Rating: AAAA Some of the directors who excel at shooting dialogue have figured out that eroticism remains the most important element of an adult video, and the clever new feature The Reel World is director Frank Marino's best work. Hot, nasty and very sexual, it's Forbidden's best video to date.

In the cinema verite style that has become the standard for sexvids trying to portray true and realistic sex, The Reel World, with its purpose­fully shaky handheld camerawork, vignette party atmosphere (like the MTV show it mimics), rock and roll score and talking-head filler, provides a great showcase for the beautiful blonde Christina Angel (reviewed in John Leslie's Dog Walker this issue). She swallows Alex Sanders' cock before their scene escalates into a raucous scene, and gets nastily hanged by Gerry Pike in the sexvid's finale.

In between, the absolutely insane Lacy Rose devours Nick East...she has the look of a tiger in her eyes; he spits on her pussy while fucking her and coming on her ass. It's as dirty as Frank Marino has ever been, and the video truly soars in that segment. A fine kitchen scene has dark-skinned Lana Sands giving Mickey Ray a fine humping. And Lacy has her way with Dyanna Lauren as well.

You've seen this style before, but The Reel World is sexually and stylistically on target. In pretty packaging, retailers should check this one off as a definite new release to carry. Also appearing: Jonathan Morgan.
