B. Skow has been the driving force at Vivid Entertainment
in terms of providing good looking porn in recent years; typically
bringing something unique to the mix as he enhanced the performances of
the ladies he shot for the company under so many sets of circumstances.
His latest release is a bit different in that it was a series of
lengthy scenes called Brand New Faces 5; a movie dedicated to
showcasing four lovely young ladies in their first scenes for porn and
the sequel to the extremely popular Brand New Faces 1, Brand New Faces 2, and Brand New Faces 4
I saw recently. The porn industry is replete with gals claiming to be
in their first scenes ever but the catch this time was the cover
promising a "100% Money-Back Guarantee" that these were the first times
the ladies were on film. Be that as it may, the cover also promised
that the scenes were candid and given my experience with newcomers, I
was hoping Skow could pull a rabbit out of a hat and also make them
award winning performances.  It was worth a rating of Recommended to me for all the action, the
new faces, and the technical handling of the scenes but fans of brand
new gals will think it was a "must have" since the ladies looked and
performed their roles so well. I can't definitively state that none of
them have shot a professional scene before but unlike so many titles
that Vivid sits on for years as part of their marketing approach, Brand New Faces 5was rushed right to the pressing plant to jump on the newness factor
(something other companies seem to have embraced in the past as many of
you like to see "firsts", real or imagined). Whatever the reality of
the marketing claim though, all four of the cuties were breaths of
fresh air and deserve some accolades for providing enough fuck for the
buck, strokability, and replay value to make this a keeper for your
collection.

Tom Byron
is something of a legend in porn, having started decades ago with some
of the hottest talent in the jizz biz, gaining notoriety like few
others having left his life in Houston Texas for the bright lights of
Chatsworth. In recent times, his works for Tom Byron Pictures have gained substantial praise, even making pick of the week recently
here on Xcritic. Browsing the internet to gain new ideas, I came across
a review by one of the most straightforward guys I've been acquainted
with, Smutmutant, who got me interested in Tom's latest title, House of Ass 8, the sequel to House of Ass 7.
The movie showcased some very popular ass so I could see why he was so
enthusiastic about it, the man not known for kissing company ass; the
end result being a lot of you will enjoy the movie. This has been
hailed by Tom as his "come back series", the man having almost left
before coming back a few years ago. Wheelchair remarks during his
interludes with Tori Black aside, he's done so much for so long that
it's always good to see him trying to elevate his game as he has been
doing of late.  It was a solid little effort so I could see why Smut was so happy with it.
My tastes are a bit different and I look for different things but the
quality of the casting and amount of replay warranted a rating of Recommended from me all the same. In short, if you love asses more than anal sex, you will have plenty to appreciate with House of Ass 8,
the technical values and extras spicing things up a bit too as Tom
regains his former stature as "The Lord of Asses" (if a fellow
Houstonian can't say nice things about you, who can?).

HJ has been directing for Evil Angel Buttman Magazine Choice
a little in recent times; providing his own vision that shows a love of
ass that I can identify with so I try to pick up his releases whenever
they come out. His most recent release for the company was Keep It Right There, an interracial love fest where he boned some hot hunnies with superior
asses. The back cover said it like this: "English girl Savanah had only
done one interracial scene. You can tell she likes the black/white
contrast, and she freaky as hell! This was Anell's first interracial
scene. I was seeing Envy Mi at the time, so Envy convinced Anell to
give me that phat ass! Vanity Cruz is a thick, mixed sister. Damn,
man...she sucked my dick like she wanted me to love her! Taj Malai is
an Asian/black stripper from San Diego. Turns out her driver was her
boyfriend...Damn! Dude was all up in my crib and shit. This white girl
Sindy said she likes girls and only fucks dudes for movies, so I
thought that she wouldn't suck my dick good. Man, was I wrong! She
still sucked dick like a pro. My boy told me Kara Tai is pretty as
hell...and has a crazy sexy look about her. Check out how she be
fuckin' dawg. She really be getting her freak on! Kiara Marie is one of
them Amazon white women that you wanna fuck the shit out of, just to
see if she can take it. I saw my chance; I took it!"  It was not his most consistent work to date but some of the performances
were off the hook in terms of how a few of the ladies really shined
like stars. The fact that HJ concentrated so much on raw energy and
enthusiasm instead of polished looks and editing out all the nuances
that make him different were enough to merit a rating of Recommended. If you like tease footage, curvy women from all kinds of races, and a guy that loves showing them off, Keep It Right There should be on your short list of gonzo titles to pick up.

Robby has been experimenting a lot of late as he seeks out new ways of
conveying sexual tension and heat in a very crowded market; succeeding
most times in addressing a particular market niche (he does it all,
does it well, and doesn't rely on the same tricks all the time to keep
it interesting). Today's review is of Deeper 2 HD, the thematic sequel to Deeper 1 HD,where the cast of ladies all seem to want the men to hammer them
increasingly deeper as they provide a cross between the erotic Celeste
style and the more gonzo Robby style that the director shoots. Of note
to some of you is the company's willingness to continue marketing HD
titles even with the format now having lost the "war", such titles
being released as long as they sell well enough to justify their
existence per Joone and Samantha; the two bigwigs at the company. Let's
face it, there are still over a million players out there and the
opportunity to serve that market after others have abandoned it is a
pretty big feather in their cap; though I doubt sales will be big
enough to continue indefinitely. The entire female cast were "A List"
talent and the primary selling point was clearly the beautiful contract
star Teagan Presley; a gal on her own as of this writing, looking leaner than ever. The emphasis was on artistic sex with hot ladies; something most people will appreciate.  My personal taste in porn tends to lean away from the artistic stuff
though I appreciate it most when taken in small doses (and only when
done "right"; a value judgment some on the production side get really
touchy about at weaker companies). Still, director Robby D. earned a rating of Recommended from me for Deeper 2 HD and fans of Teagan's that don't mind condoms should consider this a must have title. In summary, Deeper 2 was as much a showcase for the creative talents of director Robby D. as it was for the flawless beauty of Teagan Presley;
transcending the throwaway porn all too common these days. It won't be
for everyone but it will certainly serve its intended audience for a
long, hard time to come.

New Sensations
has been very active in the compilation market recently, offering
multi-disc sets and focused performer titles so it makes sense that
they eventually got around to their contract hotty Ashlynn Brooke
before too long with I Love Ashlynn Brooke, a set of 8 scenes
that elevates the dynamic by adding in a brand new, all exclusive scene
of the cutie doing Steve Holmes. The cover said it like this: "We are
proud to introduce the newest girl to our I Love series! Yes, that's
right. It's our very own contract girl, Ashlynn Brooke, and now is your
chance to own 8 of her finest scenes to date. You know you can't resist
that cute little smile, those soft, luscious breasts, and that tight,
little ass. She's the perfect example of the perfect girl, and now she
can be yours in this special collector's edition that features over 3
hours and 30 minutes of nonstop, in your face sex. So we guess the real
question is...Why would you love Ashlynn Brooke?"  It was a nicely handled set of eight scenes starring the attractive young
contract performer, a wider variety than usual thanks to her lesbian
work and solo scene combining with the exclusive scene and the rest of
the bunch so I rated it as Recommended. The technical values
varied a bit too much and some of the scenes were not as heated as
others but in the big picture, there was more Ashlynn Brooke fuck for
the buck than you are likely to find anywhere else on the market. In
short,  I Love Ashlynn Brooke will appeal to her fans a whole
lot (for them, this is a "must have") as well as a more general gonzo
loving audience, the dual layered disc worthy of some nods thanks to
the care the company put into the release.

Eli Cross
is one of the hottest directors in porn these days, primarily due to
his excellent works at Sex Z Pictures. He does one big flick a year for
them as well as some smaller titles that appeal on an equally smaller
scale, reminding me that he has shot at companies such as Adam &
Eve and Vivid Entertainment in his sorted past. Today's review is of one of those smaller budget movies of his from Vivid called Sounds of Obsession,
a showcase piece starring Sunrise Adams as a housewife upset at the
possibility of her husband (the mighty Evan Stone) having an affair
with a hotty porn star (Kylie Ireland) and her need for revenge. The
back cover described the movie like this: "Krista, is the frustrated
wife of a radio producer who leaves her every morning to work
side-by-side with an ex-porn star and sex-talk radio host. Her husband
is distant and unaffectionate at home, and is extremely focused on
work. Meanwhile, Krista's friends are cheating left and right, and
Krista is having fantasies about banging someone else for revenge. It's
not surprising that she becomes fixated on the idea that her husband is
having an affair. When Krista finally breaks down and gets off with a
studio engineer right on the floor of her husband's inner sanctum, the
guilt drives Krista towards drastic measures that will ensure her
husband's co-host never gets in the way of her home life ever again."
If you like darker themed shows, this will be right up your alley since
the reduced size of the budget might have truncated Eli's grander
nature in movie making but could not kill off his ability to make a
tight little fuck flick worth checking out.  It was a strokable little flick that fans of the cast should enjoy enough to merit a rating of Recommended.
The visuals were disturbingly off somehow but I have come to think that
this is part of Eli's style given his bigger works in recent years, a
willingness to provide something different rather than chase the gonzo
pack as so many of his peers seem willing to do.

Digital Sin
and sister company New Sensation have been chugging out compilations in
recent years to suit the needs of many fans. By offering up focused
nods to specific genres and performers, their level of fuck for the
buck climbs substantially over the multitude of generic gonzo offerings
on the market, giving many people an incentive to pick up a few titles
depending on what their tastes may be. Such was the case with  Asstravaganza #7: 2 Disc Set,
a double disc set of scenes focusing all their attention on a series of
mighty fine asses with a whole lot of anal loving taking place in the
4+ hour show and sequel to Asstravaganza 6.
Just a look at the lineup of ladies will tell you all you need to know
but as the back cover put it: "14 scenes of anal carnage? You bet your
ass it is! So come and see the newest volume of the Asstravaganza
series with this spectacular 2 disc set that features over 4 hours and
30 minutes of pure anal action. Led by super hotties Katja Kassin,
Julia Bond, Jamie Elle, Ariana Jollee, Leah Luv, & Jenny Hendrix,
this is one ass of a movie that you don't want to miss. And that's not
it, because we also included an extremely rare anal scene of Brittney
Skye takin' it up the poop shooter like nobody's business! So whether
you're an anal connoisseur or just a plain, ol' dirty freak,
Asstravaganza has got exactly what you're lookin' for!"  It had fourteen scenes of anal depravity that should give you all some
inspiration in your personal pleasure sessions. The amount of fuck for
the buck was exceptional for such a compilation at this price, the
wealth of scenes from the past mixing in nicely with the newer works
that I had not seen as of yet so I rated it as Recommended.

Next up was MILF-Stravaganza! 2, a collection of scenes using curvy older
women showing that women age like fine wine sexually, getting better
with experience instead of getting all used up. The term MILF has been
around a very long time but popularized about ten years ago in one of
the mainstream American Pie movies, the promiscuous mother of one of
the characters someone all the men revered as their pick of the litter
(so to speak). This time, there are ten scenes to enjoy, most of them
showing some solid replay value and heated antics or as the cover put
it: "You want more MILFs? Then you got it because this newest volume of
MILF-stravaganza features 10 hot tortilla scenes with the hottest MILFs
you have ever laid your eyes on. Sienna West, Barbie Baja, Aline, Devon
Lee, Ava Lauren, and other sexy soccer moms get packin' and give you
plenty of fuckin action as they spread lips for over 4 hours and 30
minutes of pure pussy mayhem. So you better get crackin', because
there's no doubt it's going to get rowdy in this "mother" fucker!"  It was not as thematically sound as most of their compilations since a
number of the ladies simply did not quite fit the whole MILF dynamic
all that well but given the amount of fuck for the buck and quality
abounding in the better scenes, I still felt it fair to give the show
the nod with a Recommended. The scenes that worked best for me
were the ones that applied a bit of humor, poking some fun at
themselves in the process, but the technical values varied somewhat
too, the better scenes by Eddie Powell standing out from the pack more
than anything. In short, MILF-Stravaganza! 2 will appeal to
those of you that like a bit of experience and womanly curves on the
ladies so give it a look to see what I mean.

Rob Randell then gave us a look into Fucked At Random, the latest release from the folks at Red Light District Video, saying:  is a gonzo oriented porno from Red Light District Video with role
playing. In each scene a dude joins Juan Cuba on the prowl. They hit
the streets and sweet talk innocent random girls to go back to their
place and fuck.  I was very happy with this DVD. What I liked about it were
the sex scenes! That of course is a very good thing. The first scene
with Crissy Moon was my favorite and I've had to watch it a few times.
The rest of the scenes are also good and have some damn hot sex. If you
like cute young babes with hot bodies then you will want to check out
this latest release from Red Light District Video.  Crissy made such an impression on him that here's his take on her scene:  Crissy is a very sexy brunette with a tight little figure and small
perky tits. She is very fuckable. The scene opens with James Deen on
the prowl. He finds Crissy on the streets and convinces her to come
home with him. They talk and one thing leads to another: clothes come
off and the fucking begins. They start off with straight sex. James
fucks her missionary and Crissy looks good in the act. Next she gives
him a blow job. Crissy's gorgeous face looks great stuffed with cock.
As the scene continues there is straight and anal sex with a couple
oral interludes. It is very steamy. The scene ends with a facial.

Harry Johnson, not just a reviewer name but a condition he lives with, then pointed out the wealth of footage in Fantasy All Stars #6:  Ah, compilation time! If you're too lazy or poor to check out every
release that hits the market it's always a nice thing when a publisher
brings a plethora of material together and presents in a nice little
package. Digital Sin has done just that. Fantasy All Stars 6 is
basically just what it sounds like. This 2 disc collection is a
compilation of some of the hottest girls in the industry and the scenes
have been pulled from various Digital Sin releases. The quality is
mostly fantastic though a couple of scenes do disappoint in that
department but thankfully that's hardly enough to detract from the
enjoyment.  It is another compilation release from Digital Sin that deserves to be
checked out. As is the case with most compilation releases the quality varies
depending on the original material. For the most part these scenes look
great but a lack of anamorphic widescreen hurts somewhat and the
picture quality isn't as strong as it could have been. Softness, grain,
and compression are problems for most of these scenes. The audio is
good for the most part but kind of underwhelming in many ways. There
weren't really any flaws aside from some balancing issues so on the
whole this DVD is just better than average.
The ten scenes that are here feature some of the best
performers in the business right now and for the most part these scenes
are fantastic. A few stand out and a couple disappoints but overall I
was very impressed by the picks. Check it out if any of these girls are
a favorite of yours and I'm sure you'll find another that's to your
liking.

Peter Rockwell then provided a glimpse into a few picks with Creampie Blowout #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 Cream Pie Blowout Vol. 2  should prove to be worth your time.  The picture was presented in a typical full-screen format. I've always
been reasonably impressed with Pink Visual's attention to quality, and
I'm happy to say that I am pleased yet again. The video quality is up
there with the best you'll see on an Adult DVD. There were absolutely
no compression artifacts during the movie, nor any significant edge
enhancement. The color of the film was also excellent, and the flesh
tones all looked very realistic/crisp. Combine all that with sufficient
lighting and you have a technically solid DVD. The audio was the
standard 2.0 stereo, but much like the video its quality was excellent; and Loca Latina Sluts #3:  After watching this release the thing that really stands out is the
hotness of the girls. With Celina and Isis topping the list, this is
one of the best looking Latina casts I've ever seen. Combine that with
plenty of energetic, passionate, enthusiastic sex and you have a
quality DVD. This is one of those releases that will satisfy almost
every red-blooded male.  This release was presented in the usual 1.33:1 ratio full frame color,
as are most titles shot for Pink Visual. Much like their other adult
DVDs, the video quality up to their above-average standard. There was
only the slightest pixilation/edge enhancement present, and when there
was it was not enough to distract you. The color palette was very warm
and provided extremely lifelike hues. My one concern was the lack of
lighting; sometimes the scenes were just too damn dark!. Also,
considering the wide variety of backgrounds, the scenes all have a very
consistent look to them. The audio was in 2.0 stereo and sounded fine
with decent separation.

Wind Tunnel then gave us a few to consider with Schoolgirl POV:  New Sensations, producer of many great schoolgirl-inflicted titles,
finally presents the world with a POV title in combination with that
particular uniform fantasy, and I couldn't be more excited!  The gents
stay silent all the way through their scenes, allowing a true POV
experience to take over, though their hands do appear for all the
necessary groping one would expect.  This, of course, leads the
emphasis on the girls, who do their best to tease and please, and
produce winning results.  In what I hope is the beginning of a long-running series,  Schoolgirl POVoffers the greatest aspects of the particular combination of genres: 
straight-on camerawork, girls with the ability to expunge the highest
amount of returns on par with their skills, idol worship, and most
importantly, the fantasy of being the lucky stud who is fortunate to
fuck these girls in real life!  While it's not as scientific and exact
as most first-person showcases, the freedom the girls have to perform
for the camera and the overall execution lends a joyous, intense rush
throughout the whole movie, and one which I'm sure will be more than
welcome to both schoolgirl fanatics as well as lovers of POV-style
fucking.  It'll keep you cumming and cumming and coming back for more; and Teenstravaganza #5:  If you've had trouble keeping up with New Sensations' release flow (so much good stuff, so little time!), Teenstravaganza! #5is here to help you wade through it all.  Of course, it would help if
you preferred to see teen-ified ladies brimming with youth doing their
best to get you off, because at nearly five hours, you'll need the
strength to keep up!  This, the sixth volume in the Teenstravaganza! series, is filled with
great scenes, and even a few duds, but is definitely a good primer for
the other highly regarded releases from New Sensations, et al.  Jenna's
boobtastic voyage along the good ship Manuel was a definite highlight,
as was Tatiana's three-way and Jessica's smoking public service
schtupping.  Tori was pure dynamite, and I dug Ellie, despite her
questionable proclivities.  Alexis and Kat, already veterans, rocked my
socks off and across the room, and Julia's sopping ass was time well
spent.  All in all, a value of a one-stop shop release is relatively
high, though I couldn't recommend both the All Teens and Stuffin Young Muffins series enough, if this particular five hours of material just isn't enough.

Guy Incognito was next to give us a trio to think about with Big Naturals 2:  "a fun release that celebrates America's love with tits. You get a nice
collection of some fine ladies from Reality Kings' stable to star. Many
of them I wasn't familiar with beforehand. But, the lovely Brianna has
set my world on fire and now I'm a fan for life. Those dirty pillows
were meant to be bronzed and placed in the Louvre. Reality Kings is kicking my ass with the girls that they assembly for
these discs. If they could've just replaced the last girl, it would've
been perfection. But, they didn't and I'm left with my dick in my hand.
I hate when that happens. I always get into mischief with a handful of
dick and time to kill"; We Live Together. Com #3:  "an interesting release that carries on the great success of the We Live
Together site. Putting two experienced lesbians with the inexperienced
always leads to great fun. This release doesn't disappoint.  It is a fun release that keeps up the level of sexy women munching on box.
If you're familiar with the website, then you'll know that We Live
Together always delivers quality. I just wish that they could start
adding special features. If you love hot box munching action, then this
is your ticket. If not, then something's wrong with you?"; and Big Breast Amateur Girls #9:  another in a long line of amateur compilations from Homegrown. These
guys are impressing me with the collection of ladies they manage to
slam together for these quickie releases. The ninety minutes and done
routine works unusually well for these quick clips of four ladies with
large tits getting drilled. Sure, some other fans want to have a paper
thin story thrown on top. I just want to see titties flop and fly. It suffers from from being too short. But,
it's a problem that I'm glad to have. Homegrown Video knows what
they're doing with these tried and true releases that give the viewer
enough of a good thing without the overkill. I just wish they could
swap out the bonus scene with something new. I need new supplements,
people.

JJ Stalker joins in the choir about quality compilations with I Love Maya:  So before we go any further, the question you need to ask yourself is,
"Do I think Maya Hills is hot?" 
And the bottom line on this video is if your answer to this question is
yes, you should definitely check it out. If your answer is no, then you
should probably pass. 
The box cover has an unusual totally nude shot of Maya. It's soft and
glamoru, in sharp contrast to the filthy fucking this girl throws down
inside. 
It's a very nice shot. If you like Maya Hills, this is a very good video. And if you don't, why did you waste your time reading all of this? 
She looks generally super hot, and let's face it, this girl sucks and fucks like a champ.
My biggest disappointment was that with nine scenes, we didn't get
to see Maya take it in the pooper one single time. This girl does do
anal, and this compilation seemed incomplete without even one anal
scene.
I also felt that the earlier scenes were the hottest; and I Love Young Girls #2:  This teen flick is a 2-disc compilation of 9 scenes from a variety of New Sensations lines.
The total running time is over 4 1/2 hours.
The girls are cute and sex is generally good. In addition, the chaptering is well done in every scene.
I liked this vid. It has some solid girls in some solid scenes, and definitely some replay value for that reason.

We end this week's look at the top picks with the return of Ravyn as she gave us some insights to Penthouse's Latin Extasy:  Take a trip South of the Border Six anal scenes, all with the
raunchiest and most exotic Latin girls yet! Penthouse goes South of the
Border to spectacular locations to bring you the hottest sex - all shot
in HD including a BONUS ANAL SCENE totaling 120 minutes of pounding
action.  Penthouse gives you a first class ticket to the best Brazilian beaches,
the hottest Latin talent and the steamiest sex all done in two hours  
all shot in High Definition including a sizzling bonus anal  scene. For
those that cant make it to Brazil, Penthouse brings it to you and them 
some!  Penthouse's  Latin Extasy  is  much  different than the other  Latin
titles  directed  by  Jake  Jacobs. These one happens to  encourage the
ladies to  be   extreme   vocal in their native  tongue  which is a
turn on for many  man and  woman alike. There  was never a  lack of
chemistry  with the  performers  especially Tamiry  who really  brought
out the  intense  heat level all  around. Each of the ladies all  
natural looking with the right curves to match. For all you  men out
there that  enjoy watching the  latinas.. this is one to watch! Even
the clips  before  each  scene were fun to watch as they  gave some 
detials into who is lurking in the  shadows  watching the ladies..
Enjoy!!
