HARDCORE

Digital Playground's "Jack's Playground" series has now reached its 30th episode, but instead of a tedious and self-congratulatory retrospective with guest stars like Lee Majors and Dawn Wells, "Jack's Playground 30" features Rita Faltoyano swimming and Jenaveve Jolie watching "Fear.com" without pants on. Our review after the gap. - G. Ponante

Review by Gram Ponante

Director Robby D. shoots several series for Digital Playground: "Control", "My First Porn", "Jack's Teen America", and "Jack's Playground". The latter is the oldest series and Robby D., as the cajoling behind-the-camera character Jack, is constantly amazed at his good luck that such attractive women come to the house. This is apparent in lingering shots of Jolie and Faltoyano that do not result in the overall creepy feeling one gets from similar introductions in other videos.

The mood is always amicable in these movies, save for the occasional intra-adult industry snipe, and the action moves quickly.

The threadbare plot of this gonzo involves women being duped into performing in a music video. Sometimes the plot shows up and other times it isn't anywhere to be found. The locations are sunny, open, and inviting, and don't have the nouveau riche look of many Valley McMansions rented out to porn companies.

The most important thing is that all the talent is smiling and look like today is a good day to be alive. That goes a long way. This is the atmosphere Robby D. creates. In the "Jack" movies he avoids draping the productions in the doom that awaits us all. Porn should be fun.

Standout scenes include those of Taryn Thomas, Faltoyano, Jolie, and the no-nonsense British performer Renee Richards, whose performance at a grand piano had to be dubbed, we think, because she was playing something which required rights for broadcast. How we are allowed to watch snippets of "Fear.com" in Jolie's scene is a puzzler, using this logic.

Scott Nails shows up in the Faltoyano and Jolie scenes, the lucky bastard, and sports the marks of a parrot attack in the second.

What the low-budget/high entertainment "Jack's" series says is that even people gored by birds can have a piece of the American dream.
