REVIEW-
This is a new release from a company I haven’t seen before. The box promises that this is a new generation in interactive DVDs. I don’t know what to take from that, but I know that they’ve picked a good performer for their lead girl. Charlie is good looking and generally brings a lot of energy to her scenes. She is the kind of performer that plays well for the camera and is able to connect with the audience quite well.
From the main menu we have three choices. First up is one called “Saint & Sinner.” This is Charlie by herself in four different segments. Each has a saint and a sinner selection. Using the Angle button on your remote you can choose between any of the three angles. I like the continuous multi-angle feature a lot. It lets you control the scene almost seamlessly. The action in saint and sinner differs in tone, but both sides cover the same territory. “First Course” starts out with Charlie in her business suit and has her strip down. There isn’t a lot of difference in the early action. It would have been nice to see more tease, but once Charlie starts playing with her pussy there is no slowing her down. “Glass Menagerie” has Charlie moving from her fingers to a Lucite dildo that she jams way up inside of her juicy slit. “Double Stuffed” has Charlie working the glass dildo into her ass while a pink one fills her pussy. This is good solo action overall with a lot of nice shots of the toy play.
“Lost by Amazement” and “The Gathering” are veggie scenes. They also have the multi-angle feature which is pretty cool. The group scene has some great strap-on sex from the ladies. I like the multi-angle stuff, though I’m not sure about cutting up a four-way lesbian fuck like virtual sex disc. I guess it allows you to pick your favorite parts and go with them, but it felt choppy to me.
This is a very interesting disc. Obviously you have to like Charlie and girl on girl action to really appreciate that sex involved. The continuous multi-angle feature is very cool and really allows you to choose how you want to watch the solo footage. Sexually I enjoyed the toy play the best, especially the way Charlie works herself over. Ann Marie is also very cute and adds a great deal of eye candy to the mix. There are some interesting things here. Not enough for me to recommend the DVD unless you’re really into the limited sexual activities, but it’s certainly a must see if you’re a big Charlie fan.
The Bonus Material consists of a trailer for the movie, a photo gallery and a behind the scenes reel. The photos are high quality, but there is nothing extraordinary here.
