Fem Slave 2

Studio: JM Productions
Director: Mike Ramone
Cast: Aiden Starr, Sasha Knox

Review by: Gram Ponante

Director Mike Ramone, my former editor at AVN, has carved an interesting niche as the director of the "Slave" series, a high-concept day in the life of a group of Masters and slaves, Dommes, Dominants, and submissives that collectively provide the grimmest porn version of this highly ritualized, rule-based lifestyle.

In "Fem Slave 02," we follow evil pixie (she is 4'11") Aiden Starr through her dungeon as she takes fleshy, pink, and vulnerable Sasha Knox through her paces.

Rarely on Planet Earth is there a D/s pairing so attractive as Starr and Knox, and credibility slips a notch further with the relentless gloominess, updated Village People costuming (Starr is both a bottomless nun and a bottomless cop), and Cenobite-friendly soundtrack, but Ramone and Co., once we've suspended our disbelief as expertly as Starr does Knox, deliver an exquisite film about two delicious women playing at power exchange.

Knox spends her nights naked and enclosed in what looks like a giant hanging tea ball. In previous segments of the "Slave" series, audiences got a very intimate view of the proceedings, with just two people on screen. In "Fem Slave 2," the picture is opened up, so we catch glimpses of Starr's support personnel and, occasionally, the flailing feet of another hapless subbie.

One such leather-masked assistant lowers Knox in the teaball for the night's activities, such as getting fucked with a huge black dildo, performing analingus, getting tied up and hung up, penetrated with various objects, and repeatedly reaffirming her worthlessness.

Harsh stuff, and relentless in emphasizing the dynamic over the sex, but the world of the movie (and others in the "Slave" series) is pure and uncomplicated, which is just what those people need.

Starr is a dominatrix when she is not moonlighting in porn or watching SyFy, and Knox recently came out of porn retirement after her stint on "My Bare Lady" and the lonely world of clerical temping. Office work has made her vulnerable, and she, also, is perfectly cast.

While Ramone's days as an editor are over, however, I must take issue with his misspelling of "wont" in the title cards. In the rulebound world of lifestyle BDSM, bitches get slapped for typos.

This movie doesn't quite live up to its title, which director Daniel Dakota hoped would be a couples'-friendly exploration of anal sex. Instead it is a solid gonzo movie with bits of plot in between, like spinach in an otherwise enticing smile. But how can you fault anything with Sativa Rose in it? And Flower Tucci? You can't.

Make Love To My Ass

Studio: Adam & Eve
Director: Daniel Dakota
Cast: Naomi, Flower Tucci, Sasha Knox, Sativa Rose, Kaylynn, Evan Stone, Scott Nails, Jerry, Ben English

Review by Gram Ponante

Mark Stevens (Evan Stone) is the owner of a bikini company and he is obsessed with asses. If this story sounds hauntingly familiar to you of when I got a job at Jagermeister you can see where my lawsuit is headed.

Somehow Stevens offends one of his models, Sasha Knox. Before we can explore this, however (and it is never brought up again), Jim Baller (Scott Nails) meets Kaylynn, who confesses that she likes it "deep in the ass".

"That's what I was thinking," says Nails, and puts it there.

Knox and her husband then have a dispute about their pre-nuptial agreement. "You are in breach of tour contract," she says. She claims that he doesn't eat her ass enough. He reluctantly complies.

Bikini designer Jerry, Mark's employee, then takes measurements of Flower Tucci's ass. He takes them in an unorthodox fashion.

Mark confides in his friend Ben (Ben English, typecast as a Ben Kingsley-style villain). "I'm falling in love with girls' asses," he says.

Ben doesn't care. He is too busy showing off the sex swing in his office to Sativa Rose.

Finally, Stone meets the ass of his dreams, Naomi. Naomi is the type of performer who does not stop moving; she moves up and down as she talks, she tosses her hair around. It was an accomplishment to even pin her down, but Mark does.

This movie was awkward; a hybrid of a feature movie and a gonzo movie that really should have stayed in the gonzo realm and not bothered with a story. When there is a story present, the viewer keeps hoping it will make sense.

But the sex scenes were spot on (I don't know why that phrase sounds dirty in this context, but somehow it does), especially with the ass-tastic Tucci, Naomi, and Sativa Rose.
