Will Ryder
is one of my favorite people in the porn industry these days,
frequently outgunning his competition using creativity instead of
throwing money at his projects, the best of which have been comedic
parodies of contemporary pop musicians or sitcoms I enjoyed decades
ago. While the economic picture is grim for many of us these days,
Will's work at X-Play
eschews negativity in favor of light, happy messages that people can
identify with, complete with award winning casts guaranteed to boost
sales of his projects distributed by Hustler Video. The latest such project is the long awaited Not the Bradys XXX: Marcia Marcia Marcia, the sequel to last year's Not the Bradys XXX
that still outsells many high end releases. With a few casting changes,
most notably replacing Hillary Scott with lovely Teagan Presley and
Leah Luv with Kacey Jordan, the creative team led by Ryder made another
classy homage to the original television show, this time focusing on
Marcia's (Teagan) devotion to her pop music idol Danny Jones (Evan
Stone). The spoof was technically better than the first volume and had
a lot to like despite some minor rough edges, the sex focusing more on
the youthful antics of the "kids" than the adults this time (though
Gina Lynn and Sienna West smoked the screen with their fiery
performances). It was a lot of fun and should sell like crazy given the popularity of the
concept. The casting, the writing, and the technical values all
provided ample reasons to impress newcomers to porn that this was not
just another splooge-fest offering in the gonzo realm that dominates
the market but a title you can share with that someone special and not
feel nearly as embarrassed as you might otherwise. The levels of fuck
for the buck, solid extras, and sweet casting all resulted in my rating
the show as Highly Recommended. I watched it three times, once
with someone that initially proclaimed she "hated porn" yet found the
movie a lot better than expected (telling me she would watch "anything"
released by the same guys if this was the kind of show it would be),
and it grew on me with repeated viewings so I can attest to the replay
value as superior even if the sex itself was not the sexual athletic
style so often displayed by the gonzo companies. In short, Not the Bradys XXX: Marcia Marcia Marcia might not have been as much of a hit as Not the Bradys XXX
for me (sequels rarely offer a viewer the surprise factor of the
original even when done this well) but I suspect the director and his
partner will be laughing all the way to the bank given the way this one
shined compared to other parody efforts.
Robby D. has long been the leading director/cameraman at Digital Playground,
his position there mimicked by others in the field as the "go to"
person so as part of a means to keep him happy, the company allowed him
to form an offshoot project with Handheld Pictures;
a place where he wasn't quite as bound by the established rules and
could chase the kind of porn he wanted to make with more freedom. Just
before Christmas this year, he will offer his latest tribute to hotty
women that show an aptitude for oral loving in the form of Sticky Sweet,
with six scenes of sexual action bound to please even the most jaded
fans out there. The clever cover quips: "Melts in your mouth AND on
your cock" so this "Robbie D. treat" proved he could successfully
navigate a production without an abundance of contract performers, a
few of them looking fit to be groomed as such an aside. It managed to show more oral sex than usual without getting bogged down in
the oral only action similar releases do all too often and the ladies
were all attractive so I rated the movie as Recommended. The
mixture of so many types of attractive ladies with oral inclinations
was a pleasant surprise but surprises are why fans have been checking
out Handheld Pictures with increasing frequency; the company a place
where they have learned to expect the unexpected. In short, Sticky Sweet was true to form as the sweet looking ladies got all sticky in their
efforts to get off, the technical values making them look all the
better at the hands of the talented director.
Gabriella Fox is the busty brunette contract performer for Digital Playground
hired earlier this year. Her looks, attitude, and all-round appeal have
already started people asking about where she will fit in at the award
winning company as well as what type of projects will she be shooting
for the infamous Robby D.. Well, 2008 was just a warm-up for the young lady and early next year she will continue her ascent to fame with Gabriella Fox Nude,
a vignette driven release starring the lady. Using equal amounts of
artistic style and heated sexuality, the director presented six diverse
young ladies, sadly only using Gabriella one time but rather than take
a gonzo approach, it used what Robby called "moments" (as in moments of
time) where the couples connected with one another while exploring some
encapsulated fragments of pure heat, a running thread of domination
employed most of the time. It could have had more scenes showcasing lovely Gabriella Fox
but she led the impressive cast of under appreciated beauties in a
series of strokable scenes with significant replay value, the levels of
fuck for the buck enough to merit a rating of at least a Recommended
from me. Gabriella has yet to emerge as a starlet fully displaying her
potential but one look at her and fans seem stricken by her beauty so
2009 will likely be her breakout year. In short, the technical values
and aesthetics of Gabriella Fox Nude will make this title a
delightful little strokefest for connoisseurs to appreciate next year
when it is released, my belief being that the Blu-ray version will be
even better thanks to the manner in which the visuals are enhanced
under the format so give this one a look and have some fun.
Brother Love shoots various titles for the affiliates of Shane's World
these days, bringing with him a wide assortment of experience that I
have praised in the past. One of his personal fetishes is CBT (cock and
ball torture) where ladies kick his gonads, manhandle them, slap them,
and do a variety of nasty things that always manages to make me wince.
As I have often said, the best projects a creative personality can
latch onto would be those that most interest them so I braced myself to
review First Time Ball Busters 2 , having missed out on the
first volume of the series. The object of each scene was clear from the
beginning that the ladies would beat the snot out of Brother's balls,
each applying some painful techniques that I swear nearly made me cry a
few times watching my pal getting pounded in all the wrong places. I
know he likes this kind of thing but my empathy was running on
overdrive by the time I finished up here, remembering key lines like
one of the ladies asking him; "If they pop, is it going to get very
messy?" With eight scenes and nearly three hours of ball bashing POV
action (each scene ending with a facial or chest pop), this was
decidedly a hit or miss effort depending on your personal appreciation
for CBT action courtesy of Brother Love, my belief being this labor of
love (pun intended) was the best of its kind to date. It is one of those movies that you will either love or hate with little
middle ground. If you enjoy CBT movies, you probably won't find
anything better and if you like circus act sex, there was plenty of it
here but if you find this kind of thing abhorrent, you should shy away
from it. For the spectacle of the action alone, it merited a rating of Recommended though again, I caution you that fans of pain should consider this a "must have". In short, First Time Ball Busters 2 did seem to have a number of attractive women that were not really new
to busting balls but given the dedication shown by the director in his
quest to get off via pain, you will probably find this a guilty
pleasure to say the least so check it out.
There was a time when a lot of raincoaters used to fuss at Digital Playground
for providing the weakest of porn; suggesting that what the company
made was not only practically cable ready but too light even for
couples to enjoy. Well, over the last several years, director Robby D.
has seemingly set out on a mission to change that perception by
offering some of the hardest action available without the need to rely
on circus act sex or other silly antics to help you get off. His latest
title in this area is the newly released Ass Addiction Blu-ray,
starring some of the finest ladies ever to grace a porno; each of which
has a substantial following from what I've seen online. Unlike other
releases by a variety of companies that lead you to believe the action
will contain one thing and then let you down, each gal in the movie did
some hardcore bareback anal, most of them showing the kind of
enthusiasm you want to see in your porn. It was definitely what I needed as my fix for the week in terms of anal
sex. The ladies were all well versed in their field, provided ample
anal escapades to enjoy, and the technical values were quite well
handled. There was no thematic sidetracking going on (none of the
"Jack" humor in particular) and fans of straightforward anal sex will
find this latest release from Robby's Handheld Pictures company to be
the "gold" he always talks about providing. The level of fuck for the
buck was well above average and the replay value was matched only by
the chemistry most of the cast showed so I rated this one as Recommended. The detractors of the company can rest assured that Ass Addiction Blu-ray was as well handled a piece of work as they're likely to see; something
even I would have scoffed at a short time ago. In short, Robby has
proven he can do it all, and do it well, proving his chameleon-like
ability to offer up all kinds of porn for the masses. One thing to note
as well, the enhanced resolution of this BR version really added
something to the project and while the audio was not equally enhanced,
the added value will appeal to fans of the technology used.
If you've been living under a rock for the last few years, you
might be one of the few people unaware of a stylish new director by the
name of Celeste.
No, she's not the former contract performer for Vivid Entertainment; in
fact, she used to go under the name Bunny Luv (a seriously cute young
lady). Nowadays, she teams up with Robby Dallas
(in more ways than one) to offer a stylish form of porn designed less
for jaded old porn hounds like myself than for couples or those of you
who don't like the churn them out process most companies fixate on.Using slow motion, a wide variety of music, and a lack of vocals (many
of you tell me this is preferable over the fake moans too often used in
porn), Celeste showcases talented females in a manner designed to
appeal to a larger audience than the circus act sex porn is known for
these days. Her latest title is Hot Rod For Sinners Blu-ray, a recently released set of vignettes starring the fabulously beautiful Jana Cova. There was also a few heated guest appearances by superstar Jesse Jane as well, but Jana dominated the screen in almost every scene she was in. It served much like Porcelain
in terms of promoting the lovely Jana Cova, a Czech Republic gal that
I'm admittedly smitten with. I'll be the first to say that I long to
see her working with men, preferably me of course, but just like I've
long appreciated the lovely Janine
(who had recently started doing men again on camera when this came out in SD), I can appreciate the
lesbian action Jana offers up for the camera a lot. The technical
matters are the same general style Celeste movies are known for but the
movie was worth a rating of Recommended by me, and nearly came
in a notch higher, for the amount of fuck for the buck this DVD package
offered up. If you like seeing Jana Cova in action though, this was the
best you'll find given the sheer quantity of her work in the production
(she was in nine of the ten scenes). In short, Hot Rod For Sinners Blu-ray was a delightfully enriching experience that provided great replay
value, superior technical factors, and more Jana Cova than you could've
hoped for. I might've preferred fewer but longer scenes but each of
them served as potential starting points for real life action with a
porn-shy partner, a factor not lost on this reviewer (and fan of Jana).
Sid Knox is the capable director over at Diabolic
that fills whatever niche is needed when he shoots his titles, always
willing to earn his keep by capturing sex scenes for the rest of us topleasure ourselves with. The latest work of his making it my way came
in the form of Girls Will Be Girls 4 with both the standard
definition version as well as the Blu-ray high definition version sent
to allow me to compare the two against one another. For those
unfamiliar with the series, it pairs off two ladies together to have
heated lesbian sex, some toy use and lots of oral involved to make sure
they get off. There were no storylines and little dialogue outside of
the general moans you might expect from such a title, a few of the
pairings going beyond the "gay for pay" or "lipstick lesbian" approach
so common in the genre. It might not have been his best work to date but it was certainly worth a rating of Recommended
for those of you that like lesbian light play with toys included as a
regular event. The technical values of the high definition Blu-ray
version impressed me most on my big screen television just as the value
of the standard definition was pleasing to me (coming in at under half
the price) but if you are properly equipped, try the high definition
version to see why so many people are converting. In short, Girls Will Be Girls 4played up the lipstick lesbian angle more than a little but some of the
ladies were definitely into gals more than men so give it a look in
either version to see why I liked it so much.
Mike Quasar
has been around porn longer than most people reading this review if you
hear him talk about it. The award winning director has been something
of a fixture in the industry and is currently the leading
director/lighting expert/editing guru/cameraman at Zero Tolerance,usually working on all of the productions there to help make them
better than they would otherwise be. Well, someone at the company must
have gotten wind that Xcritic was really pushing Blu-ray titles and as
big fans of Mike's for years, I always like seeing the kind of smut he
is up to, so they sent an older title our way called Courtney's Chain Gang (Blu-ray) .
The gimmick of this gonzo was that there were three lengthy scenes
lasting about 40 minutes each, allowing a single showcase lady to share
the limelight with a herd of other cast members, the leads being Alexis
Texas, Courtney Cummz, and Eva Angelina. They masturbate, do some
lesbian work, and then proceed to do men in various positions before
they finish up their exhausting antics. It was a decent looking high definition title that served as a fair visual
upgrade from the original version more of you might have encountered
earlier this year so I rated it as Recommended. I came close to
rating it even higher but the modest extras and upgrade came at such a
high price that even a fan of the three leads here such as myself
couldn't do it in good faith in these hard economic times but all three
ladies were smoking hot to say the least. In short, Courtney's Chain Gang (Blu-ray) was a high definition title you might truly enjoy if you like seeing
women doing all sorts of action, especially women like Alexis Texas,
Eva Angelina, and Courtney Cummz.
Jonalungus
is one of the best guerilla directors in porn from what I've seen of
his work, his ability to shoot under the most extreme conditions making
him the perfect choice to shoot internet scenes on the fly, outrunning
the cops and livening things up more often than not. Jonas' scenes can
be seen online at a variety of websites or you can see them compiled by
companies such as Hush Hush Entertainment
on DVD, most fans of internet porn probably having a good idea of who
he is. While I haven't seen nearly enough of his work lately, I found Invasion of the MILFs: High Score to be one of the more interesting double disc MILF sets that I've seen
in awhile, the familiar setup of a slacker acting lame so older women
would take advantage of him portrayed in every one of the ten scenes
here. It earned a rating of Recommended from me due to the adherence of
the concept where the younger men would get some MILF action, ladies
like Alana Evans, Devon Lee, TJ Hart, Carolyn Reese, and Aline striking
me as the best of the batch in terms of overall performances. In short,Invasion of the MILFs: High Score might not have been the best
DVD collection of internet scenes from the talented young director but
the value alone should make most of his fans happy he is still plugging
away behind the camera to get the footage we all crave.
Apache Warrior stepped up to the plate this week with several titles such as Seasoned Players 7: a part of his successful Seasoned Players series.
He enjoys working with mature women and that could be because he is a
seasoned player as well. A signature part of this series is the
interview at the beginning of each scene. It is shot in front of his
pool. Tom Byron is an actress' director which means that he tries to
make his ladies look like the star and he listens to what they like and
don't like. Some women do not want to perform anal and he is cool with
their decision. He realizes that it is important to make his partners
feel happy and respected; Mommy Got Boobs Volume 3: a fantastic dvd that allows the actresses
and actors to use their acting chops in the beginning of their scenes.
The women are gorgeous and they can get any guy hard anytime. I look
forward in checking out other Brazzer's movies in the future. DevonLee, Holly Halston, and Victoria Valentino are the standouts. And,
Devon Lee is a superstar. Brazzers is an internet company which has the tendency to gather hot
women with large breasts. They are able to obtain great looking women
for their site and their updates. This good company has very
entertaining plots that they give their starlets to act in. I like to
see the acting abilities of porn stars. Many people underestimate their
skills. It's nice to see that some adult honchos will give them that
opportunity to show their stuff. Mommy Got Boobs Volume 3 is their
newest installment in their popular Mommy Got Boobs series; Cheaters Caught or Not: 3rd Degree studios has come up with an exceptional and interactive
adult movie. The viewer actually gets to select the ending of the each
scene. As the film's title indicates, we get to decide if the cheater
should get caught or not. It is important to mention that if you do not
select the cheater to get caught, then the scene is still amazing.
During the regular film, the words "Press enter to get caught" are
shown on the bottom right hand side of each scene. I would very much
suggest that you should see those alternate endings especially the ones
with two women in the scene. The alternate endings of those two
episodes will have incredible sex with three people. This movie is exceptional. The interactive dimension to this
film allows the viewer to be part of the process. Two of these
alternate endings are spectacular and they are better endings than the
original ones. The alternate ending with Evie Delatosso is quite good
too. 3rd Degree studios has a winner on their hands. I hope that they
make more of these alternate ending DVDs; and Milf-stravaganza #6: from the successful studio Digital Sin. The
twelve scenes in this movie come from other productions. They give a
good representation of those movies. I highly encourage the viewer to
check them out. I especially like the Cheating Wives Tales series. Milf-stravaganza 6 is really a good collection of sex scenes
from various movies. It gives us a fair glimpse to the movies that
these scenes come from. They are worthy representations. The Cheating
Wives Tales episodes have become my favorites. I look foward to seeing more of this Stravaganza series.
Then came Frankenlola's words of wisdom on Gape Lovers 3: Jay Sin promises a "Buffet of gapes" in this 4-hour, 2-disc
extravaganza. It features some recognizable names and hole, and a few
new one. This pack delivers if huge open asses are what you are
looking for. Each scene has at least 2 girls prying open each other's
hole, and 2 of them have giant dicks drilling the girls as well. The
focus is definitely on the gaping, and the camera zooms in on each
one. There is nothing better than a winking sphincter large enough to
drop a quarter in to, without touching the sides. Gape Lovers 3 is exactly as advertised, with over 4 hours of gaping
action, not including the extensive extras. There is enough action to
entertain the most critical viewer. There are 2-ways, 3-ways, lesbian,
men on women, and a veritable buffet of gapes. The action is intense,
and the gapes are extraordinary. There are giant winking assholes
everywhere.
As impressed as I am with this movie, I am rating it low on
the couples scale. There is not plot, and nothing "romantic" about
it. If your S.O. is new to porn, or is looking for a plot, this is not
for them. If this person likes anal, and showed an interest in
stretched asses, then this movie will be a good addition to your
library.
Taking into account the warnings above, this movie garners a "Highly Recommended" rating.
Ravyn then spoke well of Power: Men will never really admit that they enjoy women that are in full
control in the bedroom and in the board room. Savanna shows the men
that women can and will be in control in every room and in every
situation need be showing their sexual prowlness and stamina when
it comes to sex. Being in control is something all that all women
enjoy and refuse to give up that power to anyone. Savanna Samson Takes Control! Some guys like the girl on top. In this
authoritative look at sex and submission, Chuck Lords takes Vivid's
Nasty Girl, Savanna Samson, and puts her in charge of the sex and the
situation...and the result is rather unbelievable. She's on top in the
office, the gym, the home...and she's never been hotter...she's never
been wilder...she's never been more in control. The say that wine ages well with time and in this case Savanna ages
nicely and gets better as time passes on. Savanna like wines knows what
the consumer wants to see when it comes to her performing and gives
them exactly what they want and them some. Savanna hones in on what
makes a man rock hard or a woman wet for the taking by her. Kelly
Wells didn't stay far behind either with her assertiveness when
it comes to training a man to do her bidding. Holly and Jen on the
other hand are the sweet innocent ones that everyone has to watch out
for. The men left little to be desired but then again not many watch
porn for the men. Fans of Savanna Samson and Kelly Wells will surely
enjoy Power and will want to add it to their collection.
We then noticed that The Horny Housewife picked up on four to appreciate with Lesbian Lip Service #2: definitely delivered some amazing looking girls
in some great looking Lesbian action. Directors Andy Carter &
Peter Turner captured some of my favorite European girls fucking each
other in some well captured and steaming action. There was great
chemistry throughout and it cant be understated just how hot some of
the girls were. My personal favorite scenes came from Regina Moon &
Cristina as well as Carla Cox & Mia both these scenes really got me
turned on and I will definitely be watching them a few times over. The
only real downside to this Disc was the somewhat lacking Video quality
but overall that was not deal breaker for me due to the quality of
girls throughout. For fans of girl on girl pick this up asap I
seriously doubt you will be disappointed; Jesse Jane Heat ( Blu-Ray): from Director Robby D and Digital
Playground studios was a very solid release. The blond starlet Jessie
laid the foundation for a great disc with her amazing looks and great
skills in the bedroom. While Jessie was a cutie no doubt the girls and
scenes which really got me going here were from Madison Scott and Paris
Mayne. Both these girls really did a great job and will have me looking
for more videos of each in the future. Digital playground does a very
good job with their Blu-Ray High definition DVD's and this one is no
different. While not the most hardcore videos you can find and perhaps
in actually some of the more tame videos you can find Digital
playground does have its niche and this DVD fits right into that
category. All in all I recommend this title for you to check out I
think it has some real HEAT and Jessie Jane is not the only one on fire; Black Cock Addiction 5: Director Joey Silvera and Evil Angel studios delivered a very hot oral
themed title with this release. The overall disc from beginning to end
was bringing heat and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and will
continue to watch it again in the future. From the opening scene to the
last each really gave something special and although a few of the girls
were not on par with the others each did a good job and each was filthy
as could be. The standouts here were Chayse Evans, Melanie Jayne and
finally Charley Chase & Samantha Sin. Each one of the scenes with
the girls mentioned was top notch and I cant wait to take another peak
at them in action. Pick this title up asap while there is no fucking
going on here the oral and the filthiness of the girls speak volumes; and Big Natural Tits #21 from director Christoph Clark and distributed by
Evil Angel studios was quite the big tit lover DVD. I must admit that I
am not that fixated on large breasts but the DVD captured my attention
with a myriad of hot young ladies who just happen to be big breasted.
While the tits were the center of attention here I found lots of great
things that were not just centered around that certain part of the
female anatomy. This DVD will certainly be a big treat for any guy or
gal who is a big tit lover but it also is for those who enjoy great sex
with some pretty hot girls. I definitely recommend you check this title
out and I seriously doubt you will be disappointed after giving it a
peek.
Our own Alt-porn expert, The Mooninite, then found a decent offering in the form of XOXO Joanna Angel ; the latest two disc set from Brooklyn's
finest, throws Joanna into straight up gonzo territory. No plot, no
real recurring themes at all, just eight full scenes of hardcore porno
action with some 'altish' overtones. Handled with a good sense of humor and directed, by James Deen, with a fair bit of style, XOXO Joanna Angelis a fun gonzo entry from the Burning Angel crew. The scenarios show
some creativity and Joanna fucks like a champ in each and every one of
the eight scenes that make up this two-disc set. There's a plenty of
stroke-worthy material here to please pretty much everyone and while
the focus this time around seems to be on anal and DP, there's enough
variety between the different scenes to give this one a fair bit of
replay value as well. XOXO Joanna Angel is a step or two above your average gonzo
feature thanks to some decent variety, a good sense of humor and some
interesting ideas and scenarios. While Burning Angle's strongest
material can be a little more creative, this is still a very solid
effort and the sex scenes are plentiful and well executed. Recommended
for Joanna's loyal legion of fans.
Chris Knight then saw fit to recommend Sugar: I'd never seen a film with Hannah Hilton before, but when I hear a
woman has fantastically huge natural tits, I am intrigued. That, on the
cover, she looked kind of like Paris Hilton made it a bit more
interesting. Unfortunately, the DVD isn't much of a star vehicle,
without the kind of concept that really sets her up to shine.
Supposedly, the story is about "lovers catching lovers in compromising
positions," but just one of them is even remotely connected to that
concept, and there's no type among the women to make it attractive to
viewers looking for a specific kind of girl. But then again, there is
Hannah twice, and that's something to be happy about. There's nothing
really tying these four scenes together, outside of the obvious (sex)
and the fact that Hannah Hilton is in two of them, so it's sort of a
question of whether getting two scenes of her is enough to draw you in.
(Of course, there are two more in the extras.) There's some hot moments
in here, along with a pair of iffy scenes that just paled in comparison
to the others. If you're a fan of beautiful women with enormous natural
breasts, this is certainly worth a look, but there are probably better
options out there.
Wind Tunnel described the wonders of bush with his take on Hairy Movie: As the trend of wearing one's beaver bald has slipped away in some
pockets of the porny world, Hairy Movie attempts to
alight the stars with a fresher growth down below, easing in the
natural look with the sweet looks of some of today's best performers.
In other words: thank goodness for fur (let me show you how)!
With all due considerations, I can't say that Hairy Movie is well-suited enought to be recommended on the merits of title alone.
While there is plenty to be offered and partake of here, the element of
the theme is minor considering the scope. Sasha's bush is truly one
for the books, and likewise, her performance is equal to her furriness,
though a true amount of exposure of it seems lax. Max's bit of fuzz is
just as peachy (as is her time with Mick's penis), as is Kimberly's
ever-present amount of coochie set-dressing. These three scenes are
the core of goodness that the others seem to huddle around,
conceptually, even as Lexi does her best with who's she's set-up with
(Sarah, who needs time to cook more thoroughly), and Mika's brashness
and Jocelyn's slightly eye-rolling mannerisms may be too much for some
to bear. However, as it stands, it's all Recommended
with reservations; that is, if you're looking for hairy as hairy could
be, you may be barking up the wrong set of legs. There's always next
time, people!

The major contributors to The Blue Room this week were: Don Houston and Christopher J. Thorne.
