I always say I want to be brief, and I never am. I'll try again.

I just watched "Fade to Black 2", and it was pretty good.

OK, I can't be that brief. What do you need to know? Well, it's the sequel to a pretty good film, with a reasonable tie-in to the original. Paul Thomas daringly ("Are you being sarcastic, dude?" "I don't even know anymore") plays a porn director who is bored with his work and falls asleep during sex scenes. A sort of MacGuffin device sends him to a small town to make a dirty movie with ordinary residents. The heart of the movie is Thomas trying to bring out the "porno" side in ordinary people.

We get a long stretch where, amusingly, people like Vanessa Lane act shy in front of the camera. Eventually, of course, things get twisted around so you have a pissed-off Austin Kincaid (looking really hot in her nice, everyday, non-slutty clothes) doing a four-way in front of her husband and shooting him nasty looks in the middle of it. The buildup to the scene is good in that pyschosexual way. MLyons should dig it.

It's only fair, of course, since it's her revenge for hubby Van Damage jumping into a three-way with Lexie Marie and Haley Paige just a little too enthusiastically.

The cast is good (I always love Ava Vincent), and the acting is excellent, especially by Vincent, Kincaid and Thomas himself. Vanessa Lane, who was actually pretty convincing as someone who couldn't even bring herself to take off her panties, smoothly transitions into a nice DP a couple of days later.

Bottom line: If you've ever liked a Paul Thomas movie, and I know that's not that that many of you, you'll like this one.

I really wanted to buy this one, then I saw the male cast.

Yeah, I'll give you that it's not a selling point.

PT has been very hit or miss for me. Although the original was well done, I can't say that it was a movie that I really enjoyed. I didn't have much interest in seeing a sequel to it, but this sounds moderately interesting...

I have to agree, the original Fade to Black was well done, but it didn't really do it for me. However, Paul Thomas has always been consistent for me (with a few exceptions like To Die For which put me to sleep). Whenever I see something from him that is less than his best, I go back and watch The Masseuse or Desperate. I'll be checkin out Fade to Black 2 because it sounds different from the original and just to see if it does it for me.

There was a trailer for "Fade to Black 2" on one of Stefani Morgan's early films. I didn't get the full storyline from it, but I got that Haley Paige and Austin Kincaid looked damn good. I understand what you mean about Austin looking good in her non-slutty clothes. Your description of the turn Austin's character takes slightly reminds me of Kylie Ireland in "RAW".

As for "Fade to Black 1", I liked Taylor St. Claire's scene with Voodoo (shocked, huh). Other than that, I wasn't all that blown away by the film. Like others have said, it was certainly well-made, but it didn't do a whole lot for me.
