Nothing against Club Jenna but can I slap D. Cypher? Please? I just do not share his/her vision, and find his/her vision ruins a perfectly good porno. Watching the credits I found Jim Enright listed as producer and I just can not believe he let some of this after filming production crap happen.

Brea's Mirror Image

We have an interesting storyline of a con-artist couple who have come up with a plan to con a grieving widower out of a few million dollars.  In the end the plan backfires and they are the ones who get taken.  Who would have guessed that the widow was also a con-man?

Barrett Blade opens the movie delivering a heartfelt soliloquy to his wife, played by Brea Bennett, who is asleep next to him.  He is telling him how he loves her and how he has tried to be a good husband and how he hopes she can forgive him for his misdeeds.  As he attempts to place a pillow over her face to suffocate her she awakens wanting him one last time.  Barrett doesn’t have to think this through, kill her or have sex with her.  Sex wins.  With the name of the movie being Brea’s Mirror Image there is some interesting things done here where we get some interesting stuff done with reflections in the closet mirrors.  Isn’t that just artsy?

Now for something that is going to annoy me throughout this entire movie, the scene change happens with some retro fractal graphic that fades in then out reminding me of the classic Batman series.  Maybe that would look really cool if I was stoned watching porn, but I am not so the point of it all is really lost on me.

Now we find Brea again, with slightly different hair, sitting across the table with Derrick Pierce.  She is reading about a widower worth millions who is mourning his dead wife.  She has a plan to con him out of some of his money.  Derrick wants to know what makes her think that this guy is going to fall for her.  Well, she looks just like his dead wife.  Derricks next question is, are they going to do that related thing again?  It really creeps him out when they do.  Yep.

Now for scene one that makes no sense in this movie…Derrick and Brea are supposed to be a couple so he is banging Penny Flame.  Yep, makes total sense.  Once again, we get shots of them in the mirror on the wall and for once there is a full shot of the dragon tattoo on Derrick.  Yep, it’s a dragon.  I got to talk to him about his tattoo in detail once and asked him if it was an iguana.  I have gotten no end of crap over that.  It was an honest mistake because of the angles I have always caught it at.  It is most defiantly a kick-ass dragon.

Downstairs on the couch Brea is having her way with Lela Star.  Why isn’t the happy couple fucking each other?  Where did Lela and Penny come from?  What do they have to do with this story?  Even more annoying is the sparkly star effects we get off the shoes of the girls shoes, their earrings, Brea’s hair.  Once again, these effects are probably really cool if you are drunk or on drugs.  For the rest of us it’s a huge WTF?

Now that everyone is done fucking everyone they aren’t dating, we find Barrett visiting the grave of his dead wife.  Brea and Derrick run into him and Barrett is sure he has seen a ghost in Brea.  Derrick is playing the mentally challenged brother now and is eating grass providing a laugh.  Brea invites Barrett for a cup of coffee.

Three months later Barrett and Brea are getting married.  We get to see the wedding and a conversation on their wedding night where she explains that she is worried about her brother because she is dying of brain cancer and there is no one to take care of him.  Barrett assures her all will be taken care of.  Scene two that makes no sense…this is fucking porn and this is a wedding night.  Where the fuck is the sex??  It’s implied yet it’s skipped over much like a soap opera and we go right to breakfast.  What the fuck?  So, Brea and Derrick are a couple and we never see them fuck.  Now she is married to Barrett and we never see them fuck – well, we do in the first scene but now she is playing someone different so shouldn’t we see it again?  Besides, it’s a wedding night scene; shouldn’t we get that sex anyway?  Who cares if it’s the same two people, it happens in other movies sometimes.  We don’t hold it against those movies if they are decent movies.

Now we have Brea getting paperwork or something in a brown envelope from Eric Masterson.  This footage is done montage style spliced together with footage of the two of them having sex.  What in the hell is this all about?  This makes no sense from any standpoint.  Who wants to watch a montage scene?

Barrett is talking to his lawyer.  No idea about what.  It’s all very vague and I am having a hard time believing Christian XXX is a lawyer.  Whatever.  It’s not like anything about this movie has made sense to this point in my book.  Barrett leaves and Christian’s girlfriend or secretary (or both), Lindsay Meadows, comes in and he tells her to take a week off because they are going to go somewhere warm.  Cue the sex between them in some weird-ass psychedelic letterbox crap.  There are no mirrors in the room so D. Cypher felt compelled to make one out of the letterbox during the editing process.

Barrett returns home to find a stressed out Derrick and a suicide note from Brea.  The story is she couldn’t bear to put Barrett through the pain of watching her suffer and killed herself.  Derrick is set up with a three million dollar trust fund.

Days later Brea meets up with Derrick in a black wig and explains where she has been, Derrick explains about the money.  They have a surprise, Barrett is in the backseat.  Turns out he did a background check on Brea before marrying her and knew what she was up to.  Turns out he also killed his first wife for her money.  Guess how the movie ends…

The plot showed potential.  The sex had great potential.  Someone had to go and fuck up (no pun intended) a perfectly good porno with some screwy drug induced artsy editing.  To think that I have two more D. Cypher movies sitting here to watch…
