Reviewed by astroknight  on  12/3/2002

Running Time: 99 min.

Production Date: 06 / 05 / 2002

Director: Nicholas Steele

Cast: Alexa Rae, Carmen Luvana, Ann Marie, Lola, Ian Daniels, Julian, Lee Stone, Dale DaBone, Tommi Rose, Flick, and Pier

Initial Expectations: I’m really not sure what to expect here. Alexa can do a good job when her ego doesn’t go out of control, and Nicholas Steele has also been kind of hit or miss for me.

Initial Reaction: It’s pretty good, and Carmen Luvana steals the show!

Who Should Watch It : Couples who don’t want much of a plot but do want some slightly artistic sex

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants a lot of plot or nastier sex

Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced without any sign of background noises. The video is nicely presented in anamorphic widescreen. To me, this is a great plus for a movie, and Nicholas Steele seems to be learning how to use the format more with every new feature he releases in it. There are a few soft focus problems, as well as some low lighting, but the feature is normally clear right out to the edge of the screen.

Music: Saint provides the music, as he often does for Nicholas Steele’s movies, and as usual, I can’t help but really like it. It’s occasionally a little loud, but normally seems about right.

Disc Problems: The feature is split between two titles (with the break occuring at about 80 min.). As usual, once the split occurs, you can’t go back to anything before it without going through the main menu. This was a common problem with early DVDs, and one I thought Adam & Eve had moved past. I’m not sure if it’s due to the anamorphic format, but it is annoying and makes the DVD look a little cheap.

Menus: The menus are pretty standard, but do have a nice look to them. The main menu has a little bit of animation and the chapter menu lets you choose a scene based on a small clip of the scene.

The Feature: As a wedding gift from an eccentric aunt, Alexa Rae and Julian receive a house with glass rooms. On each wall is writing in different scripts, and it all seems to tell a story. The story draws Alexa in as she reads it, and seems to be telling her something about her husband and lover.

Lola and Flick Shagwell start out in leather masks and outfits guarding a caged and similarly clad Pier. Warlord Lee Stone tries to take the prisoner from them, but the girls seem to have something else in mind. They drop down to suck both the Warlord and prisoner off, with Lola taking on Pier and Flick getting Lee, and none of them removing any of their outfits. The guys go straight to fucking the girls from behind rather than making sure they’re ready to go, and surprisingly only change things around to get in a little cowgirl action. Just as surprising is that the girls stay with the same person throughout the entire scene. The guys mask eventually come off, but the girls’ never do. Maybe they thought it’d be safer to keep them on to protect them from the facials they get to finish things up. Regardless, it helps give the scene a very unique feel that I really liked. It’s not the hottest scene around, since it does feel a little limited, but the unique and artistic feel of the scene made it a winner for me.

Julian is greeted by the ghost of a former lost lover, namely the extremely cute Carmen Luvana. Carmen drops to her knees to make sure Julian’s doing all right, and eats his ass as well as sucking his cock and balls. She puts some great effort into working him over, and finishes him off without ever asking for anything in return. It’s a hot oral scene that’s every bit as engaging as most full scenes.

Ian Daniels, possessed with rage and jealousy, is taken back to a bleeding heart by innocent Tommi Rose. They give each other a slow oral warmup before Tommi climbs up and slides herself onto Ian’s shaft. She puts some good energy into riding him, and keeps it up as Ian fucks her from behind and as she lays on her back until Ian nicely stuccos her nicely natural chest. It’s another good scene, and has a nice feel to it after a fairly dark beginning.

Ann Marie shows up for the next scene, where she hooks up with Pharaoh Dale DaBone. After a little kissing and groping, Dale kisses his way down to Ann Marie’s legs and the treasures which lie therein. She returns the favor with some nice head before laying back for Dale to bury the bone. They keep interesting with Dale picking Ann Marie up to fuck her as she tries riding him cowgirl style, before fucking her from behind and finally popping on her back. It’s a hot scene that has some very nice chemistry. Ann Marie looks to really be into Dale, and she really turns this into a fun scene.

Carmen Luvana returns, this time to tempt Alexa Rae, who looks as good now as before she seemed to think she was too good for porn. Carmen helps Alexa out of those pesky things most of us refer to as “clothes” while working her way across Alexa’s body. Alexa thanks her by dropping down to play with Carmen’s pussy before hoping up and pulling Carmen’s face into her pussy for repayment. Carmen quickly takes charge, spanking and devouring Alexa’s ass and pussy, but lets Alexa take her off in the pile driver position afterwards. They nicely move back and forth throughout the scene, and finish things up kissing passionately. It’s an extremely hot scene with great chemistry and energy that shows just why toys aren’t always needed in an all girl scene.

Finally, Alexa and Julian get their groove on. They start things out with some nice kissing and Julian going down on Alexa before she shows that her big mouth can do something other than run off. Julian starts out fucking her as she lays back on the couch, and then moves on to fuck her from behind. They keep the energy, among other things, flowing through cowgirl before Alexa happily takes Julian’s joy juice on her face. It’s a good scene with nice chemistry and ending, and has Alexa looking about as good as I’ve ever scene her for taking a facial.

The 6th Reflection is a pretty well done adult movie. The plot isn’t too clear, but is still rather intriguing as the story of the house unravels. It’s saved by the sex, which is creative and energetic, and always fun to watch as well as being very couples friendly. Carmen Luvana does an amazing job in both her scenes, and Lola, Flick, Lee Stone, and Pier’s scene is one of the most unique I’ve seen in a long time. The 6th Reflection is a nicely and artistically done couples feature.

Extras: Trailers are included for Sex Magician, Virgin Canvas, and Erotic Intentions. Bios are included for Julian, Lola, Dale DaBone, Ann Marie, Ian Daniels, Pier, and Lee Stone. Each bio includes a photo of the star and a varying amount of personal information. The photo gallery lasts about two and a half minutes with about eight seconds per very nice looking photo. There’s also internet information, three bonus scenes, and a behind the scenes featurette.

The first bonus scene comes from Private Moments and features Nikita Denise taking on Ian Daniels and Chris Cannon. After a quick meditation, Nikita frees the guys’ guys, and gives them a welcoming kiss. The guys return the favor, trading off on eating and being eaten, with everybody taking time to make sure they’re properly warmed up. The guys keep trading back and forth as they fuck Nikita, and hold off on fucking her ass until shortly before they team up to double penetrate her. Nikita finishes things up with a double facial, but has time between the two pops to prepare herself decently. It’s an okay scene, but slow enough in pace that it sometimes becomes a little boring.

The second bonus scene comes from Unforgettable and stars Jewel De’Nyle and Julian. Although I think the scene was originally presented in the widescreen format, here it appears in full screen and looks like it was stretched from the widescreen format to fit the full screen format. It’s also extremely dark, obscuring more than a few details. Jewel and Julian strip down, which unfortunately reveals Julian’s hideous wedding tattoo of Jill Kelly on his stomach, before Jewel attacks his cock orally. She doesn’t bother having Julian tongue her twat to get her ready, and climbs aboard to ride his baloney pony. Jewel quickly gets vocal, and lets Julian take control with a little missionary action before climbing back on to let Julian fuck her ass as well as fuck it from behind, before giving her an impressive pop in the mouth. It’s a pretty good scene, but feels a bit rushed and shortened.

The third bonus scene pairs Keri Windsor with Pay Myne in a scene from Naked Hollywood 7: Never Say Goodbye. Keri orally attacks Pat’s organ right away, and takes him down her throat several times before letting him return the favor. She lets Pat move up to fuck her as she lays back and then turns around to let him fuck her from behind. She even rides him a little reverse cowgirl before Pat jerks himself onto her face. It’s a pretty good scene, but feels a little off. Both Keri and Pat normally give a very energetic and intense performance, yet here Keri constantly has to tell Pat to smack her harder (spanking her, not treating her as if she was the wife of a professional athlete) which makes things feel odd here. It’s still a pretty good scene, just not as intense as I would have expected from these performers.

Finally, there’s a twenty minute behind the scenes featurette. The camera mostly follows Alexa around, but there’s interviews with most of the rest of the cast as well. It also captures some of the scenes being shot and the photo gallery shoots. It’s a nicely done behind the scenes, but is held back a little because the video feels like it needs to go through another process or two to finish it.

Themes: Straight, group, spanking, rimming (female > male and female > female), oral, and lesbian

Raincoat Factor: High

Overall: Currently most of Adam & Eve’s Premium Collection DVDs can be found online for between $13 and $22 with most stores offering them for under $18. This is a fair price for what you get here. The movie is nicely done, and has a nice transfer as well. Adam & Eve has also put some nice effort into their extras, which helps raise up this DVD as a whole.

Note to Adam & Eve: Nice job here. Your bonus scenes are a great extra, and your behind the scenes are coming along nicely as well.
