THE BLUE ROOM


Spotlight Title: Ass Addiction 3

 

We start off this week with a title that not only was our favored pick of the week but a sneak peek too!  Handheld Pictures has been one of my favorite companies in porn over the last few years,
others in the industry finally catching up to see director Robby D.'s gonzo work evolve beyond the standard pap found all too often on the industry. For a company like Digital Playground to so fully embrace the attitude displayed by the movies made under
this label is also telling of where they think fans want them to go in
the future; my observations that Robby gives some of his best work in
the titles under this label. The latest release for the company, or
least one coming out at the end of the month, is Ass Addiction 3, the sequel to the highly rated Ass Addiction 2that has proven so popular. The premise was simple this time: provide a
wealth of hot booty in scenes full of tease and passionate action,
offering more in the way of extras too. Both previous volumes in the
series are among the best the company has to offer an ass lover like me
so I went into my advance screener copy with a combination of knowing
how good it should be as well as the slight possibility that it
couldn't possibly live up to what came before. Thankfully, I was
provided with another sweet ride on the ass loving train as Robby shot
for the fans.  It benefited by the casting, the technical values, and the sheer quantity
of fuck for the buck that also managed to offer up substantial amounts
of replay value for me. I venture to say that I could use this one for
weeks on end as inspirational and the surprises in terms of heated
action were nicely played so I rated it as Highly Recommended.The limited theme of an advertising campaign bringing in the hotties
struck me as just goofy enough to belong to the director but
ultimately,  Ass Addiction 3 did indeed live up to Ass Addiction 2with the bonus scene providing even more fun than anticipated. If
you're a devoted fan of ass but not fixated on anal sex in every scene,
you will almost surely appreciate how solid a hit this should become!

 


Mailbag: Letters from  our readers

 

"Alan F.writes:  I really like the upgrades that you've been making on Xcritic since moving over from the other website, especially the pictures some of your reviewers add to reviews.  They really help me make my mind up on whether I'd want to buy a movie or not.  Are there any plans on adding in even more explicit pictures?

Don Houston responds:  At this time, we have investigated adding in full penetration and other sex shots but the law of the land, a federal law typically referred to as "2257" makes it difficult to justify doing this.  Not long ago, the feds declared those that use such shots to be "secondary producers" and subject to the same record keeping requirements as those that made the movies in the first place.  This means maintaining the same records and being open to inspection by the FBI; a major hassle to say the least.

Rob B writes:  I found the pictures from the 2008 AEE show to be over the top!  Your team caught so many shots of the people at the show that it must have taken a lot of work.  Is there any way you can send copies of them to me for my website?

Don responds:  Thanks for the compliments!  Chris, Ravyn, and I were all over the show and we each tried to get a different perspective.  I went with quantity and as many different people as possible given my other commitments, Ravyn was like a kid in a candy store with it being her first show, and Chris was busier making contacts for upcoming contests and new bloggers joining us but feel free to email me with ID's of those I haven't added in yet if possible.  It was definitely a lot of work but the kind I can live with; hanging out with a lot of hotties and snapping pictures wherever I went.  As far as copies of pictures, since it was a major investment in time and resources, I'd rather people browse them here at Xcritic if possible, linking to the photogallery portion of the website being an easy way to share the wealth from all the shows we've attended.

Janice P. writes:  I know you're in tight with Digital Playground so I was wondering what was happening with Pirates 2.  Can you tell me who will be in it, when is it coming out, and what kind of promotions will be held for it?

Don responds:  I spoke with Director Joone, company President Samantha Lewis, and even the rest of the staff while at the show about this one.  Contrary to some premature gossip seen elsewhere on the internet, the movie has NOT been shot yet although the special effects are coming along nicely.  The final script has yet to be written but it is expected to include all the contract performers, a surprise guest or three, and be bigger, badder, and better than the original release.  It is expected to come out in time for next year's AVN Awards so "by the end of September" was a common phrase, though I doubt the high definition versions will be day and date as some are calling for.  As far as contests or promotions are concerned, there has been a lot of discussion about that as well so feel free to start making suggestions in our forums where the company can gleam a few nuggets from the fans.  My personal suggestion involved a series of POV BJ scenes with the ladies as shot through the skilled eye of a certain reviewer but I hear a guy at another website already tried something like that.  ;)

Well, that's all for now but keep sending emails since we can really use the input to make Xcritic the kind of website that caters to what you, the consumer, wants to see.

Highlights of The Week 

Cousin Stevie is probably best known as the cantankerous buddy of Seymore Butts
but his own lesbian series has been around for years too. I was one of
the first people to sing his praises long ago and while I have only
seen a handful of the series since it's inception, I generally find the
volumes to be full of lesbian action with plenty of heat, chemistry,
and replay value so I was happy to finally get his latest work in Pussy Party 24: Assalicious.
As the title suggests, the theme this time was heavy on asses being
used and abused by tongues and toys with twats being given second
fiddle. There was no build up to the usual judging and events, the
minimalist approach striking me in stark contrast to what I had seen in
the past but even the awards were given out in the behind the scenes
feature so maybe the series is ready for an overhaul. The cast this
time was among his very best too with a wealth of sexy babes that I'd
do if it weren't for a) them having better taste in men and b) the fact
that I'd be lucky to get my pants unzipped before losing my own load of
population pudding. Seriously though, the ladies had a good time all
the time here and it made the show a lot of fun to enjoy.  It was more like a home movie than any of the previous volumes in the
series that I have had the opportunity to review. This being the case,
the technical matters were a drop from earlier works but the fun factor
was just as high, if not higher in some ways so I ended up rating it as
Recommended with dedicated fans of the series probably
considering it a "must have" volume thanks to the excellent casting of
Alana Evans, Flower Tucci, Luscious Lopez, Sunny Lane, Olivia O'Lovely,
Trina Michaels, Richelle Ryan, and Nikki Hunter. In short,  Pussy Party 24: Assalicious struck me as more of a documentary about what this group of gals would
do on Superbowl Sunday while their men were watching the Giants kick
Patriot ass; the awards finding the right spot thanks to the way Nikki
and Flower so thoroughly dominated the rest of the cast.

Eddie Powell
is one of the guys in porn that is involved in a lot of projects at
various companies (some of his best work is for Jonni Darkko at Evil
Angel) in various capacities such as director, editor, general
production worker, menu expert, and a whole lot more. His eye for
detail and the fact that he actually cares about his work makes him
rare enough so when asked, I took a few hours to check out another of
his works for Greedy Video called Boy Meats MILF.
In general, the term "MILF" goes far beyond just a female that
delivered a baby in the past as some shrewd marketers would have you
believe (in its purest form, in refers to "mother I'd like to fuck" but
there's more in the pop culture connotation); most people questioned
also believing it should mean a curvy gal in her late 20's or older,
epitomized by the character of Stifler's mother (Jennifer Coolidge) in American Pie.
Realistically, the porn version of a MILF is subject to interpretation
but knowing how old most of the cast is, their acting is the only thing
that can truly satisfy the themes here (the age differences between the
cast are minimal at best) but to be expected. The back cover said it
like this: "MILFs, MILFs, and more MILFs? That's right! Eddie Powell
and the Greedy crew have delivered 5 hot MILFs that are longing for
some young cocks to satisfy. Watch as they pick up these horny soccer
moms from the streets, and give their pussies a nice big throbbing
treat.  It had a lot of laughs for me. It was quickly evident that the theme of
the show was more of a parody of the MILF genre, an oft clever written
one at that, and I would urge fans to watch each segment in its
entirety for the entertainment value. The sex itself provided some
decent levels of fuck for the buck, especially for fans of the MILF
genre that don't take things so seriously, so I rated it as Recommended. In short, the replay value and strokability helped make Boy Meats MILF a cute homage to the genre without giving up the strength of the cast
so give it a look and see what the buzz concerning director Eddie
Powell is all about.

Digital Sin
has long been an industry leader for making "niche" fuck flicks;
essentially catering to smaller groups of dedicated fans that enjoy
seeing certain kinds of sex, body parts, or even performers so it makes
sense that they have spent a lot of time making compilations in recent
years. Their latest such release to make it my way was  Boobstravaganza 7: Titties Galore!, a series I last saw with Boobstravaganza 6,
the focal point of the thirteen scenes being showcasing ladies with
large but natural breasts over the common implants that many ladies
seem to sport in the industry these days.  While the thirteen scenes were not all winners or classics, they did seem to have the kind of titty fuck for the buck action that fans of these double disc sets have come to enjoy from Digital Sin, making it worth your time to appreciate if you like large breasts.  In short,Boobstravaganza 7: Titties Galore! was a lot like Boobstravaganza 6
though it had more diversity in terms of the types of scenes and I
think anyone out there that likes big titties flopping around, being
used during gonzo scenes, and otherwise providing stroke material
should enjoy this double disc compilation as much as I did.  Boobs, boobs, and more boobs were the focal point here so give this one a look if you're into that kind of fun.

I also got an early look at a title that I was assured I would like given my appreciation for a crafted piece that didn't rely on huge budgets, specific ladies, or any gimmicks as is becoming the standard in the industry with  Fuck For Dollars #6; the last in the series I was provided to review being Fuck For Dollars 4.
The concept of the series is for the crew to pick up ladies and offer
them varying amounts of money to strip, tease, and have sex in front of
the camera. This is a popular internet theme but Eddie takes the comedy
to a new level, never coming off as forced with this volume providing a
great cast of relative newcomers as well as the tag team duo of Jew
Hefner and Dr. Leon "The Milkman" Loveless in non-sex roles. If you
like a lot of "fun in your fuck flicks; you will probably find this a
solid selection for some replay value.  It had a lot of cute humor that elevated the production above the tons of
mediocre titles available these days but some of the gals were only
fair when it came to enthusiasm, energy, and attitude so I rated the
DVD as Recommended. I like the way the series has evolved since it began and the extras package seemed to be a step forward since Fuck For Dollars 4 even if the women could have kicked it up a notch or two in my opinion. In short, Fuck For Dollars #6 proved that the director was no fluke in terms of giving the audience
what they wanted and the themes were addressed better than many of the
larger companies out there seem capable of offering, making this a
solid little venture for the raincoater audience.

Michael Vega, our highly praised reviewer of Latino porn, then came up with three choices you may appreciate this time starting with 8th Street Latinas #4Reality Kings
choose to include the entire scene from start to finish. While that
might be appreciated if there was nudity or fucking involved, but do we
really need a 20 minute setup included? Those gripes aside, 8th Street Latinas v4 was
a fine collection of scenes featuring some very sexy Latina ladies and is Highly Recommended; moving on to MILF Lessons #14
While the setup for MILF Lessons 14 is
pretty similar, the ladies on this disc are pretty sexy - particularly Mikayla.
There are some instances where I was hoping JT would frame the action better,
and Illia acquits him/herself slightly better, setting up the action more to my
liking. I still find myself wishing Bang Bros would throw us a bone where the
extras are concerned, but the main feature is hot enough for me to give it a Recommended
rating; and then ending with Filthy's Sinoritas #2
I wanted to like Filthy's Sinoritas 2 - and for the most part, I did. However, two of the
three scenes on the disc left me feeling indifferent. It's a good thing the
remaining three picked up the slack (particularly the scenes with Dede and
Celeste). In fact, Celeste generated so much heat during her scene, she made me
wanna slap an XCritic Pick rating on it and call it a day. Unfortunately,
there's still the matter of the other two scenes. It's not like the girls in
those two scenes were unattractive or anything, it's just that I wouldn't watch
these scenes again unless I really had to. Still, I did like Cezar's
direction and the way he framed the action and that, as well as three hot scenes
makes me feel comfortable giving this disc a Recommended rating.

Reviewer Guy Incognito then provided a trio of titles too with Private's Best of 2007: a compilation disc that's mean to celebrate the best scenes made by
Private in the past year. The A/V Quality is a mixed bag, as each
release was pulled from different sources and aspect ratios. The audio
tends to stay the same with no dropoff. In terms of special features,
you just get a look at the girl profiles and how to select a specific
Best of 2007 scene.  By the time that I finished "Private - Best of 2007", I was
underwhelmed. What should've been the best of the best, felt like a
clip show for all the porn that I had already seen. That's not to say
that it was bad, hell some of the best porn of the year can be found on
this release. It's just that I wanted something interesting. Show me
something new, people. That's why I can only recommend this title to
the newbies to the Private line of films;  Lolly's Domination Dungeon:  is everything that it promises to be. You've got a badass babe
dominating the slaves in some hot lesbian action. If spanking and
girl-on-girl action is your thing, then I recommend the disc.
Otherwise, I'd look for something that has special features and more
variety. The film as it stands can get kind of repetitive and it will
destroy those with Adult ADHD; and Wet Lesbian Weekend:  a hot as hell film from the guys at Combat Zone. You get 10 soaking hot
babes stretched out across five impressive scenes. 2-Ways and 3-Ways
are the order of the day, as the impressive A/V Quality doesn't drop a
single moan or muddy the visual aspects of a scene. There could've been
better special features, but most people don't watch porn for the
special features. They watch it for hot box munching action.  It is an impressive Lesbian spotlight film with 10 girls that could
headline independent outings. The breasts, the asses and everything
in-between were impressive on these girls. I'm hoping for a potential
franchise with this release, as I could sure go for another Weekend
outing. I just hope that are some special features on the next disc.
That was really the only thing keeping this from being an X-Critic
Pick.

Honorable reviewer Harry Johnson then provided a duo of delights with Lusty Latinas:  Everyone loves a Latina hottie and when it comes to the genre Eva
Angelina, Sativa Rose, Lela Star, and Rebeca Linares stand out in the
crowd. These girls are some of the hottest performers in the business
today and the fact that Lusty Latinas collects them all onto one
release is something to be admired. If you have a taste for Latina
cuties or simply enjoy good sex then this is a release you'll
definitely want to check out. It's amazing the entire way through and
it's safe to say that Suze Randall productions have outdone themselves.
It was a fantastic experience the entire way through. Each of the five
scenes included here had something to offer and it's safe to say that
the sex was a cut above most other Latina releases. The girls are fine,
the action is intense, and in the end this is a release that nobody
should miss. Consider it highly recommended as it includes a little
something for just about everyone; and Naughty Office #10:  Everyone has most likely at one point or another had a romantic
interest in a co-worker. Chances are that many who have had such
lustful feelings haven't acted upon them, but imagine if you did?
Naughty America's Naughty Office series takes that dirty, screwing your
co-worker mentality to heart. The series has obviously proven to be
popular considering we're looking at the tenth installment today.  It continues the trend of the series and offers five great scenes with a
lot of sex in between. Each of the girls puts their game face on and I
have to say that the action is nice and dirty. There is a lot of energy
to each scene and some of these girls take the cock really hard. If
you're a proponent of the franchise then you'll definitely want to pick
this up and if you're a newcomer you can't go wrong either! Check it
out and you won't be disappointed!

Thanks to reviewer Robin LaCruz, we then took another look at Britney Rears 4 (a title Don really liked last year when it came out):  Will Ryder continuous his efforts in this multi-AVN award nominated
series that spoofs Britney Spears. Hillary Scott takes on the role for
the 4th installment, and it's just in time for the real Britney's
breakdown. Britney Rear's life is so similar to the other Britney that
it even includes an incident when she shaves it bald - what "it" is
we'll find out later. In this flick, Britney is endorsing her very own
"Britney Pops," which are aphrodisiac lollies that make everyone
extremely nasty.  This is one of those times where celeb-reality and porno reality occupy
the same plane. I bet that the real Britney would be flattered that her
crazy life has been translated into these crazy sex scene. Well they're
not really crazy as much as they are gonzo,
but the performances don't suffer from the chaos. Hillary makes a good
Britney but watch out for Veronique, who is tres hot! And even while
these aren't the hottest sex scenes of the year, the package still
gives you plenty of bang for your buck; and Fresh Outta High School 7:  Not the most creative or well shot or well performed of the pornos, but
it's hard to go wrong when the costumes and girls look so right - uh,
by looking so wrong? Either way, I would check it out and see if any of
the scenes warrant a purchase.

Reviewer Peter Rockwell than suggested two titles with It's Huge #13 detailing a set of scenes where the men were genetically blessed with massive members:  Considering they're up to the 13th installment in the series,
you know Vengeance is doing something right. I found each and every
scene to be thoroughly enjoyable, with plenty of playful and energetic
sex. Had they provided a few more extras, I would have giving it a
higher rating. It would still make for a decent purchase if you can
find it on sale. 
This one might not have the speed bag action director Brother Love enjoys so much but the ladies were stretched to their limits all the same; and Freaky First Timers 7 by famed director Jonalungus:  This DVD has three things going for it: Good technical quality, decent
extras, and intense action. When you get those three things you're sure
to have a solid DVD on your hands. I was a fan of the previous
installments, and this title carries the torch. If you're a fan of
amateur sex, you might want to consider checking this one out. Between the size queens of the first offering and the newcomers in the second flick, it looks like Peter really was on to something good this time, hopefully we'll see even more of these two series in the future.

Last up was lovely reviewer Ravyn who is reportedly still recovering from her jaunt to Las Vegas last month with Photo Erotica:  Photo Erotica is a Jazmin Media production distributed by Ninn Worx. Photo Erotica stars Euro talent which is made up of six very well done
vignettes .The set-ups are artistic and feature some very good camera
work and visual/filming styles. Adding to the atmosphere is a music
track that plays throughout the movie. There is no actual   dialogue
except for a narrator to help set the scene. The  casting of  each
scene is on the main menu on the  upper left hand  side  which is  a 
bit different and is made to look like a collogue of photos with the 
performers. Photo Erotica's main  appeal is  to couples looking for some a  bit 
different loaded with sensual touches and  caresses  with a Euro
flavor.  For an adult movie, it has a very nice artistic touch. Like I
said earlier, I liked the fact that the men also spoke up and introduce
themselves something all companies should do. Jazmin Jones did  right 
by herself and   by Ninn Worx to get a  Recommend  It  from me; and Ferocious!:  Director  Sancho  who first  tossed his  hand into  directing worked with Dave  Navarro in Broken
now sets his  sights  even  higher when it  comes to  his  first 
directorial debut with Ferocious. With all the artistic methods he used
in every scene, this is not your typical porn. The sex is very intense
and very raw to say the least even the  music used has a  hard edge on
it. This isn't  for those that  enjoy   the  soft  core  movies, this
is  more of  what everyone looks for in an adult feature is a exotic
women and hardcore sex. I have never  been a  fan  of  alt porn and
never understood why  the attraction to  it perhaps  I might understand
it  better after  viewing Ferocious. Each  of the  five scenes  doesn't
waste  any  time at  all and goes right into the   hardcore fucking
which I am  sure  you will enjoy as much as  I did.  If you like your sex on the rougher side, this one should be well worth
the money. The artistic style might get in the way for some, but then 
enjoyed  by  those who enjoyed watching  his  style in Broken, there's
no denying that these girls like it rough and  after  watching Ferocious which  left me  a- speechless  because of how  hardcore the
ladies  got it and  b- how  fully aroused it  got me, on a scale of 
1-10 got a  10 + from  me on  all levels.. artistic  value, the 
chemistry with the performers  and  how  Sancho took it to  another
level making the  viewer  do a  double take. Even the scene with Daisy
and Paola had me going. I  gather  this  being my  first taste into 
what is  called  alt-porn started off on a  good foot.
