I would like to start by saying that I don't know a lot about porn. I watch it and enjoy it, but usually I can only tell you the names of the actors or directors by reading the box. Sure, there are a few porn stars that I have come to know by name from their popularity, and I can recognize some of the company names that produce most main stream porn, but that is the extent of my knowledge. So for all the people out there that want to know the particulars of this DVD, I will quote the box.

Title: "Girl's Lie"

Company: Vivid Alt.

Director: Eon McKai

Starring: Charlotte Stokely, Dana DeArmond, Riley Mason, and Pixie Pearl with a
special appearance by Tom Byron.

" Adult screen legend Tom Byron guests in Eon's latest bout of Neo Realistic Smut, which sneaks you to and from authentic locations like L.A.X., the subways, and underground hardcore show, and way out in the oppressive heat of a Lancaster drug den. Inspired by the beauty of reality, chipped nail polish, and stories of deceit...."

I first came across Vivid Alt. while watching a reality show about the making of, or I should say RE- making of, the classic porno "Debbie Does Dallas". I was pretty new to porn then and loved reality shows, so my friend got me watching it. Vivid ended up making two remakes of this movie... one mainstream and one "alternative version" that had more realistic looking stars with tattoos and piercings and rougher, kinkier sex. This is where Vivid Alt. was born. I was intrigued from the very beginning. Although I am sure that there has been porn of this type for some time now, it was new to me. Not just the "alternative" look of the actors, but the sets and music were much better, less "cheesy" in my opinion. I immediately searched the internet for Vivid Alt. and "Girl's Lie" was the first one I found. I have watched more Vivid Alt. since then, but this one is my favorite.

Now... what I can tell you from watching this movie is that I LOVED it! As I watched this movie, the first thing I noticed was that I didn't want to fast forward. I was mesmerized by the raw look of it, and how real it seemed. No fake tits, no weird costumes, no cheesy music... just hot young women with a little edge to them, regular looking guys(at least from my generation), and some pretty kick ass music in the back ground. A few tattoos and piercings, but not so much as to be overwhelming or distracting. I personally think tattoos and piercings are hot, so maybe this would turn some people off. The sex is amazing too. Hardcore and kinky, but not overly so. There is one scene that is a little heavy on the foot fetish, which is not something I have ever been into before, but it actually turned me on.

This movie is all about heterosexual couples, where each and every girl ends up cheating on her guy, so every scene is just one man one woman. There are no girl-girl scenes, threesomes, or orgies. Other than that, this movie has all the typical stuff, various positions, lots of oral, and some anal thrown in there of course. I hope I am not making this movie sound plain and boring, because it really isn't. Like I said, I couldn't stop watching it. Of course, it took my partner and me many sessions to get through it all because we kept getting so turned on. The only way I can really describe it is that it was like watching real couples have some really hot sex. At no point did I get distracted by over the top "acting", horrible fake sounding orgasms, or weird background music.

There are a few points I want to make. The running time on this movie is 116 minutes. There are a total of 8 scenes, two with each "girl". The main menu gives twenty chapter selections, but there are some between scene vignettes and such. There is also an option for positions, where it gives you a montage of all the scenes that include that specific "position", including oral and come shots. If you are looking for typical porn, huge tits, girl on girl action, DP, threesomes, group sex, masturbation, etc., this movie isn't for you. Also, if you are looking for extremely kinky, or any bondage or BDSM, this movie isn't for you either. However, if you just want to watch some hot sex or are looking for something a little different "Girl's Lie" just might be the one for you.

I just wanted to mention a few things here about the packaging. This is a three disc set, in a tri-fold paperboard case that has no plastic parts. I am super anal(no pun intended) about how I take care of my DVDs, so I hated this packaging. The pictures on it are hot, but you have to slip the disks into a small slit in the paperboard and I hate to think how this may damage the disks after repeated use.
The first disk is the feature which I described in the above section. The second disk is full of special features, including a behind the scenes feature that I enjoyed watching. There is also a pretty lengthy bonus scene with my favorite star from the film, Dana DeArmond, trailers for other Vivid Alt. movies, photo galleries, audio commentary, and a mini documentary. The third disk is a cd! Yes, it is the soundtrack, can you believe it? Pretty kick ass music too, especially for a porno. Now, I don't recognize any of the artists, but I actually like the music. For those of you that may listen to this type of music, this soundtrack includes music by Matmos, Panthers, Tommie Sunshine, Wolves in the Throne Room, Child P, XBXRX, Subarachnoid Space, and Anavan.

The last thing I must mention is the only bad experience I had with this movie, other than the flimsy packaging. When I first got my DVD and watched it, one of the scenes started to skip and and eventually froze. It messed up and I couldn't even get my DVD player to skip over it to the next scene or even go to the menu. I had to turn my DVD player off completely to start the movie again. When it got to that scene again, the same thing happened. After checking the disk to make sure there were no scratches or fingerprints messing it up, we took it to the DVD player in our bedroom, only to have the same thing happen at the same point in the scene. Of course I wrote Eden Fatasys about this problem and was sent a new DVD. The bad thing is, the EXACT same thing happened with the new DVD. We had even bought a new DVD player in the meantime and it still didn't work. Odd that the exact same scene, at the exact same moment in the scene, on two different DVDs was screwed up. I'm not just talking a little skipping, but freezing so bad that it throws of the DVD player and you have to turn it off to get it working again. So, I am not sure if Eden Fantasys got a bad batch or if all the "Girl's Lie" DVDS out there have this problem. I'm sure I could have gotten another one, but as I was getting this free for review, I didn't want to bother with it. I love the movie and am grateful that I was able to get it for free to review. However, if I had paid money for it I would have tried harder to get a new DVD from the company itself so I could watch that scene. Had I not had this problem, I would have given this movie five stars.

Of course I still love this movie! I've been watching a lot more porn recently, but I still go back to this one. I just wish I was able to see the scene that is messed up on the DVD. Such a shame!
