Gina Blonde
Although Gina Blonde has looked her finest in other PRIVATE releases, she doesn't look as sexy as she did in like in the Matador series. Anyway, in this scene she's posing for the cameraman. After the shoot ends, they engage in some after-work sex. Although she does anal in this scene, it doesn't come across as ...

Private Chateau Episode II: A Shady Past

Running time: 1:33
Aspect ratio: 16:9 anamorphic widescreen

This single-disc release is the 2nd episode in the Private Chateau trilogy. I gave the 1st episode The Struggle For Power a rating of 4 stars. I hope this is a good continuation of the 1st episode and that it makes me interested to view the finale of the trilogy. However, based on first glance, I note that this episode has 6 sex scenes compared to 8 in the 1st episode and secondly, this release is not a 2-disc affair, which means there is a lack of extras.

Dora Venter, Mya Diamond and Victoria Swinger reprise their roles from the 1st episode and there are some new faces including Gina Blonde being the most notable. Again, I caution the readers that this is a feature and, as a natural extension, the sex scenes are not long in length -- less than 10 minutes each -- and feature multiple cutaways instead of long sustained action in a single position.

The feature presentation
There is a nice 4-minute summary recap of the 1st episode to start us off in case we wanted to follow the storyline. And then we jump right into the 1st sex scene

Sex scene 1 Gina Blonde with a guy:
The scene starts with a guy taking fashion photos of Gina on a moving yacht. After the photo session, they start to engage in sex as the boat owner watches. The action was decent and included some anal in spoon and RCG. Overall, it was an average scene as it came across as overacted. I have no idea how this scene fits into the plot.

A special investigator is brought in to investigate the death of the lawyer, Mr. Torremilans, that ended the 1st episode since it might involve high profile families. And then we jump to the 2nd sex scene

Sex scene 2 Dora Venter & Victoria Swinger with 2 guys:
Dora, the housemaid and mistress to the son, has brought in a stud to train Maria (Victoria), the bride who couldnt fulfill her husbands anal needs during the honeymoon. Dora sticks around and Marias father in-law joins in the fun as a willing participant to improve his daughter in-laws sexual skills. The sex was pretty good as both girls got drilled including Dora getting DPed in cowgirl position.

Marias father confronts his wife, McKenzie Lee, about her luxury whore past and his recent knowledge of her affair with the dead lawyer. The scene shifts to McKenzie seducing her step-daughters father in-law as she recounts her tale of woe with her pending divorce. She promises him a gift.

There is a flashback to 1808 and two guys talking about the Chateau and how it should be used to assist the French government. I got lost listening to the dialogue. Anyway, a girl takes the government official to his room and they get down

Sex scene 3 a girl and 2 guys:
If you like sex with performers dressed in colonial or provincial clothes, then this will float your boat. Otherwise, this was an average scene and this lack of cohesion between the sex action set-ups and the storyline is starting to widen in a horrible manner. There was the standard b/b/g sex action including anal and DP in RCG.

Sex scene 4 a guy and a girl:
Back to current day and McKenzies gift to Marias father in-law appears in the form of a good looking woman wearing a red, slinky dress. He begins fingering her pussy while she is in doggie. He moves his fingers up a hole and 2-fingers her ass. In the meantime, McKenzie has found the encrypted map for the treasure of the golden goat in the father in-laws house and, thus, we realize that she has delivered this sexual gift as a cover for her means. The sex action was a little better than average as she was taking the schlong deep into her ass in various positions. Best sex scene so far.

Marta (Mya Diamond), the Chateaus wine expert, is given control of the Chateau now with McKenzie out of the picture. We then fast forward to the next sex scene.

Sex scene 5 Mya Diamond & McKenzie Lee:
This scene was heavy on the toy usage as Mya was 1st to get dildo action in her pussy and then her ass. There is brief DP action for McKenzie as she works a dildo in her ass as Mya uses one in McKenzies pussy. This was a good scene, from a features perspective.

The investigator runs down the list of possible suspects for the murder of the lawyer. The chief suspect in her mind is Pablo Roca, Mr. Torremilans secretarys ex-boyfriend who has a criminal record and was acquitted of a violent crime. Pablo is arrested soon thereafter.

Sex scene 6 Dora Venter and a guy:
Marias husband is cheating with his mistress again. The sounds of sex emitting from the mistress room can be heard by Maria as she lies in her own bed alone. The sex action was short in length and there ends the movie.

Production values / DVD authoring:
The audio and video qualities as well as the cinematography and accompanying soundtrack were unbelievably good. Bravo on a job well done. The DVD main menu has an option that lets you jump right to any of the 8 sex scenes. Also, the DVD has a language menu where you can pick from any of 8 spoken languages as an overdub for the dialogue.

Noteworthy extra(s):
Making of:
I believe this is the same 20-minute featurette that was contained in Episode I. It consists of interviews with the director, Conrad Son, and some of the cast. However, it is very stylized product and almost too promotional with the dubbed narrative.

Summary:
Episode II of the Chateau trilogy was a disappointment. The sex scenes were a little too brief and there were not enough of them. The advancement of the plot was strained and I had a hard time staying focused as the feature progressed. Ultimately, the sex scenes couldnt elevate this feature presentation, which was burdened with poor acting and a weak script. I cant recommend this as a purchase regardless of my positive review of Episode I. If you liked Episode I and would like to follow the trilogy to completion, then rent it.
