Behind-The-Scenes extra : Almost half an hour ! Starts with a 3 minutes silent segment of the various performers in photo sessions, then one-on-ones with Evan, Natalia, Carmen, as well as recaps of the major scenes. Lengthy but not very informative.

Short Story : Hoping to major in paranormal, college cutie Carmen decides to investigate the strange rumours plaguing her local cemetery. She's soon overwhelmed by arousing visions of the past, as her mind revisits the passions of the deceased, and embarks on a journey of sensual self-discovery.

SCENE BREAKDOWN :

1) NEVAEH ASHTON & CHEYNE COLLINS

In the 19th Century (or early 20th), gentleman Cheyne serenades sweet lady Nevaeh over a picnic blanket. After some generic foreplay, she bends over the blanket for the doggy, keeping her feathered headset on. Naveah has a lithe, natural body with an enticing back arch. As usual with director Steele, the photography is beyond reproach. They switch to spoon, with long full body shots before he comes on her belly. It must be noted that Naveah keeps her mid-leg stockings throughout this otherwise bland scene.

2) NATALIA WOOD & JULIAN

In the 20's, splendid, gorgeous, I'm-out-of-words-for bewitching Natalia Wood descends the stairs of her neo-colonial house to greet private piano teacher Julian (or is he her husband ? Oh, you wouldn't be paying attention either...). He soon pinches her clit with his mouth as she disrobes to reveal a glorious, natural body, and she reciprocates with a very decent fellatio on the stairs. She keeps her long pearl necklace as he takes her from behind, standing up, then she descends onto his shaft for reverse cowgirl. Her full, firm B-cups preen proudly as she bounces on her lover's thick instrument of pleasure (I should be writing naughty Harlequin novels) before he relieves himself on her chest. This scene would be nothing spectacular if it weren't for the amazing beauty of its protagonists. As it is, this is more than enough visual stimulation.

3) CARMEN LUVANA, OLIVIA DEL RIO & JOEY RAY

In the 60's, big-boobed cuties Carmen & Olivia give oral attention to an out-of-shape Joey by the pool. This man was once studly. Olivia sports a Jacqueline Susann hairdo and Carmen wears earglobes and a turban. That's for your 60's settings. Carmen blows Joey while Olivia eats her snatch. Then the brunette sits on Joey's face as the Adam & Eve contract girl impales herself on his dick. Some more positions ensue before this very (too) professional threesome ends in Joey blowing a massive load over Olivia's butt.

4) AMBER RAIN & EVAN STONE

Back to the Civil war (probably), pretty blonde Amber in a white dress wakes in a bed of roses to chivalrous Evan eating her snatch. Amber has a bit of a pre-implant Sunrise Adams to her. She lays Evan on the outdoor tester bed (don't question me) to give him some very good head, including commendable attempts at a deep throat. She mounts on him for the cowgirl. Amber's pallid complexion is in direct contrast to Evan's California tan. He spreads her short legs for deep missionary thrusts in this scene's best moment, then comes on her belly. Nice.

5) DOMINICA LEONI & STEVEN ST CROIX

Dominica is very sophisticated in straight, shoulder-length locks and a graphic dress, as she & Steven play in-house snooker. She looks like Linda Fiorentino. They leave the balls behind and she grabs Steven's own queue for more intimate games. After a good blow-job, barely hindered by the billiard table (remember, this is a Nicholas Steele movie), she lays on the sofa and spreads her garter-belted long legs to receive Steven's oral compliments. All in all, excellent, tender foreplay, beautifully filmed. Then she bends over and Steven goes straight to the A, which I didn't really expect from this movie. She turns around for more missionary anal, with excellent full-body shots alternating with the close-ups, before he comes on her belly. This movie's saving grace.

6) CARMEN LUVANA & EVAN STONE

In the present day, Carmen & Evan 69 on a outdoors bar. What this bar is doing in the middle of nowhere, you don't want to know. She climbs on him for the cowgirl, and they continue in seated missionary. Evan finally removes his Hawaiian shirt, which should be against the law anyway. They switch to pile-driver missionary, then descend from the bar, and fuck some more in standing-up doggy. He comes on her butt. Nothing you haven't seen a thousand times.

THE LOWDOWN : After « Code Blue »’s nice surprise, this marks the return of Nicholas Steele's trademark neo-romantic camp aesthetica, and I swear there are hotter movies on Showtime. Carmen Luvana is practically invisible, eclipsed by the director's will to transfix every moment of heat into a sterilized tableau of soft-focus ready-made erotica, which is always visually arresting but as sexually arousing as a fine-art nude. Obviously marketed towards couples, even the chilliest of audiences would unfortunately get bored in 20 minutes.
