Spotlight Title: Ass Stretchers POV

Jules Jordan is probably the king of gonzo porn by any definition these days, having assumed the throne years ago from his friend and mentor, John Stagliano. His latest movie making it my way is the double disc set for Ass Stretchers POV: Special Edition,
offering just under five hours of strokable smut recorded in the point
of view fashion. As other companies cut back to offering two hours of
gonzo action for their price, Jules and his peers he distributes
continue to appeal to the value oriented of us out here; not selling
the world short on quality either. The scenes are again notable for the
amount of tease footage they provide, fans of the director having long
ago found out he appreciates and caters to those of us that like it as
much as he does, as well as sexy slutware to enhance the bodies of the
ladies with Jules and his associate Mario Cassini providing the dick
for them to work with. Given the names of the ladies alone, I knew this
would be a top pick of the week and there wasn't a filler scene in the
bunch, so if you haven't picked up a copy by now, you might want to
check it out. It had a wealth of heated sexual scenes that provided copious amounts of
chemistry, energy, passion, and sultry sexuality that should give fans
tremendous replay value over time. The strokability and amount of fuck
for the buck was almost enough to secure our highest rating but still
managing to get a very high end Highly Recommended due to the
nearly five hours of solid POV gonzo provided. There were some minor
rough edges and a few of the ladies were not at their very best but you
would be hard pressed to find as diverse a selection of POV footage in
a single release, each lady offering a different experience this time.
In short, Ass Stretchers POV: Special Edition was more than
"just a keeper" and the weaker extras were compensated by the amount of
material provided in the main flick so you can't go wrong picking up a
copy.

Sneak Peeks: Cheerleaders and Sexual Freak 8

Digital Playground is known for a lighter kind of gonzo not dependent on circus act sex so much as chemistry, heat, and the elusive fun factor our team documents in their reviews so getting early looks at their offerings is a lot of fun, especially when one of the top movies of the

year like Cheerleaders comes out.

This time, the focal point is on those ladies that jump, scream, and
look good in tights with all the company's contract stars at the time
it was shot having a series of barely related vignettes. Starting off
in a locker room, a group of frisky gals start playfully teasing each
other about their sexual exploits, eventually leading to a nine girl
lesbian orgy that some of out bloggers have remarked about (Adrianna
Lynn, Stoya, and Shay Jordan). Without going into too much detail, this
movie had some great scenes even if none of the performers looked as
though they could be in high school except maybe Stoya.
The chemistry was uniformly solid or better and you get a lot of fuck
for your buck this time as the movie clocks in at over two and a half
hours. It is almost certain to become another award winning championship effort
given the levels of heat displayed, the strokability, replay value, and
overall fuck for the buck so I rated it as Highly Recommended.
The contract performers were all nicely complimented by the rest of the
cast and I envision the improved visual elements of the upcoming
blu-ray will make it even better for fans equipped with the winner of
the next generation video format. There was truly something for
everyone this time and I suspect that the third in the series will be
something like Stewardess', Porn Stars, or Groupies but those of you looking for a pseudo-feature will appreciate this one a whole lot. In short, Cheerleaders raised the bar once again as other companies continued to cut back on
their own productions, the movie serving as an early frontrunner for
all the same award shows Babysitters took by storm.

Celeste is the director of erotica designed mostly for women at Digital Playground,
her works relying heavily on the assistance of her boy toy Robby but
conceived in the devious workings of her own mind from what I can tell.
I have found a number of her movies to be strokable but since I'm not
her target audience, my mileage probably varies from her regular fans
(I might adore the lady as an individual but I don't give walks to
anyone); some of which include my regular toy testing team that
appreciate Celeste's fuck flicks more than I ever could. Her latest
title to come out next month will be Audrey Bitoni: Sexual Freak 8, the sequel to more recently shot Stoya: Sexual Freak 7;
the movie featuring one of Robby's pet performers, Audrey Bitoni, in a
couple of early scenes in her career. He and I discussed her appeal to
him as well as his perception that I don't like her at the convention
last month; my comments regarding seeing more of her movies than he
ever will giving me a more balanced viewpoint. In any
case, the series is known for providing a set of five erotic scenarios
that allow a particular fantasy of Celeste to be lived out on screen;
the heat greatly varying depending on the performers as far as I can
tell. It was the perfect example of a star driven title that some of you will
really like while others will find tepid (at best). Audrey certainly
has her charms and as an oral sex provider, she seems to be a top
flight performer (not in the Jenna Haze category but still a solid
oralist) though her penetrative sex often lacks energy as displayed in
all but the last few minutes of her two scenes here. I rated this as a Rent It
for the general audience but fans of the young lady will likely
consider it a "must have" that they should pre-order before it comes
out next month.

Mailbag: Letters from our readers

"Mack writes: I watch almost as much porn as you do and it always bothers me when I see some of the companies not using their contract girls very much. Is there any reason why some get better movies, shoot more movies, and more public relations push?

Don Houston responds: It bugs me too when I see marginal performers getting the "star treatment" while beautiful, sex-loving babes seem to be treated like yesterday's news; the lack of promotion making company expectations a self fulfilling prophecy but it's not as simple as all that either. From what I gather, contracts are drawn up individually with both parties agreeing to specific terms like how many scenes, how readily available the ladies will be for signings, and what kind of extra curricular work they can do. Contracts provide the performer with a lot more money "per scene" on average though they make far fewer scenes in the process. One of the problems from the company perspective is that they are paying for an asset that depreciates much like anything else in most cases, so releasing enough titles to satisfy a true fan would lead to burning out the masses that they rely on to make up the difference in profitability. Companies often shoot a lot of material all at once over a short period of time to release on a schedule they feel will maximize sales, many of which come out well after the actual contract has expired which is a mixed blessing (a popular gal will already be making tons of scenes that flood the market, typically with harder sex, while less popular gals don't sell as well in the first place). There is also the problem when a contract doesn't work out for various reasons like the performer dictating additional terms, acting up on set, or even off camera to cause bad publicity. Ultimately, the companies are the ones fronting all the money so they get to see the entire picture that we as fans do not, an awful lot going on behind the scenes leading to who gets the better titles, bigger "push" as you call it, or making the rounds at conventions, signings, and events (usually related to their drive, willingness to cater to fans, and talent).

Cynthia writes: I really appreciate it that you add trailers to so many of your reviews. Not to knock your book long reviews but seeing the cast in action helps me more than even the pictures you add so why don't all the reviews have them?

Don responds: Thanks for taking the time to write in with your question. Most companies do not even make trailers for their current releases and those that do are not always easy to find. If any company wants us to add their trailers to our reviews by way of a link (we really don't want to tie up that much bandwidth), all they need to do is let us know and we'll go out of our way to add them in. Our mission here is to serve the consumer but that doesn't mean we won't also help the production company offer up their short version of what makes their products unique. On the other hand, a lot of companies that do make trailers should probably spend more time on them or find better editors because they aren't all created equal (I'm being diplomatic here). I have standing offers for companies to send in links for trailers too and if I'm aware of their existence, I add them as a courtesy and some of my peers here at Xcritic have been adding them in as well but again, if we have to search endlessly to find the trailers, it probably isn't going to happen.

Anonymous writes: I have been considering reviewing for Xcritic but it looks like a lot of work and I'm not sure I have the time, energy, and patience you have to go into such detail. How much time do you spend on each review and how many reviews do you want me to do if I join?

Don responds: One of the things you have to remember is that not all reviewers are alike, have the same tastes, and present their opinions the same way; we encourage diversity! We're looking for people that will write a minimum of one review a week on average, more if they can handle it without quality control issues. Screen captures, adding trailers, and going into great detail are all frills that we strongly encourage (especially if you want the top titles) but ultimately the basics about what you liked, disliked, and a good honest overall heads up are what we truly need from a contributor to qualify for the team.

For me, the amount of time varies on each review since some movies (like our pick of the week at the top of the column) last 4, 5, or 6 hours while others are barely an hour with extras all over the place. In general, multiply the running time of the movie and extras by 1.5 to 2x and that is what it takes me to watch and then write up a basic review. IMHO, the best reviewers are those that really like porn, will set aside some time each week to write a few titles up, and want to give fellow enthusiasts a truthful opinion so send in a few trial reviews to get the ball rolling!

Well, that's all for now but keep sending emails since we can really use the input to make Xcritic the kind of website that caters to what you, the consumer, wants to see.
We'd love to read your comments and feedback on this column, Send us
your thoughts on other things you'd like to see in the space, or even
random thoughts about the world of porn. In fact, we're still looking
for reviewers, writers, and a host of others to contribute to the
website to make it even better so drop us a line at [email protected] and [email protected].

Highlights of The Week

Chris Streams
has long been one of the "go to" guys in porn directing at various
companies, his love of tease, lingerie, and sexy women rivaling my own.
Now that he is directing titles to be distributed by Jules Jordan Video,
I fully expect him to showcase the ladies even more; a dynamic shared
by his peers there that were tired of being "run of the mill" directors
elsewhere. His second title for the company is Squirt Machines: Special Editionand I think it's fair to let you know that I have long held that
"squirting" is just a harder to prosecute code word for pissing based
on what I've been told "off the record" by a number of industry
notables over the years. To me, the genre is merely a gimmick but I'm
not about to pass up some of my favorite ladies' works simply because
I'm not a believer and the showmanship employed by many of them is such
that I have fun seeing them go over the top during these displays of
watery wonder. That said, here is one of the longest such titles on the
market today and full of a solid cast that I know Chris will take full
advantage of in their lengthy scenes that I spent considerable time
describing. It had enough fluid dynamics to earn a degree in engineering school as
well as a particularly strong, yet diverse, cast of characters well
suited to the genre. With over four hours of material in the movie
itself and over another hour of unique extras, the strength of the
performances alone merited a rating of Highly Recommended. In short, Squirt Machines: Special Editionhad everything advertised and more, the levels of fuck for the buck
elevated by the tease, the camera work, and the bounty of additional
footage. Fans of squirting titles might even think this one was better
than I did given my beliefs regarding the genre but it had a lot of
quality stroke material so get a copy and enjoy yourselves.

Belladonna is currently the only female director at Evil Angel
and she puts to rest the idea that gender is indicative of what kinds
of scenes can be attributed to a lady at the helm of a porn production.
Notably offering some of the hardest hardcore legally available in the
USA, Bella's works are often compared to Max Hardcore or Jake Malone;
two of the men that routinely come up when truly filthy sex is
mentioned these days. Her latest title on the market is Belladonna's Butthole Whores 2,
a tribute to the kind of anal action the lady has been known for over
the years, relying less on circus act sex than the performers engaging
in the sexually depraved tricks shown on the small screen. The cover
proclaimed it like this: "butthole... the other vagina" and that pretty
much sums up her approach here even though the pussies got plenty of
action too. It was not her kinkiest work, nor was it her most extreme in terms of
sexual practices but there was a lot of anal and a focus on the
performers rather than extraneous stuff that most people don't care
about so I rated it as Recommended. Bella's scenes alone were a
great reason to pick up a copy of the movie and fans of BTS footage
will appreciate that wealth of material included here in the six
separate sections, the stroke value of the movie substantial even if
marred somewhat by the technical values. In short, Belladonna's Butthole Whores 2 was pretty much what I expected it would be and fans of the lady will
likely find a whole lot to like in the nearly six hours of footage
included on the double disc set.

Van Styles
is a director that appreciates curvy women nearly as much as I do, his
various product lines over the years showing a lot of promise as far as
I was concerned. Under a new distribution deal with Metro Interactive, his movies will hopefully find a wider audience, the man putting a lot of effort into his latest release titled Azz Fest 6.
The movie is a set of five lengthy scenes starring some of the hottest
names in gonzo porn including Brianna Love, Jenny Hendrix, Alexis
Texas, and a couple more that probably have developed a following over
time. If you prefer tiny gals with small butts, look elsewhere but this
was definitely looking promising to me, a confirmed bootiologist. The
back cover said it like this: "Van Styles' Azz Fest 6 is about one
man's obsession, a love of big, round, delicious asses. Each bootyful
babe treats the viewer to a sizzling hot, butt-lovin' sex scene
featuring the most virile studs to turn these bitches out right! It's
Van-tastic!" If that sounds appealing to you, I can almost guarantee you will enjoy this release. It had a great cast, a lot of strokability, and substantial replay value to make it worth a rating of Recommended.
The rating might have been higher but the audio issues weakened it for
me and even the lengthy BTS that I liked so much had suffered from this
problem. Still, fans of Brianna Love, Jenny Hendrix, and Alexis Texas
will want to get a copy of Azz Fest 6 for themselves to enjoy because I'm not going to lend anyone my copy.

New Sensations
is the company responsible for the I Love...Series, proving to be able
to give fans what they want in great quantity in recent years. Their
latest release in the series is I Love Big Butts: Collector's Edition,
a double disc set of hotties bouncing on throbbing rods and slurping on
the juicy meat poles in a variety of different ways. The theme this
time was on ladies with ample asses, most of the ladies in the cast
appearing to be in their early twenties at first glance; many of them
award winning starlets from the last few years. While I might have
picked a different set of scenes based on my tastes, this was a pretty
solid set in large part, catering to the stated market niche fairly
well. Hey, if it was good enough for Sir Mix-A-Lot, why can't the rest
of us appreciate those round things in our face too? It had a few butts that did not quite measure up and many of the scenes
did not have anal sex in them as one my think given the nature of the
compilation but there was such an ample sample of well rounded rumps on
display over the course of the nearly five hour double disc set (yes, 5
HOURS!), that even a few mediocre scenes did not detract enough to
lower the score from a strong Recommended. There were some
notable ladies of the large rump squad missing here but I can hardly
fault the company for carefully selecting scenes that haven't been used
repeatedly so you might want to pick this one up. In short, ass
aficionados will appreciate I Love Big Butts: Collector's Edition even if the troublesome watermark was present in all scenes (lower
right hand corner of the screen) thanks to heated performances by
Brianna Love, Jenny Hendrix, Flower Tucci, Julia Bond, Alexis Texas,
and many others.

Ray Bones is one of the new directors for Diabolic Digital
that I have become acquainted with of late, his latest release making
it my way full of some heated solo fun. His latest work is Filled to the Rim 5,
an anal creampie movie picking up where former director David Perry
left off by using domestic ladies instead of the European gals so
common in low end gonzo productions. I was hoping that Ray would
provide something of an upgrade to previous efforts in the series I had
watched, some of the older scenes working fairly well but far from the
kind of quality I had long associated with the company and its
directors. It showed more of his potential at directing than the last release of his
I reviewed but given the quality of the cast, the replay value, and the
strokability observed, I thought it earned a rating of at least Recommended.
More polishing up on the technical side of things, be it the camera
work, the lighting, and/or the editing would likely have elevated this
one another notch up the ladder but there was a solid amount of fuck
for the buck to appreciate so fans of the cast or anal creampies might
want to check this one out. In short, Filled to the Rim 5 was
definitely a step up from the previous director of the series but the
domestic cast certainly helped make it better too with my concerns
about missing extras and technical matters almost dropping it down a
notch too.

Reviewer Ravyn found a collection of female friendly porn to be worth the effort in Playgirl's Erotic Collection: Playgirl's titles seem to have a hit or miss quality about them.
Playgirl's Erotic Collection is an erotic soft core DVD made for first
timers and women that do not enjoy the hard core genre of the adult
movies. They will find this collection more than suitable for their
taste. Even the covers of all Playgirl DVD are made specially to
attract a woman's desires at the point of purchase. Playgirl gives you
the typical romantic get-together without the intense circus acts that
are a turn off for so many. There is also abundance bonus material
including a solo male masturbation scene which you can either pass or
watch. PlayGirl did its best to find the best scenes from PlayGirl TV and bring it together in this collection. It has a lot to offer when it comes to selling fantasies with a cast of
beautiful men and woman all working together to in one common
goal...to bring you pleasure. In choosing three of there older titles
they selected what they felt as the most sensual and erotic of them
all bringing to the collection what women are sure to enjoy, only
one did not seem to belong among the rest. If there was one story that really stood out in the entire set, it would have to be "The Priest" with Niko and Evan
Angelina in Body Worship. With all the fantasies and desires men and
women have that is the hottest scene ever! Granted that all of them
had a high heat level especially An Experimental Twist with Penny
Flame. Playgirl's Erotic Collection impressed the hell out of me and
I look forward to more from Playgirl like this in the future. As
an added bonus there is a fourth DVD Wicked Sampler which you cant
resist in watching.

Reviewer Wind Tunnel then brought forth a duo of titles you might find appealing with All Teens #3: Number three in an already classic series, All Teens #3, like its predecessor,
funnels five youthful girls through the pipes of Mr. Ashley and his
cadre of sex fiends. I'm happy to report that the girls radiate a
luminosity by just looking at them, so let's go one further and see if
they can cut the mustard on these weiners. As a fan of the eternal youth that porn provides, I can say, without a
doubt, that the still-going trend of gaunt and beyond reasonable
thinness among newer performers will always conflict any excitement I
could have, and will have, for them, but perhaps I am in the minority.
Still, the appearance of the can't-miss and slam-dunking Tori, along
with the ice-popped prattle of Chloe, and even Kacey's minor triumphs
are enough to suggest you seek this one out on a teen-themed trip to
Bonertown (population: you), as some may find the thick-lipped Isabella
and the juicy-but-underwhelming Courtney more their flavor; and Daddy I'm a Porn Star: Like many a fresh-faced title guarantees, the girls in Daddy I'm a Pornstarnow are youthful and eager to please. All involved turn in very heated
performances, and each girl's particular style is what drives the film
to succeed. However, a few camera choices aside, the quality outweighs
the less desirable aspects, and I recommend you pick it up. Director
Spyder Jonez keeps the mood light, and even as the sex dials up faster
and harder, it's clear that everyone involved is having a grand time
whirling around each other, and it shows.

Peter Rockwell has been burning the midnight oil to bring us all a lot of love with reviews on a plethora of titles such as Barely Legal Straight To Anal: Director Axel Braun does it again with Barely Legal Straight to Anal.
Keeping the Hustler tradition alive, this title features some of the
hottest young girls you'll ever see, enjoyable sex, and solid technical
quality. Whether you're a fan of the performers or are just looking for
a new teen DVD, I recommend going out and picking this one up; Anal Fuck Auditions #2: The sex on the DVD was top notch. The girls are all sexy and energetic,
they have great chemistry with their partners, and they look like
they're having fun. When you add in the value of the extras you have a
DVD that delivers plenty of fuck for your buck. Whether you're looking
for a DVD to watch with your partner or solo Anal Fuck Auditions 2 should prove to be worth your time; Real College Girls #14: With literally dozens on new teen releases coming out every month it's tough to decide where to spend your money. Real College Girls #14provides everything you expect from a "teen" DVD: young-looking girls
in lots of raunchy sex, wrapped in good video quality, and sprinkled
with extras. If you're looking to buy a teen DVD it's tough to do
better than this release; She Likes It Big #2: I'll be the first to admit that I've never been a big fan of
"large cock" DVDs. I often find that it looks like the girls are in a
lot of discomfort - something I don't find particularly sexy. With that
being said, this is still a decent release. The sex is intense and
energetic, the girls are all smokin', and the technical quality is
good. Fans of the previous installment work will definitely want to
pick this up; Big Wet Tits #6: I'll pretty much sum up this DVD the way I sum up man of Elegant
Angel's titles. If you're sure you can handle the often rough action
then you'll definitely enjoy it. If you're looking to watch it with
your significant other, or prefer more passionate sex, look elsewhere. Big Wet Tits 6 provides plenty of value, attractive girls, and solid technical quality; Barely Legal Latinas: Overall this was a pretty solid release. Nothing overwhelming but it
does all the little things well. The girls are all young and
attractive, the technical quality is good, and you get some decent fuck
for your buck. It's not a "must own" but if you like the Latina genre
try to find this title on sale; Fresh Outta High School #8: This DVD delivered what it promised - young looking girls sucking and
fucking. There really weren't any "filler" scenes, and every girl gave
a solid performance. Combine all that with good extras and above
average technical quality, and you have a DVD worth adding to your
collection. If you're a fan of teen DVDs, do yourself a favor and check
this title out; and Fuck For Dollars #7: The girls all look and behave like real amateurs starring in their
first film. The acting is astoundingly good, so good in fact you are
almost inclined to believe this is a real scenario (almost). Everyone
else looking for a playful and lighthearted (yet sexually intense) DVD
will want to check this one out as well.

Fans of the literary type might appreciate Naughty Book Worms Volume 10, the latest in the thankfully ongoing Naughty America
series distributed by Pure Play Media, is, like the nine entries that
came before it, targeted to a pretty specific segment - those who like
natural girls in glasses and who also enjoy the fantasy of a teacher
coercing a student into sex in order to boost grades or win favor. This
latest entry spices up the successful formula used in past releases a
little bit by including two three-ways and by upping the raunch factor
a little bit in cover girl Audrey Hollander's scene but aside from
that, it's pretty much what you'd expect (and what you'd want) from the
series. It is spicy enough to make you stand up and take notice but not so harsh
as to alienate the fanbase that has grown around the series. The girls
are all sexy as sin and the five scenes that make up this release are
solid. The extras are still slim but the content is good enough that
this one comes highly recommended. Overall, this is a really strong entry in the series, better than the
last couple of discs that have come down the pipeline. There's a bit
more variety here in both the casting and in the action and that makes
for a hotter viewing experience. The sex doesn't seem forced or too out
of character for anyone involved and the direction is solid.

Harry Johnson then saw fit to present his choice of the week with No Man's Land: Asian Edition 6: The No Man's Land series has been going strong for quite some time and
it shows absolutely no signs of stopping any time soon. The sixth
installment of the Asian variation of the franchise has finally been
released and it is a lesbian lover's dream come true. This volume tells
the story of a fallen angel coming to terms with her recent departure.
With Lana being the center of attention you know that things are going
to be good but it only gets better as the volume goes on. This was one
of the hottest releases I have seen in both the Asian and lesbian
genres. If you're a fan of either you absolutely must check this out!
Admittedly this was my first viewing of the Asian version of No Man's
Land, so I don't know if there was a story in the previous
installments. This time around there is a defined anime/manga appeal as
Lana walks around with wings and there seem to be demons possessing
some of the girls. Add to that a cryptic narrative and a comic book
towards the end and you have porn designed with J-Pop culture in mind.
It definitely fit in with the whole Asian vibe though the fact that the
sex was as hot as it was proved to be more than enough reason to check
this release out. Each scene of this DVD is incredible and this release
comes highly recommended.

Michael Vega, our resident expert on Latina porn titles, then gave us a detailed look at Diabolic's Hot Sauce #5: Although Hot Sauce 5 had some very
"vocal" performances, this was a fucking hot disc with a very
attractive cast of Latinas. In fact, in previous reviews (Latina flicks included), it seems like there
was always one girl that I wasn't too fond of. This flick had none of that -
every girl was pretty and made my blood flow like crazy. For example, the flick
begins with Evan, so intently engrossed in an "Atlas Of the American
Revolution" that he neglects to notice Paige and Kristina getting frisky
at the other end of the couch. These lovely ladies make their way over to Evan
(with their titties hangin' out) and quickly make him focus his attention where
it should be - on them! Paige starts sucking his dick, while Kristina sits on
his face to let him eat her pussy. The trio gets down to penetratin' when
Kristina takes a reverse cowgirl ride, while Paige does some riding of her own
on Evan's face. The girls switch positions, this time Paige takes a sexy
cowgirl ride as Kristina slaps her pussy back down on Evan's face to get it
licked. After some brief PTM, the girls bend over to let Evan take turns
fucking them doggystyle. This hot scene winds down when Kristina spreads her
legs for some missionary and bow and arrow, until Evan drops a shot in Paige's
mouth. Kristina quickly bends over and lets Paige spit it out onto the crack of
her ass to run down to her pussy. This
was a very hot scene. Both ladies were cute and the fact that they kept their
clothes on while fucking made it hotter for me. The only negative during this
sexy scene would be the girls penchant for dramatic vocalization and the
occasional "Batman" (60's TV show, not movie) angles that Sid would
use to frame the action.

Guy Incognito then provided some picks with Porcelain HD: "Porcelain" takes us back to the age where porn tried to develop
franchise characters. But, Celeste isn't a character persay. She's a
porn auteur. A female Jack Horner living the real life "Boogie Night",
as she tries to bring elegance via a High Definition filter to porn.
Does she succeed? Well, I think she did a damn good job. The HD-DVD format is just about dead, but it was good to see that the
porn studios knew what to do with it, while it was going out the door.
The transfer is amazing on the main feature with no digital noise on
the transfer and no dropout in the sound. It's just a shame that they
couldn't put any of the special features into 1080 quality. Still, it
was a wonderful experience and opened up my eyes to the way that I view
porn; Orgy Sex Parties Vol. 3: It delivers everything that is stated in the
title. You get three major orgies and some sidebar stuff. But, it all
boils down to a bunch of dudes fucking a lot of pussy. The A/V Quality
is almost pitch perfect, but there's digital noise that pops up in the
middle of the second scene. Still, it's a charmer and definitely one of
the better discs I've seen in the last few months; Mother's Milk: It is another fine entry into the MILF Porn world. Damn,
I've got to thank "American Pie" for bringing the MILF into popular
consciousness. This disc is tremendous, as you get to see the best
MILFs in the business on one of the best looking DVDs out there. You
get Darryl Hanah, you get Lake Rusell and you get the exotic Abby Rode.
These lovely ladies thrown together is enough to make any disc a
best-seller; Carmen Loves Girls: a fun compilation disc that introduces us to the
sexy world of Carmen Luvana. Carmen is one of the fastest rising female
stars in the business and she uses all four hours of this disc to show
the world how she earned it. Everyone from Eve Laurence to Avy Lee Roth
stops by to make the love gravy. The A/V Quality is superior to most
releases and a welcome change from some of the weak discs I've sat
through recently; and Top 40 Adult Stars Collection #2: is a fun collection of the best women in porn over the last few years.
You get your Katie Morgan, your Sylvia Saint and even some Audrey
Hollander. The 2-disc DVD set is packed to the gills with special
features that seem to promote other business ventures for Video Team.
But, don't let that get you down. The A/V Quality is pretty strong for
such a full disc. It's just that the video starts drop off towards the
end of disc with soft color focus. Still, it's nothing that bad. It's a pretty nice porn catch-all that would entice the porn newbie and
even the porn veterans. I just wish that the disc layout had been
planned a little better.

Last but far from least was Frankenlola's look at Vivid title Coed Pool Party: You are invited to watch a porn star pool party. Monique is having
people over to enjoy the sun, fun, and hardcore sex. Several girls
tell about their sexual escapades and the hot stories get everybody
worked up. Soon bikini tops come off and swimming trunks come down as
an all-out orgy breaks out right in the pool. There is some hot action
between singles, couples and threesomes.
This movie lives up to the title and really builds to the finale. With
three of the first four scenes being solo, the viewer is really looking
for some action. When it arrives it does not disappoint. The early
scenes would have been more enjoyable with an actual flashback, but
since they are short it is not a big deal. The final scene has
everything but the kitchen sink. Some my find it distracting jumping
back and forth betweens the groups, but we felt it added a lot of
variety. It was like having four scenes at one time. If you don't
like girl-girl you can focus on Honey, or if anal isn't your thing,
watch Monique play with her puss.
This movie is a very good example of a Vivid title with very
attractive girls and nothing terribly demeaning or hardcore. There is
enough extra to equal the runtime of the feature. The replay is very
good. However, some S.O.s may be turned off by the female solo scenes,
but the stories may be a turn-on. As stated above, the final scene
offers something for everyone. I am putting it high on the couples
scale, but less solo action would make it a full couple's title.
