Island Fever 2 (2002) Review

Island Fever 2 (2002) DVD Cover

Today is a big day on Dirty Movie Reviews. This review will be our 100 review! That’s correct, this is number 100, and that means that we are doing something special. The special event has called us to review a movie that has Stormy Daniels in it. That’s correct, a movie that features the “it” girl right now, and that’s the president’s mistress, at least for one romp, and it features Stormy Daniels and others. The movie is called, “Island Fever 2” and it was released by Digital Playground, and was directed by Joone. This is a movie that only has a handful of actors in it, but it has an interesting locale, so why not review it for the number 100 review for this site? With that in mind, let’s take a look at the 2002 film “Island Fever 2”. The movie stars Tera Patrick, Erik Everhard, Devon, Barrett Blade, and Stormy Daniels. That’s it. Not a lot of people on this project, so let’s see how it all went down.

The movie starts with a softcore introduction of the actresses that are in this film. They are all on the beach, in the waves, and just in the wind. There’s soft, smooth jazz that plays as we see the women walking around, and looking at the camera, looking away, as the credit rolls. The director wants you to realize that they are in paradise, and you are drifting into the amazing worlds that only can be found in Hawaii, and other tropical destinations. On that note, the feature moves forward straight to the sex, and while that’s not necessarily a bad thing, I have to knock down a point for the use of sexy, jazz music. I hate smooth jazz, so that sucks up front.

The first scene starts, and it features Tera Patrick and Erik Everhard. The two start to kiss, and Everhard starts to caress Patrick’s nude body. The two look like Adam and Eve with the backdrop of a mountain side with green grass, and trees all around. The movie isn’t terrible to start, but the music takes over so that you can’t hear anything other than that. The camera work is good, going in and out of the scenario, letting you soak it all in. There’s a poetic push here, and it’s all quiet, you don’t hear the sounds of sex. Tera Patrick eventually gets down on her knees for a blow job and everything just slows down. The whole sex scene is done in near slow motion as you see an artistic side to how adult cinema can be made. If you’re looking for straight forward sex with moaning and the likes, you will not find it here. This is an erotic picture with a focus on art, and sex, not just the actual act. For that, it gets a few points. After oral, the two move into sex, and you don’t see when Everhard puts on a condom on, but he has one. The two go through several positions on the mountainside, eventually ending in stand up doggy, and then Everhard cumming on the back of Patrick. You hear nothing. You don’t hear the motions, you don’t hear the moaning, you just see the expressions, and some of the penetration, and then finally the finish, and that’s it. It’s like watching a silent film, but it has sex in it. Don’t get me wrong, this is sensual, artistic, and definitely an arthouse sex film, but you can’t hear what Patrick is saying, you can’t hear her moaning, and you can’t really get a feel for the sensuality that is on screen, as it is coupled with jazz music and that’s it. The scenery is great, but the sex? Well, it’s artsy sex, what else can I say about it? Those that are not familiar with Tera Patrick, will find that she’s quite attractive. She has an Asian look to her, tan skin, augmented breasts, and long dark hair.

We move forward to another scene, and the same smooth jazz starts. This time we see Devon nude. Devon is a thin, shaved, blonde haired woman with large breasts. She starts solo, playing for the camera, and then Barrett Blade shows up. Devon and Barrett Blade start their sex scene with a blow job that is slowed down for the camera. After she gives Blade oral, she sits on his face, and that’s where I start to notice a few problems with this scene. Yes, the two are having sex on what seems like a mountain side, with rocks and everything, but there’s obvious clipping and elements that look like a green screen! A closer examination shows off that this is done in post production, and they aren’t really on location in the same way that the first scene was. The amateur nature of some of the production work makes me laugh, as the two keep going forward with foreplay. The two start to have sex and go through a couple of positions but it doesn’t last too long before Blade has to cum, and he lets it all out in Devon’s face as per usual. She then blows him a little afterwards, and the music intensifies. This whole thing feels like it’s going in slow motion, and by the time it’s over, I’m glad that there’s something else to watch. There’s no condom to speak of here, mind you.

We see a sunset and we are taken to a desert location. Here we see Stormy Daniels enter the frame. She is nude and has a scarf that is blowing in the wind. Middle Eastern music starts and we see her in high heels and just nude. She’s tall, has dark blonde hair, long legs, augmented breasts and looks young here. She looks like a Playboy model, not a hardcore porn actress, that’s for certain. I’m impressed by her beauty here, and one cannot blame anyone that wants to be with her, she is framed in such a dynamic way here. Stormy Daniels is introduced to a nude Barrett Blade and she gets on her knees to blow him. The two get familiar fast. There’s a focus on sex here, of course, and this time the camera catches the condom outright. The two have sex in front of a green screen, and it’s hilariously bad. If this is not a green screen, I’ll gladly admit I’m wrong, but it looks really bad. Either way, the two have stand up sex, and it’s not sexy at all. I was expecting more out of this. You don’t hear the moaning or the movement’s yet again, you just hear the Middle Eastern sounds. It really takes away from the larger portrait of what this could be. At one point Blade pulls Stormy’s hair and even chokes her a little, and this is all fine sexual elements for a porno, but the lack of hearing, and the slow down of the camera really plays with what you’re trying to do if you’re trying to get off. If you’re watching for review, like I am, it can be creative, artsy, and interesting, but if this is not meant for review, then it gets boring with Blade going in and out in normal fashion, lacking passion and well, it’s just mechanical. After a while we get the money shot and it’s on Daniels’ chest and a little on her face, but she looks like she’s not into it at all. It’s lackluster, and really “forced” as the camera fades into something else.

The camera picks back up and we see different sequences of paradise, the clouds, and different set locations that are nothing short of beautiful. Then we are focused on Tera Patrick, and she’s nude. She does a little dance for the camera, then lays down and looks good for the camera and pictures etc. There’s nothing wrong with this, it’s sexy, it has an artsy quality to it, and it really paints Tera Patrick as a beautiful woman.

The camera fades and we get to another location, and this time it’s again on location without green screen. It features Tera Patrick and Erik Everhard and they are enjoying sex by a waterfall. Patrick is on her knees blowing him right away. This time around Everhard takes a lot more time to give Patrick head, and it is interesting to watch, but you cannot hear the sounds, so she moans and moves a bit, but there’s an instrumental sound that makes it a bit boring to watch. There’s a condom again, and it’s too tight for Everhard, which is odd to me, as it doesn’t roll up or anything during the sex. We go into reverse cowgirl to start things off and then several other positions, with an interesting waterfall backdrop, but honestly, there’s not a whole lot to this other than the two having sex with techno jazz music behind them. After some changes, Everhard cums on her chest, and that’s the end of this one.

We move onto the next focus and it’s Devon playing on a lava beach. She plays with her breasts, and she plays with the water, and there’s a soft instrumental sound behind her. This is just modeling at it’s finest, and it does a good job of making Devon look amazing, but honestly, that’s not really what I was expecting with this movie.

After Devon dances in the water and plays with herself a little, the camera fades and we are taken to another location and we see Tera Patrick playing in a lava rock beach. There’s more instrumental music, and this time we see Tera Patrick playing with herself in slow motion, all the while the director moves in and out of the scene, never being crass, and never going too deep into what is going on.

The camera fades and returns, and there’s Erik Everhard again. This time again, he has sex with Tera Patrick, this time on a beach. This is mechanical sex yet again, only this time the focus isn’t on foreplay, but rather a different position and new music. It’s artistic, it has merit, it’s soft, it’s nearly not X-rated, except from time to time you see the insertion, but it’s mostly a vanity project that shows off the beauty of the location mixed with the art of sex, and it’s well, just sex. There’s no chemistry to it at all, and you can tell that Patrick isn’t even wet here. The finish line arrives with Patrick blowing Everhard until he cums in her hand and that’s it. The end of that scene.

The final scene in this movie features Devon and Barrett Blade. They are at the location that started the movie, and everything yet again is done with the same style as the other parts. There’s a focus on the oral here, with artistic musical scores, movement in and out with the camera, and not a bad bit of focus. There’s a lot going on here with the backgrounds, and the location, but that’s juxtaposed with the sex that is going on. Devon is a beautiful girl, and yet Blade doesn’t seem to be that intrigued by what’s going on. There’s no condom here, and the two get into the sex which you can’t hear again, and it’s not terrible, but it’s also not what you’d expect from a porno movie. The two go at it for a while, change positions, and eventually Blade cums on Devon’s backside, and that’s a wrap for this movie.

I give “Island Fever 2” a 3 out of 5.

Visually speaking, “Island Fever 2” is beautiful. It has art, it has style, but strip away some of the backgrounds, and you have a gonzo movie that doesn’t have sounds of sex. I like the sound of sex, not just watching people have it. The music is not my taste, the women are beautiful, but the sex is silent, and slowed down for art’s sake. If you like that, then you will like this movie, otherwise you’ll ask yourself what you’re watching, and why.

The Sex Lawyer (2002) Review

The Sex Lawyer (2002) DVD Cover 

Going to something more modern, I’ve decided to import a movie that is dubbed in English. It’s called “The Sex Lawyer”, and it’s from 2002. It has a very unique plot for a porno, and the film grain and quality is above your standard porno. In fact, the plot has more of a “Cannon Films” quality, with the dubbing, and grindhouse elements. This feels like a B movie, more than anything else. If you’re a fan of grindhouse movies, then you may like this one, as “The Sex Lawyer” is very focused on plot, and of course, sex. The dubbing is bad, but hey, it’s a plot driven porno from Europe, so I didn’t mind it that much. This Italian porno movie feels more like a big budget movie than it does a porno, until you get through the opening plot, and into the real crux of this, which features 7 sexual romps and more plot turns than your average modern porno movie.

The plot starts with a man who is desperate and is going to court for trial. But amidst going home, he ends up getting a gun and thinking about a robbery. He couldn’t do it, and decides to throw his gun away. However, the cops show up and arrest him anyways, and end up taking him in for questioning and saying that he has committed a local robbery. That switches to a couple of lawyers talking, and leaving behind two attractive people that are going to do it. The dubbing is so bad at this point, but the actors aren’t half bad.

Five minutes into the movie you get your first sex scene and it features Elinor Gasset and Frank Gun. To attractive European actors that start this a bit mechanical, with neither one of them having a lot of chemistry. The music starts, and you really start to see what this movie is, and it’s a European porno with Casio keyboard quality music. I was lauhing at this point, even though the clothes were starting to come off. The two are completely shaved, so if you like that kind of thing, this will be a fun scene for you. Other than that, it’s a mechanical sex scene with attractive people, but no real emotion. There’s very little emotional bond between these two, and it shows. Yes, there’s moaning, but it’s definitely not a great sequence. It’s very tedious, and even the money shot looks a bit painful until Elinor starts a blow job after the fact. The cinematography is good here, and the scene is functional, but the music and the boring sex doesn’t help.

The movie goes forward through another plot point. The principle lawyers discuss the case with one of the accused, and then you see the lawyer driving around. That leads to a scene where the criminal goes to jail and is stuck in prison. This of course takes time to build, and once the lights are out in prison, our criminal starts to imagine his sex life with his girlfriend, and it becomes a sensual scene, with once again, bad quality jazzy music, and fake moaning and dubbing.

The sex scene features Sophie Angel and Alex Mantegna. This is a workable scene, with the two going through various positions, but the harpsichord music really threw me off. The two work ok together, but it’s just mechanical again. It doesn’t look like they are really enjoying it until the very end where the moans start getting deeper, and it appears that Alex is starting to go soft. He must have gotten soft because there’s a fade to the ending money shot, and he doesn’t seem to be getting very close at all, so you see him jerking it while Sophie waits and moans, but eventually it’s overall and that’s it. Another sex scene in the books, and honestly, it’s not that great. It’s kind of boring.

In the next scene we see Margareth Deli, Sophie Angel, and Mike Foster in a threeway. This isn’t a terrible scene, but it definitely lacks the passion that you’d expect from a lot of other sex scenes. However, there are a few moments that make this one not half bad, and it’s the hand job portion of the sex. Everyone is clean shaven here, and everyone seems adequate in the positions, and having sex is fine, but it’s just a little mechanical.

The movie continues to with a lot of plot devices. There’s a late night study session, and eventually turns into sex. The two stars here include Lara Stevens and David Perry. This is a lot more passionate than the other scenes, with both performers kissing a lot. They kept kissing and going through, with a passionate score that really changed the mood of this movie. Seriously, this scene seems out of place, since the two actually seem to like each other a lot more than the others. The only odd thing, is that the movie has an English dub for some of the moaning.

After some plot maneuvering, the lawyer visits her client and through their talk, ends up giving him a special gift. This scene features Milly D'Abbraccio and Alex Mantegna. Milly isn’t the most attractive of stars, but she really puts on a show, and seems to be enjoying herself with Alex. This may be the second best scene in the whole movie, as she really seems to like what she’s doing.

The movie then moves forward with another plot point, where lawyers and corrections officers discuss the case. Things keep moving forward, and you see the lawyer in her office, (Milly), and things seem to be moving forward as you’d expect. Milly D'Abbraccio and Nick Lang eventually have sex, but first, you will get a full scene with Milly trying to go over the details of her case.

Milly D'Abbraccio and Nick Lang go at it next on a peach looking couch. Milly is not shaved, mind you, and she is older. She seems to be enjoying this a lot, and that’s why she’s the star of this movie. Milly, kind of looks like Leonard’s mom from The Big Bang Theory, so that kind of tells you what she looks like. The two go through different positions, and while Nick seems to just be going through the motions, Milly seems to really like the process.

There’s a final orgy scene featuring Margareth Deli, Milly D'Abbraccio, Alberto Rey, Leslie Taylor, and Mike Foster, but in the import that I have, they didn’t show this. Maybe it’s an extra scene? I don’t know. The movie ends with Milly and Nick, at least in the one that I saw, and that was the end.

I give “The Sex Lawyer” a 2 out of 5.

This was not a great one, but it is functional. The women are European, the dubbing is bad, the music is ok, but it’s a mechanical sexual movie, with a cool plot, but that’s about it.

You can purchase “The Sex Lawyer” at various locations, via import. It’s an Italian film, and you may not find it everywhere.

America The Beautiful (2002) Review

America The Beautiful DVD Cover - SRC ADULT DVD EMPIRE 

The Cal Vista classic from 2002 is the movie that I’m going to tackle today. This was a Metro Studios production, and I was able to get a DVD copy of this one. I first heard about this movie thanks to the Houston 500. If you’re not familiar with that, it’s because you weren’t paying attention to the gang bang record. Houston broke that record when she ended up performing 620 acts of sex with a revolving door of individuals at an open call to a set where men, including Ron Jeremy would get to have sex with her. This was post the Houston 620 as it is now known, and you could tell that Houston was ready to retire. She had received some plastic surgery and her face was just different now. Mark Davis, Ron Jeremy, and others were cast in this movie, and the most notable change that was evident in the first few minutes of this movie was Houston’s lips. They are surgically enhanced, and it’s hard not to notice. Her blonde hair and body were still very good at this time, as she didn’t retire yet, and didn’t have cancer and fought it to victory, yet. While Houston is the star of the show, this is not a gonzo flick, it has a story that is quite good if you were to remove all of the sex. In fact, despite the VHS level quality of the filming, it’s far better than a lot of the gonzo pictures that came out in the late 1990s and of course the 2000s. I’m not sure what the budget is, but this isn’t half bad, and the editing, visuals, and music all work together to make an interesting movie. Oh, but before I get too far, this is a porno, so let’s not wax too poetic. Houston broke the record of the world's biggest gang bang after Annabel Chong did it with several hundreds of men. Her story was the subject of a documentary, "Sex: The Annabel Chong Story", which is here.

The premise of “America The Beautiful” is simple. The main character named America, played by Houston is being convicted and thrown in jail for violating the law being in porn. She is being prosecuted by none other than Ron Jeremy, who is hell bent on making sure that she goes to prison for being in porn. She tries to ensure that as an adult actress her work is protected under the First Amendment, and through the movie you’re treated to court scenes, and of course, sex. This is a story driven, well-produced movie, and while it is a VHS quality release, it still has some good editing, and sequences of mundane, everyday life that makes it worth your time, well, except maybe some of the sex, which is always hit or miss with porn.

After some moments with the court and both lawyers arguing, we are given the first sex scene. It features Houston and Mark Wood. Mark Wood seems familiar somehow, but I can’t place him as I type this. This is a standard scene with Houston giving Wood a full blow job, before he gives Houston cunnilingus. There is a moment where the jury and court room is spliced into the scene, but otherwise it’s Houston in an American Flag bikini and Mark Wood looking like a dork. He receives oral, and she seems to enjoy that aspect, before getting her vagina licked. The music is not half bad here, and the scene moves forward swiftly, but the two do not have a lot of chemistry and it shows on both of their faces. While Mark Wood does stay hard, he has a condom on that looks to be a bit tight, and thick, and he just looks to be concentrating far too deeply on what is going on, instead of getting into a rhythm with Houston. Houston, for her part looks to be tired, and bored but still throws out a few moans and lines that are obviously part of some script. It’s not too hot, but it’s serviceable if you’re a fan of Houston. I’m not a big fan, so I didn’t think this scene was that hot, although it gets the noodle going so to speak. Good lighting though, and great positioning poolside, so that’s a plus. Mark finishes on her face, as is the trope in porn, right?

The next scene here is a little bit behind the scenes. You are treated to a lesbian sequence that features Alexa Rae and Jessica Dee. These two women are girl next door types, and are introduced by Houston. For this, you are taken to a real porn set, and it’s pretty lackluster. If you have ever been on set, you know that there isn’t always a big budget, and you usually got to a cold warehouse with a backdrop. Well, this is what you get here. The two are pretty enough, and while there is some chemistry to the scene, the lackluster production values just made me laugh, especially the backdrop that features an obvious painted sun. The scene showcases your standard male driven lesbian sequencing, and that’s cool if you like that.

After the lesbian scene, the direction goes back to the court room. This time around Ron Jeremy is grilling Aria about pornography and how it’s bad for people. He is in a full suit, and he goes on to show the jury another scene, this time once again introduced by Houston. This sequence features Aria, Brian Surewood, and Mark Davis. I for one had or maybe have a huge crush on Aria. She’s always seemed so cool, and in this scene, she is enjoyed by two men, or rather, she enjoys the process of getting it on with two men. They look like pirates, to be honest, but hey it’s porn. This is a halfway decent scene, with Aria giving attention to both men, and the two giving her as much attention as they could, one by one, and of course doubling down. For Aria fans, this is a great scene, as she does anal, and regular penetration, and then goes into a full double penetration, which is always interesting. She is a performer that I’ve always found to be entertaining, and in this scene, she seems to be enjoying herself, and the two guys really complement her in lasting long and enjoying the ride. With the exception of one guy losing his erection at one point, and having to continually try to get back up. Aria helps him, though, and that of course leads to greatness, right? The only downside here is that the director decided to splice in footage of the jury watching the porn, so if you’re trying to stay in the fantasy, you are taken out by seeing the reaction of people’s faces. The scene ends abruptly with a facial, and it’s not half bad. Aria always delivers, and she’s one special performer. Mark Davis and Brian Surewood do their best, but it’s Aria that shines here if you ask me.

You are then taken from that scene to an odd scene featuring Nina Ferrari and Tyce Bune. I mention that this is odd because while the previous scene didn’t have condoms, this did, and a pink colored one to be exact. While this isn’t a bad thing, it’s just an interesting contrast to what we just saw. Nina Ferrari looks familiar, as I swear she was escorting in Los Angeles for a short spell, but I cannot confirm that at all. She’s a blonde-haired rocker chick, with piercings, and a good California look to her. Tyce Bune is no one I’m familiar with, but he manages to get through this scene, with relative ease. While the two don’t have amazing chemistry, they manage to salvage things towards the end of the film, with an interesting rush to the finish line. The music is not bad, the set is similar to the previous scene, and the sex is more than basic. It’s not a bad scene, mind you, it’s just kind of generic when compared to what you just saw with Aria and two men. If you’re already a fan of Nina Ferrari, then you will like this, otherwise you will find this to be somewhat forgettable to be honest.

Ron Jeremy, despite being the prosecutor is getting some action in this sequence. It’s Paris and Ron Jeremy in a scene that will either entice you or will disgust you. I say that because I know people that don’t like to watch fat Ron, but rather prefer his younger years of work. I mean, yes, I reviewed “Ball In The Family” where he is much thinner, and overall a better performer, but here is pulling double duty. He is acting, and he is doing his thing with Paris. That being said, it’s a scene that has all of the basic elements of Ron Jeremy’s latter year performances. What does that mean? Well, if you’re a fan, you know that he is fat, and because of that, he has to literally hold his penis to move it into position and then shove it into holes. I know, this all sounds crass, but if you see this movie then you know the moves. He holds the base and just works it, never really showing that it’s fully erect, which is always an oddity for me to watch. Jeremy goes through the scene, but he doesn’t have a lot of chemistry with Paris, and she’s a trooper for going through this one. It’s a manageable scene if you’re a fan of Ron, otherwise, you may not want to watch this one. It’s not extreme, it’s just Ron not in his prime, so to speak.

We are back in the courtroom with a final argument, and then treated to the grand finale scene. This features Houston and Joel Lawrence. Houston does anal here, and Lawrence is a kind lover, not going too hard, and just moving forward through the motions with Houston. That being said, this is a sterile scene that is very much “business”. That’s not a bad thing, mind you, but you can tell from the performance that the two didn’t have nearly as much chemistry as you’d think, and Houston as this point was going through the motions of getting a paycheck. That doesn’t make a terrible scene, as she certainly moans, and moves through the motions, but with a facial and finale that is just somewhat mechanical, you start to rethink this movie’s star. However, Houston has some amazing eyes, so perhaps I got lost in the moment. This final scene wasn’t terrible, but it certainly wasn’t grand.

After the last sex scene, the jury is seen arguing back and forth about the case. There are men and women that just don’t agree, and they keep trying to come up with a decision. Much like a real court, they are sequestered and they argue back and forth. I’m not sure how many people stuck around to see this finale, since it’s not sexual at all. Everyone keeps their clothes on, and nothing happens here that is “sexy” in tone. However, if you want to see the verdict of “America The Beautiful”, then by all means stick around. I won’t spoil the ending for you, but let’s just say that Houston made more movies after this one. If you stick to the credits, you can see all of the people that worked on this movie. I guess that’s kind of cool. I don’t know why I watched the credits, but I did. Maybe because I’m an idiot.

I give “America The Beautiful” a 2 out of 5.

There was only one major scene that I wanted to watch again after reviewing this. Aria’s scene was well worth it, other than that, the story driven option and first amendment element was not half bad. I liked it.

You can purchase “America The Beautiful” via your local adult book store, I’m sure, or online.
