Tera Patrick is so pretty she'll make you feel like you've been drinking Willy Wonka's fizzy lifting drinks. You'll become light-headed and your body might do things it wouldn't normally do. Like float upwards. She's just that sexy, though it's much too easy to describe her as "exotic." That's a word, after all, used to advertise imported furniture and ethnic restaurants. So, pick another adjective, but make it a good one; someone who looks the way she does deserves more than pedestrian terms.

Island Fever, her most recent DVD from Digital Playground, is a visual stunner shot in secluded areas of Maui. And though Tera would have been enough, Julia Ann and Briana Banks are also there to show off their bodies and to have sex for your entertainment. Honestly, these are three of the most beautiful women in porn right now, so to have them together in one of the most beautiful locations on Earth is quite an event--an event so important questions are sure to abound.

First thing's first. How hot is the sex?

That's always a hard question to answer. It's all relative to what turns you on, don't you think? If by "hot," however, you mean "nasty," then my answer would be "only mild." This is not a series of outdoor gynecological exams or genital freak shows. Nobody is trying to impress us with how far they can stretch the limitations of their bodies. This falls more into the couples category. Those who love Andrew Blake are likely to love this. "Beauty" and "Sexy" are the words du jour. Still, there's plenty of hardcore--penetrations, cum shots, facials, etc.

Tera Patrick is a goddess. Tell me all about her, starting with her face, then work your way down to her vulva.

You want me to describe a goddess' vulva? I think there might be a commandment against that. At least there should be. Perhaps you'll allow me to get away with describing her performance in this movie, instead. She has three sex scenes, two with Devin Wolf and one with Bobby Vitale in the desert among the sand dunes. She even takes a load on her face, which is noteworthy since this isn't exactly a load on the face kind of movie. And while Tera has shown a willingness to dedicate herself to the cause, porn stars that look like her can get away with doing less if they choose to. Perhaps I'm giving something away about myself, but I've always thought porn is sexy when two people are having sex standing up. I just like those positions, I guess. Tera, with her long legs and wind blown hair really looks good like that, and the director does a good job showing off her entire body instead of just focusing on parts of it in extreme close- ups. That's a wise move, I think. There's nothing on her that needs to be ignored. And nothing is.

Briana Banks? Isn't that the tall pretty girl with the big tits? You know, that girl who fucked Jenna Jameson in her My Plaything DVD.

That's the one. She fucks Bobby Vitale in this movie, and by the way it looks she does a good job. He lasts about ten strokes before pulling out and depositing his load on one of Hawaii's rocky beaches. I can't blame him, really. Briana, while a little artificial looking for my tastes, fits that comic book heroine mold perfectly--long legs, big breasts, dramatic curves. She's got everything a porn superstar should have. Premature ejaculation, in fact, is just a speed bump for Vitale who's into her enough to continue the scene and offer another load after several more positions.

And Julia Ann is in this, too? Please tell me she gets fucked sillier than a Marx Brothers movie.

I guess that depends on the Marx Brothers movie. Duck Soup was awfully silly. Actually, I wouldn't say Julia Ann gets fucked all that hard, or all that silly. Again, this whole DVD is about mood and beauty. If you're looking for some woman's frontal fontanel smacking into a headboard while getting it doggie style, you need to look for a different movie. Still, I don't need unbridled, animalistic sex to enjoy myself, especially when Julia Ann is involved. I actually prefer her to Janine. I just really dig that body type, and I'm a sucker for tattoos around the ankle like that. Really, I think Julia Ann is damn near perfect, despite the fake breasts. Her work here is soft and slow, but beautiful.

Would you rather have sex with Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie or Samantha from Bewitched?

Jeannie.

Hell, yeah! Jeannie's hot!

You know it!

Tera Patrick, Julia Ann, or Briana Banks?

That's a harder choice as none of them have super powers, blink things into existence, or wiggles her nose in a cute and endearing manner. Call me crazy, but I think I'm leaning toward Julia Ann. But I can easily change my mind. Porn can make you a little schizophrenic that way.

I've heard this movie is supposed to look good, visually. What do you think.

Well, it does look good. As I said before, it's visually stunning most of the time. In other places, it's just very pretty. One of the dangers of shooting outdoors with a video camera is that there are all kinds of elements to deal with--water, sand, wind, dirt, etc. Sometimes the camera lens gets a little dusty and the bright sunlight gives some distracting flares, as well. That doesn't happen often, but it was surprising nonetheless. You'd think with as much care as they put into making the rest of the video they'd have used the correct filters, cleaned the lens, or not shot directly into the sun. Still, it looks great; certainly, it's better than most everything else you'll find in porn.

Looking directly at Tera Patrick can be like looking into the sun, as well. What if I'm blinded by her beauty? Will the audio carry me through?

Good question. My only major complaint about the movie is the sound. I'm not saying that the sounds you hear are unclear, I'm saying the sounds they give you aren't the ones you want to be listening to. Not once during the entire feature will you hear a human being. Nobody talks. Nobody grunts. Nobody moans, laughs, or screams. There are no sounds of people having sex, either. Instead, there's a never ending soundtrack of soft music. Think of a long sexy video to easy listening music. I understand why they did it this way; the outdoor settings didn't allow them to pick up natural sounds and the wind played havoc with the microphones. Still, they went through the trouble of making a 5.1 audio mix. I just wished there was sexy audio to go along with the pictures.

What's your favorite Elvis song?

Suspicious Minds.

Tell me about the extras, or as my southern grandmother might say, tell me 'bout them extries.

The audio commentary is great. Tera Patrick has a real fun-loving and outgoing personality. It's easy to look at her pictures and assume she's dark and mysterious, but that couldn't be further from the truth. She likes to laugh and doesn't mind telling embarrassing stories about things that happened during shooting. There's also a behind the scenes feature, too. Watching it, however, might rob you of your fantasies. It's pretty clear that cold water, sandy deserts, and pounding waterfalls are not the most comfortable places in the world to have sex. Personally, you could throw me in Brer Rabbit's briar patch, and as long as any one of these three women were in it with me, I couldn't be happier. A photo gallery is also included, as is a little strip poker game for the PC user.

OK, so this is scenic, soft, sexy porn with beautiful women. I understand that. But what will it do for me? Will it inspire a song or a poem? Or, say, a self inflicted orgasm?

The ancient Greeks had their muses to give them inspiration, and I dare say none of them looked like this. So, take your inspiration where you can get it and inflict away!

Wow what an amazing movie I just watched. I watched it with the commentary on and PLEASE let me recommend highly that you watch the movie with this on or at least part of the time. The commentary by Tera and the director-at least I think it was him, really added to the movie for me. Let me say that I learned more about Tera Patrick than I had known before and I like her even more now if that is possible. Let me just say you will learn a great deal about this stunning beauty. Let me give a brief description about the scenes in the film and add some of the very interesting points Tera included...
