Spotlight Title: Swimsuit Calendar Girls

William H. Nutsack is one of my favorite directors these days, his work at Elegant Angel
often showing that his vision of what he finds appealing to be on the
same demented wavelength as my own. He appreciates women of all types
and likes to see them in sexy outfits, all oiled up, and rarely skips
showing them providing excellent tease performances before the sexual
encounters of his movies. His latest movie making it my way embodies
all those factors I admire about him, adding in an attempt to use only
top grade hotties and expand the range of the movie by adding in a
lesbian scene using two women that were well established on the
contract gal circuit until not long ago. The title name is Swimsuit Calendar Girls and as expected, the ladies all wore swimsuits that exposed their
precious assets to the sunny days they were shown enjoying themselves
for your stroking pleasure. Having barely nudged out a top notch Tom Byron flick and another from Nutsack starring Rebeca Linares, you know it had to be good! The cast included names like Gianna, Eva
Angelina, Amy Ried, Sophia Santi, Nina Mercedez, and fleshy newcomer
Abbey Brooks, so I knew I was in for a treat! It was on track to make it all the way to the top but it still showed the
director offering up highly appealing scenes meriting a rating of Highly Recommended.
The ending song was as funny as I've come to expect from the guy but
the casting was inspired in most cases and the attempts to try
something slightly different were appreciated, making this worthy of
starting a new series as far as I was concerned. In short, Swimsuit Calendar Girls was a top notch effort featuring hotties such as Gianna, Abbey Brooks,
Eva Angelina, and Amy Ried that most of you will find quite stimulating.

Sneak Peeks: Jack's POV 11 and Katsuni: Minx

Next month, Robby releases another of his point of view specials in the form of Jack's POV 11 (Hannah Harper),
focusing on Hannah as he did in the past for other ladies of merit. The
idea is straightforward enough; each scene has a male performer
engaging in sex with the ladies using point of view camera work, rarely
seen except as meat puppets but integral parts of the action by virtue
of their meaty members the ladies like to play with. By seeing the ladies in POV fashion, you can imagine yourself as the meat puppet boning them like you owned them, and with a cast as rich as this one, there was a lot of boning going on. While Hannah is no
Stoya or Teagan (the featured ladies of the last two volumes in the
series); she has long been a favorite for her beauty and anal antics,
giving this one an edge on many of the generic offerings on the
market these days. It had some very heated sex full of chemistry and came
across as worthy of being Recommended. If you like point of
view sex shot in the manner that Robby has long proven capable of
doing, you will probably find this to be a warm little bone-fest to
appreciate. In short, four out of five scenes had plenty to elevate the
replay and strokability of the show so heck it out next month and enjoy
yourself with the release of Jack's POV 11 (Hannah Harper).

Celeste is the female director at Digital Playground
known far and wide for her erotica series that use her impressions of
sexuality to fuel fantasies as shot by her main squeeze for thecompany. While he shoots increasingly hardcore gonzo styled titles, her
offerings rely less on the circus act sex or rough material than trying
to invoke a specific mood or feeling. Unlike so many in the industry,
she clearly loves women and wants to allow them the freedom to explore
what gets them off rather than strictly adhere to the formulas that are
so easy to shoot. As a result, she gets to put her name on flicks such
as Katsuni: Minx, a showcase look at the contract performer
that comes out next month. Katsuni is one of the rarest of ladies in
porn too, getting better with time and outlasting scores of the "flavor
of the month" performers that so many fans flocked to; showing a
staying power based as much on her nasty side as her femininity. She is
in three of the six scenes too, so fans will automatically want to pick
up a copy for their viewing pleasure. It was a title I could rate as Recommended even without prodding by
one of my female bed buddies since the lead was one of the best in the
business and the majority of scenes were well situated in terms of
their visual stroke appeal. In short, Katsuni: Minx was a
solid showcase for the lovely lady, one of her best in awhile as far as
I was concerned, but the other gals proved to live up to their roles
too.

Mailbag: Letters from our readers

"Pornfan writes: When I read your reviews, you add in a lot of information about the people or the company putting out the movie. Are they giving you the information to put in the review or are you selectively writing about certain things you know about?

Don Houston responds: I have a standing policy that if a company, director, performer, or other person involved in the making of a movie has something they'd like to add to a review, I will update the review with the information but when I do so, I always make it clear where the information is coming from. This isn't the same thing as when I read about a performer having trouble on a set, has been in the news for something, or makes an off the record comment to me via email but I try to ensure that they get a fair shake. Sometimes an industry type will engage outsiders in conversation on various forums and then backtrack their comments too; all of which is fair game when discussing their latest work. Also, by adding in personal anecdotes about a performer, the review is humanized in such a way that it recognizes the ladies are more than just meat sockets out to make a buck. As far as what comments are appropriate for a review, my standing policy is to play nice with people up to the point where they keep their discourse civil with me and I go well out of my way to include only information that pertains to the person and their work. They are always allowed room for a rebuttal but few have had the character to back up their anonymous rants in a public place.

Industry insider writes: You know little about the industry

and nothing about my life so why do you write so much hateful stuff and support the assholes that tried to fuck me over?

Don responds: The flip side to accusations of knowing too much are the people that suggest just the opposite, that you know little or nothing about them. One of the benefits of being a long term critic and an even longer time watcher of porn is that you build up a certain amount of knowledge on the topic. This doesn't mean you know exactly how much a performer was paid for a scene or that you know what they had for breakfast but it does raise the likelihood that you have heard plenty about them from well informed sources that have proven credible in the past. My experience with irate performers (male and female) is relatively minimal since most of them that read reviews, blogs, or forum comments know enough to take off hand remarks with a grain or two of salt. Those that have thin skin or are too sensitive to contrary opinions are in the wrong line of work; let's face it, many are attention whores that have the misconception that they can control the flow of information about their porn persona. Whatever shortcomings the industry might have, it's a business first, last, and always so having substantial experience in Capitalist America gives me a decided advantage to a high school drop out performer whose career life span is almost always measured in terms of months, several years if lucky. On top of that, most smart companies treat media reasonably well and my typically positive comments tend to build bridges that work both ways; meaning I get information from people "in the know" more often than a few performers want to believe. Heck, I had one fussing at me recently for parroting her own words, proving how forgetful some can be when their prescription runs out. Still, I support people and companies that have earned my trust and respect so if you have a contract dispute or think a director is an asshole because he didn't do things "your way", feel free to discuss it in the forums rather than try to kill the messenger. Thanks!

Confused writes: I try to keep up with all the porn stars and events in the industry but it is really tough to know who to believe. Do you have any suggestions about whose unbiased?

Don responds: Well, consider that most information you read on the internet is the result of someone with an axe to grind or product to sell; including those the porn industry. One of the tricks to figuring out who is telling the truth and who is trying to sell you a line of BS is to keep up with the various websites over time. AVN is a decent starting point as long as you keep in mind that they are a trade organization with the purpose of presenting the industry as a whole with a generally rosy face, many of their former employees populating gossip websites of varying quality. X-Biz is probably the most even-handed industry source of information these days but if you keep up with these two alone, you will be ahead of the curve in terms of reliable news and events that can be attributed to more than just speculation by those wanting to remain anonymous. Otherwise, many forums purport to have performers participating when it is just someone pretending to be them (or worse, a publicist/significant other) but remember that EVERY person is biased and as a result, so are the postings they make. As far as stars are concerned, there are almost no true "stars" in the industry, despite what marketing gurus will tell you, very few people known outside of the industry or small circle of dedicated porn lovers so at least it'll limit what you are searching for.

Highlights of The Week

Tom Byron
needs no introduction to porn connoisseurs given his longevity in the
business on both sides of the camera. Now that his company, Tom Byron Pictures,
has allied itself with Pleasure Productions, he has been getting the
word out that his form of depraved porn shows how much he favors the
ladies and doesn't need to rely on circus act sex as some of his peers
seem to these days. Given Tom's recent successes, I was pleased to see
the cast list for Lord of Asses 11 since it included August,
Delilah Strong, Annette Schwarz, and Brianna Love; all true anal
princesses worthy of admiration for their skilled performances in the
industry. The idea behind this series is to showcase anal sex and gals
with perfect asses so these four made the show what I call a "Sure
Thing", much like the mainstream movie by the same name starring John
Cusack. The cover even pointed out that this would not just be an ass
worship show but an anally flavored fuck fest so I was ready to dive
right in to enjoy it. It was an extremely solid movie and I rated it as Highly Recommended
based on the performances of Delilah Strong, Annette Schwarz, August,
and of course, Brianna Love but Tatiana showed some nice potential too.
The technical matters were a bit better than the last volume I reviewed
and the heat generated was really appreciated, proving that Tom has a
lot of staying power compared to many pretenders to his throne. In
short, Lord of Asses 11 raised the bar enough that I openly
wonder if Tom will be able to outdo himself next time or if he'll have
to retire the series, knowing full well that the former Houstonian
still has a few tricks up his sleeve so I'll be on the look out.

William H. Nutsack is currently one of my favorite gonzo directors and his work at Elegant Angelproves the adage that you have to see it to believe it. He has enough
technical skill to make most performers shine and his own deviant world
view manages to give us something decidedly different every time he
steps up to the plate to direct another gonzo fuck flick. While I
prefer his Big Wet Ass series over any of the others he shoots at this
time, he also makes some impressive showcase material, such being the
case with Rebeca Linares Raw where the hot young Latina was
given a lot of room to show the world why she is one of the top
performers in the jizz biz these days. Her fiery attitude, love of
hardcore sexual antics, and willingness to do it all has made her many
a fan in recent times, my limited conversations with her at conventions
reminding me of how innocent she can look but how absolutely perfect
she can be for porn too. Other gals have been given the spotlight of
late and this instantly became one of my favorites thanks to Rebeca
being in all six scenes (five in the movie as well as the bonus scene)
but also in top form as only Nutsack can give us. It had a wide range of quality scenes starring Rebeca Linares and at this
writing, it was her best showcase effort to date by far so I rated it
as Highly Recommended. There were some minor rough spots on the
technical stuff but hardly any worth mentioning, the extras and quality
of Rebeca's work this time serving to show she is quite ready to become
an even better known starlet from what I could tell. If you like
attractive, all natural brunettes that do it all and have fun doing so,
you really cannot go wrong with this one. In short, Rebeca Linares Raw was a very special tribute to a very special young lady that fans of
gonzo might want to check out to see just how nasty and passionate she
can be.

Jesse Jane
is the reigning porn queen of the industry these days according to most
accounts, traveling across the globe for appearances, a darling of the
mainstream media, and one of the most consistently appealing contract
performers around so it was with great pleasure that I picked up her
upcoming effort (that also featured hotty newcomer Stoya) a few days ago called Jesse Jane: Kiss Kiss Blu-Ray. The movie is another collection of erotic vignettes by director Celeste at Digital Playground,
providing two with Jesse including her first contact with muscular
Johnny Sins. There was a feel of the late 1960's in terms of the music
and mood of the settings but this was a modern porno all the way so I
am happy to announce that when it comes out at the end of next month, a
lot of you will be finding Celeste's version of porn more than merely
acceptable, you'll find it down right hot in many cases. Another point
to keep in mind for this version of the movie, the relatively sweet
looking blu-ray treatment added some significant miles to the show this
time because the audience that likes Celeste titles should really
appreciate the upgrade. It was a solid effort overall as three scenes really worked for me
and the others struck me as strokable but with better replay value
thanks to the enhanced resolution so I rated it as Highly Recommended
if you're a big fan of the cast. Jesse was true to form and Stoya
continues to prove she is a delight, Celeste's approach offering
something rarely seen in the vignettes of her peers in terms of the
amounts of chemistry typically displayed. In short, Jesse Jane: Kiss Kiss Blu-Ray wasn't perfect but it was a suitable gift for any couples you might
know that enjoy porn with both sexes in mind, the relative lack of
extras made up for by the generous length of the movie overall. Also
keep in mind that this was one of the director's best looking titles to
date thanks to the blu-ray resolution provided; a step up from older
titles remastered since it was shot with blu-ray in mind.

Cyrus Cobain has been a production assistant for some time now, best known for his work as cameraman on the Pussy Party series but now directing at New Sensations. His recent release of The 4 Finger Club #25
was my first exposure to his taking the helm and having watched this
series from the very beginning, I knew what to expect and now I'm
looking at the sequel, The 4 Finger Club #26, advertised as one
of the first scenes by lovely Sophia Santi now that she is no longer
under contract to Digital Playground. The concept of the series is to
show lesbian sex where all the ladies took at least 4 fingers at the
same time inside their pussy, admittedly a dated idea given some of the
extreme objects ladies have been taking inside their cookies in recent
years (check out most Belladonna movies for example). The pairings have
often been hit or miss in the series as far as I have been concerned
though, the expediency of finding performers that don't flake as
important as any attempts at providing chemistry or enthusiastic
lesbians that aren't merely "gay for pay". It was one of the best the series had to offer and much of that appeared
to be the result of the ladies more into each other than usual so I
rated it as a Recommended. There was definitely some appeal to
the theme but the key factor finding ladies that wanted to get off with
each other. In short, The 4 Finger Club #26 delivered the
advertised four finger action in each case but the rest of the sexual
material was better than average so it was a step up from what I've
come to expect of the series. In short, The 4 Finger Club #26, like The 4 Finger Club #25
before it, had plenty of stroke value for fans of lesbian action even
the lovely Sophia Santi helping to elevate it above the pack of
pretenders to the throne.

Jimmy D. has been one of my favorite directors in porn for many years, recently hooking up with Teravision
to provide the company with his superior technical skills as a means of
assisting the rest of the staff help see their creative visions
through. While some of the past efforts by the staff directors have
been very visually creative, the technical matters often suffered as a
result of them lacking experience, making Jimmy's assistance all the
more important to help elevate their movies into the area where many of
us would like them to be. Jimmy's first credited directing job for the
company to make it my way is also their second foray into the world of
high definition, the movie called Sasha Grey's Anatomy (Blu-Ray).
I purposely avoided reading up about the movie during its production in
order to avoid spoiling the result of my observations, not wanting my
appreciation of Jimmy's past efforts to color my idea of what he did
here. That said, anyone that is unfamiliar with Sasha Grey, the AVN
Performer of the Year for 2008, has probably been living in a cave
given the sheer amount of press the gal has received. While she is not
my top pick as a hotty, she certainly impressed a lot of fans with her
knob slobbing skills, hardcore antics, and general physical and mental
appeal so promoting her as the lead of the movie seems to make sense. It was not the most complete package for a fan to appreciate but given
time, the better extras will come along (at least they were displayed
in high definition here) and the movie itself could have used Sasha
Grey to fuller effect. Still, the upgraded visual elements of the movie
combined with Jimmy's technical expertise added a few levels to the
show, making it worthy of being Recommended even if I was left wanting more. In short, Sasha Grey's Anatomy (Blu-Ray) was a lot like early DVD efforts in terms of showing the potential of
the Blu-Ray format while not giving the consumer as much as it could
have; making me interested in what the company will come up with next
at the hands of the auteur director.

Manuel Ferrara
has been very busy over the last year, working increasingly for other
companies as a performer while still releasing the titles he directs at
Evil Angel.
While most of the industry has cut back significantly, this immediately
raises concerns that his product line isn't selling as well, though
regrouping strikes me as a better way of putting it given the cutbacks
noticed on Fucked On Sight 4; the sequel to Fucked On Sight 3.
The movie is the latest point of view release by the studly director
where he meets, greets, treats, then meats a variety of ladies with a
diverse background. While the movie is only a single disc effort and
had minimal extras, the guy is still Manuel "fricking" Ferrara and
anyone that knows the ladies in porn, knows they get really hot about
loving this guy so I figured it would still be a decent effort on his
part. It showed all the ladies wanting to work with the director and enjoying
themselves as a result though a few of them were not at their very best
(perhaps self conscious about wanting to work with him so badly) so I
rated it as Recommended. The extras took a hit and the
technical matters were not quite as advanced as I would have hoped for
but Manuel still managed to prove he had what it took on both sides of
the camera. In short, Fucked On Sight 4 might not have had as much value as Fucked On Sight 3 but it was still more than enough to earn some praise for a solid set of scenes.

I've been a fan of Tristan Taormino
for some time now, the lovely young lady one of the most positive
people I have met in the porn industry. As a writer, director,
producer, columnist, and educator, Tristan is one of the few people
associated with the industry that has made a contribution to the public
consciousness over the years, in ways far surpassing the sexual
athleticism you find in most adult titles released today. Her latest
educational release is a first in the sense that it is also out in the
Blu-Ray format most high end consumers have adopted, a title called Tristan Taormino's Expert Guide to the G Spot (Blu-Ray).
Having a bit of experience with tracking down the elusive Grafenberg
Spot with partners myself, it is always good to see intelligent
discussion expanding the public knowledge of advanced sexual practices,
if for no other reason, it increases the chances that future partners
of mine will be up to speed when we hit the sack (without them
literally hitting me in the ball sack for trying something they've
never heard of). It was another title worthy of your collection if you want to embrace a
full, complete sex life free of inhibitions and ignorance. The upgrade
to the high definition Blu-Ray will depend on how life like you prefer
your porn ladies but I thought a rating of Recommended was
reasonable given the relative lack of pure sexual stroking pleasure. If
you are in the market for an instructional movie dealing with the
G-Spot though, you probably wouldn't find anything better. In short, Tristan Taormino's Expert Guide to the G Spot (Blu-Ray) was another in her series of educational flicks that will serve to
build her fan base as she continues her quest to get large numbers of
people off.

Justin Slayer might no longer be distributed by Evil Angel
but over the years, I grew quite fond of his movies thanks to his
devotion to the ladies backsides. Quite frankly, you can still pick up any of his works to date and know for a fact that Justin will be paying tribute to the ass in the form of tease, camera time, and all sorts of kinky sex, making even his lesser titles worth checking out. I'm not sure how many titles, if any,
remain on the company's release list but I grabbed the last one on it
the other day to get a heaping helping of culo hospitality in the form
of Mami Culo Grande 6: Special Extended Set, the sequel to Mami Culo Grande 5 that was admittedly not his best effort to date. It was another title heavy on tease that really worked and the bonus
features, including the orgy and BTS that I was so fond of, helped prop
this one up to the level of Recommended, despite some weaker
performances in select scenes. Justin helped get the kind of strokable
footage with enough replay to warrant the rating but this was still not
his best work to date, a few too many of the ladies camera shy or
otherwise self conscious. In short, Mami Culo Grande 6: Special Extended Set was better than Mami Culo Grande 5 and I hope the series continues under another banner now that the award winning director has moved on.

One of the leading companies subscribing to the contract system is
Digital Playground, having propelled itself ahead of the majority of
the competition by wisely selecting a stable of gals that all addressed
different needs; balancing out the ladies who only do other women with
the vixens that jump anyone short of porn reviewers, to those that
freely do anal as a means to get off. Just like the comedy feature
field is ripe for someone to poke fun at reviewers, several years back,
Robby D. joined forces with talented Joey Pulgadas to make a cute send
up to the contract system with Contract Star Blu-Ray. The movie
follows the exploits of Evan Stone and Eric Masterson as they seek to
win a small fortune (to them) by providing their employer, a well known
company patterned after Digital Playground, with the next contract gal.
The silly angle of the show was that the guys were required to act like
Mexican's (as were the gals) but only the most politically correct of
you will find the parodies offensive since they were so exaggerated. For Jesse's scenes alone (all THREE of them!!!), I'd have rated this one as at least Recommended,
but Teagan was well worth watching too. The humor was decent (Robby
seems to be able to pull off comedy better than most in porn) and the
production values were a nice improvement over the majority of what's
on the market. All of the gals looked good though and while I think it
may be a while before Teagan finds her niche at the company, I think
her contract will prove a very good business move by all concerned. She
adds a bit of spice that Jesse has yet to show (Teagan's hardcore past)
but their roles were certainly reversed in this movie. Contract Star Blu-Ray certainly managed to impress me with all it had to offer, although I'd
have appreciated a bit more sex in the feature since the running time
was under 90 minutes. Regardless, it was a great way to see both Jesse
and Teagan together and I hope future outings will be even more
explicit. As an update for the Blu-Ray version of the movie, the
enhancements did add something to the mix, particularly the visual
elements, and now that Teagan is actively self employed, this blast
from the past certainly takes on a whole new meaning. I loved her booty
shorts hugging that curvy, perfect ass of hers but this is the Teagan
of old so many of her fans may appreciate her in high definition even
more.

Brazzers
is one of those internet companies that shoots a lot of scenes for
their website and later releases them on DVD, that supposedly "dying
format" that I insist has plenty of mileage left in it. From what I
gathered at the recent AEE, the company has a big emphasis on large
breasts (real or fake) in their works, making it a good place for fans
to check out. The first DVD of theirs sent to me to review is Pornstars Like It Big 2,
a second collection of their web-scenes on DVD that included five in
the movie and another as a bonus. Seeing some of the big names on the
marquee, I felt it was a nice selection so I gave it a look. The cover
said this of the scenes: "Eva, Audrey, & Mikayla: The Evil Porn
Sisters and their hunger for big cock is spreading fear in the adult
entertainment industry. This looks like a mission for secret agent Ben
English and his legendary 10 inch cock! Cody Lane: There is a situation
in the Big Dick Agency with the lack of big cock talent in the
industry. Agent Lane was called to retrieve big cock talent Jordan.
Before taking him in, she had to feel his big cock inside her. Puma
Swede: This sexy secret agent is after Justice, the toughest big dick
in the business. Watch her apprehend the huge monster cock and fuck it
until she cums all over it! Brooke Belle: This super hot babe is sick
of dealing with small cocks at work. She goes for a relaxing massage to
get her mind off of it. That's when she runs into Criss, who offers her
the super stoker treatment with his huge cock! Savannah Gold: Savannah
went to her yoga class to release some tension, when she noticed her
yoga instructor's big dick! She knew she had to have his big muscle to
stretch out her tight pussy!" It was a mixed bag in terms of quality scenes with three of them really
well done, another well done for the performer's abilities, and the
other two very hit or miss so I rated it as Recommended. It
might have been partially related to the directors involved in the
scenes or the outgoing nature of some performers but as I described
above, the scenes often looked better than bigger name website
offerings so you might want to check this one out. In short, Pornstars Like It Big 2 had a lot of large titties, curvy rumps, and balls out boning so pick
up a copy and you will likely find it to have a lot of replay and
stroke value.

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 hooking fans of Alexis Texas with I Love Alexis Texas: Special Collector's Edition,
a set of 6 lengthy scenes that fans will appreciate as much as any of
the other offerings in the series. The cover said it like this: "God
damn, she's got a nice ass! That's right! Alexis Texas is now the
newest addition to the I Love series and she's packing some serious
ass. We've put together six of her hottest scenes that will have you
creaming more than you can ever imagine. Watch her booty get slapped
and her cootie get slapped as we bounce that bubble butt on a cock like
a pair of basketballs. With an ass this nice, it's no surprise that
everybody loves Alexis Texas!" It was a nicely handled set of six scenes starring the attractive young
performer, a wider variety than usual thanks to her lesbian work 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 Alexis Texas
fuck for the buck than you are likely to find most anywhere else on the
market outside of a couple titles I reviewed not long ago. In short, I Love Alexis Texas: Special Collector's Edition will appeal to her fans a whole lot (for them, this is a "must have" if
they don't have all the movies listed) 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.

In Teravision's House of Sex & Domination five ladies give into
their submissive side and learn how the other side plays. From
clothespin to vibes and even hooks placed up their ass, these ladies
get it as good as they have given it to others in the business world.
This movie contains interracial, anal sex, uniforms, bondage, spanking,
squirting, and domination. From the first time I saw Sasha Grey in TeraVision's "Broken" I knew
right off the bat that there was a freak deep inside of her. Sasha
plays the role of a submissive all too well indulging in the carnal
pleasures many enjoy in the D/s lifestyle. One has to give her props
when she endures both pain and pleasure when clothespins are attached
to her nipples and her pussy lips. Flower Tucci equally impressed me. I
have heard and read so much about her that watching her in action was
enjoyable. I had hubby watching it with me and he too was
impressed that she was sort of a big gal with excellent curves and
an ass that any man would love to do some serious pounding to it.
The other ladies out did themselves as well...especially Audrey
Hollander who shares the cover with Sasha Grey. I will never be able to
look at the exam table at the Gyn the same way ever again. Narrated by
Veronica Hart, Fetish lovers are sure to enjoy House of Sex &
Domination.

After a lengthy hiatus, Porn Princess returned to the fold with a couple of titles you might care to know about including; Naughty Office 11: I'm a fan of the Naughty America sites. They do a good job of getting
some of the hottest girls in the industry to come in and do scenes for
them. The two biggest highlights on this disc are Adrenalynn's scene
and the Penny Flame scene. There a couple downsides to Naughty America
DVDs in general though. One of those being the lack of chapters, most
DVDs now break the scene into chapters based on position. Naughty
America on the other hand breaks it down by opening, oral, sex and pop
shot. Nothing wrong with that but it can become a little annoying. The
other thing is the lack of extras. Again this isn't really their fault
though because they are primarily a group of sites so they are not a
studio that was meant to produce DVDs; and Lucky Lesbians #3: Being that I am very much bi I love watching all girl porn. Silver
Sinema does a good job here with some top flight talent. The production
dates for these scenes go from late 2007 to mid 2006. So it is hard to
know whether or not Jana and Ava were under contract at the times of
their scenes. I would assume not because contract girls do not
generally get permission to shoot with other companies but it has been
known to happen. Anyway this movie was really good especially if you
like lesbian porn.

Reviewer Addison DeLick offered up I Love Lexi as a top title: Adorable from head to toe, fair-skinned blonde Lexi Belle deservedly gets the showcase treatment with this collection of six
scenes from her young career (all dating from 2007). Young-looking and
possessing the devastating combination of an extremely pretty face, a
flawless natural body and a demeanor alternately sweet and nasty, she's
a star. I Love Lexi indeed. New Sensations' DVD captures as much of
Lexi as any fan could want, but the disc is weak in bonus material.
All the scenes here, culled from various earlier titles, are crisply
shot on video and nicely captured from all angles. Scene 5 is in 4x3
full screen, but all the others are in 16x9 widescreen, presented in letterbox format on rectangular screens (i.e., the picture is
surrounded by black bars). The simple stereo sound is adequate for

capturing the occasional background music, the brief amount of dialogue
and the abundant moans of "Fuck me!", "Oh my God!" and "Fuck! Fuck!
Fuck!"
The main program is the thing here, a selection of previously released
scenes featuring pretty newcomer Lexi Belle. She doesn't engage in
anything extreme (no anal, for instance), but she is young,
sweet-looking and sexually energetic -- the whole porn package. The DVD
extras, unfortunately, are negligible. Still ... Lexi deserves your
love.

Our resident expert on alt-porn and classics, The Mooninite, then provided a wealth of love to titles such as Star Fuckers: Yet another recent compilation or 'greatest hits' package from VCX's sizeable library of classic filth, Star Fuckers doesn't really have a recurring theme like other recent releases in this line like Forbidden Lolitas or Sex Slaves Of Satan.
Instead, it's simply a collection of high quality scenes from the days
or porno past starring some of the era's biggest stars. A surprisingly hot collection of vintage clips, Star Fuckers is a worthy addition to anyone interested in seventies porn or anyone just looking for some good, hot sex scenes; John Holmes' Extreme Facials: John Holmes remains the most recognizable male porn star years after
his death and while the years haven't been kind to some of his films,
much of it still holds up. VCX has dug deep into their vaults and
pulled together a nice compilation of Holmes' work for their company
and assembled a greatest hits package. If you're a John Holmes fan and don't already own the features that
these scenes were snipped from then this is an easy and affordable way
to fill a void in your collection. The video quality is acceptable as
is the audio and if more extras would have been welcome, well, at least
the content is solid; Jesse Jane Scream (Blu-Ray): Celeste puts Jesse in the spotlight for this latest Screamentry. It plays out like a haunted house picture with some fun horror
movie and exploitation film elements thrown into the plot that follows
Jesse and her exploits in a run down house. As people enter the house,
strange things start to happen, and of course, it's really all just an
excuse for the stars to fuck. Jesse Jane: Scream is a fun, and more importantly, steamy porno with a plot that entertains and arouses with tongue placed firmly in cheek; Fuck Me in the Bathroom Part Deux: Joanna Angel headlines this Burning Angel release that teams her up
with four of her friends for five scenes of sex that take place
entirely in bathrooms! A popular place for quickies throughout history,
the bathroom isn't necessarily the cleanest place for a fast fuck but
they can certainly be convenient when the urge hits. The lengthy feature and the wealth of extras give this release a lot of
value. On top of that, and more importantly, the sex is hot throughout; and Matt Zane's Radium 2 mixes up metal and porn with some decent
results. The focus is obviously on the sex but in between each of the
four scenes on this DVD we're treated to a music video from bands like
Ill Nino, In This Moment and Society I. There isn't a plot of any kind
but they do mix it up a bit by including some interviews and the
videos, so bonus points for creativity there. Each of the four scenes on this disc start off with an interview
segment where the girls talk about music and sex with some of the
bands, and then a tease sequence where they strut for the camera and
show off what the Good Lord gave them. Radium 2 is geared towards metalheads so how much you get out of
the non-sex portions of the movie will depend on how into the music you
are. That sex, the sex is hot and the girls all look very nice from
start to finish, making this more accessible than it would be otherwise
and as such, it's worth a look to the curious.

The infamous Wind Tunnel also found a few worth discussing in Girls Get Hot: It features two extended scenes of glorious girl on girl action, both
featuring the lovely Violet in tandem with her succulent partners
Fotina and Chloe B. As with other Abby Winters titles, the ladies are
all-natural and lightly tomboyish, with enough curves and gumption to
kick out most of porn valley's more stereotypical starlets out to Santa
Catalina. This being the more hands-on of the dueling Abby Winters
material, it's a no-holds-barred affair, and, well, we're all the
better for it!
As far as the Abby Winters canon goes, Girls Get Hot will either be your saving grace or your evil doppelganger (okay, not
quite that bad). But fans of Violet will revel in her domination over
this title, though I much prefer the somewhat stepped-on performance by
Chloe B., instead. Violet spins a good yarn, any way you choose to
shoot it, and her hunger and gall throughout the disc is possibly her
greatest skill and attribute, cute as she very well is and can be. But
for new discoverers of the company's flow, I would recommend any of the
other similar-mined titles for comparable results, especially as the
technical flaws and overall length seems to be on a lower scale than
most of the company's more stunning releases. Still, the jewels, as
dusty as they are, are no less sparkling, and that, perhaps is what
truly counts; and Wasted Youth 6: With a strong emphasis on the age-appropriate appeal that the title promises, Wasted Youth 6 continues Red Light's excursions into a heavy hitting amount of flower
plucking that leaves each girl, well, wasted! Each scene is
one-on-one, with the exception of Nika's smoothing out of two dongs in
shifts and turns. While I'm sure it wouldn't tip anyone from dropping out of school, Wasted Youth 6 surveys
the perky landscape of cute and horny (is there any other kind),
plowing through the fields with an understandable amount of zest and
down-home, meat & potatoes perversion. Kristina, with all her
huffs and strains to keep sane amidst Michael's coital battery, is the
true standout here, with Nika and Kacey following her smutty lead into
fab territory. And while Estrella's slight reticence may throw a few
viewers off, her honed skills more than compensate for it (even if her
mood seems to sway only slightly by the end), and Dakoda's soft amount
of apathy, in addition, keep the recommendation below the high
watermark. However, despite these few flaws, there is much to enjoy,
and I'd be a fool not to think so. And I think so!

We end this week's look at the top picks with Harry Johnson's review of Raw Passion: So many things are better when they're raw aren't they? Passion just
happens to be one of them and the first installment of Raw Passion is a
very promising release. With hot performers such as Loon Luzz, Camryn
Kiss, and Lana Violet this one offers a lot of nice action that will
titillate the senses. The five scenes included here feature better than
average sex with quite a lot of anal and multiple female orgasms. Your
mileage may vary with this release and there's very little different
with what's going on here than your typical release. Even though it's
mostly vanilla sex the action is solid and it's definitely worth
checking out. Raw Passion is a success for director Tyrone Shuz. The five scenes here
feature better than average, if not great, sex that is a cut above the
typical release. If the rest of this series follows through with this
kind of quality then you're looking at a very viable franchise for
Digital Sin. The cover promises over two hours of anal and intense sex.
While I'm not sure it fully delivers the "intensity" or amount of
"anal" you'd expect from that label the quality of this release is
quite good. Check it out if you're looking for something a little off
the beaten path.
