Paradise Island is my second viewing of a Shane’s World DVD. While similar in theme, I found this documentary styled porn a little bit more enjoyable than the other. This time we are on a party themed vacation on an Island in the Bahamas. Our cast features Tori Black, Brooklyn Lee and Vanessa Cage; who are all stunning ladies. And they have enlisted Johnny Castle and Michael Vegas to be their male counterparts for this island party. I am happy to note that all of the actors are very charming and do not making any terribly offensive statements even in their drunken stupors.

Much like the other, we start this DVD in an airport, we get a chance to meet the crew and ease into how beautiful their home for the next few days is. Vanessa Cage is celebrating her 19th birthday during the course of this; it becomes a running theme in conversation. They play at the pool and then get their grocery shopping out of the way so they can keep their energy high for this trip. I was shocked to hear they spent 7000 dollars in groceries, but I didn’t linger on this thought too long. In true tourist form they get lost on their return home but manage to get home safely and start the party.

The first sex scene starts as a make out session in the pool with the birthday girl and Michael Vegas, they move to the bedroom quickly into it. My one complaint with a rather long sex scene, though not the obvious vanilla sex is that her moans seem really forced and loud. The other girls make a comment on how she kept them up later the next morning. While I won’t tell you play by play, I will tell you there are various positions and a lot of joking banter. There is no actual anal in this movie but a lot of butt hole licking and even some digits entered.

Partying seems to be the main focus of this film, which is rather unneeded as a porn but fun if you take it as a documentary filming how the industry works. In between almost every sex scene, is a party one with dancing, and a ton of drinking. The guys take a rather relaxed state to all the partying but still join in on the fun. All of the cast mates seem really genuine and sweet so it is easy to take the film as it is. I like that they can poke fun at each other while not taking it too seriously or without being catty.

After another scene at the bar, one that included puking I might add, we go back to the hotel for our next sex scene. Tori Black are cover girl, and Johnny Castle go at it poolside in the most awesome piece of furniture I have ever seen. Seriously where do I buy myself a giant apple/egg pillow bed?!! The sex is more of the same, basic, nothing out of the ordinary, but doesn’t seem as forced as the last.

Finally the birthday girl’s day arrives; they have a celebration, but don’t dwell on it. The same day we get some live action footage of the picture they used for the cover, and Tori couldn’t look more stunning if she tried. Also Brooklyn Lee finally gets in on the action with a sex scene on the beach. I must admit I was distracted by all her jewelry, but her gorgeous body made me forget after awhile. Some really sandy sex later, we go back on the high seas for some boat sex.
Tori Black has her way with Michael Vegas while everyone watches awkwardly from afar. But not for long because Johnny Castle and Vanessa get up close for the action, and for one hopeful second you believe they might join in, but they don’t. Thus making this a very weird scene to watch---stop watching guys, let us enjoy!!!

At a bar they found at the side of the road, picked randomly, the next scene starts with Brooklyn Lee and Michael Vegas. The owner agreed to let them film if he got to watch and they ordered some chicken fingers, adding a funny commentary to the setting of this. This leaves us with the final scene of the night, but not before some fun picture posing at the airport.

Though this is listed as a collector’s edition, it really doesn’t have all the works you’d expect from a name. In the DVD extras we get some deleted scenes and some fun cast interviews. I was really hoping for more and kind of hold it against them a bit.

Over all, I did enjoy this film as a new way of viewing porn. The quality of the camera shots were really nicely done, the tone and color of the film was on key. I find this important especially during outdoors scenes, it can be really easy to get everything washed out and too bright to see. They seemed to have a got a grip on their sound mixing as well with this one, there is no mic crackling and everyone is pretty audible. I can’t say I was a huge fan of the music choices but who watches a porn film for the music selection. I could have done without the talking scenes had I just viewed this for pleasure, but watching it as a documentary the time flew by. The cast was lovely, the sex was mediocre but it was a fun movie. My biggest qualm being the collector’s edition title being disappointing, and at the end of the day that is something I can live with. I can easily watch another Shane’s World DVD if it is more like this one and less like the other.
