Jiminy crickets, they have listings for Seduction Cinema now?? If I admit to seeing a few, will that automatically terminate my Super Reviewer status? Which is more important, maintaining my artistic integrity or my journalistic integrity?Ah, screw it...I believe this was the first Seduction Cinema offering I saw,
and I must admit I enjoyed the mix of stupid comedy and ample nudity. Face it, sex can be funny, and the players in these SC pictures leave all inhibitions and pretensions behind. There's something very appealing about a girl who doesn't take herself too seriously. Darian Caine leads the charge in this knockoff of Ridley Scott's Gladiator, and I liked this version better than that overblown melodramatic masquerade, which itself was a ripoff of The Fall of the Roman Empire. Interesting to note her voice is the only one overdubbed (I didn't discover this until seeing her in other roles), substituting a huskier tone. Probably not a bad idea as I also later learned that mouthing dialogue isn't her strongest suit. She has two main talents, and I'm sure you can guess what they are. Some pretty funny lowbrow comedy gets mixed in (the history lesson in particular is a riot) between the bump & grind for one of SC's best features.
