Bud Lee

Review:

The name Bud Lee, while not that familiar to modern porn-lovers, is synonym to relatively solid, low-budget features with a certain amount of story to them. And this is exactly what we get here : A forgettable but entertaining movie with really beautiful girls this time, and a screenplay by Raven Touchstone who always tries to explore the female mind, though it works only once in a while, with the approriate actors and directors to pull it off (eg. Paul Thomas).

Temptress is a writer of short stories who tells us of her emotionally-unsatisfying life (a warning to those who can't stand this sort of plot : this is VERY romance-novel-ey), of her many men, and of Richard -->you guessed it, the only man who ever understood her. He's played by Devin Wolf (or 'Devon Wolfe') and the voice-over segues into the first sex scene between the two. The remainder of the story is about her being approached by a big publisher (Joel Lawrence), who wants her to write erotic novels in the style of Maxwell Hunt (Jon Dough) , who is apparently well-known for his steamy stories. Jon and Temptress inevitably get 'close' and this leads to a problem since he's married (to Anna Malle), but it turns out that Ms. Malle is accepting her husband's polygamous desires and the three live happily ever after.

Sex Scenes :

1)As I have said already, we start off with the Wolf/Temptress My hopes were high for a great b/g coupling, and I was rewarded with a very good scene. I liked it when the voice-over was still on the soundtrack during the sex... makes it almost philosophical, with Temptress' soft voice from the off, and the lines are OK, not too corny most of the time. The lighting is very much acceptable too, with the relatively dark bedroom beinglit by shafts of sunlight coming through the blinds. The only thing I don't like about Temptress is that she's too afraid of cum : after the guy has come, she doesn't even touch his dick anymore! Guess you can't have everything..

2) The first of Temptress' short stories she's supposed to write for Joel Lawrence has Cheyenne Silver (good choice as Temptress' alter ego, since she almost looks the same) masturbating in front of a mirror, enamoured by her own image. Joel comes in and she gives his cock a good cleaning, after which he licks her pussy clean. They have sex in a rather good scene until he comes on her pubes.

3) Temptress and Jon Dough get down in his study, and I liked this one, because it has already been set-up by the story (motivated sex is more interesting to me) and we get to see Miss T's great great body and face for another 10 minutes. She's so elegant! I also liked it when, in the middle of the sex, we cut to a shot outside of the house, and then pan to the window again, where the two are having sex.. She even blows Jon until he shoots his load (on her breasts of course).

4) The second fantasy segment has Cheyenne and Monique Demoane engaged in a lesbian tryst that goes on for a LONG time, though thankfully no toys are used. This could have been so much better with more enthusiasm from the ladies.. still an acceptable scene, as have been the 3 others so far.

5) Anna Malle and a guy who's supposed to be a monk (this is another fantasy segment from one of Temptress' stories, folks) get it on in the fifth scene, and for those who know Anna, I don't have to write one more word... this woman knows what to do in front of a camera! Unfortunately, I'm not really a fan of hers, and of her looks. Still, an energetic fuck with some dirty talk thrown in. One for the fans..

6) The last scene is a boring threesome between Anna Malle, Temptress, and Jon Dough (you'll have noticed by now that the cast isn't exactly gigantic here) which has some nice cocksucking by Temptress, but both women have had better scenes in this (or other) movies. However, this scene ends with a halway decent facial cumshot for Anna, so..

All in all, a very couples-oriented piece, but the sex was pretty hot most of the time. Nothing special to keep me awake, but okay nonetheless.

The DVD :

Now, Adam & Eve learned their game and put a much better transfer on this movie, though I admit that this wasn't so hard since it's shot on video. Except for the first sex scene, the lighting and camerawork are not spectacular, so even best transfer won't amount to much, though.. Sound is not very good, in the outdoor scenes I didn't understand most of the dialogue.

As for extras, we get a lot of nice previews for other titles (who mostly look better than this one, though..) the possibility to move on to the climax of each scene some bios and a gallery.

We even get a time-code during the movie! :)) Beware though, after the first chapter, we go back to the menu on my DVD-ROM player! This has happened to several other people, so maybe there's an error on thedisc. Nothing really bad though.

Conclusion :

Some stores sell this one for 15 or 16 $ so you could do worse if you like one of the three main ladies. I wouldn't buy it though, seeing it once is enough..
