Island Fever

In this film not a peep is heard from the actors. Not a whimper, gasp, grunt, nothing. Slow soft music plays, no sound from the people having sex. I've seen two Tara Patrick movies now, In one they do have some moaning and such no words spoken, in this one neither. Apparently she can't speak on camera. Now I'm not one of those people that thinks a sex film should justify itself with a story, who cares? I'm there for the sex. But I do enjoy the sound of two aroused people urging each other on. Tara it seems, is beautiful, but that's all. Her sex is mildly engaging, and apparently she's nearly mute or just inept at even what passes for acting in porn. this proves what it takes men a while to understand, it takes more than just being beautiful to be good in bed.

This is certainly not Tera's best film... the editing is annoying i.e. your watching one of the girls masturbate cut to a picture of a tree and the next shot the girl has somehow moved 30 feet??? suggesting that no real masturbation was taking place. Which I just found down right bizarre. Also there is no love making sounds only music... which is also a bit annoying. I found myself attempting to listen to what was being said!!! Which of course you can't.. Tera is cute as a button in this which is what I suppose most people would be watching it for and her final scene it looks like she is really getting into to it, or maybe she is a better actress than many allow for? She is still my favourite porn star although she is now getting on a bit, but then again aren't we all? If your a Tera fan this is obviously a must, if not its not one of her best. I suggest this for couples rather than hormonal young men.

This Digital Playground hit from two decades back is typical of the era's approach to abstract porn: as star Tera Patrick notes in her commentary track the sex is natural and shorn of the artificiality of acting and working with a crew: just head to Maui, brave the elements and shtup for the camera.

This dreamy evocation of the beauty of nature, as Tera, Julia Ann and Briana Banks bring their assorted big breasts to display against incredibly lovely backdrops of waterfalls, surf and rocks by the beach, fans can get their rocks off with relative ease. Studs Bobby Vitale, a stalwart of innumerable Vivid videos during the decade as well as a well-built Adonis named Devin Wolf (who had already shown his acting chops in several Bud Lee features including the classic "Wildflower") hump away with great dexterity and those pesky condoms used for safe-sex promoting porn back in the day.

Absence of dialog and sound gives the show a remote aspect, but fans of Adult Cinema who appreciate beauty will want to sample this time capsule.
