Realities 2

Winner of industry awards = crap as usual best describes this ego-tripping Ashlyn Gere video, reminiscent of those "Deep Inside..." showcase movies. Yes, she's in every scene, indulging herself with erotic fantasies.

Talking to the camera to introduce each vignette, Ashlyn is reading her fan mail and gushing to pretend how much she loves 'em. Holy Insincerity Batman!

So she pretends to dig a gang-bang, anal-sex and double-penetration. You have to be a diehard Gere fan to swallow it, but I'm one who didn't appreciate the phoniness of it all. Way too much Gere grandstanding to impress me.

Typical of the nonsense, movie opens with Terri DIver putting a VHS tape of Gere's first "Realities" video on her TV to watch with partner Steve Hatcher, then writing Gere a fan letter, and Gere supposedly shows up to surprise Steve on his birthday, a fantasy fulfilled. Hatcher gets credited under that name as well as Jake WIlliams, his alternate monicker, in both opening and ending credits.

Realities 2, helmed by director Layne Parker, is a 1992 adult film that delivers on its promise of steamy and explicit scenes, but falls short in terms of narrative cohesion and creativity.

Realities 2 wastes no time in diving into the action, and viewers are immediately treated to a visually stunning and energetic encounter involving adult industry veterans Ashlyn Gere, Kris Newz, Steve Hatcher, Tim Lake, and Todd Alexander. This sunny outdoor foursome, set by the pool, is a feast for the senses and effectively sets the tone for the remainder of the film. Gere, a legendary performer, is the undeniable star of this scene, effortlessly commanding the screen and exuding raw sensuality as she enjoys the attention of four well-endowed suitors.

However, as the film progresses, it becomes apparent that the strength of Realities 2 lies primarily in its ability to orchestrate visually stimulating encounters, rather than innovative storytelling. The plot, though present, feels like an afterthought, serving merely as a vehicle to move between explicit scenes. This is a shame, as a more developed narrative could have elevated the film, providing a stronger framework to showcase the talented cast.

That being said, there are some standout moments that showcase the film's potential. A memorable scene involving Gere, Marc Wallice, and TT Boy is a highlight, with Gere showcasing her versatility and skill. The intensity and raw chemistry between the performers are palpable, and this scene, in particular, will linger in viewers' minds long after the credits roll. Gere, ever the professional, delivers a tour de force performance, expertly navigating a delicate balance between raw passion and technical prowess, ensuring this scene is an unforgettable part of the film.

Ashlyn Gere, with her signature red lips and sultry gaze, commands the screen, her body a canvas of desire as she writhes between Wallice and Boy. The scene is a tempest of flesh, a blur of limbs and moans, with Gere at its eye, her pleasure a force of nature, wild and untamed as she surrenders to the dual invasion.

Unfortunately, despite these memorable moments, Realities 2 fails to maintain a consistent level of excellence throughout. The film's pacing stutters at times, with some scenes feeling rushed, while others drag on, diluting the overall impact. Additionally, the audio quality is occasionally inconsistent, with some scenes suffering from muffled or distorted sound, which can be jarring and detract from the overall experience.

In conclusion, Realities 2 is a film that, while offering some exceptionally crafted and memorable scenes, ultimately falls short of its potential due to a weak narrative and technical shortcomings. It is a film that will satisfy those seeking explicit and unapologetic adult entertainment, but may leave those craving a more substantive and polished experience feeling somewhat unfulfilled.
