"Malice in Lalaland" is an adult film that takes the classic stories of "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass", written by Lewis Carroll, down a dark and twisted road of madness and sexual debauchery. The lead character, "Malice", is played by Sasha Grey, who has been one of my favorite porn stars for years now. Her portrayal of "Malice" is probably the best acting I have seen from her to date, and the sex scenes are hotter than ever. Even if you are not a fan of hers, or you don't particularly care for the classic story, you are bound to be entertained by this movie. It's so different from every thing else that is out there and so well made, that I would recommend this to every one. The entire film is shot on 35 MM. film, and the overall look of the movie is both artistic and visually intriguing. The script and plot are excellent, and kept me interested.


First off, I want to take a few minutes to describe the packaging of this DVD. It looks like a nice hard cover book, with a nice satin finish and a beautiful picture and title on the front. You open the cover of the "book" and the first thing you see is a title page and 20 pages of what resembles a graphic novel of sorts. Beautiful photos of the cast are mixed in with screen shots, story board drawings, and excerpts from the script. I thought this was totally kick ass, as I am a fan of graphic novels and there are actually colored drawings sprinkled in there. At least, I assumed they were drawings. While the "book" does include penciled story board drawings, the colored ones (I found out almost immediately when I put in the DVD) are actually screen shots from the movie. The movie actually has flashes of animation weaved into the movie, switching back and forth. The comic book geek in me actually got half a stock just from that!


Okay, so on to the movie. It starts out with Malice tied up in a straight jacket in an insane asylum. A "rabbit" appears, which is a midget in an AWESOME black rabbit mask. Wait... is midget the right word? I don't want to offend anyone, but when talking about a dark and twisted porno such as this, I think "little person" sounds even more offensive. This is one BAD ASS looking rabbit, not the cute and cuddly animal that you know from the stories and movies. Again, it may be the Horror Movie/Comic Book geek in me, but I LOVE the mask this actor wears. It's dark and twisted and my favorite costume from the film. Anyway, the rabbit helps Malice escape and she ends up wondering the desert, completely naked save a pair of fluffy white bunny slippers. The premise of the movie is basically Malice being on the run from an orderly by the name of Jabbowski on orders from his boss Dr. Queenie, whom I assume is the head of the asylum.


As for the sex scenes, there are five in all. Collectively there is a bit of everything, from one on one MF action, to group scenes and girl on girl. The entire cast is hot and the sex is smoking too. What really sets the sex scenes apart from everything you've seen is the energy of it. It's hard to describe but there are certain psychedelic aspects to it. Combined with the sets and the costumes, the energy of the sex itself matches the dark and twisted theme of the story.

I was expecting a cheesy parody, (which don't get me wrong, I enjoy those very much), but instead I found a movie that was actually quite enthralling to watch. I usually fast forward through porn but I watched every bit of this one. Granted, I had to stop a bunch of times because my partner and I got so turned on, but I found myself wanting to get back to the movie and finish it as soon as possible. If not for limited free time due to a recent shift to working nights, as well as having a toddler in the house, I may have watched this from beginning to end. I still plan to actually if time ever allows and I may end up fast forwarding through the actual sex next time. (Well, maybe not entirely, let's be honest here.) I realize you folks don't know me but this is UNHEARD of for me. Not only am I a typical male who just wants to get to the "action", but I have A.D.D as well. The sex is super hot, but the movie itself is great as well. I understand that I may be a bit biased because I am such a nerd and I like these types of movies. Still, I think this movie covers enough bases to have something for every one's tastes. This may actually be the best adult film I have ever seen.

I still like this movie very much, and have recommended it to friends. I have even let people borrow it, which is a rare thing for me when it comes to my treasured items. I usually am afraid that it will get messed up some how, but I had to share this movie with people. Every one who has watched it has liked it, though my friends are as weird as I am. Some may be put off by some of the "weirdness", but I think most will love it. It is a bit pricey for porn, but to me it is worth it.
