Anissa: Pornochic 25

It happened with Christy Canyon: I was an instant fan in 1984 but wondered why, at the time, she was so much overshadowed by other starlets like Traci Lords and Ginger Lynn. Decades later she is acknowledged as virtually the best performer of her day.

I expect the same to happen to Anissa Kate -who hit me like a ton of bricks but went from newcomer to taken for granted status in record time. Nica Noelle let her act in a couple of dramatic roles but otherwise she has been relegated to an endless string of gonzo junk.

Her spotlight entry in the ongoing "Pornochic" videos from Marc Dorcel falls somewhere in between these extremes. With hack Herve Bodilis at the helm this French series is somewhat misleading in that the title femme gets decent exposure but is flanked by a deep phalanx of other femme talent. Anissa acquits herself sexily in threesomes and the like, natch, but the overall video is mere filler.

It's too bad, but Bodilis can't be bothered with pesky story-line as he mixes and matches his well-known cast, and makes sure to meet the checklist of required content: a d.p. here, group sex there, and always big dicks in condoms and Continental beauties in high heels and the most glamorous of undergarments.

Beyond Kate, Angell Summers (who also crossed the pond to make a name for herself in U.S. productions) and superstar Liza Del Sierra are diverting presences. But lack of inspiration or novelty relegates this effort to ho-hum status.
