Subject:          Mini-Reviews: Alexis DeVell (2/95) (fwd)


>l.u.m. ranked the the DeVell Videos he'd seen as follows:
>Southern >  Collectible, Unforgettable > Burn > See Thru

The one he couldn't remember the title of is, ironically, "Unforgettable."

I rated them:

Collectible > Southern, Burn > Unforgettable > See Thru.

I think I've done this before, but here's some capsule reviews of videos
with Alexis.  Some of them are probably overrated by me due to the
appearance of certain stars, namely Danielle Rogers, Tracy Wynn, Alicyn
Sterling, Casey, and Alexis DeVell.  I also tended to be more generous when
I first starting trying to rate videos.  So there's a downward trend to the
ratings here which are more or less in chronological order (i.e the order I
saw them).

A lot of these are from Legend/Scotty Fox.  I used to depend on those
for good rentals.

# Foreign Affairs
c 43/2W 1991 Legend, Scotty Fox
. Stacy Nichols, Mike Horner
. Melanie Moore, Tom Byron
. Tracy Wynn, Jon Dough
. Stacy Nichols, Alexis DeVell
. Tracy Wynn, Melanie Moore, Mike Horner

AFW didn't think much of it, but it was technically adequate and 
has two scenes with Tracy Wynn, so I loved it.

# Burn
c 38 1991 Legend, Scotty Fox
p The Cockateer
. Danielle Rogers, Randy Spears
. Stacy Nichols, Mike Horner
. Alexis DeVell, Teri Diver
. Alexis DeVell, Stacy Nichols, Randy West
. Raven Richards, Mike Horner

Plot: Something about a women who causes a fire in the bedroom (literally)
      everytime she has sex.  Later, she is taught about the wonders of
      Lubrication.

I liked it better than l.u.m.

# Lather
c 38/2H 1991 Legend, Scotty Fox
. Alicyn Sterling, Randy West
. Mimi Miyagi (Miyaki), Buck Adams
. Alexis DeVell, Bianca Trump
+ Monique Hall, Randy West
. Alexis DeVell, Alicyn Sterling, Steve Drake

Alicyn Sterling, Alex DeVell with adequate direction from Scotty Fox
what's not too like?  Unless, you can't stand implants, of course.

# Collectible
c 42/4H 1992 Legend, Scotty Fox
. Bionca, Jon Morgan
. Alexis DeVell, Tracy Wynn, Scott Irish
. Danielle Rogers, Randy Spears
. Danielle Rogers, Melanie Moore
. Sonja, Randy West
. Alexis DeVell, Micky Ray

Plot:  Randy Spears is a rich guy who colloects people.

Great cast: Rogers, DeVell, and Wynn (and Spears).

# Southern Exposure
c 38/3H 1992 Legend, Scotty Fox
. Alexis DeVell, Micky Ray
. Danielle Rogers, Randy Spears
. Melanie Moore, Tracy Wynn, Jon Morgan
. Danielle Rogers, Melanie Moore
. Alexis DeVell, Jon Morgan

Great againn cast: Rogers, DeVell, and Wynn (and Spears).

# Curious
c 34/3H 1992 Legend, Frank Marino
. Malia, Mike Horner
. Shayla, Randy Spears
. Alexis DeVell, T.T. Boy
. Shayla, Jane B
. Malia, Jane B

Frank Marino is no Scotty Fox (or maybe he is), but even he can't
screw up an video with Alexis and Shayla too badly.

# Jack the Stripper
c 36/3H/2E 1992 Moonlight, Scotty Fox
. Chanel, Jon Morgan
. Fantasia, Mike Horner
. Alexis DeVell, Chanel
. Alexis DeVell, Jon Morgan
. Dominique Simone, Mike Horner

Plot: Jon Morgan time travels back to England in the 1800's
      to catch Jack the Stripper.

Not that great, as I recall.

# The Cockateer
c 42/3H 1991 Legend, Scotty Fox
p Lather
. Mimi Miyagi (Miyaki), Randy West
. Alexis DeVell, Buck Adams
. Alexis DeVell, T.T. Boy
. Bianca Trump, Jake Steed
. Madison, Buck Adams

Plot: Spoof of the Rocketeer and Batman

I liked Mimi Miyagi's scene, and both of Alexis' scencs

# The Cockateer 2
c 36 1992 Legend, Scotty Fox
. Casey, Alexis DeVell
+ Alexis DeVell, Randy West
. Francesca Le, Shayla (LaVeaux), T.T. Boy
. Shayla (LaVeaux)
. Casey, Buck Adams
. Francesca Le, Randy West

Casey is one of my all-time favorites.  The rest of the cast is
pretty good too.

# The Strip
c 27 1992 Sin City
. Melanie Moore, Wayne Summers
. Melanie Moore, Ron Hightower
+ Alexis DeVell, Jon Morgan
. Mona Lisa, Mike Jordan
. Anisa, Ron Hightower

Not very good at all.  But Alexis looks good even in a crappy video.

# The Perfect Pair
c 41/3H/2E 1991 Legend, Scotty Fox
p Foreign Affairs
+ Alexis DeVell, Peter North
. Alexandria Quinn
+ Nikki Wild, Jon Dough
+ Ashley Nicole, Peter North
. Alexis DeVell, Ashley Nicole
. Alexandria Quinn, Mike Horner

I thought this was quite good.  Nikki Wild is awesome.

# See Thru
c 32/4H 1992 Legend, Scotty Fox
. Alicia Rio, Randy Spears
. Christina Applay, T.T. Boy
. Francesca Le, Fantasia, Jane B, Steve Drake, T.T. Boy
. Christina Applay, Alicia Rio
. Alexis DeVell, Randy Spears

Cheezy video effects make Randy Spears invisibily, and the Bad Guys
are out to get his formula.

# Unforgettable
c 33/3E 1992 Hollywood, Jim Enright
. Meekah, Melanie Moore, Jon Morgan
. Alexis DeVell, Peter North
. Lois Ayres, Jon Morgan
. Melanie Moore, Peter North
. Alexis DeVell, Lois Ayres

This is one l.u.m couldn't remember the name of.  Maybe he was making
a joke.  It has an cute little twight-light zone twist in the end..

Lois Ayers has nice scene with Jon Morgan.  One the last of that I've
seen her in.  I assume she's retired, or out dancing the circuit.

# Poor Little Rich Girl, Part 1
c 34/3V 1992 X-citement, Jim Enright
. Alexis DeVell, Steve Drake
. Celeste, Tom Byron
. Crystal Wilder, Randy West
. Alicia Rio, Mona Lisa
. Alicia Rio, Jon Dough

Not bad.

# Slow Hand
c 36
. Alexis DeVell, Tom Byron
. Alex Jordan, Crystal Wilder
. Alex Jordan, Tom Byron
. Crystal Wilder, Terry Thomas
. Alexis DeVell, Mike Horner

Two good scenes with Alexis, as I recall.

# For the Money
c 34 1993 FHV
. Alexis DeVell, Damien Zeus
. Shayla, Damien Zeus
. Jane, Tom Byron
. Alex Jordan, Peter North
. Alexis DeVell, Serenity

Not bad.

# The Lady in Red
c 36/3E 1992 VCA, Ed Dinero
. Alexis DeVell, Melanie Moore
. Sierra, Melanie Moore, Tom Byron
. Heather Hart, Terry White
. Meekah, Marc Wallice
. Alexis DeVell, Tom Byron

Not enough DeVell, and too much Byron.  But several of my other favorites
appear: Sierra, Heather Hart, and Meekah.

# Hungry, Part One
c 41/2H 1993 Sin City, Paul Norman
. Shayla, Peter North
. Samantha Strong, Nick East
. Alicia Rio, Cal Jammer
. Alexis DeVell, Jon Dough
. Samantha Strong, Shayla
- - Samantha Strong, Jon Dough

# Hungry, Part Two
c 38/4V 1993 Sin City, Paul Norman
. Samantha Strong, Peter North
. Shayla, Alicia Rio
. Alexis DeVell, Peter North
, Samantha Strong, Woody Long

Plot: Peter North and Samantha Strong are sexual vampire.
      DeVell, Dough, and Long  are cops on their trail.

Moody vampire stuff from Paul Norman.  In terms of acting the
role of the suave vampire was too big a stretch for Peter North.
It would have been less laughable with Rocco Siffredi in the role.
Rocco has done a couple vampire films (Intercourse with a Vampire 1&2,
Ejacula) but the script and direction are better here.

High rating is for Samantha Strong, and Alexis DeVell, and for the
overall mood.  Last scene with DeVell/North & Strong/Long was my
favorite, too bad they never switch-off.

# Prince of Lies
c 29 1992 Legend, Frank Marino
. Tanya Storm, Randy West
. Persia, Mike Horner
. Alexis DeVell, Mona Lisa
. Mona Lisa, Tanya Storm, Mike Horner
. Alexis DeVell, Randy Spears

I think Frank Marino was still learning his craft when he made this one.
Tanya Storm and Persia are not my cup of tea.

# Checkmate
c 30/3H 1992 CDI, Jack Stephen
. Mona Lisa, Joel Lawrence
. Alexis DeVell, Joel Lawrence
. Alicia Rio, Lorrin Mick, Peter North, Steve Drake, &
  Tony Tedeschi, Jake Williams
. Tianna Taylor, Ona Zee

Kind of a rip-off.  Only four scenes.  The box-cover girl, Alexis only
appears in one scene with a schmoe name Joel Lawrence.  Worse Tianna Taylor
only does a girl/girl scene.  A lot of CDI/Jack Stephen videos are like
this--beautiful but misleading box covers for crappy videos.

# Servants of Midnight
c 28/2.5W 1992 CDI, Jack Stephen
. Ona Zee, Steve Drake
. Alexis DeVell, Ona Zee
. Sonja, Tony Tedeschi
, Shauna Rose, Jake Williams
. Tianna Taylor, Joel Lawrence

Another vampire-themed video.  It sucked.  Another CDI/Jack Stephen
piece of junk.

# Jezebel
c 32/3H 1993 Sin City, Paul Norman
. Sunset Thomas, Zach Thomas
. Alexis DeVell, Melanie Moore
. Sunset Thomas, Jon Dough
. Eve, Zach Thomas
. Sunset Thomas, Peter North, Marc Wallice

Disappointing.  Alexis only in one lesbian scene, and three scenes with
Sunset doesn't quite make up for it.  doesn't quite take up the slack.  Has
anyone seen part 2?  Does Alexis see more action in that half?

# Wild Innocence
c 31/4H 1992 Pleasure, Paul Norman
. Celeste, Woody Long
. Shayla, Alexis DeVell, Patricia Kennedy
* Celeste, Steve Drake
. Shayla, Patricia Kennedy, Woody Long
. Shayla, E.Z. Ryder

Disappointing.  Alexis only in one lesbian scene, and three scenes
with Shayla doesn't quite make up for it.

# Kadillac and DeVell
c 28/3H 1993 Zane, John T. Bone
. Nikki Sinn, Jon Morgan
. Debi Diamond, T.T. Boy
. Sierra, Marc Wallice
. Alexis DeVell, Debi Diamond
. Alexis DeVell, Crystal Wilder, Jon Morgan

Plot: A cop-buddy film.  Jon Morgan is a law officier from Texas, and
      DeVell is her big city partner.  They're out to solve the murder
      of a porn star.

Disappointing.  Many scenes are poorly lit.  Best scene: Sierra and Marc
Wallace

# The Original Wicked Woman
c 29 1993 Wicked, Jim Enright
. Chasey Lain, Tom Byron
. Isis Nile, Stephen St. Croix
. PJ Sparx, Chasey Lain
. Sahara Sands, Joey Murphy, Jake Williams
. Celeste, Woody Long, Beatrice Valle
. Alexis DeVell, Chasey Lain

Disappointing.  Alexis only in one lesbian scene.

# Within and Without You
c 31/4V 1993 Wicked, Paul Norman
. Alexis DeVell, Peter North
. Serenity, Lana Sands
. Shayla, Tom Byron
. Alicia Rio, John
. Alexis DeVell, Shayla, Peter North

Plot: Alexis is a porn star, and Shayla is her prudish roommate.  A magic
      crystal causes them to switch bodies.

AFW gave a good rating, but I was a little disappointed.  I think it had a
lot of promise that it didn't deliver on.  Alexis' first scene with Peter
North is pretty good (best of film), as is Shayla's scene with Tom Byron (2nd).
