SOFTCORE FILMS

HIDDEN TREASURES

This 2013 film from Mainline Releasing/MRG Entertainment was written by Tina Hawthorne and directed by David Ashton. Of the film’s six-member main cast, 5 of them were hardcore adult film stars. So at least you know you’re going to get some hot sex scenes. **Spoilers Ahead** Michelle Maylene stars as Elizabeth Pierce, whose father, Richard, recently passed away. Richard was a wealthy businessman, and Elizabeth inherited his large mansion with an extensive garden of special plants, which was a hobby of his. Michelle lives in the mansion with her father’s longtime gardener, Jackson (Chad White), who is also her lover, although they don’t appear to be an official couple. Seth Gamble and Ryan McLane play Mason and Chris, Elizabeth’s former roommates from college, who she invites to come to her mansion for the weekend. Sadie Katz plays Mason’s girlfriend Cat and Alyssa Branch is Chris’ girlfriend Rachel. Both ladies are extremely jealous of their boyfriend’s friendships with Elizabeth, each suspecting that there was more going on between them back in college, although each man denies it. Cat was with Mason when he got Elizabeth’s phone call, and despite her complaints, he convinced her to go with him, Chris just doesn’t tell Rachel that they’re going to Elizabeth’s place; she thinks it’s just a little vacation, and she’s ready to leave as soon as they get there and she realizes who’s house it is. But Elizabeth herself convinces Rachel to stay. But then we find out very quickly that something is going on between Elizabeth and Chris. In one of those classic “only-in-softcore” scenarios, the two of them have sex in the upstairs bedroom while everyone else is waiting for them in the downstairs living room. Sure, that’s not risky at all. Anyway, when Elizabeth and Chris join the rest downstairs, Elizabeth reveals the reason for asking everyone to come. Her father died of a sudden unexpected heart attack. She recently found out that he father had taken something out of his safety deposit box and hid whatever it was in the house, but died before he could tell her where it was. Whatever it is, it’s probably valuable. She needs them because otherwise, she could lose the mansion. Mason is an architect, so Elizabeth wants him to look over the blueprints of the Mansion to see if he can figure out if there are any areas she hasn’t looked into yet, while she wants Chris to help her look through her father’s papers, to see if he can get a clue about what he was thinking, or something. The men get to work while Cat and Rachel go exploring the garden. It turns out that Cat is a botanist, so she’s really interested in all of the plants in the garden, and they meet with Jackson. Much is made of the fact that some of the plants in the garden can be poisonous if handled incorrectly. But being the botany expert that she is, Cat isn’t worried. The first day turns out fruitless. They eventually figure out that the hidden object is a group of rare, expensive gems that Richard bought, trusting them as an asset more than buying stocks, but they still don’t know where they’re hidden. But then, during dinner that night, Rachel (who is a journalist) says she looked into Richard’s history and makes an implication that Elizabeth had a reason to want him dead, which leads to an argument and both women storming off. The next day, Rachel and Chris leave, but before they go, Rachel tells Cat that the autopsy of Richard found traces of some kind of plant poison in his system, which Cat finds suspicious because a plant expert like Richard should’ve known what to avoid. Cat goes back inside and sees Michelle and Mason having sex in the middle of the living room (again, only in softcore). She secretly watches for a while but then quietly goes to her room to pack her things and leave. Sitting outside in the garden looking sad, Jackson finds her, and she suggests some “rebound sex,” which he happily obliges. Afterward, Cat confronts Jackson about the poison, which he denies any knowledge of. She does some searching and finds it, and then calls the cops, who arrive just as Michelle and Mason are celebrating finding the gems. The cops take Michelle in for questioning about her father’s death, Cat dumps Mason, and the movie ends with her and Jackson alone in the house to…live happily ever after, I guess? Kind of a lame ending to a lightweight story. There was potential there, this could have either been a clever scavenger hunt or a Who Done It murder mystery, instead, it just feels like a bunch of sex scenes stitched together with some wanna dramatic dialog scenes in between. But, like I said in the beginning, the sex scenes are scorching hot. In particular, if you’re a fan of Michelle Maylene and Sadie Katz, this should be a FIVE STAR film for you. Michelle has two scenes with Chad White and then one each with Ryan McLane and Seth Gamble, while Sadie has two scenes with Seth and one with Chad. So it’s a decent batch of the thing we all mainly watch softcore for. I was impressed with Sadie’s scenes, as she’s the only mainstream actor in this film, yet she holds her own with Michelle, a hardcore performer. It’s odd that Alyssa Branch doesn’t have any sex scenes. She and Ryan should’ve at least had one together, as they were playing a couple, but I’m happy enough with the scenes we got. It’s not a classic, but it’s worth a watch. Chacebook rating: FOUR STARS Jason Majercik is selling this UNRATED DVD for $19.99. Email him at quinn_nash@hotmail.com for his softcore inventory list

  1. I’m surprised they didn’t release the uncensored of this one cause you could blatantly tell they were fucking. Like didn’t even bother hiding it that much with the edit.
