Staying on Top

This is a very fun and sexy soft-core porn flick. Expect loads of high-quality sex and nudity, with several women literally showing off every inch of their bodies. My favorite hottie was Sasha Peralto, who is flat-out stunning as a secretary with a gorgeous face and beautiful body she has no qualms about frequently showing off.

An oldie but a goodie, this Playboy softcore drama from 2002 is one of the most entertaining examples of the genre, thanks to a surfeit of excellent sex scenes and attractive women. The plot is+ entertaining and does a good job of holding one's attention in between the numerous and well-spaced sex scenes, which for the most part develop fairly naturally and do not feel overtly gratuitous.

The cast is good, too, with Holly Sampson playing the ambitious young blonde. Sampson is a well-known genre fave, as is Holly Hollywood who makes a brief appearance about 2/3s into the film. In the end, it is the tanatalizing and beautiful Sasha Peralto who is the one to swoon over in this film, as she is so incredibly pretty and amazing to look at, and completely natural to boot! The rest of the women pale in comparison to her. Though the cast was obviously chosen for how good they look without any clothes on (which occurs very frequently; Peralto in particular hardly seems to have any clothes on at all in the last 1/3 of the film), their performances aren't bad at all.

Well worth seeing for genre fans, just make sure you get the unrated cut.

I didn't get much plot or characterisation from "Staying on Top", but I have to give it a positive review anyway, because it definitely works as soft core. I believe - though I'm not quite sure - that the movie is about a woman who decides to use sex to get to the top of her industry, whatever it is, and an evil scheming woman who tries to stop her. Lots and lots and lots of sex ensues.

About that sex. Some of these women are quite beautiful, especially one named Sasha Peralto, who is one of those natural beauties that really lights up the screen. You don't often get that in soft core. Usually it's women who are only passably attractive, augmented by thousands of dollars of surgery. The highlight is definitely a massage scene that turns into a lesbian sex scene.

There is also a surprise ending, which was fairly memorable, though I didn't get much plot leading up to it, and just barely understood who the bad guy (girl) was supposed to be.

I still say check it out.

These people aren't well known for their acting talents, so the dramatic conflict plotted into the script was mostly a waste of time. Holly Sampson seems to be without her boob job and her hair changes color for a nude scene by the swimming pool, so maybe a double took her place that time. The best nude scene was the last one, it wasn't hers and it was so long that it looked fake. The double crossing schemers of the advertising world left no characters anyone could like. Too much effort was made to plot a story and have a lot of sex that it misfired in both areas. A better sequel is needed with Holly's new boob job. She and her girlfriend quit to become topless dancers. We'll call it Staying Topless!

"Staying On Top" is another film of the soft-core erotica genre. I liked this film, although I have seen better. The acting was generally good considering the genre.

Not many people care about the plots of films like this one, but here it is. A new, young advertising executive, Katherine Phillips, is put in charge of a new account. However her supervisor, Cindy La Conte, takes the account away from her. Ms. La Conte wants the account all to herself. Ms. Phillips quits her job from the frustration, but there's a problem. The new account specifically wanted her to do the work, not Ms. La Conte. If the head of the firm finds out that Katherine Phillips quit her job, Cindy La Conte will be out of a job. If things weren't bad enough for Katherine, she finds out that her boyfriend has been cheating on her. Can Katherine Phillips survive Ms. La Conte's schemes while dealing with the emotional turmoil of her love life? Better yet, can she succeed with her dreams?

Ah, who cares? With a gag character name like "La Conte" for the evil female villain, this film is clearly as deep as a baby pool. However, it's not supposed to be deep. This is a film that couples can watch if they're feeling up to "stimulating" entertainment.

Now here's the deal. Six scenes are straight male-to-female scenes, one scene is a one-female-shower scene, and another scene is a one-female massaging-two-other-females then-getting-it-on-with-the-third-female scene. There are three male actors and six female actresses that grace these scenes. Some don't look that good, but most do. Holly Sampson is always great, and Sasha Rochelle was great too.

It's good. If this sort of thing is your bag, check it out.
