Masterpiece

Synopsis:Tabitha Stevens plays an up and cummin' artist that scores big with one of her
productions. She catches they eye and more of a wealthy art collector. He makes her an
offer she can't refuse. But is his offer all she thought it was. Stay tuned for the details on
this erotic flick from Digital Playground..

Features: This disc features Behind The Scenes Photos, 5:1 Surround Sound, A Slide Show,
Full Motion Chapter SEarch, No Regional Coding and Strip BlackJack (DVD-ROM Only).

Commentary: It seems that Tabitha's friend's dad (Zane) is an artist. When she meets
him, circumstances quickly allow for him to paint her tits and east her pussy. Oh, by the
way, this is an "art" film so don't be surprised when it flicks back and forth between black
and white and color. Anyway, after the tittie paint is applied a little pussy eating is required.
Make that great pussy eating as this scene features some awesome cunnilingus that offers
up some amazing moaning and groaning from both participants. They moan in concert with
each other, very cool. The moaning continues as she fellates his flesh brush. They do some
doggy and other style screwing before he shoots his white oil based paint all over her. It's a
very slow, sensual scene that works.

Tabitha begins her next painting by rolling around naked on the canvas (hey, can my
face be a canvas?). Her friends fuck in front of her to give her some inspiration. Lots of sex
and lots of groans in this bareback segment. I lost track of who was doing who, but it was
still very enjoyable to watch. Again, the film goes back and forth between color and black
and white but the sex stays full in your face so who cares. In the gallery opening scene, 2
very hot naked chicks paint each other in front of the audience. They move on to kissing
and clit licking. The crowd doesn't seem to enjoy it, too stuck up, buy it will make you stick
up so screw them.

A wealthy art collector offers Tabitha 1 million dollars to paint for him for a year. She
tires to call friends to get their advice but they are all too busy. That includes Zane, who's
busy painting a couple fucking for him. This scene offers some great oral with real tight close
ups that will have you licking your lips as the guy in the scene licks that fully engorged clit
looking straight at him. Next, they do some awesome bareback screwing which also features
great close ups of her large clit taking it on the, uh ,chin. This scene really rocks.

Tabitha agrees to work for the rich guy for a cool 2 million and they seal the deal as she
seals her lips around the guy's mighty member. She fellates him for some time and with great
vigor before he slides into her doggy style. They play with a variety of positions before he
shoots all over her completely shaved slit. A very nice moment.

At the end, the collector takes her to the room she'll be staying in and where, with a
surprise twist, the door slams shut behind her and locks. It seems as if his collection just got
one more masterpiece!

This one will work as a flick to watch alone or with that someone special. It's erotic and
the music is soothing.

From a DVD perspective: Image quality and sound quality were both excellent throughout.
The DVD extras left a bit to be desired although the full motion chapter search was very
inclusive and helpful.

Intangibles: Crystal clear clit close ups earn this a bonus star and a ruler.

Commentary:

This was the first DVD I had the pleasure of watching that starred Tabitha Stevens. She is a beautiful girl with a perfect body. Her boobs are big but it looks like she had one to many boob jobs. They just don't look natural, but what can you expect with a pornstar. This film incorporates a Twilight Zone type feel and ending. I never expected the story to end up the way it did. I figured it would be just another predictable porno ending.

Tabitha plays a girl that has moved to LA and has one ambition to get rich. Her character is very promiscuous and right off the bat moves in on Zane an artist who she meets through her best friend. That night Tabitha and Zane get naked and paint each other's bodies then have sex on a tarp. Tabitha gives him a nice blowjob and the sex is average. The next morning Zanes buyer comes over and offers Tabitha $10,000 for the paint and cum covered tarp.

This sparks Tabitha's art career and quest for riches. In her next show we get to watch living art as Charlie and Raylene paint each other then have sex. This has to be the hottest scene of the film. Both these girls are irresistible in every way. They slowly paint each other then go at one another in some hot- ass lesbian action. It is evident that these girls enjoyed shooting this scene especially when they started grinding each other.

The last scene of mention starts when Tabitha wants to show Hershal Savage, a rich art collector, what she is worth. She gives him one hell of a blowjob. They then proceed to have some mellow, low key sex. Not of that bouncing off the wall kind of sex. The camera work in this scene was exceptional. The camera cuts to many different angles of the sex.

Overall this was an enjoyable sex filled porno. The ending has a relieving twist that is not common to pornos. The beautiful Tabitha Stevens does an excellent job as the leading role. Although the sex is not hardcore I would recommend this as an excellent couples DVD.

The Disc:

The video quality of this DVD is average. The digital pixels are very evident especially the black and white slow scenes. Digital Playground did and superb job of bringing this master up to DVD quality. The sound quality and mix is exceptional. Features include chapter selection and a photo gallery.

A 1998 Cash Markman vid about arty beachside bohemian types. Lotsa paint-covered bodies, including Charlie and Raylene doing a paint-spattered g/g at a gallery as "living art." Cast includes the now-seldom-seen Morgan Fairlane and Alex Dane, plus Tabitha Stevens.

Low-contrast video, standard for plot-driven vids, faithfully reproduced. Only extras are seven numbered chapter stops and a 20-picture self-serve picture gallery.

Tabitha Stevens plays a bitchy little gold digger who uses her sexuality to make some money. She is tested in how far she would go by a wealth art collector. Well that's what the plot is suppose to be, but with really bad acting the plot somehow gets lost. Like with most fuck films the plot is not the best, but then what makes this film worth watching is not so much the plot but rather fucking. Tabitha Stevens may not be the best actress, but she's not the worst and when it comes to her love scenes she deserves high marks. Both of her fuck scenes are pretty damn good. Also, the other scenes are sold with a nice girl on girl scene. The great think about DVDs is that when you don't like the dialog its easy to just skip it and move right into the action.
Video
The video to DVD transfer is good, but the editing could use some help. Not the worst editing job I have ever seen and it was only a little distracting.
Audio
The sound was clear which is good because I like to hear my dirty talking.
Supplements
The supplements are standard with nothing extra.
Conclusion
Not the worst fuck film I have ever seen and there was some pretty good fuck scenes. It was fun watching Tabitha Stevens be so bitchy and shallow. So if you are looking for a DVD to add to your collection try Masterpiece, but remember it will not be the prize of you collection.

In Masterpiece, Tabitha Stevens plays an artist who uses her sexuality to connive, to create, to sell...all in pursuit of the almighty dollar. This feature boasts strong sexual performances.

As is standard for Digital Playground, this DVD features 5.1-channel surround sound, chapter stops, and production stills with slide-show function; they're also all-region compatible, and support parental lock-out. A game of strip blackjack is accessible to those with a personal computer equipped with a DVD-ROM drive.

On this disc, pixelation is noticeable in darker scenes, in areas of low contrast, and during dissolves, fade-ins and -outs. I was about to bust Digital Playground for what I perceived as a lack of effort on their part. But then I discovered something critical: This disc is encoded at a fairly high bit-rate. Some scenes average between 6-8 Mbps, and occasionally peak around 9 Mbps-quite close to the 10 Mbps threshold of current DVD players. Higher bit-rates like these generally translate into excellent picture and sound; obviously, Digital Playground was making an attempt to deliver genuine quality with this disc.

So why the pixelation? This is most likely an encoding issue, as MPEG-2 encoding, which DVD utilizes, is something of an art as well as a science. And paying a person to sit at a computer and tweak individual frames of your film or video is cost-prohibitive. Mainstream manufacturers do it as a matter of course; most adult manufacturers do it on a limited basis or not at all-some because they don't know, others because they don't care, and still others because they simply can't afford it. I'm not excusing the pixelation-but I'm not going to totally rip someone who's at least trying to get it right.
