This is a beatiful, highly erotic 1994 Cameron Grant
film. It is suitable for couples but includes some
extremely hot scenes. There is an absolutely scorching
anal scene between Vanessa Chase (remember her?) and
Steve Drake. Strong men will weep. If that scene
doesn't get your rocks off, you're beyond jaded, you may be
deceased. There's also a great scene with Asia Carrera and
Gerry Pike (remember him?). The gorgeous Celeste, a
Cameron Grant favorite, is featured prominently.
It also stars Catalina and Kaylan Nicole, with appearances by
Yvonne, Misty Rain, Debi Diamond, Juli Ashton, Tammy Parks,
and . . . Jenna Jameson, although Jenna is billed under a
different name.
The content is outstanding. The technical aspects
of the disc are not good. From a video standpoint,
the DVD is marginally better than a tape. The big
disappointment was the sound. You expect the video
quality of DVD to be better than a tape, but you expect
DVD sound to be much, much better than a tape. For
the first half of the disc, I kept thinking how bad the
sound was, but I thought it was just poorly
mixed, with much too much bass and not enough treble.
Finally, 5 1/2 scenes into a ten scene movie, the
treble ranges kicked in, and the movie sounded terrific
for the last 4 1/2 scenes. This may have been a
manufacturing defect, and possibly even unique to my disc,
but I doubt it.
Another disappointment is that there were essentially
no extras. A static 10 scene menu and one trailer
for Dinner Party II: The Buffet, which as the previous
reviewer noted, is an inferior sequel not directed by
Cameron Grant.
Its a great movie, just bad technical problems. If
Ultimate could work out the tech end of it, I would
love to see them bring out Grant's "Fantasy Chamber"
and "Elements of Desire" on DVD.
