FROM THE EDITOR
AGAINST ALL ODDS
Believe it or not, reviewing and writing about contemporary adult video is not
always a bed of roses. The only thing that any stalwart fuck flick critic who
reviews sexvids on a weekly basis is likely to notice is that many of today's
carnal cassettes are plagued by a certain sameness. More than one critic has asserted
that this is because the shot-on-video medium itself is "the great equalizer,"
and that its inherent limitations often make it difficult to differentiate the
work of a master from that of a Betacam-wielding hack. It's therefore something
of an unexpected carnal treat when a project comes down the pornpike that manages
against all odds to rise above these limitations. The Secret Garden, Part 1 is
such a film. The first installment Of a two-part 35mm sextravaganza, this unique
movie features beautiful sets, surreal and intriguing story, and generous dollops
of heated fuck-and-suck action the likes of which haven't been seen on the blue
screen in some time. Quite simply, this is the best piece of porn I've seen this
year.
Angela Minuit reviews Part 1 this issue in our Super Review section. And I dedicate
this issue of EROTIC X-FILM GUIDE to the cast and crew of The Secret Garden and
everyone else in porn who has the talent and conviction to beat the odds!
