This final film of the Emmanuelle Through Time series revisits some top moments of the series and gives us a different take on them. One of the highlights is a sequence where current Emmanuelle Allie Haze (billed as Brittany Joy) sees clips of other Emmanuelles, such as Krista Allen, Sylvia Kristel, Holly Sampson and Natasja Vermeer.

This 2001 flick is a step above the usual MRG late night movie, but it's just as hot. Holly Sampson is nude in two scenes, before she gets thrown off a balcony, and Shannon Tweed has a pretty good nude body double for her scene. Flower Edwards is a stripper, and Katie Lohmann is another topless murder victim. Look for two hot sex scenes with Nancy Vee and Mary Shannon.

Season One, Episode 3. Callers into a radio talk show describe their most incredible sexual experiences in this Skinimax anthology series. Starring Angela Davies.


A man calls into the show to complain how his constant fantasies about the women he sees are undermining his sex life with his girlfriend, but in the end his problem is solved by her bringing a girl home to share. Stars Holly Sampson, Wendy Devine and Isabella.

AKA: Sexual Witchcraft. In the latest from softcore comedy master Fred Olen Ray, a litte witchcraft helps a woman and her husband advance their cosmetics business. FOR regular Christine Nguyen is in fine form here, and it's nice to see an appear from a MILFy Holly Joy Sampson. But the highpoint for me was the always sexy Michelle Maylene, of Co-Ed Confidential doing another softcore flick.

aka Lady Chatterley's Daughter This softcore flick has no relation to the earlier erotic classic, or D.H. Lawrence's book, actually. It's about a haunted journal that turns Holly Sampson and her best friend into horny sex fiends, by conjuring a hot ghost in the form of Jessie Lunderby. You may remember Jessie as the hot Arkansas sheriff's deputy, who was fired from her job after posing for Playboy. Hard to believe they ever let someone this hot work anywhere near a jail!

No question the scenes in this flick are hot and Holly has moved into a nice, MILF stage of her career, but I thought she was hotter before the implants. Also stars Vanessa Blank.

Silliness about women scheming against each other to rise to the top in the advertising world. The whole thing is very, very silly with bad acting and a worse script. However, the sex scenes, directed by John Quinn (Beauty Betrayed, Girl For Girl) are first rate. How could they not be with women like Holly Sampson, Angela Davies and Sasha Peralto? When you order this flick, make sure you go for the unrated version.

Episode 10. In this episode a woman (Holly Sampson) comes to see Belle (Kim Dawson) because she suspects her husband is cheating and Belle teaches her that if you can't beat 'me, join 'em. Belle even takes a hands on role, teaching Holly all about pleasure. The sex scene with Sampson and Dawson will have you popping your cork in no time. Anything with Holly Sampson gets five stars in my book!

Episode 11. When Felicia (Lauren Hayes) assigns her an article titled A Day In The Life Of A Rock And Roll Groupie featuring a band she had previously panned, Cheryl (Holly Sampson) gets in the spirit of the task. Aside from great scenes of Lauren and Holly, this episode also features Julie Meadows, Sara Ashlyn and Lindsay Keller.

An excellent softcore series originally broadcast on Showtime back at the turn of the century, Lady Chatterley's Stories features Shauna O'Brien as the title character, here re-imagined as a land broker that spends her evenings counseling friends' and acquaintances' sex lives. As with all of the late-night cable series from the 90's and early 2000's, there's a lot of storytelling that leads to some nice, soft-lit coupling between gorgeous women and hunky guys, although here pornstar Rebecca Lord - acting as the series's director - manages to turn up the heat more than some other shows did.

The episode entitiled The Wager feels almost like a pilot episode due to the presense of Chloe Nicholle as Lady Chatterley instead of series star Shuana O'Brien. While Chloe doesn't get in any intimate scenes, her fine co-stars do in this story about a roguish visitor to Ms. Chatterley's estate who seems to always get what he wants. Starring Julia Kruis, Holly Sampson and the fit, gorgeous Samm Kroft. Croft here is credited as Yvette Faulkner, and in this episode made her acting debut in erotic movies, a genre that benefited not only from her acting talents, but also her skills as a writer!

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.

Another in the ever-growing list of Mainline Releasing Group's (MRG) repackaged "compilation videos," Young Girls Do is a curiously titled slice of erotica featuring porn gals Syren and Jordan Styles as narrators of spicy tales culled from the vaults of late-night Skinemax. There's no real story to speak of, just Styles, Syren and their respective boyfriends playing strip poker and recounting saucy stories featuring a wide variety of softcore's most-loved actresses. As 85% of the cutaway segments are taken from the 90's cable program Nightcap (with the remaining 20% culled from episodes of The Best Sex Ever), you're correct if you guessed you'd see a whole lot of Tane McClure, Brandy Davis, and Nikki Fritz. What's nice is the producers were kind enough to include Fritz's terrific "pig tails" scene from Nightcap - always a fine bit of erotica to revisit!

Also including among the long, long line of actresses featured in this collection are such greats as Chloe Nicole, Julie Kruis (with nipple ring in!), Holly Sampson and the positively gorgeous redhead Regina Russell. Porn star Maya Divine (Wendy Devine) makes an appearance as well, as does a lithe, athletic looking porn vet named Isabella(aka Veronika).

Many fans begrudge MRG for not simply producing new work and constantly culling from the archives, but for others, movies like Young Girls Do mix the current mode of production (really cheap with porno chicks) with the better methods from "back in the day" (ie: not nearly as cheap with porno chicks that could actually act!). The result is often humorous because the scenes from the old shows are so much better produced, that the new stuff just comes off looking shoddy. That said, Syren and Jordan Styles grind their way to ecstasy with aplomb, so fans of "the new school" aren't feeling unattended to.

Great? No. Worthy of your time? Perhaps. It depends on your love for the genre as many softcore fans will enjoy this stroll down memory lane.

In director Madison Monroe's slick erotic thriller, seductive threesome Monique (Holly Sampson), Gabrielle (Nicole Hilbig) and Dane (Kyle Kleefeld) live the high life -- by swindling the wealthy and powerful. But their latest target, a handsome jewelry dealer (played by Craig Stepp), doesn't intend to get flimflammed and may turn the tables on the trio when one of the grifters falls for their mark.

Distributed by the Alexander Institute, a group that produces "instructional and erotic programs for lovers who desire incredible sex" and executive producer Richard Gabai, a veteran b-movie and exploitation film actor, director and producer who recently had broke into mainstream filmmaking, Voyeur is cast to the gills with almost every excellent softcore actress you can think of. The women, thusly, are deliriously good-looking, the love scenes are extremely hot and well-acted and often the story lines are pretty interesting, albeit brief.

In Three's Company, one of softcore's most well-liked actresses, the beautiful Holly Sampson persuades her husband to seduce their purportedly sexually inexperienced friend (played by porn vet Alana Evans. Much to their surprise, the friend may not have much first-hand experience, but she sure knows exactly how to do what needs to be done so that everyone has a very satisfying time. This episode can be found on Voyeur: Switching Partners, which is Volume 3 of the collected series on DVD.

Pornstar-cum-director Madison Monroe gets behind the camera again in this softcore take-off of the THomas Crown Affair that's sure to satisfy fans of Amber Newman and CC Costigan. Costigan plays the femme-fatale of the title, a sexually unsaitisfied lass who only seems to get her rocks off when she watches a couple she pays (the female half of which is Amber Newman) go to town. Ah yes, but Ms. Pierce is also a notorious cat burglar and con woman, and she has her eyes set on a rare collection which she deems will be the final score of her career. Enter Costigan's on-again off-again real life husband Brian Heidik as a cop who is alternately attracted to Ms. Pierce's "assets" and to the idea of nabbing her in the act.

The girls, of course, look terrific in this Surrender Cinema production, and Newman has arguably her best softcore couplings ever. Alas, Holly Sampson and Costigan set off some fireworks themselves, specifically Costigan in a nine-and-a-half minuite sex scene with Heidik that makes good on several scenes of topless teasing before it.

While not a terribly absorbing plot, Regina Pierec does do more to make you think in between the sex scenes than most movies in the genre, and the camerawork, lighting, editing and direction are all superb, with most of the movie being shot with a constantly (and artfully) roaming steadicam. This is a highly recommended gem of couples' erotica.

Emmanuelle travels around the globe helping her friends: a Morraccan Sultan, a technology wizard in Japan, and a corporate industrialist in the middle of nowhere. Each needs the special talents only Emmanuelle can provide in both business and pleasure. Another one in the Holly Sampson series of Emmanuelle movies. This one, like the others, features about 70% nudity, which is basically what these movies are about. Mediocre softcore, with some great nudity from Holly and Gabriella Hall.

The title of this 2001 comedy is also a fair description. It's not a great movie, and it has a tendency to stray into dumbness, but all in all it's pretty cool, especially on the nudity front.

Scientists develop a technique that allows them to give a person the ability to read minds and control thoughts. Due to a computer oopsie, these powers are accidentally transferred to a high school geek.

Without a clue, our geek manages to turn this golden opportunity into something of a mess, but in the process, he gets plenty of lovely young women naked, so it's not a total loss.

Sure, it's been done before, and it's kind of lame, but it's still a cute comedy that provides an excuse to show lots of skin which, with skinmeister Alain Siritzky as the producer, is not unexpected.

Angela is a mysterious blonde with a special mission: to bring together separated lovers. Join her as she helps a shy woman open up to her attractive boss, a man express his love to his brother's fiancee, and a movie editor in love with a young starlet.

Holly Sampson plays a clever burgler who first gets her victims to fall for her before she makes off with their loot, aided by her male partner who is busy scalping Nicole Hilbig. Eventually though Holly falls for Mr Right and looks for one big score to retire. A run of the mill 3 stars.

Two couples, both of them cheating with each other's spouses, only problem is that only one set of spouses knows. Kelli Mc Carty helps frame her husband for her lover's wife's (Holly Sampson) murder. If that sounds convoluted, try watching this turkey. Only Mc Carty and the lithesome Sampson make it worthwhile.

Holly Sampson stars as the thrill-seeking Emmanuelle in this erotic adventure that finds the temptress taking it easy on a tropical island...until she accidentally comes across a mysterious device that gives her the ability to inhabit the minds and bodies of other people. Shauna O'Brien, Lyle Skosey co-star. Unrated version; 85 min.
