The main exception is Eye of the Beholder. I think it's by far the best overall movie she's been in, but it might not be perfect for you. Her first b/g scene, with Armstrong, is nice but kind of couples-ish. The BJ scene she shares with Charmane Star is the highlight of the movie for me, and for "psycho-sexual" stuff, there are some unique elements to it that I found very well done. The final b/g scene with Evan Stone is kind of dark and moody too. Some of the other scenes (notably Lauren Phoenix's and the orgy) are conspicuously not integral to the plot. But overall it's a good movie.

One Night in Vegas: It's pretty light. Not a bad flick, a good start for Stormy as a director. Two b/g scenes for Kaylani, both good, but somewhat unmemorable for me. The first with Nick Manning is her "relationship" scene, and the second with Evan Stone is the "cheating" scene, so there's that.

Mood Ring: Only one Kaylani scene. Not bad, and actually is a borderline grudge fuck scenario, but I don't know that you'll get a lot out of the rest of the movie. Very couple-ish, light-streaming-through-the-windows stuff.

Blue Rain: Only one b/g scene, with Mr. Marcus, and I remember it as a good one, but you can just see it as a bonus on the One Night in Vegas disc if you get that.

Sweatshop: Kaylani's fake broken English was kind of silly and bugged me. Her first scene with Randy Spears is more-or-less coercive -- he's the boss, taking advantage of her. Her second, with Steven St. Croix, is the true-love denouement. It didn't do much for me.

As far as her other starring vehicles: I didn't like Angel X and haven't seen Couples yet, but that doesn't sound promising for your purposes.

Just my two cents, as a picky viewer of most of Wicked's stuff.

Thanks so much for the thorough rundown. All I can do now is give some of 'em a whirl I s'pose. :) Thanks again.

Oh, and I think Kaylani also did a few movies for Sin City. You should check Adult DVD Empire.

I shall check out Kaylani's older work.

Thanks to everyone who's given imput on this thread. A sequel to Angel X is not formally on the boards yet, but should it be added in the future, I'll certainly let everyone here know!

It's hard to go wrong when putting together a Kaylani DVD collection, but I'd suggest Eye Of The Beholder, Blue Rain, and Sweatshop. Most agree that Eye Of The Beholder stands alone as the best work she's done to date.

Thank you,

But then if I was given a choice between real flesh-and-blood Asia or a cartoon one, I know which one I would choose.

Thanks for the info, Daniel. I shall be definitely be buying some of Kaylani's older works, but please bring us some new titles starring her soon. If you can, team her with Michael Raven once more; he really knows how to shoot the stars so we see them in the best light.

The only criticism I can make of Angel-X is that Kaylani and Asia never ground pussies together. If you can add a similar scene in a forthcoming project I would be forever grateful.

Keep up the good work.

I liked it. :) It was a nice change of pace, and indeed Kaylani is really quite stunning. Her scene with Evan Stone was particularly eye-catching. It's not the crazy-ass, all-sex mayhem I'm used to watching with the more gonzo oriented fair, but it still worked nicely for me.

Beyond that, I thought Pason had a particularly good scene in this movie with Lee Stone. The bathroom, anal nastiness totally worked for me, and Pason looked great.

And of course I'm always a sucker for Alexis Malone. :)

Anyway, thanks all for the recommendations and reviews. I've got Eye of the Beholder and Space Nuts in my sights as well.

Thanks again. :)
