The execution of this travelogue premise is riddled with poor technical quality, questionable casting, and a poverty of imagination all too typical of XXX. Lynn LeMay is a fine choice for a Beverly Hills co-hostess, and she contributes the best sex scene in either of these volumes, but why Cumisha Amado for Chinatown? And why does she have to do her by-now-tiresome d.p. double dildo anal trick? As far as new faces: Shawn Ricks, as the "other" stud, acquits himself well; Leeann barely displays ass and pussy in Vol. 3.

In Vol. 4 I can only say that Isis Nile, in the fourth video I've seen her, has convinced me her nom de porn should stop with the first syllable ("ice"). Sahara struts around Rodeo Drive in Vol. 3, and does an anal with Sean, while Brittany also cavorts with Sean, making that volume a better bet, but both are plagued by a terrible rumble on the soundtrack and substandard lighting. Neither of these show what we know Michaels can deliver — but market them with the rest of this series anyway, since we have expectations of great improvement.
