The women of a well-to-do neighborhood are being attacked by a mysterious psychopath, and four ladies with sexual skeletons in their closets may be the next victims...unless one of them is the stalker! Softcore staple Griffin Drew turns in yet another sexy performance, even doing a hot threesome with Pia Reyes, but the star of this flick is Beckie Mullin, who went on to be one of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. Also stars the stunning Kristen Knittle, Lorissa McComas, Venesa Talor (as Vanessa Lynn Tendler) and Cory Lane (as Teresa Politi).

Episode 11. Belle (Kim Dawson) and her friends Collette (Griffin Drew) and Laurel (Shannan Leigh) play a sizzling game of Truth or Dare that results in a night of passion for one of the three women. That might be the sexiest paragraph we've ever written, especially when Kim and Griffin end up in bed together!

A gothic romance novelist (Michelle von Flatow) is told by her boss to go out and do some new stuff, as she has overdone the fantasy-pirate-romance genre to death. She travels to Europe, and takes up residence in a haunted mansion. She finds an 18th century diary telling of an American woman (Griffin Drew) who visited the family who owned the house, and shocked them with her flirtatious sexual manners. She ultimately shows her aunt and two cousins up as hypocrites. Inspired, the writer goes on to write a new series of romances. Also starring Sandy Wasko.



The story is silly, but Griffin Drew's got a great body and I welcome anything that's got Sandy Wasko in it. She's a petite blonde with one of the best natural bodies in softcore. Her girl/girl scene in this flick with Drew is definitely reason enough to buy this DVD.

This Pay-Per-View flick is basically scenes from Jim Wynorski's Bare Wench Project II and III with scenes of reality TV star Melissa Brasselle in between making snarky comments. Melissa could get naked much more and open her mouth much less, but aside from that there is nothing wrong with this cavalcade of nude softcore starlets, including Nikki Fritz, Juliet Cariaga, Julie K. Smith, Julie Strain, Alexus Winston, Glori-Anne Gilbert and Arban Ornelas.

Porno vet Holly Sampson got a marquee softcore career going by following in the footsteps of Sylvia Kristel, Laura Gemser and Krista Allen and assuming the role of Emmanuelle at the turn of the century. Though the franchise had been plundered excessively over its thirty year history, erotica producer Alain Siritzky returned to the well once again, this time with the sure hand of writer/director Rolfe Kanefsky guiding the story and the result is an amusing, often steamy trifle. This title is one of seven that were created out of the Emmanuelle 2000 series, in much the same way Siritzky's Click, Adventures of Justine and Emmanuelle in Space series were handled.

But while the story is engaging enough - this installment bears a very strong resemblance in theme and tone to the Click series with people getting "turned on" in inconvenient situations by an advanced piece of technology - the casting of Sampson seems suspect as she doesn't have the same kind of presence as her predecessors. This isn't to say she doesn't give her all during her scenes - quite the contrary in fact as she makes Krista Allen's version of Emmanuelle seem downright demure. Rather it's just that Sampson doesn't radiate beauty the same way as the others, something that Emmanuelle is most known for in all incarnations.

Still, the movie overcomes any perceived casting errors by simply filling the supporting cast with a laundry list of well-known skin stars including Shauna O'Brien (post-boob-job and here portraying a wheelchair bound scientist), Brandy Miller (as a thief who should've been in A Chorus Line, Griffen Drew (with that regrettably crimped hair again), porno great Nancy Vee and, in a wacky end sequence, softcore heavy hitters Amy Lindsay, Regina Russell, Gabriella Hall and Jacqueline Lovell. That ending scene, where Emmanuelle's lust-inducing necklace transmitter goes global also features several gorgeous ladies this reviewer was unable to identify, so those with sharp eyes and an encyclopedic knowledge of the genre are invited do some ID'ing! Just toss the unknown's names into the comments area.

Like all Siritzky productions, there are also several lesser-known (but no less beautiful) ladies that get into the action. The highlight here is the sharp, stunning Cecilia Bergqvist who gives a piano player a show of his own during her temperature raising sequence (which also features a quick turn from an "early in her career" Tiffany Shepis.

With so much going on, how can one not recommend Emmanuelle 2000: Emmanuelle's Intimate Encounters? It's a fun, sexy romp that bests many a previous installment story-wise even if it doesn't with the casting of the leading lady herself.

Ahhh... how one should miss the heyday of the "Erotic Thriller" - the days back when guys like Jim Wynorski were given things like low budgets and actual locations instead of being relegated to no-budget camcorder productions in their own backyards.

And so it is that Midnight Tease 2 can now be considered a "cult classic" of sorts, with a bodacious cast list of lovely ladies unafraid to bare it all as strippers - another rarity in the 2000's - and leading lady Kimberly Kelley as the "nice-girl-going-undercover" to figure out who may have killed her twin sister.

Typical shenanigans ensue, with lots of red herrings and a whacked-out twist ending, but it's all handled with genuine b-movie love by director Richard Styles and producer Wynorski. And there are plenty of fantastic looks at the stripping cast of characters, many of whom get in a bunch of quick nude scenes before their inevitable death by asphyxiation scene. Most eye-popping is a young, gorgeous Julie K. Smith who moves great and looks even better as the bubbly member of the stripper gang. While no one quite matches her bust size (artificial or not, it is still impressive) or moves, Tammy Parks, Griffin Drew, Debra Beatty, Kimberley Roberts, Erin Ashley, Kim Kopf, and ravishing blonde Antonia Dorian all do their best to make an impression.

But it really is Kimberly Kelley that shines here, her perfect, athletic build and girl-next-door face making her erotic dance sequences (and one abbreviated love scene) all the more sultry.

If you're looking for something with a truck-load of well-known b-movie babes stripping to cheesy rock music and a hokey murder plot to fill in the few moments without boobs, Midnight Tease 2 is sure to please!

Fans of under-boob, chocolate sauce and Nikki Fritz rejoice! While Book of Babes: Bare Wench 2 (AKA: The Bare Wench Project 2: Scared Topless) is a hand-held camera nightmare to watch, it delivers in spades when it comes to the above, also delivering five other hot actresses in various stages of total undress. If one could label this thing as having a "story," it would revolve around returning cast member Nikki Fritz's efforts to find her sister (who Fritz played in the first movie) who disappeared on Bare Wench Mountain with a gang of horny and clothing-allergic ladies. So logically Fritz brings along fellow softcore vets Samantha Phillips and Griffin Drew, along with several lesser know talents (who provide just as much eye-candy) including Alexus Winston, Arban Ornelas and the positively luscious Juliet Cariaga. Also along for the ride is a blonde-extensions-wearing Julie Strain as The Bare Wench herself, and of note is a quick cameo from a bikini clad Stacy Rosman who giggles it up with Andy Sidaris who does a quick shtick as Mr. Bigdickian, the money man behind Fritz's expedition.

Never sure whether they are on a somber task to actually find Fritz's sister and friends or if they're just out to get naked in the woods, the ladies improv their way through scenes with varying degrees of success, some jokes hitting their targets, but most falling very, very flat. Fritz is a lively, bubbly presence and, despite her constructed anatomy, an absolute vision to behold sans what little clothes she wears from scene to scene. Samantha Phillips, her voice hoarse and amped to near-shouting volume for almost every line, is a trifle annoying, but her harshness is offset by quiet, appealing and good-natured Griffin Drew and the wonderfully natural beauty that is Juliet Cariaga. It's terribly surprising that Cariaga doesn't have a lot more credits to her name, and not just with nudie pictures.

Probably a bit too disjointed and trying for a beer-and-pizza night with friends, put Bare Wench 2 on while you're working at home on something that doesn't require total attention and kind of watch it out of the corner of your eye. This way you'll lessen your need for Dramamine and catch only the jokes worth catching.
