Synopsis

This is the first volume of Chris Zeeman’s Limelight Girls series, which pairs up and coming starlets with, well, Chris. Limelight Productions is based in Las Vegas and while new they have attracted quite a bit of publicity. I’m interested to see how Zeeman (who stars, directs, and produces the material as well as being president of the production company) stacks up with some of the other, more established pro-am series.

What's Hot

Lilly Thai - Not only is Lilly fucking hot but she doesn’t even need a guy to help her light up the screen. If you like squirting at all you’ll like this scene.

Alexis Amore – While her scene wasn’t perfect Alexis sure does look good. Plain and simple its fun to watch this girl get boned.

Technical – For being the first in a series this DVD was very well produced. There are only a couple of minor kinks to work out in future volumes. Picture and audio quality were generally spot on and the lighting was near perfect.

What's Not

Weak scene with Monika Star – This is not completely Monika’s fault (although she generated no heat herself) but this scene had very ordinary sex and in not very many positions.

Only one guy – Of the 4 scenes with male talent it was Chris every time. This is fine but the risk here is that the scenes will become too much alike. With no anal scenes anywhere they all seemed to run together a bit, with the exception of Lilly’s because she was solo. This will be a bigger problem going forward as the series must be kept fresh to keep people buying. If it is just Chris and some starlet having traditional sex each and every scene it will get old real fast.

Play By Play

Below are brief scene descriptions of the content on this disc.

  Scene 1 – Kelani with one guy (Chris Zeeman)

Kelana starts the movie off, fully dressed as she visits her neighbor’s apartment. Kelana is a decent looking Asian with very long (to the top of her butt) straight black hair. She admires her neighbor’s bed, climbs on, and gets comfortable. Kelana takes off her jacket and jeans to reveal a red mesh half top and matching red panties. She invites her neighbor onto the bed and to his credit he doesn’t have to think twice.

The guy in four scenes of this movie (Zeeman) is very hairy. I mean really hairy. Despite the hair he seems to know what he’s doing, especially with his tongue as he proves next. After getting on the bed he and Kelana engage in a long (7+ minute) pussy licking scene. Excellent roving camera work in this scene as the focus shifts between Kelana’s face and the action at her pussy. Chris uses first one and then two fingers to complement his tongue and brings Kelana to a very authentic looking orgasm. After she settles down he twice touches his tongue to her pussy and both times she spasms like she got an electric shock. The scene cuts to them with their positions reversed, him on his back with her working on him orally. A few minutes of this and then the scene cuts again to Kelana on her back being entered in the missionary position. Cut again to Kelana mounting cowgirl. In this position we can see a tattoo in the small of her back. Cut to reverse cowgirl for a few minutes, then back to missionary with one of her legs up. After a minute of this the neighbor moves up to her face and gives her his load on her tongue and chin.

Overall this was a little bit of a slow start to the movie. Kelana looks OK but the scene lacks heat with the exception of when she orgasms after the oral. The scene wasn’t particularly intense but the female orgasm and nice cumshot give it some raincoat points. Overall the camera work and picture clarity were excellent with the exception of just a few instances where the camera was slightly out of focus for a second or two. The sound was excellent and recording during the making of the scene and not dubbed to match. (21 minutes)

  Scene 2 – Alexis Amore with one guy (Chris Zeeman)

Alexis Amore is up next and the scene jumps right into her masturbating on a bed. Alexis is wearing nothing but a thin white top. She has tattoos on her right ankle, right below her bellybutton, high on her right butt cheek, and on the back of her neck. She has her pussy, her bellybutton, and both nipples pierced. Despite these (in my opinion) negatives she looks fantastic. She is Peruvian (born in Lima, Peru but has lived in the US since she was 9) and very curvy with big lips that look like they were made for blowjobs. Soon her boyfriend (Chris Zeeman) comes home and they go to work.

The next four minutes of the scene Alexis proves that, yes, those lips were made for blowjobs. Cut to Alexis on her back and the guy returning the favor by licking her pussy. Like the last scene he has his lady squirming on the bed, although not to orgasm this time. Camera work is again good and we can see how well Alexis’ bright pink pussy contrasts with her dark pussy lips. Cut to Alexis mounting him cowgirl style. He lets her do most of the work in this position. She turns around to reverse cowgirl and now he does the work. The intensity starts to pick up as bit as he starts to fuck her fairly vigorously in the middle of this part of the scene. She leans forward and he climbs out and then enters her doggy style. Cut to a long (too long) missionary sequence. Scene ends with Chris cumming on Alexis’ chin. Pretty good volume.

This scene is a slight improvement over the previous one. Alexis looks great although her bad boob job is very noticeable in this scene (right breast is oddly shaped). It’s a shame because she really is a good looking woman. While I haven’t seen her pre-operation it doesn’t look like she would have needed any more size: she is currently somewhere between “very large” and “massive”. Picture quality and sound were generally top notch although again there were a few seconds where the camera was slightly out of focus. (21 minutes)

  Scene 3 – Lilly Thai (solo)

Exotic looking Lilly Thai is up next. Lilly is absolutely smoking in all white to start the scene. She has on a sheer white top with matching panties as well as long white socks and white stripper heels. She has a large tattoo between her shoulder blades and both nipples pierced. Lilly strips out of her clothes (but not her socks or heels) and masturbates for us. Some good close-ups as she spreads her meaty pussy lips and shows us what’s inside.

As the scene progresses Lilly asks for her toy, which turns out to be a pink vibrator that she uses to massage her clit. Almost immediately she squirts on the bed sheets. Not just a little but quite a lot! The scene continues and she squirts no less than 4 more times in the next 5 minutes, some of them for impressive distances.

This scene is the shortest in the movie and there really isn’t much to it other than Lilly stripping, masturbating, and then squirting. Lots of smiling and giggling in the first half of the scene, something I wish there was more of from actresses these days. Lilly has flawless skin and a very attractive pussy which she displays in all its glory. The squirting is an acquired taste but I like it. I’m definitely going to be looking for more of Lilly in the future and I can’t wait to see her in a scene with a dick to play with instead of just a sex toy. (19 minutes)

  Scene 4 – Monika Star with one guy (Chris Zeeman)

Monika Star is an older (late 20s I’d guess) blonde who now goes by the name of Karina. She starts this scene off by stopping by Chris’ place on her lunch hour. He asks her if she wants anything to eat but she declines, saying she has something else in mind. He leads her upstairs but they only get to the first landing before the action starts. Monika is wearing a dark jeans skirt (with no panties) and a white top. She drops to her knees and starts to suck Chris off. Her shirt comes up to expose large, enhanced breasts.

After a few minutes of quality oral the two continue up the stairs. Monika bends over against a couch and the guy licks and fingers her pussy from behind. Cut to Monika on her back on the couch for another long oral sequence. Zeeman uses his fingers in both Monika’s pussy and ass. Cut to Zeeman entering Monika in the missionary position on the couch. Cut to missionary on the floor for 5 minutes. Cut to missionary on the bed. Weak facial with the camera too far away.

Not a very impressive scene. Monika looked OK (especially if you like busty blondes) but generated little or no heat. The best thing she did in this scene was the blowjob she gave early on. Chris’ pussy licking was again good but lasted way too long. The actual sex did not start until 2/3rds of the way through the scene. Finally there was almost no variety at all in the sex, just missionary position. (21 minutes)

  Scene 5 – Morgan March with one guy (Chris Zeeman)

The final scene starts with Chris at home in bed, supposedly sick. Morgan enters and says she was sent by the hospital to make sure he was feeling better. Morgan is dressed in a nurse themed bikini with white stockings. She climbs onto the bed Chris is in and starts taking off her outfit. She’s a small and young looking lass with dyed-blonde hair complete with red streaks. She has a slender body with small boobs and a tattoo of a 4-leaf clover with the words “Lucky U” just above and to the left of her pussy.

Morgan pulls back the covers and goes to work on Chris’ dick. She gives a good effort but isn’t comfortable taking it very deep. After a bit the scene cuts to Chris performing oral on Morgan. He does his usual bang-up job. Morgan closes her eyes to enjoy what she is getting. After a few minutes the two start screwing in the missionary position. He has her turn over so he can give doggy style a try. Cut to reverse cowgirl. Cut back to missionary for a couple more minutes before Chris lands an excellent facial to finish the scene. Great coverage across her mouth (closed), chin, nose, and left eye.

Morgan looks very young and inexperienced in this scene. Instead of a nurse it would probably be more believable if she was Chris’ daughter’s friend or something like that. There was much more variety in the positions during this scene than in the last. Raincoat points for a very nice facial to finish the movie. (20 minutes)

Everything Else

The disc also contains 2:22 minutes of stills (approximately 18-20 pictures) and a 6:06 minute Behind the Scenes segment. The BTS is split into 3 parts: about 90 seconds of an Alexis Amore photo shoot, about 80 seconds of Kelana in the shower after her scene, and about 3:00 minutes of Monika Star being interviewed. Monika tells us she is from Finland and then engages in the usual small talk about her favorite sexual positions, how she feels being on camera, etc. Kelana’s shower was the most interesting thing for me as she looked cuter here than in her scene. She claims she had 3 orgasms during the scene. She also gives us a good look at her ying/yang tattoo that is on the small of her back.

Last Word

Overall this was a solid first effort from Limelight Productions. They had two good scenes (Lilly and Alexis), two OK scenes (Kelana and Morgan) and one disappointing one (Monika). The two good scenes were good enough to make me want to check out later volumes of the series.

I am curious to see if Limelight will be able to keep this series fresh and interesting as it continues. So many of the pro-ams out there today have gone stale. It would be a shame for Limelight to fall into the same trap after a promising beginning. They need to keep recruiting top notch talent and perhaps push the envelope a little bit with the sex to generate just a little more heat.

I have to give a lot of credit to Limelight as this DVD was produced like it was the latest in a long line of titles instead of the first. There seems to be almost no learning curve at all as the picture and audio were excellent. There was just a small problem with the camera occasionally losing focus as it zoomed in or out, but that really was minor and easily corrected in the future.
