American Fetish - Movie Review

I'm not sure how to describe how awful the movie American Fetish is. The acting is atrocious and the editing is absolutely haphazard. It's suppose to be some kind of classic detective story like the Maltese Falcon but the plot is so convoluted and the many dream sequences and flashbacks make it incomprehensible. Don't waste your time or money.

There is one nice thing I can say about the movie: the photography of the semi-nude women wearing classic lingerie is nice and some of the fetish scenes look pretty. But these images are so fleeting it's not worth the effort.

I got an E-mail from Rachel at Skin Two telling me about this film: We're writing to let you know about an edgy, sexy, truly provocative independent film called... AMERICAN FETISH. Inspired in part by the work of legendary fetish photographer Eric Kroll, this beautiful movie features some of the most haunting and original erotic imagery ever seen. Filmmaker Michael Simmons takes you deep into a dangerous and sexually-charged world that's almost never seen in mainstream (i.e., non-porn) movies.

But if you read that again, they don't really say it's a good movie. They must get commissions or had friends in the movie or something - That isn't a fair movie review and Skin Two has lost my respect for this blunder.

G is for Games - Book Review

G is for Games is part of the Alphabet series by Alison Tyler. It's a cute collection of short stories involving sex and games - Not to be confused with actual sex games.

Based on the title, I was expecting actual sex games: Like those board games where the dice dictate the action or those sex cards games but I was mistaken. Instead, these stories is mostly about what happens after the bet is lost in cards or billiards or Twister.

Most of the stories are heterosexual but a few are lesbian and one is a ménages-à-trois with two men and a woman. Although that one story has major male-male action and I didn't really enjoy it.

While not the most erotic book, this is passable light erotica, almost romance. Read the full review of G is for Games
