In truth, there's little "Reality" about this collection of glossy shorts
nor is there much "More than Sex" - even the "behind the scenes" reports
offer little beyond an enticement to buy other Private features. Still,
the girls are gorgeous and there's nothing particularly offensive about
it all either. I'm not sure if it's particularly worthy of attention either,
but let's reserve judgement on that a while…
Amaryllis Ensemble
Director Little Al has a certain sense of humour at work in this tongue-in-cheek
affair. Clad in full mediaeval garb, Robby Blake serenades the gorgeous
Fabiola with his lute as they picnic and find inspiration for sex in a
book of naughty etchings. Each sex act is duly described by a caption
in Latin, though I am unsure of the Latin usage of the term "cowgirl".
The accompaniment of cheap midi harpsichord music is surely ironic. I
hope. It's a minor distraction as Robby unlaces Fabiola's dress and proceeds
to lick and finger the brunette Brazilian beauty's nether regions. She
raises her beautifully shaped derriere as she blows him, and they fuck,
Fabiola looking rather dainty next to the burly Robby.
Good shots of her rounded boobs and lovely bottom are more worthy of interest
than the actual sex, though there's good enough energy in spoons and as
she rides on top. Anal soon follows, and Fabiola shoots Robby a come-hither
look as he consults the book for his next move. From her inviting pose,
it could only be doggy style. Anal, of course. She fingers her pulsing
anus and then strokes him off over her face. A rainstorm erupts and the
scene closes as though this were an illustration in the book. It's a neatly
put together little number but lacks real inspiration.
Calendar Girl - Behind the Scenes report
This advert masquerading as a report, laden with the usual voiceover nonsense
about Antonio Adamo's movies having a "sexual charge", visits Adamo as
he shoots his latest feature at his new studios in Napoli. While all the
girls look gorgeous (Julia Taylor, Eva/Alexandra among them), there's
little interest in this ultra-sanitised production, and not even the frankly
sickening sight of the gorgeous Ukrainian doll Nicol performing anal -
for Adamo, for Christ's sake - would tempt me to buy this movie. The best
thing about this report is a candid moment between takes where Mick Blue
and Claudia Jamsson chat about ass licking, beans and the origins of the
term "Greek".
Sex in the Swimming Pool
Lately I've been thinking that I'd sometimes rather see some good softcore
than have my enjoyment of some luscious tease - such as that performed
as the svelte, almost girlish bodies of Pocahontas
and Samanta
glide together in and out of the shower - spoiled by insipid sex with
some anodyne guy. Perhaps this Youngman & Walton scene isn't the most
apt recipient of such criticism, as there is some semblance of excitement
as poolside barman (the location is actually one of the large, tasteless
houses Christoph Clark's been using lately) Gary finally takes the hint
and joins in some kissing and sucking with these two lovely girls.
Being fair, they do make a reasonable fist of it. No, don't get carried
away. The girls seem more comfortable than is sometimes the case as they
lick each other and are fucked by their young fellow. The views of their
slim yet curvy bodies are good. There's a little dildo play and a tiny
amount of gentle anal sex, before Gary pulls from Pocahontas' pulsating
anus, and comes on her ass and red head Samanta's pretty face. This is
very pleasant viewing while it lasts, the girls are really delightful,
but sexually it's in desperate need of some real verve and passion.
Sexy Sex
Who comes up with these titles? This is another functional little number
from studs-turned-directors Andrew Youngman and John Walton, featuring
another pretty blonde called Allisa,
not the Alissa.
She teases Csoky Ice and James Brossman by lifting her clinging flowery
dress to flash her pretty pink pussy. Her sweet little tongue darts into
Csoky's mouth as he moves in, and off we go. Soon, she's on her knees
with a cock in each dainty hand. Fortunately, the quick cuts to music
used in this section of the scene are soon abandoned.
Csoky licks and fingers her, then takes her from behind as she maintains
some mouth and hand action for James. One can always ogle her sumptuous
soft boobs as she rides Csoky if the sex doesn't really catch light. Reverse
cowgirl goes anal and then becomes a double penetration, followed by another
from doggy. Allisa ends it by jerking the guys off (see - it happens,
and more often than is made out!) over her face and tits. Again, this
is a pleasant scene, proficiently shot and performed with commitment but
terribly little character.
Fetish Academy - Behind the Scenes report
Michelle Wild and Steve Holmes battle with wacky costumes and typically
overwrought studio sets for the starring roles in this Fetish Machine
production from the corpulent Mr Kovacs. Other than a little sex between
takes and little bits of goofing around, I find nothing of value and certainly
no real reporting going on. Despite the exhortations of the voiceover
- these people make hyperbole an art form - this seems like an eminently
missable production.
I Miss You
Stacy Silver
and Tina Time in a girl-girl scene, directed by Jean-Yves Le Castel? Surely
some mistake! Unfortunately not. Tina plays a friend who supplies lonely
wife Stacy with the "dose of sex" she needs while her husband's away.
The usual tongue flicking kisses only get marginally hotter as the two
attractive blondes get together. I was going to say "get intimate" but
frankly, that would be misleading. They have sex but it all seems rather
cool. Neither girl convinces that she's really into the insipid pussy
licking that makes this scene slow progress. It might not be the worst
girl-girl scene I've ever witnessed, but it's pretty bad nonetheless.
Some clumsy camerawork adds to the mess. I like both of these girls very
much, Tina being svelte and slinky in contrast to Stacy's fuller curves
(allowing for her needless breast implants) and pouty looks, but they
aren't even shown off very well.
Introducing Sasha Woman
Stupid titles, stupider pseudonyms. Dutch blonde Sasha is like, uh, a
woman. Just in case you didn't notice. Maybe, at 33, she's picked
up this moniker because she's a woman, not a girl, who knows. Whatever,
Sasha's first performance for Private, and her first appearance I've seen,
is actually quite a neat scene by Tom Herold that does rather place style
over substance but is modestly entertaining nonetheless. It also features
the utterly desirable Barbarella,
so that's another plus point.
The scene is introduced as a "talking heads" style interview between two
video monitors, one with Barbarella, one with Sasha. Barbarella introduces
Sasha, who confesses a liking for pretty girls - who could be prettier
than sweet brunette Barbarella? The girls come together on a stage in
a quite starkly lit, Spartan studio for some rather stylised girl-girl
play. One thing is for sure; Barbarella is much keener on eating pussy
than Tina and Stacy. Sasha, for her part, is quite attractive but does
look a touch hard for my liking - her huge, unmoving augmented breasts
are not to my taste either. Still, it's fun enough to watch her vigorously
using a dildo on the younger girl's pussy.
Shaven-headed Heiko Titan and Frank Who (no, me neither) watch the monitors,
and then each joins a girl for some sex. Barbarella's leather harness-wearing
guy feeds her a banana - ah, it was going so well till the "sexy banana
eating" reared its head. Sasha meanwhile swallows down her man's cock
as he lies on a bed. In a dentist's chair, the fellow takes Barbarella
with moderate crudeness till he pops on her ass. The action cuts back
and forth between this and Sasha's encounter, which ends with similar
alacrity with come on her tits after some very brief anal. Barbarella's
video monitor image thanks us for watching, and bids us goodnight. This
was reasonably entertaining, though I can't help feeling that while a
lot of Private's newer directorial recruits bring some creative touches
to styling a scene, they have little inspiration for the actual
sex.
Overall
So, I was hoping a vain hope that Reality 16 would offer something that
would really grab the attention, but it proved just that. A vain
hope. To be honest, I've never been one for Private's magazine series,
but in these changing times for the company, it seems they are short of
really sensational stuff. The real frisson of those days where
they could rely on highlighting the freshest newest girls in these vignette
series is gone. Now everyone is shooting the latest European beauties.
That's not Private's fault, as such, but they're failing to respond with
the sort of definitive product that made their name in the first place.
Maybe this is the wrong place to look, but I can't imagine it's going
to be found in Adamo's generic features or Gazzman's highland fling either.
I don't want to be a total misery about this disc, which is readily consumable
in the way of any functional corporate product. There are, of course,
some truly beautiful women here. There are some perfectly acceptable,
pleasant, enjoyable sex scenes. There's even a tiny touch of style and
invention in some of the scenes. Unfortunately, there isn't enough for
me to suggest this is worth buying - its 80-odd minutes don't even represent
particularly good value for money.
DVD Comments
No issues with picture or sound quality - it's all done to a very high
audio-visual standard. The disc offers trailers, cast and production notes,
a photo book and a choice of five audio and five subtitle languages. There's
also the usual DVD catalogue section, which can be accessed from a DVD-Rom
drive only. It's a decent package, but could still offer a little more,
though the language options are something that keep Private ahead of many
producers in terms of international appeal.
