Summary: Why live up to your potential when no one expects you to?
Review: I am often fond of saying that a film should be viewed in its own context. It is unfair to compare "Casablanca", "Star Wars", "Gone With the Wind", "Debbie Does Dallas" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". What metric could you possibly use? I don't just limit that philosophy to film. I feel the same way about books and artwork and music. Is it fair to compare Britney Spears to Beethoven? Probably not. Instead, I prefer to judge a piece on its own merits. I look at a painting and say to myself "What is this trying to say?" I watch a film and I ask "What is this trying to be?" As such, I find that I can love and hate individual artists and pieces in the bubblegum pop and classical music genres as well as in the Hollywood blockbuster and late-night erotica film genres as well as anything else. Now that I have said all of that, I must address, Ultimate Attraction. There have been some light-hearted erotic B-Movie flicks that I have greatly enjoyed. Maui Heat: Swimsuit Edition and I'm Watching You immediately come to mind. Ultimate Attraction could probably be looked at as a run-of-the-mill film in those terms. Sadly, it should be so much more than that. The film is based on the Click! series of books by Milo Manara, an acclaimed series of adult graphic novels detailing the use of a device that sexually stimulates people it is pointed at. The film is torn. For the most part it is simply frivolous, playful sexuality but it hints at something deeper. It touches on the effects and consequences of the power of such a device. Gabriella Hall's performance hints at an underlayer of deeper characterization but then falls flat of providing it. We, as viewers, are given just enough to realize how much we are truly missing. Similarly the script hints ever so slightly at the moral issues behind using such a device but only enough to make the viewer wonder more. Hall's performance is adequate for a late night skin flick as are those of her co-stars Robert Donovan and David Chielens. However, Jacqueline Lovell (a veteran of the genre, who frequently surprises me in similar films with her rare ability to actually act) drift through her role as if she didn't want to be there. Other actors in the film have poor performances even by Direct-To-Video erotica standards. This all stands to underscore the failures of the film. I must admit that I was very bored when I watched the movie, and it did amuse me. The story is funny. The cast is attractive. There are quite a few situational gags. The film is certainly watchable and perhaps even enjoyable to an extent, but there are several films in the genre that deliver much stronger. I suggest the The Key to Sex (also featuring Lovell) and Alien Erotica (also featuring Hall) for humorous erotica. Though the film presents a good story idea which isn't realized. For better more story oriented erotica, I suggest Summer Temptations 2(Hall) and I'm Watching You(Lovell). I almost wish the film would have been less ambitious. That would have made me think of it as mediocre. Instead, I think it has bitten off a bit more than it can chew and so falls a little short.

Summary: Who the heck cast the male lead for this movie???
Review: I think he's a Hispanic guy of some sort, but he's so unfunny and geeky I just fast-forwarded all of his speaking parts. (Mind you these movies are not unfamiliar with the fast-forward button... Yao Ming?)
Regardless, what's her face is sexy as usual, but when she transforms and goes into the sauna with another chick and... well I DON'T WANNA RUIN ANYTHING... but yeah. They don't just talk about the weather.
The unrated version shows some shlongs which I really didn't need to see, but hey you can use it as an excuse to show your girlfriend.
I thought the best scene was the scene where the gym owner gets some of the female antagonist in his office. It is a really hot and steamy scene... very believable.
Some of the girls are a bit ugly side (check out the one in the juice-pouring part) and some of the guys in the cast are just boys (see the exercise bike scene) which I thought was a bit strange.
A mixed bag with questionable casting but some good, memorable softcore/semi-hardcore scenes.

Summary: Soft-Core fun!
Review: The plot behind this film is silly, Gabriella Hall and her boyfriend find a contraption that turns on unsuspecting people at a health club. That said, the sex scenes are great, Gabriella looks fantastic, and there's enough other babes that are well worth looking at. This is clearly an x-rated flick as there are several shots with female gentalia.

Summary: Some sex, some laughs, some dizziness. . .
Review: This is a sex movie that doesn't take itself seriously and is not too graphic. It has some funny one liners. Most of the actresses are attractive. That being said, Who the hell thought up the idea of moving the camera in a circle around the sex scene a hundred times in a row? It isn't stop action photography like in the Matrix. That might actually be cool comparatively. This technique is sooo stupid. To all you softcore camera people out there, "Stop doing this!" I don't want to feel like I am on a playground mary-go-round watching people have sex. There are better softcore movies out there.

Summary: moc.
Review: This movie is sooo booty. It's just one of those movies you can watch over and over and over again. It's a fun movie with a pretty good story line. It will entertain the family for years to come. All i got to say is hoop hoop.

Summary: Lives up to expectations
Review: This movie was about what I expected. In some scenes it even exceeded the average soft-core fare. Jacqueline Lovell was entrancing as always.
