Note: The following is a review for the Blu-Ray version of Jesse Jane Kiss Kiss, a flagship Celeste title for Digital Playground that was released in standard definition DVD recently. The content of the movie was the same and the extras barely modified to include Blu-Ray trailers that show off the higher resolution of the titles that are either out or about to come out in the popular new format. The quick version of the review is that the show looks and sounds better but it always looked pretty good so it's value as a double dip will depend on your wallet but I added pictures to give a better idea of the movie, taken from the SD version of the movie (at this size and compression rate, you wouldn't notice the difference). Here's a link to the Trailer if you need more convincing. Enjoy!

There was a 60's feel to the music opener (much like the movie itself) and graphics, Jesse pointing out that it was her first time with Johnny. The only other extras were a slideshow, a photogallery, (but no biographies for the ladies this time), as well as trailers to shows like Pirates II, Island Fever 4 Blu-Ray, Jack's POV 1 Blu-Ray,Cheerleaders BR, Babysitters BR, Pirates BR, Contract Star BR, and Island Fever 3 BR.

Audio/Video Quality: Jesse Jane: Kiss Kiss Blu-Ray was presented in the usual 1.78:1 ratio widescreen color as shot by director Celeste for Digital Playground using the AVC codec for the advanced video format. The high end equipment and skilled crew of regulars assisted director of photography Robby to make this release look okay; a return to the more distinctive Celeste look that marked her flicks from prior to last year where Robby asserted his own style more frequently. In fact, the technical matters and reasonably solid editing by Kurt Tortcher aside, I would have to point out that Robby's influence on the end result was stronger than ever, a favorable development given my appreciation for his production skills. The lighting was generally solid here, reducing the grain, video noise, and other defects that sometimes arise in making porn on a budget; favoring a soft focus in some cases that I wasn't convinced worked as well as it should; the enhancement of the higher resolution really bringing out the quality of the picture (as someone told me it would). The way the scenes were shot and edited was markedly similar in the scenes; the composition favoring the ladies and looking like Robby had no constraints this time. The Blu-Ray mastering revealing no compression artifacts; with the bitrate for the visuals hovering around the low 23 Mbps this time (when I paid attention; it varied in both directions, sometimes getting quite elevated) with few flaws but not as low in resolution as previous efforts in related series. The audio was presented in a 5.0 Dolby Digital Surround English using a 640 Kbps bitrate (at 48 kHz; strangely missing the .1 again); twice that of most porn made these days, with a minimalist leaning that seemed unique in most ways to productions outside of the Jack series, with the vocals always dominating the audio track as I like it. There wasn't much separation between the channels, if any outside of the intermittent music, but the ladies were always clearly heard here and the audio was better than usual overall despite the missing subwoofer track.
Jesse Jane and Johnny
Body of Review: 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. Here's a brief look at the scenes by cast and action, noting that no condoms were used for those still interested:
Scene One: Jesse Jane, the contract blond featured on the front cover, was up first with another popular hotty, Jenna Haze, as the two of them worked over Charles Dera, after some delicious food fetish lesbian work. The erotic nature of the food competition turned lesbian frolic could have been the entire scene as far as I was concerned; the nervous energy translating quite well into excitement by the ladies as they went into oral mode on each other. Leaving the kitchen to move the action onto the bed, Jenna went first with Jesse close behind, the ladies showed just the right amount of seething as they vied for his affections to be his number one gal pal. This was the kind of birthday celebration I could appreciate myself, not playing it too heavy but adding enough tension to make it work all the same. The oral tease led to the ladies aggressively inhaling his cock, wrapping their lips around his shaft to work him over heatedly. Jesse sat on his face and both women showed they were no slouches when it came to vaginal riding either, pushing back against the guy; their acting a LOT better than his as the emotions poured through. There was no anal this time but Jenna milked his wad of population pudding by hand onto Jesse's face, the post coital sucking by both females nicely done as was the scene overall. Whew!
Scene Two: Stoya, exceptionally cute as she handled obsessive compulsive Mick Blue, was up next as she playfully countered his rebukes with laughter; the scene moving into the bathroom as he pawed the lean hotty while she washed herself. His tan contrasted sharply with her milky white skin, Mick's aggressive attitude bringing out the best in the "sex kitten android from the future, force of nature." He ate her out while she purred in delight, the slower approach used over the lizard flicking most guys apply in their scenes to make it a moment between the pair rather than a means to an end. She reciprocated by wrapping her hands and lips around his cock, maintaining eye contact as if into the moment with him unlike what many of her peers prefer to do (efficiently milk the guy for the formulaic amount of time in a mechanical fashion). They kissed some more, he roughly spanked her, and then they began vaginally boning to an increasing frequency. The positions changed from time to time and they moved back to the living room but Stoya was an active ride most of the time, showing some chemistry with Mick as the pair provided quite a strokable show. Mick even wrapped his hands around her neck at one point, though I wouldn't refer to it as full fledged choking so much as a device to allow him to focus on her eyes as the pair screwed, an abrupt edit sending them to the bedroom where the scene dynamic continued until the facial. Nice!
Scene Three: Brianna Love, one of the best known booty gals of the past year, was then up as a senator's daughter guarded by Rico Strong. The two got into a squabble over who he worked for, making me laugh at how things played out even if he wasn't dressed very appropriately for his role. She wanted some loving and he was just the man to provide it, his hands and mouth all over her curvy, all natural figure in record time. She reciprocated with a solid hummer, not as effective as the previous gals in the movie but enough to get him turgid for the vaginal plowing he was about to engage in. She let him do most of the work even before they began with the anal action, Rico hitting that perfect pucker of hers (some minor bruising observed from her rougher scenes of late). She picked up her pace slightly when sitting on top of him, her wonderfully full ass cheeks rippling in response to their actions, and it ended when he rubbed out his load to her face.
Scene Four: Priya Rai, a gal with overdone implants and marks to prove it, was up next as Charles Dera brought her some underwear to put on with a leopard print. While I do not find her particularly appealing on a physical level, Priya does know plenty of moves and puts on a good show in most cases, her attitude of a cat looking for a toy to play with well played with the guy. They felt each other up and kissed like long lost lovers, each giving the other some oral satisfaction before they screwed. She gave good, though not exceptional, head and sat on his face to ensure he did likewise. He did her in missionary until he popped a load onto her abdomen, the scene continuing with her moving from a passive role in the screwing to a more active bout of boning as I greatly prefer. She yelled a whole lot and took a second dose of dick weed to her face, draining him dry before the scene finished up.
Scene Five: Lacey Maguire, a curvy British gal with a lot of positive energy, was up next in bed with Tommy Gunn and Mick Blue. Tommy played her husband, procuring Mick's services for the horny gal as they explored local customs regarding sexual depravity. Lacey and Mick necked and got lost in the moment before Tommy joined in; Lacey sucking them both off roughly as she knelt before them. Tommy spent some time eating her out as Mick drilled her from behind, both men getting a heaping helping of hospitality courtesy of her moistened biscuit before they unleashed their loads upon her face. I thought they would be giving her some hardcore DP's and ass fucking but it really didn't matter given how much enthusiasm the trio brought to the scene.
Scene Six: Jesse Jane, in a loose dress, was up last as she was given a surprise by Johnny Sins; the man tying her to a chair in what was billed as their first scene together. Bound to the chair, she expressed concern for his desire to leave the room until he came back with a can of whipped cream that he used to coat her feet. The foot fetish aspect will almost certainly work for many of you more than me (I'm not into foot play at all, though it doesn't elicit much of a response from me in general), Jesse's giddy response to Johnny's oral skills changing as he went further north on her thighs and cookie. I admit that the tease aspect of the action worked pretty well for me though, Jesse's blowjob even more powerful than her first scene effort. The couple boned like they owned each other, Jesse impaling herself on top of him, the clear evidence that this first romp together was as much a kick for him as it was for her (in the BTS, she goes on about how she found him to be a sweet catch). The multitude of positions showed that they were able to go at it from all angles, the large facial coating Jesse's face as she gave him some final oral. Yum!
Summary: Jesse Jane: Kiss Kiss Blu-Ray by director Celeste for Digital Playground was a pretty 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.
