Video/Audio: Presented in 1:33.1,
the video looks great. Artistic lighting is used throughout the dvd and
might bother some people but I think the
colors produced add to the fantasy in this one. The audio is a stereo mix and
consists mainly of music with very small amounts natural and overdubbed sounds
of the scene thrown
in.

Extras: Behind The Scenes (21
Minutes), Trailers, Slide Show

The DVD: Like the Ninn Worx
DVDs, these Nectar DVDs have a simple and effective menu layout and style
that is incredibly simple and easy to navigate. The simplicity goes all the
way to the chapters, with each scene getting one.

Review: Fans of Andrew
Blake, Michael Ninn or Cameron Blake have probably heard of Marty Zion. If
not, they will. His high quality brand of adult entertainment borrows a lot
from those three, which isn't a bad thing. Technical skill and great talent
usually combine to form something great. Mystified was like that, but that
doesn't mean this one will be. Let's see what happens this time...

Scene Breakdown:

Scene 1: Cynthia Pendragon, Nick Manning
Acts Included: Oral, Vaginal, Facial
Positions Used: Missionary, Doggy, Reverse Cowgirl

Cynthia Pendragon

Cynthia steps out of a picture frame into the
world and still remains a fine piece of art as she dances and gyrates before
Nick comes out to get an eyeful and mouthful of this young
lady. After some lengthy oral for her, Cyn moves things along with some head
and vaginal sex for Nick who pops on her face.

I'm not sure there was any reason the male performer
was even needed in this scene. Sure, they needed a dick and some cum for
the end, but there is very little "connection" between these two as far as
I
could see. Most of the time Cynthia is looking straight into the camera instead
of at her partner.

Scene 2: Ashley Long, Talon, ? Acts Included: Masturbation, Toy, Oral, Vaginal, Anal, DP, Facial Positions Used: Doggy, Missionary, Cowgirl, Reverse Cowgirl Ashley Long Leggy blonde Ashley Long strips and plays with herself getting worked up for her two guys. Fresh from the pool, they head over to Ashley to give her some oral pleasure as she stands above them. Tag team sucking and fucking follows with Miss long going all out with vaginal, anal and double penetration before taking a load on her face and belly. Nice scene, Ashley did a much better job of staying focused on her partners than on the camera. That in itself makes this scene much better than the first one. Fans of Ashley's filthy talk will just want to skip this one since there is very little live audio used.

Scene 3: Brooke, Mick Blue Acts Included: Masturbation, Oral, Vaginal Positions Used: Reverse Cowgirl, Doggy, Missionary Brooke From the looks of it, feeding fish makes Brooke horny. The fish get fed and she feels the need to undress as rain falls from the sky. Luckily for us, the rain stops but Brooke doesn't. She gets even friskier and gets in a little manual stimulation before Mick shows up to help her out. Some oral for her and some oral for him then some straight sex with a cumshot on her tits follow. Nice scene. Brooke is OK in gonzo type of movies, but the more "artsy" cinematic type of movies, like this one, seem to work better for her.

Scene 4: KelleMarie, Jessica Jaymes Acts Included: Oral, Fruit Play, Toy Positions Used: Missionary, 69, Doggy, Reverse Cowgirl Jessica Jaymes & KelleMarie KelleMarie is meeting Jessica for a nice picnic, but things start warm up quickly with out her. It seems as if Kelle has something else on her mind when she starts getting busy with herself on the shag blanket. Her friend must have had the same idea prior to arriving because she shows up nude and ready to play. A lot of licking and sticking takes place with KelleMarie creatively using Jess' pussy as a serving dish for a banana. I guess they were hungry after all. Still needing a little more to fill her up, Jessica bends over to let kelle use a strap-on on her while using a riding crop to spank her ass. Hot scene. I liked the way it moved back and forth between straight forward and slightly kinky

Scene 5: Christie, Jassie, Crystal Ray, Anthony Hardwood, Kurt Lockwood, Tristan Seagal Acts Included: Oral, Vaginal, Facial Positions Used: Missionary, Reverse Cowgirl, Cowgirl, Doggy Jassie The intro is cut short on this one, with all three women emerging between columns at the top of what looks a lot like a small coliseum. A few moments later the guys all come out and pair up with the ladies. The action is damn near synchronized. All of the girls get then give head and follow that up with some straight sex where most of the positions match. Things start to vary a little towards the end and each girl gets a different type of cumshot to mix it up a little more. Crystal gets a facial, Jassie takes hers on her tits and Christie gets it on her ass. Ok scene. With a group scene like this, even though they don't touch, the chaos is what makes these types of scenes work for me. The synchronization, intentional or not, sterilizes things a bit to much for me.

Overall Thoughts: I
was extremely impressed with Mystified which was my introduction to Nectar
Entertainment. Lighting, women, sets, music and the sex were all top notch
in that one, but this one missed the mark on a couple of things. The women,
hot. The sets, very nice, Lighting, once again, nicely done. The music, annoying.
The sex, stiff. The "rock" music didn't fit for most of the scene's slow
motion sex and was looped over and over making me feel like I wanted to press
the mute button. The stylized sex scenes had a lot going for them, but in
the end, they lacked a natural flow. That being said, the fourth scene was
my favorite of the bunch due to the fact it had a better flow of action.

This movie is well made start to finish, but the rigid feel of the sex in
many of the scenes make this one to Rent.
