THE SEX
Think you have what it takes to be porn's next leading stud? Most of us fantasize about making it with the beautiful ladies of the adult industry – but how many of us could seriously live up to the task...performing on demand with some dude and a video camera inches from our face and a film crew standing around watching us?
That's the mission that's been handed to "Reel Joe" (aka Damon D. Morros) in this cool idea for a Hustler title. The winner of a nationwide search, Damon gets to pick which girl he wants to have sex with from a cast that includes Aurora Snow, Anna Mills, Melody Max, Phoenix Ray and Honney Bunny. But before we see if Damon can pull it off (and get it up!), we get to see the rest of the cast in action with each other and some other porn studs.
The first sex scene takes place between real-life couple Aurora Snow and Jay Ashley, who are joined by Phoenix Ray. Before the threesome begins, Jay tells the story of how he and Aurora were having a little pre-movie sex in an empty theater when a family comes in and picks their very row to sit in! But Jay was so worked up at the time, he shot his load into Ms. Snow before she climbed back down into her seat...meaning she not only spent the whole move with cum inside of her, but it was dripping down her leg as she exited the movie! And to think, I can't even get my popcorn buttered when I go to the theater!
The threesome between Aurora, Phoenix and Jay is a nice one – which includes a nice position where both girls are lying on top of each other facing away from Jay as he takes turns giving them both doggy. The action finishes up with Jay pumping Aurora missionary, pulling out, and shooting his load onto Phoenix's tits...which Aurora then licks off!
Melody Sweet and Joey Ray are up next, in a scene that begins with Joey telling the home viewer how he got into the industry. Melody (a cute brunette) comes down the stairs Joey is sitting on wearing a sexy bikini that really shows off her curves. It isn't long before Joey is slamming her up against the banister, holding her left leg up for leverage.
Another real-life couple, Angela Crystal and Tristan Seagal, show us their stuff in Scene Three of this release. Both European performers, Tristan tells us how he met Angela and how European porn directors would never fool around with a guy who had to use Viagra to get hard during a shoot (something that happens more often than not in the American industry these days). Despite being a couple (or perhaps because of it!) this scene is probably the weakest on the DVD – although it does contain anal in the reverse cowgirl position, which may appeal to viewers out there.
Aurora returns for the next to last scene, a girl/girl one in which she makes out with Anna Mills. There's some enjoyable licking, fingering and dildo play here – but I'm a bit biased when it comes to Aurora, so almost any scene I watch her in manages to turn me on.
Finally, it's time for Damon to make his choice, and he selects Asian babe Honney Bunny because he claims that he's turned on by her ethnicity. Damon does a decent job here and seems to have no problems staying hard or delivering the pop-shot when called for – which just happens to be a facial.
An enjoyable title, my only problem is that the person that Hustler picked as their "Reel Joe" is far from the average male. The guy is pretty "buff", better than average in size and seems to have been looking for a career in porn anyway when Hustler signed him up. Next time around, lets home Hustler picks someone that is a little more like the viewer watching at home (you know, like picking a desperate porn reviewer or someone like that!).
VIDEO/AUDIO
Presented full-frame with a 2.0 Dolby track, both the video and audio quality are just a little better than average for an adult DVD release, but nothing so exceptional that it stands out. Those familiar with Hustler's Barely Legal line of DVD releases can expect about the same in video and audio quality here.
THE EXTRAS
In addition to a Chapter Selection and a "Select A Star" section (which is also essentially a chapter selection), the DVD contains a short, 7-minute Behind The Scenes segment; 6 Trailers for other Hustler titles; a Slide Show; plus advertisements for the Hustler Hollywood store chain and some phone sex ads.
BRIAN'S BOTTOM LINE
The sex is well-filmed, the concept is fun, and I really enjoyed some of the stories told by the talent of some of their real-life experiences. The idea of bringing a "Reel Joe" into the porn world isn't lived out to its potential here, but this is still a solid porn title that is worthwhile if you're a fan of some of the starlets in the cast.
