What a waste of my time!!!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

In the world of cinema, typical viewers of both sexes usually get exactly what they want. Many Directors would give their eye teeth to be able to make a truly independent film but the financial pressures associated with high production costs, together with overproduction (to the extent that a large proportion of new films exhaust their market potential long before these costs have even been fully recovered), create enormous pressures to spoon feed audiences with a product that is generally satisfying but can seldom be stimulating or challenging. This is particularly true of the late night films created primarily for the hotel industry. Audiences are largely business professionals, administrators or technologists, all relaxing after long and tiring days spent meeting their peers in the course of their normal working lives, together with a smaller proportion of married couples on infrequent holidays intended to recapture a little of the romance that can quickly fade under the tribulations of daily living. The films are usually not mainstream cinematography directed towards viewers who visit a cinema to share the experience of viewing a film with their contemporaries, but the hotel market remains a valid and socially important part of the cinema audience. Films with some erotic content appeal to most of this captive audience viewing in their hotel bedrooms, and can be produced quite inexpensively so (untypically) commercial success can often be achieved with products of relatively low production quality that only have an extremely transient market life. This has unfortunately seriously degraded the typical quality of the films selected by major hotel chains for showing, and worse has also led to an undesirable distinction developing between "legitimate" and "soft-core" production companies. Movies from the latter now frequently even forgo the luxury of a real story line with real characters, instead simply stringing together, with a gossamer thin tread of cohesive dialogue, a series of 5 or 6 minute cameo sexual couplings by characters that are never introduced and often do not even have any real dialogue to deliver - one early one featured a group of cheerleaders watching a football game whilst discussing the capabilities of the various players as studs, of course with appropriate flashbacks. Unfortunately Sinful Desires is one of the films in this category. A radio call in sex show host takes a series of callers who each tell their story about an experience which can be shown on screen in flashback. Plenty of variety in the bodies on show and little call for any meaningful dialogue! MRG Entertainment who created this film have also produced many others like it. Generally speaking they are slick, well performed and easy to watch. Many of them, including this one, also feature a crime thriller thread in the rather meagre connecting material; but there is seldom time for this to be developed in a meaningful manner and after watching a few such films they quickly become dreadfully boring. In this case the acting was even more limited than usual and I found that the sex scenes reminded me more of a modern ballet with ritualistic movements representing rather than depicting what was going on in the film. (done deliberately this could be an interesting theme for some future film or dance presentation).When rating a film I always try to judge it as I would if its subject was something I was anxious to watch, but even so my rating for Sinful Desires would be no higher than 1 star. Nevertheless such films typically receive a mean viewer rating of 3 or even 4 stars from IMDb viewers, and this one is currently rated as high as 4.5 stars so my judgment is not typical here. Clearly they are of interest to their intended audience and I have no intention of criticising their availability; but, when alone in a hotel away from home, oh how I wish that at least one of the films on offer could provide a more varied erotic appeal. I think of Emmanuelle, far from the first erotic film but perhaps the one with modern production values that gave the entire genre respectability, of Amelie which I would love to watch again, of Away from Her - an unforgettable although very different erotic film, of Nine Songs, and Laura - Les Ombres d'Ete, as well as many others. Come on MRG Entertainment, think about the cinema as well as the hotel bedroom and try your hands at producing a few films like these to help close the rapidly widening and potentially disastrous gulf between soft-core film producers and the mainstream industry. You are capable of doing it. .

Jacy Andrews had serious potential in softcore, folks. Before she decided to hang it up early, she made some pretty good flicks. "Sinful Desires" is a good one, and it's the sole reason Jacy Andrews was able to crack my list of the best Skinemax babes.Since this is an MRG Entertainment movie, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect, and that's what I got. It starts with Angelica Weston (Jacy Andrews), who uses the stage name "Gia" for her live late-night call-in radio show. In my opinion, it's very similar to the show Angela Davies presides over in "Best Sex Ever." The guests call in, share some sexual fantasies, Gia lays it on thick with the innuendo-laced dialogue, end of show.Gia's show has been surging in the ratings lately, and her station manager, Jonathan (Craig Field) wants to relentlessly promote her show with billboards featuring Gia's face. The problem is that "Gia" is Angelica, and she wants "Gia" to remain her faceless alter-ego. She wants no part of the publicity. This leads to a tug-of-war with her boss, and off she goes to Jake's Bar, the local watering hole where her buddy Lorena (Nikita Cash) tends bar.We're all waiting for the plot to be set in motion, and about a half-hour in, it finally does. Someone is stalking Gia, and the stalker has been calling in to her show, giving out intimate secrets as to who "Gia" really is. The stalker has pictures of Gia in compromising situations, including her latest sexual escapade with a man she finds out later is the advertising executive in charge of the ad campaign Angelica wants nothing to do with. Above all, the stalker knows what happened to Jake--the Jake of Jake's Bar, who Angelica had a real thing for.If anyone out there is wondering who could've known all of this and be anonymous, it's very simple. In an MRG movie with a "whodunit" type of plot, the culprit is always someone close to the action--in this case, it's Lorena. You see, she had a thing for Jake, too, and after she watched Jake and Angelica have sex in the bar one evening, she snapped--and killed Jake. She admits to it toward the end, which leads to the cops arresting her almost immediately. To wrap things up, Angelica and her new boyfriend--her show's producer, go figure--to have sex in front of a live radio audience as the movie fades to black. Not the most innovative plot, but it serves its purpose.The sex scenes were good. Recently, MRG Entertainment has been pushing sex scenes in the "almost hardcore" direction, and it seems to be a turn for the better. Lots of screaming, skin slapping, and realistic movement--all winners with me. Jacy Andrews had three good sex scenes, and a solo scene for good measure. Nakita Cash got down a couple of times, and they were okay. Sunrise Adams, a fairly well-known hardcore actress, makes a cameo for the required sex scene during the opening credits.I'd consider this movie tapeworthy, although if I had to pick either this film or "Dangerous Pleasures", another great Jacy flick, I'd go with the latter.Women: A- (This film relies heavily on Jacy, so the grade is mostly attributed to her. Nakita Cash gets some credit for looking nice as well. It didn't hurt that Sunrise Adams made a guest appearance.) Sex: B+ (It was solid, but it could've been a little better--especially Nakita Cash's sex scenes. The second one was pretty short.) Story: B (I liked it, and it didn't have too many holes. Of course, the ending left a lot to be desired, but I wasn't expecting a shocker there.)Overall: B+ (Solid, very solid film. Jacy Andrews...what more can I say about her. She could be in just as many films as Beverly Lynne if she wanted to. "Sinful Desires" is a good flick, and it wouldn't hurt to tape it and watch it again later.)

Sinful Desires is another Marc Greenberg production, one of many in his soft porn mold of skin, sex, and some sort of challenge to the protagonist's security. The formula usually works, and this movie is certainly watchable. It features Jacy Andreas as Angelica Westin, aka Gia, radio hostess of Night Watch, "an erotic exploration into the world of sex," featuring the outrageous sexual adventures of her enthusiastic callers. Her show is growing in popularity, but her station boss Johnathan has bigger plans for her. He wants to use her face in a promotional campaign, while Angelica wishes to keep her real persona private. As this debate simmers, Angelica begins receiving intrusive photographs of herself at home, in transit, or in her intimate moments. The correspondent has obviously been too close for comfort, and Angelica must eliminate this stalking threat in order to restore her career and security.Again, the plot is simple but workable, the actors are credible and convincing, and transitions are reasonable. Naturally, the various callers' stories present opportunities for multiple beauties and studs to perform, and the nudity and erotic encounters are enjoyable. Though the story line is lightweight, the combination is still as watchable as most Greenberg soft porn.Plot: C+. Formulaic, but effective. Acting: B. Good enough. Women: B.Sexy enough, and numerous, with all the different caller stories. Men: B. Seemed OK, but what do I know? Eroticism: B. Overall: B. All right, just no great thrills here.

This movie has a good story, even for a soft-adult (soft-porn) movie.A late-night radio host is stocked. The mystery is who is stocking her, and the answers are no more obvious than for a normal mystery.The women are beautiful and there is ample opportunity to see their naked ("natural") bodies; so much so that some viewers will wish the movie would get back to the story.Except for the long sex scenes, in which many seem to be more than acting, the movies moves pretty quickly.I am not a good judge of acting ability, but the acting in this movie also seems quite good.
