I remember back when I was a wee lad sneaking into my parents' bedroom, tiptoeing to the very old oak chest, shifting through a couple of dozen balled up socks and coming up with what are now ancient video cassette tapes. What lies on those films of tape you may ask? I'll tell you. As I let the VHS player grab the tape and pull it in, hairy bush crotches and sleazy jam music made up the first porno experience of my life. I will admit that I never knew porn existed pre-1990. When you're that young, you don't know such things and those who are responsible for you, (i.e. parents) fear telling you the facts of birds and bees because of their own inexplicable self consciousness. Here I am now many years later with a sleazy stash of my own and I still have this amazement with retro porn even if some of it is only from the recent 80s. Sexy Battle Girls, though not porn per say, branches out into 80's Manga erotica in a decade of which Ron Jeremy and Ginger Lynn made so infamous.

Senility is associated with elder age and usually consists of the loss of memory recollection and it impairs the current state of the current memory. The symptoms are different with each person, of course. Each person also copes with it differently, but those who can effectively cope manage a long life of happiness....most of the time. Sometimes they are stuck in an inescapable cycle that becomes their cage from the rest of the world. With their mental impairment, they tend to drive their family and friends away, leaving them to their solitude so they can slowly whither away. Director Daisuke Goto's A Lonely Cow Weeps at Dawn considers the opposite in which the hardworking elder, even with his unusual case of senility, manages to capture the heart of a young and beautiful woman.

Detective mysteries sizzle with anticipation and excitement due to their suspenseful nature. You hardly see any other genre elements present than those I've just described. Granted, there are shows like Monk and Psyche that have comical qualities about them yet they still pertain a darker and more serious side to them with a wholehearted message. What if we take out that message, over load it with Benny Hill style humor and made the entire film a sexual experience? You would have stumbled upon a delightful raunchy erotic comedy by a 2008 Academy Award Winning director Yojiro Takita! Well, a Japanese Academy Award which is still very prestigious even for a director who started off at the helm of a series of Japanese Pink films like Molester Train, also called Groper Train.

I would consider myself a nymphomaniac. I love sex, who in their right mind doesn't? So, when I heard of a movie called The Japanese Wife Next Door and the lead female character is a sex-crazed nymphomaniac who seduces her husband's entire family, I couldn't resist not checking it out! There were some expectations that I was expecting beyond the buckoos of sex I was about to visually endure; being a movie buff, I need a good plot, whether it is porn or an underground indie project. Porn enthusiasts will probably shoot back and say, "why do you need a plot in porn? you're a sick fuck!" Indeed, I am a sick fuck - I can't sit around for 3 hours watching other people...well...fuck. While The Japanese Wife Next Door did produce an "erectifying" result, there was just a sense of childlike objectivity and personality that made this raunchy comedy more creepy than it did sensually funny.

I'm extremely thrilled. Do you wanna know why? It is because I am very proud to review the first Pink Eiga title here at SheSoCrazy and we start off with one of their more recent releases Blind Love. This erotic comedy follows Daisuke who hasn't quite mastered his profession of being a great ventriloquist. On top of that, his wife is divorcing him, making him pay for casual sex, his ventriloquist act is obsolete, he's shorter than most women and his post-marriage love life is as limp as his....dummy. Enter Hikari, an attractive young woman who is most likely Daisuke's only fan which would seem perfect for the slump that Daisuke is in except that Hikari is blind. Yoichi, Daisuke's taller apprentice, steps in, pursues Hikari and pretends to be Daisuke while Daisuke tags along to be the voice of himself as Yoichi becomes the body. Jealousy reveals it's ugly head as Yoichi, pretending to be Daisuke's body while Daisuke himself is in the room, scores with Hikari. Now their friendship hangs in the balance along with the lie that holds over the triangle of lovers.

Our good friend and sometimes contributer, Steven, is going to be reviewing some films from PinkEiga.com for our Erotica section, so I figured I would show you what they had to offer.
