Angel Eyes

Sexy and steamy B-movie, with gorgeous girls (both Monique Gabrielle - my favorite of all time - and Raven - a pornstar doing a great job as an actress in this "mainstream" movie - are among the most beatufiul women you may dream of in your life), nothing of a plot to disturb you and a plethora of great softcore scenes, very erotic. A pleasure for the eyes, but not much of a movie. But if you rent this one, you're not searching for a great story arc anyway. So, it's time to use your fast forward button and go to the interesting parts. Anyway, both the girls are better actresses than you may think and you may find able to enjoy all the movie instead.

Many modern B-movies, especially the Erotic Thriller kind, take themselves much too seriously and consequently suffer - because the viewer never does. Some B-movies therefore go to the other extreme and spoof themselves, like the Vice Academy series. This does not work very well either, because this genre is very difficult to spoof, unless you are satisfied with the slapstick version.

Much better is the approach taken in this film: it does not take itself seriously one minute, although all the sex and violence are played straight (albeit bordering on the farcical side). It is sleazy, it knows it is sleazy, it has fun being sleazy. In a way it relates to the majority of modern B-movies as Destry Rides Again (1939) relates to the majority of Westerns. In other words, it is tongue-in-cheek, but it plays strictly by the genre rules, and the result is much better than the average genre entry.

Angel Eyes is one of those movies very few people rent for quality entertainment or intense plot, instead only if you enjoy wildly erotic sex scenes. This movie definitely delivers plenty of flesh. Monique Gabrielle's purpose in this film is obvious: to show off her beautiful body. This movie climaxes with an intense and very real looking (one makes you wonder how actors can fake some sex scenes with a beautiful woman that is very close to the real thing) sex scene which turns bloody. If blood, bad plot, poor acting, but great sex scenes is what you're looking for, rent this movie.

This chic flick has such poor acting it was hard to sit through. A plump teen goes on a killing streak. Unless you want to see Vicky Vickers having very explicit sex (fake moans included), the movie is a total waste of time and money.

Once again Monique Gabrielle looks gorgeous, and does a pretty good acting job too as Angel. She is much better actress than people think, just too bad that she had to work with such a bad directors during her "mainstream" career. Not one of her better movies, but this one is ok, and a must for every Monique Gabrielle fan.
