The Writer: Volume 2

The two DVD volumes culled from this Spanish miniseries by Alis Locanta run about 6 hours long, amounting to 40-minutes plus per episode. For all that, not much happens, just repetitious sex footage involving a central trio of sex performers and a new femme guest star each week.

I found the second half of the 8-pack incredibly boring, hoping in vain for some real story material or character development to emerge. Instead we have plain Luna in love with both studly Franco and lovely femme Whitney, not really a menage a trois but more a case of polyamory (to use the currently trendy term).

Luna is the title figure, at work at her laptop concocting erotic short stories merely so that we can see the guest lady of the week in action. It's soggy romanticism, with segment titles like "Listen to Me" or "You Belong to Me". Apart from inevitable spats and jealousies, the central trio living in Barcelona plod along unchanged by the sometimes hot sex we home viewers get to see.

The guest beauties are a joy to behold, including such Continental favorites as Cayenne Klein and Amirah Adara, but they are just sex objects from Luna's imagination, not flesh and blood creatures. Making matters worse, Locanta is fond of repeating footage and images ad infinitum, with so many insert shots of Luna masturbating that one feels he is working on that old porn gimmick of Pavlov's Dog, having characters jerk off on screen in hopes that the horny porn fan at home will be stimulated to do likewise.

So far I've enjoyed just one Locanta show, his excellent all-girl opus for Dorcel, while his various Girlfriends Films releases like this one have been underwhelming.
