This is a tender young tale about a young
girl called Misty (played by, you guessed it, Misty Mundae)
who goes on vacation to visit her aunt Inga (Julian Welles).
At night, she spies on her masturbating aunt and lustful urges
awake in her. Over the week Misty spends with her aunt she
gets herself into various sexual scenarios, almost one each
day – a pretty awesome ratio.
I feel compelled to go into the plot a little more, but I
don’t know what is considered spoilerish. Fuck it, it
isn’t like anyone is going to watch this anyway.
Misty
watches her aunt masturbate. They go shopping. Misty meets
the neighbor boy who reminds me completely of Vinnie from Doogie Howser, M.D. She blows him and he
bounces. She gets sad and so her aunt teaches her how to masturbate
(naturally by helping). She goes out with the neighbor boy
again and goes all the way. Then she watches her aunt with
her girlfriend and gets aroused. Finally, she fucks her aunt,
who in a SHOCKING revelation, isn’t really her aunt
but instead just a good friend of Misty’s mother. How
convenient. “Aunt Inga, teach me how to fuck!”
Good thing they found a clever way to get out of all that
incest nonsense.
Alright,
let’s get this right out of the way. Pornography fascinates
me as a medium much more than as a product. I don’t
watch the Spice Channel, I don’t own any hardcore pornography
(although I am not against it), and I certainly don’t
have favorite porn stars. I realize that people do, and I
am glad that we have that right and opportunity, but porn
for the most part it isn’t part of my lifestyle. I am
the type that actually does read the articles in
Playboy. The movies that are part of my lifestyle are exploitation
films where women run wearing as little as possible, often
being chased by a killer. There may
or may not be an animal skin bikini involved. So I dunno,
maybe I’m off a few yards, too. What I can say is that The Seduction Of Misty Mundae should have
been called Misty Mundane. It’s boring as hell,
and so is every other movie or TV show made with the actor’s
name in the titles (see also, Linda Lovelace For President, Breaking Bonaduce, or Tom Cruise
Gets Mad Cow Disease And Dies). The scenes with the
male couldn’t possibly be less erotic; it has an awful
appearance of being staged. In fact, if it wasn’t for
the pretty scenery (it was shot very well) and the overall
finale, which is pretty steamy lesbian scene between the two
leads, this movie would have nothing.
Now, as anyone who has read my reviews knows, I like shitty
movies and lesbians. But while this is a shitty movie with
lesbianism, it is shitty for all the wrong reasons.
Presentation
The Seduction Of Misty
Mundae is presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen.
It looks pretty. I really liked the autumn feel to the film
and the colors on the leaves really stood out. From what I
could tell, all tits looked lifelike and healthy. The sound
was rather blah. I assume it is 2.0, but it could just as
easily been mono. The score really isn’t anything to
write home about, but well… they thought it was good
enough to include a CD.
Extras
Commentary by director Michael
Raso and editor Tony Marsiglia. Jesus Christ, could you
be more self-congratulatory? Congratulations on finishing
a movie, but don’t expect me to be thrilled by every
single unoriginal nuance you think it has. This commentary
is a complete waste of time. Interesting note: I am probably
the only person who listened to this commentary… ever!
Interview
with director Michael Raso (6:08) - Apparently, even
though Misty’s name is in the title, it is not really
about Misty. Michael Raso also misnames the film several times,
referring to it as “The Temptation Of Misty Mundae.”
Awesome level of professionalism. Almost as much of a waste
as the film.
Behind-the-scenes
featurette(3:10) - I learned nothing from this at all,
except that I now think Julian is into the nose candy. Just
check out the coke-nose on Julian Welles. Awesome. Julian
rules, I want to party with her.
Julian
Welles photo shoot(4:11) - Okay, this is pretty hot,
I’ll admit it. Then again, I think that Julian is a
beautiful woman. Nice to have this Misty-free extra on the
set.
A Taste
of Retro: Naughty Vintage Peep Show(10:10) - The
Smoking Voyeur: Apparently this is a little 8mm looking
strip tease from 1965. This is where your porn began. Respect
it. It is actually pretty interesting to watch from a historical
perspective. A neat extra.
Trailers
for upcoming Seduction Cinema releases - Included in
effort to gain more money are the trailers for several other
Misty Mundae flicks. These include: Erotic Diary Of
Misty Mundae, Lust For Dracula, Roxanna, Chantal, Sinful and this movie. Wow.
Compact
disc: The Seduction of Misty Mundae Soundtrack by The Pink Delicates. The Pink Delicates? Riiiiiiiiiight.
I think I will wait until the Kidz Bop group covers this.
And
Now Some Parting Words
I get it. You want to be arty;
you want to show the private and implausible story of a girl
examining her own sexuality with the rest of New England free
to help out. You want to be just like dozens of other films.
Well, you succeeded, but you aren’t going to win any
awards for it.
This movie
blows.
