Is there any more welcome comeback to the porn industry this year than the lovely Cassidey? She was on her way to becoming one of the biggest adult stars of all time when she left Vivid over five years ago. Now she’s back – a little older, a little wiser, but still a sizzling presence on the screen.

In fact, the only downside to Paul Thomas’ Heavy Breathing is that we don’t get to see Cassidey take any cock in the movie. I’m not sure if she’s exclusively girl/girl now, but even if she is – watching Cassidey do another chick with a strap-on is about 10 times more appealing than watching most other porn chicks doing straight sex.

The movie here revolves around a police officer (played by Derrick Pierce) who has been assigned to a case where he needs to investigate people who dial up phone sex lines. The secret Derrick is hiding from his superior officer (Tiffany Taylor) is that he himself is hooked on similar sex lines – specifically one hosted by Cassidey, who opens the movie with a dildo masturbation scene while Derrick listens on the other end of the phone.

It is important to note that this movie appears to have been shot with hi-def equipment and has been anamorphically enhanced for your viewing enjoyment. This is notable not only because Vivid has just started to offer anamoprhic DVDs with some of their releases, but because this may the first time a Paul Thomas (who usually prefers film to video) movie has been presented anamorphically.

I was hoping Vivid might include more Cassidey scenes as part of the Vivid Bonus Clips they include on each of their release, but instead they’ve chosen to give us more recent scenes with the likes of Sunrise Adams, Tawny Roberts, Dasha, Mercedez and Savanna Samson. There is a 17-minute Behind The Scenes segment where Cassidey talks about, among other things, why she got back into porn and where she’s been. Four trailers for other Vivid releases are also included as part of the bonus material.
