Devinn Lane, Alexa Rae and Temptress all run a bookstore that is threatened to be closed down if they can't pay the rent in
Spellbound, a great new DVD from director Brad Armstrong and Wicked Pictures, which should have been released earlier to cash in on the Halloween market, but is still a welcome addition to the growing Wicked catalog on DVD. Loaded with bonus features and the quality we've come to expect from Wicked,
Spellbound is one of the best Wicked releases to date, and one of the top DVD releases of the year.
Our story begins as an old man (played by Ron Vogel) brings in some even older books to Sylvia (Devinn Lane) at her bookstore. He wants to sell the books, but Sylvia doesn't think she can afford to buy them, since the bookstore is in serious financial trouble. However, Sylvia's friend and co-worker, Diane (Temptress) leafs through the books and notices they are about magic. She talks Devinn into giving the guy a few bucks to acquire them. Devinn heads home to the girls' apartment, but Temptress stays behind to leave through the spellbooks.
Back at the apartment, we are introduced to Julie (Alexa Rae), who is also a friend and co-worker with Devinn and lives there with her and Temptress. This particular night, however, she has brought along her boyfriend, played by Devin Wolf. So while Devinn is trying to get some sleep, Devin (hard to keep track, huh?!) is wide awake and making the moves on Alexa. Spellbound is only the second or third time I have seen Alexa in a porno, and while she never made an impression on me in previous work, she certainly seems to hit her stride in this film. She's a rare combination of being both cute and sexy, and I suggest keeping your eye on this girl (who is now exclusively with Wicked)...I think she just might be a superstar waiting to happen.
There's no question that Temptress is on the verge of superstardom, and she only increases her chances with her hot sequences in this movie. First up for her is a scene in the bookstore with Chris Cannon. Although this is a relatively short sex scene, it ends with a nice facial, which Temptress seems to eagerly accept on her lips (unlike so many stars who wince, turn their heads or close their eyes when being unloaded on by a guy).
The boxcover for Spellbound boasts a sexy shot of all three stars together, so one immediately wonders if these girls are all going to be in a scene, or if it is just deceptive advertising. That question is happily answered at the midway point of this great feature. After testing their new powers, the girls find out that their bodies are tingling with energy (quite literally, as you'll see when watching the scene!). So what better time than to start some three-way lesbian action? Temptress is the main focus here, as the two other girls make sure that she is pleased in every way, including a little help from a handy corkscrew-shaped dildo.
Once the girls have realized that they have the ability to cast spells, they use this newfound talent to have a little fun with the neighbors. First up, Temptress decides to make herself sexier (as if that were humanly possible) so she can seduce neighbor Randy Spears. Randy is one of the few guys in the industry that this heterosexual male will watch movies of, strictly because he is in them, mainly due to the fact that he is one of the best actors in the business and he also seems to have a great sense of humor about himself. All that being said, this was the first time I wish Randy wasn't in the scene, because I actually became jealous of the things he was allowed to do to cute, little Temptress. Randy's been with a lot of hot stars over the years, but even I could tell that he was really turned on by getting the chance to perform with this young doll.
For those of you with a taste for lesbo lovin', you will no doubt get your fix in a hot segment between Devinn Lane and Jessica Drake. Devinn actually sets out to cast a spell on Randy to get him to lust after her, but Jessica accidentally gets in the way of the spell and the effect transpires her into one hot little fireball! The beginning of the scene is the typical (although very hot) lesbian tryst, but it soon goes into overdrive as Devinn dons both a dominatrix outfit and a strap-on, and makes Jessica her love slave.
The movie wraps up with a coupling between Hershel Savage (another actor who I greatly admire) and Alexa. There's some very nice action in this closing scene also, which concludes with a cumshot all over her breasts. The movie wraps its story up, the bookstore is (naturally) saved for posterity, but there seems to be more than a hint of a possible sequel (boy, I hope so!) on the horizon!
This DVD is exceptional across the board. Not only is the movie quite entertaining and well-directed, but the bonus features contain enough entertainment to please fans for a few more additional hours. There is a great behind the scenes making-of segment that runs over thirty minutes and is both very entertaining and very informative. There are separate interviews with the three female leads, plus bonus scenes with each of the actresses taken from other movies that they have appeared in. There is also a director's commentary with Armstrong, biographies of the cast, plus (if you know where to look) a hidden "Easter Egg" segment, which is an additional interview with Alexa Rae where she talks about her bee allergy, among other things!
There are not a lot of titles in the adult realm that qualify as "must haves", basically because there are not many films that are released that many guys (or gals!) would want to watch more than one or two times.
Spellbound shatters that rule by providing enough fun, entertainment and hardcore action for two or three adult features. It's definitely a keeper, and a movie that may be remembered for establishing both Alexa Rae and Temptress as modern-day porn queens. What can I say? These women really put a spell on me!

Devinn Lane runs a bookstore and is having trouble paying the rent. Herschel Savage, the landlord, wants the money but is willing "to make other arrangements" to let Devinn keep the store. One day, an old man brings in some old books that Temptress thinks they should buy. One of the books happens to be a book of magic. With a little practice, Alexa, Devinn and Temptress become witches and start to use their magic to get what they want.
This scene starts by Devin going down on Alexa, and she happily returning the favor by giving a nice, wet blowjob. Then, Devin starts to fuck Alexa from behind. He eventually flips her over and drills her in missionary for awhile. Devin finishes the scene with a big cumshot right on Alexa's chin. This is a good scene. Alexa and Devinn have great chemistry and the scene has a nice pace.
This scene starts in the bookstore, with Temptress and Chris kissing each other all over. Then, Temptress starts to give him a blowjob. Chris gets her from behind in doggy for awhile. Temptress then lays on top of a book cart and Chris pounds her in missionary. They finish with a nice facial. This scene was okay. Temptress and Chris had good chemistry. The area they were working in was small and too cramped, though.
Scene three starts with Alexa and Devinn double-teaming Temptress. Alexa uses a clear, acrylic dildo in Temptress' pussy while Devinn sits on her face. Then, Temptress starts to eat out Alexa while Devinn rides a gold vibrator that Alexa is holding. The scene finishes with Alexa getting worked over by both girls with the gold vibrator in her tight pussy. This was a good scene, and all three girls worked great together. The only bad thing was that it was too short a scene.
In scene four, Temptress heads over to Randy's apartment and they start off with a lot of kissing on the couch. Then, Randy starts to suck on her tits. Soon, Temptress gives him a wet and sloppy blowjob. Temptress then starts to ride his cock in reverse cowgirl for awhile. Randy then lays her on the couch and does her in missionary. Then, Temptress gets folded up and Randy gives her a piledriver. Randy finishes her off by cumming on her tits. This was one of the best scenes of the movie. It was very hot. Temptress and Randy had a lot of heat between them.
In scene five, Jessica starts things off by sucking on Devinn's big tits. She soon heads down south to finger and eat out Devinn's wet pussy. Then, Devinn decides it's time for a change, and gets into a dominatrix outfit and goes down on Jessica. Next, Devinn pulls out the strap-on and starts pounding Jessica from behind. The scene finishes with both girls pussy-to-pussy sharing a double-headed dildo. Both girls are gorgeous and they really get one another off.
Scene six starts with Herschel and Alexa doing some kissing on a couch. Herschel sucks her tits for awhile and eventually starts to finger her pussy. Alexa then shows off her oral skills and gives him a killer blowjob. Then, they start to fuck in missionary for awhile. Alexa then starts to ride his cock reverse cowgirl. Then, Herschel cums all over her tits. This is a good scene for Alexa and Herschel.
This was a great movie. It had good acting and a great story, plus three of my favorite actresses. If you like couples porn, or you're a fan of any of these ladies, I highly recommend this movie. It also had some nice behind the scenes extras.

One of the things I like about director Brad Armstrong is that he always makes sure that the girls look good.
Spellbound is no exception.
The plot can be described as "cutesy", nothing groundbreaking or ambitious. There are some special effects that accompany some of the spells the girls use - sure to be considered lame by the hardcore crowd - but I found myself chuckling at the gimmick involving the vacuum. The sex is rather tame even by Wicked's standards; Alexa and Temptress both take a facial but there's no anal sex if that's important for you. I enjoyed most of the scenes regardless.
The extras, like those that accompany most Wicked features, are excellent. The behind the scenes segment is both funny and revealing. The commentary isn't as good as others I've heard from Wicked, which I attribute to the fact that there's a lot of dead air. Adding one or more of the performers on the commentary probably would have made it a more enjoyable listen, but I'm sure Wicked is aware of this as they've done it with other features.
Like I said, the plot and the fact that the women are in control of all the sexual situations lends itself to some femine appeal (read: couples market). Nevertheless, the sex is good enough that I can recommend
Spellbound to fans of the girls it features.
