Hotel Exotica

...Hey Surrender Cinema, what happened to the great editor(s) that created what we've come to expect in the incredible 'The House of Exotic Wax' and (the first) 'Femalien'? Ever since the release of these I've lost sleep eagerly awaiting your new flicks anticipating another cutting-edge scene that depicted unquestionable and believable 'soft' action (that's some really great faking or...). Now all you're producing is the typical ho-hum bedroom boredom available in any Shannon Tweed flick.

This serious disappointment had about four scenes where the hottest action was undercovers, always two people constantly pulling the sheets up over each other -- come-on people, it's all-too-obvious that they're ONLY playing "footsies"! Where were you intending for this to get released, in Saudi Arabia? And why did you disguise this celluloidal waste with an Unrated sticker when what you should've slapped on it was "Disney quality PG-13"?

Sorry guys, or maybe you should be sorry, 'cuz I no longer support your efforts to 'pull the covers' over my eyes. Geez, I've seen more skin and action on daytime soaps...

Two sisters, go away for the weekend. One is upset at her non-attentive husband; the other has just caught her artist boyfriend cheating on her. Both need time to find themselves and boy do they. The Bed and Breakfast they go to is magical. All the couples staying there seem to get lost in lust. The most memorable scene is a very sexy dream that one of the sisters have about a kitchen sex-capade with her sister. Wow. In the genera of sexy movies, at least this one has a story.

I got a rated version from the local Lackluster video rental shoppe...this movie was obviously chopped up with the start of things getting steamy...and then...abrupt music change and there they are, laying side by side basking in the glow of their heated moment. What the movie was about...husband lawyer is way too busy to pay attention to Landon Hall the wife....so wife and sister decide to run away for the weekend...the weekend was originally planned for lawyer husband and attention deficient wife. They arrive at Hotel Exotica and the sparks start to fly as wife watches a couple grope and climb all over each other. Suddenly, back at the Lawyer Shoppe....the husband gets a break in his case load and heads up to Hotel Exotica to meet with attention deficient wife. They meet and after dinner go to bed where...he just goes to sleep. Meanwhile, the very horny sister Ahmo Hight, dreams about a tryst with the palm reader, Taylor St Claire, in the kitchen....only I never saw it...it just starts...and abrupt music change in mid note and she is waking up from the dream with a very big smile on her face. There was a lot of this...like, in scenes where they are in bed, and writhing around, lots of kissing, lots of fondling..but under the covers....WHY? When after the love making, they are laying bare chested in bed....? Was this movie shot with alternate versions in mind and then they got confused as to which version they were putting together? It could have been a great movie for the genre....lots of great looking ladies in little or no clothes....Landon Hall, a beautiful actress who can act well and naturally. Ahmo Hight, the sister, acts well and is built, with a healthy dose of silicone, for serious pleasure. Taylore St Claire is drop dead gorgeous...what scenes I saw her in... If you can get the unrated version, or at least a better edited version, this would be a great show to watch...in my opinion!

The gorgeous Ahmo Hight, who stole "Insatiable Wives", steals this one, too; although the lovely but very wooden and stiff Landon Hall isn't much of a challenge to start with. Hight and Hall play Rachel and Carly, two sisters who don't look like they'd be related LOL who are unhappy with their sex lives. Rachel has been two-timed by her artist boyfriend (who must be an idiot to not enjoy Rachel's prowess in the sack) and Carly's husband is a good man who's too busy with his career to even need to get down to his birthday suit and...

Carly's husband comes up with a place for them to spend the weekend: The Hotel Exotica. However, he's waylaid by business, so Carly takes the rambunctuous Rachel with her. Then the fun begins, with a psychic played by Taylor St. Claire fortelling the futures for their sex lives, along with plenty of steamy sex and lurid fun for the viewer. Eventually Carly's husband and a MFV hunk friend of his make a surprise visit, and it gets very interesting.

As with all MFV soft-core erotica, the acting is negligible and the storyline is hackneyed. The "money shots", which are the point of this film being cobbled up, are summed up in two words: Ahmo Hight. Nobody in the history of cinema can say she's put Sharon Stone's sex scenes in "Basic Instinct" to shame but her. Ahmo is a dynamo in the Unrated version of this film; whether man or woman as her partner, she delivers a temperature-rising performance in her sex scenes. Using her athleticism and gymnastics, she makes you forget that this is "simulated sex". Landon Hall, on the other hand, delivers a less than exhilirating ride, which probably explains why her husband isn't itching to bed her. LOL

Bottom line: it's too bad Ahmo doesn't make these films any more, because she was stellar in the two I've seen with her. She makes this film. I would have liked to see her in a film with Jennifer Burton, that would be a scorching hot film. Good stuff.

What I saw I taped from Cinemax late night TV. It didn't seem edited to me, although it is basically soft core porno with no sex organs actually shown and with a lot of panting and heavy breathing but with a final climax not actually depicted.

The girls and guys are beautiful as usual, and the acting and production values are of a pretty high order for a film in this genre.

Heterosexuality seems to be the case in all of these although there is an occasional lesbian scene (guys seem to like watching those).

A fair amount of female dominance and fetishistic S&M although hardly of the 8mm variety.

All in all, good clean fun (!) to watch..
