Hustler's marketing muscle and the presence of Sasha Grey can propel any movie, such as its "Star Trek" parody, to astounding 3,000-unit sales, but what about the efforts of smaller companies that want to cash in on the more-lucrative-than-doing-nothing porn spoof market? We honor Muffia's "Star Trix" today.
Star Trix: Deep Penetration
Studio: Muffia
Director: uncredited
Cast: Jack Lawrence, Jayden Jaymes, Ryder Skye, Taylor Starr
Review by: Gram Ponante
Miami Internet studio Muffia offers a host of intriguing previews on this DVD, all featuring juicy, stripper/predator Florida-based talent (some of whom we've included in the gallery) with a smattering of Porn Valley transplants.
But "Star Trix," despite the efforts of Jack Lawrence as an understated but fully committed Shatner impersonator and Ryder Skye as a "Stringon" in one of her final boy/girl scenes (she has since moved on to the ladies exclusively), acts like painting Jayden Jaymes green and switching some names around is enough for a porn movie.
There are exactly three sex scenes in this movie, one with Jaymes, one with the listless Taylor Starr as "Uhora," and Skye's interlude with "Shock" at the end, but despite Lawrence's and Skye's best efforts, the movie seems directionless. Indeed, there is no director credited with the effort.
But "Star Trix" is a curiosity as an example of a low-budget, half-hearted attempt to cash in on something that needn't have been, and the best thing about it is the one area on Jaymes that the green paint didn't touch, and where my eyes were drawn as if to a millennial minstrel show.
We're not saying that the porn parody vein (yes, we said "vein") is tapped, but you've got to make some effort, because fans can spend their ejaculate anywhere.
