The Heiress

I'm tired of reading hype (by publicists & so-called press) about how major Adult labels like Private, Digital Playground and Wicked are carrying on glorious traditions. "The Heiress" from Private, touted as following in the spirit of high-end hits, turns out to be poorly directed and acted mindless sex filler.

A brief dollop of plot (about sisters inheriting a fortune) gives way instantly to gonzo all-sex, as Private gives up the ghost of big-budget adventures past.

Newcomer Marie Berger is a non-starter as actress and sex performer, reciting her lines in English as if parroting phonetically, and frequently looking at the camera during her sex scenes.

She's introduced as title star Angelika Grays' new-found stepsister, who shares their late daddy's fortune. All they do with it is have sex with studs, gal pals like Geishakyd and Tory Sweety, and each other (faux incest remains a must this season) on lovely Spanish locations.

There's no drama or conflict here, just sex. A far cry from the studio's well-remembered classics of old, like Tatiana, Virtualia, Millionaire and Cleopatra.
