From: [email protected] (DCOLDMAN) Newsgroups: rec.arts.movies.erotica Subject: REVIEW - The Hungry Heart Date: Tue, 22 Apr 97 01:27:59 Organization: Posted via CAIS InternetLines: 111 Review: The Hungry Heart From: Alpha-Omega Video Running time: approximately 1:46 Starring: Shanna McCullough, Nici Sterling, Sid Deuce, Missy, Lovette, Suzi Suzuki, Alex Sanders, Marc Davis, Mickey, Wilde Oscar, Rick Masters, Dave Hardman Rating: 3 out of 5 Produced by : Patti Rhoades Shanna McCullough, Sid Deuce (E,F), Alex Sanders Missy (E,F), Mickey (A) Sid Deuce (E,Bj,F), Alex Sanders Nici Sterling (E,Bj,F,A), Wilde Oscar Lovette (E,Bj,F,A), Tom Byron Suzi Suzuki (E,Bj,F,DP), Rick Masters, Dave Hardman Shanna McCullough (E,Fi,Bj,F), Marc Davis The basic plot line is about a dominatrix (Shanna McCullough) who longs for love. She became a dom after catching her husband (Mickey) fucking a dom (Missy), then the dom fucking her husband! Poolguy Marc Davis also got his heart broken after catching his wife being DP'd, and they find each other and heal each other. Awww. Sorry for the sarcasm, but I thought only Hollywood put out this kindof predictable tripe. This premise has got potential for some really slam-bang sex, but only turns out good sex. 1: McCullough ("Marquessa": "Marquis de Sade" means "Man of Steel", wonder if this really means anything) gets Sanders and Deuce to dominate. Deuce gets safety-handcuffed down to a pool table while Sanders has to stand, blindfolded at first and handcuffed to a pole throughout, and only watch. The Marquessa tells Sanders what she's going to do to his wife. She engages in a legal necessity; pulls up the Velcro straps so the censors can see that the woman isn't actually tied down, Heaven forfend, and eats her before donning a plastic phallus and doing her doggie and missionary. There's lots of dirty talk, and it's an okay scene, but I can't think ofa "Strap-On Sally" that DIDN'T have a better g/g fuck. Medium high heat. 2: McCullough relates to Nici Sterling how she became a dom; coming home and catching Missy, dressed in some fine dom's submissive gear herself, squatting over her husband and making him lick her pussy. He's wearing a hood with spots for his eyes, nose and mouth, as well as some kind of rope collar and rope leash. Missy makes him do her doggie style, but, after asking him if he wants to do her ass, turns the tables and does HIS ass with a strap-on instead. I am totally disinterested in this, but, I will admit, Missy's ass looked great, going up an down. I'd like to see what she can do to a woman. Anyway, after he lies down and comes while she jerks him off, McCullough charges in, apparently upset at this last transgression most of all, and kicks them out. Thus begins the career of the Dark Knight! Excuse me, I mean, "Marquessa." 3: She's wondering what how that couple from earlier is doing. Cut to some {yawn} pseudo-romantic scene with Sanders and Sid Deuce in a tub with some bubble water. Not down in it, you understand, just mostly standing in it. He eats her, she goes down on him, he does her missionary and doggie before coming on her ass. I HATE the bathtub scene in movies; it doesn't work out very well in real life and, in movies, it's often just a substitute for any real romantic tension. This scene never gets more than warm for me. 4: She also gets to watch a couple in love doing it in her house while she watches them almost secretly, longingly from a distance. Real-life couple Nici Sterling and Wilde Oscar get down and dirty on her couch. Nici sits beside him and leans over to suck him while he fingers her. By the time he gets to fuck her missionary, it's obvious that here's a couple who really knows how to have sex with each other. They keep it up for a while before switching to sidesaddle and doggie, Oscar's hips moving like he's actually fucking her doggie style, insteadof posing behind her for the stills. She climbs on top of him cowgirl before going into reverse, anally speaking. She gets on her knees for the cum in her mouth and sucks out the rest like she gets to do it all the time. One of the better scenes. 5: McCullough return to her dominatrix duties, dressed in neoprene and commanding a young couple, Tom Byron and Lovette, to stand before her naked and giving them lots of "my slave" talk, lots of "I own you" talk. It's interesting, but there's something wrong with her face, like she's had a lot of plastic surgery around her face. It's distracting. She of the riding crop makes Tom lick "Brittany's" (Lovette) shoes and then on up. The whole scene never rings true for me, but I've always found Lovette to be a little... artificial; seeing her get her butt slapped makes me think she's acting (Careena Collins she ain't). She makes Lovette climb on top cowgirl, then down on the floor doggie. Then she makes Tom get in Lovette's ass for a minute or two before pulling out for an a2m. If you like Lovette you'll like this scene. 6: Then Mark Davis explains his tragic story. Seems he came home to find his wife, Suzi Suzuki, being fingered by Dave Hardman while sucking on Rick Masters. This whole scene has an annoyingly high level of unsexy music that downs out a lot of the sex sounds, and is shot through some kind of fuzzy filter that makes everything seem altered. In a bad way. Hardman gets to fuck her standing doggie for a while, then Masters gets to fuck her missionary on the pool table while Hardman lies above her head and she sucks him off. Then straight to a DP, which she seems to be intoas her long black hair bounces back and forth, but which seems kind of short before they pull out to come all over her ass. This scene almost seems to have been shot at another time entirely and is only about six minutes long. It's very hard to get a sexy scene with all those things working against it, and it ends up only okay. 7: Ah, true love is obtained. Sex in the shower, lots of inclement kissing, all the usual stuff, missionary, doggie. I guess true love doesn't include anal. But it does include coming on the face. At least Marc getsto stop acting, thank G. Closeups should not be automatically verboten in a couples movie; they provide for a means to illustrate the intensity of the moment. There aren't many here, and the ones there are don't feel very "close." All the anal don't really work for this, and neither does the romance. Too, bad, really. But Shanna McCullough fans will probably be ecstatic over her return to porno, so go knock yourselves out. -- I've got spurs that jingle jangle jingle. As I go riding merrily along. And that song, "Ain't you glad you're single?" And that song ain't so very far from wrong.
