meanders around as we follow the most annoying characters ever. Not that we can completely blame the actors. Whomever wrote and directed this drivel should be blamed as well. Note to the filmmakers - nothing is worse then a skin flick that thinks it is clever when it is not
Passion and Romance: Double or Nothing (1997)
Whomever named this should learn to count
Three different erotic stories, each with a different degree of success (I personally like the third story the best). Still, If you don't like one story, you just have to wait up to twenty minutes till the next one. One thing, though - why is it called Double Your Pleasure when it is a trilogy?
