Anal Beach Buns, Gabriella Fox: Sexy Hot, Cry Wolf, and plenty more...


Intelligent Talk About Adult DVDs


Spotlight Title: Anal Beach Buns

 

 Jay Sin is one of the few directors at Evil Angel that I really know little about other than he makes a good fit at the company due to his love of curve female ass. Jay seems driven to provide gonzo scenes with more circus act sex or fetish themes than most of his peers too, perhaps as a means of differentiating himself in the admittedly crowded field, the results varying significantly but the guy often finding just the right niche to provide something off the beaten track. His latest title making it my way is Anal Beach Buns: Special Extended Set, a series of five lengthy scenes full of tease and swimsuit appeal, using ladies that offer a sweet array of cunning stunts to serve as inspiration for your own hand to gland combat experiences.  It was a lot to handle but the performances seemed to show the ladies naturally enjoying all that took place and their chemistry enhanced by passion warranted a rating of Highly Recommended. The technical values had some rough spots but the extras package was among the best I've seen this month, no small feat considering the stacks of porn proliferating on my tables and desk, making this one to check out. In short, Anal Beach Buns: Special Extended Set might have rougher sex than I generally watch but the casting was superior and fans of gonzo styled anal antics will be hard pressed to find a better release for what Jay Sin provided. Good work!
 

Sneak Peeks: Gabriella Fox: Sexy Hot and Jack's Redhead Adventure
 
 Digital Playground is one of the most successful companies in the adult entertainment industry but unlike many of their peers, they have only three directors, Joone, Robby, and Celeste. Each has their own niche and following of fans, Celeste catering more to the female fantasy than anything else. Of late, her track record has been pretty solid for delivering the goods to both sexes, a quick look at her movie ratings showing that even a jaded old porn hound like me can appreciate her works if the casting is right, so I was curious to see what her upcoming title, Gabriella Fox: Sexy Hot, would be like as the first sequel released to the appreciated Jesse Jane: Sexy Hot. Coming out next month, the show provided five scenes full of tease and heated sexual action, showcasing new contract gal Gabriella Fox better than her previous effort for the company. One look at her and you'll know why she was signed up, the smoldering eyes, sweetly curved figure, and the potential to really rock the world of her fans.  It was another step in the evolution of contract cutie Gabriella Fox where she showed plenty of potential. By this time next year, she may well be a terrific lay and so skilled in sexual depravity that I'll be taking cold showers every time I see her flicks but in this case, the strength of the movie was largely attributable to the entire cast with the chemistry, replay value, and strokability meriting a rating of Recommended. In short, Gabriella Fox: Sexy Hot showed the lead as being sexy and hot, her "wow factor" still on the rise at this writing. The technical values were solid and the BTS had some of the self deprecating humor the crew is known for, Robby and Jamal skewered over all the others.

 Digital Playground was once known far and wide as a premiere couples company, their softcore features winning all sorts of awards but leaving hardcore lovers a bit limp so when director Robby D. was brought over from Vivid, no one batted an eyelash thinking he would eventually become a powerhouse gonzo director at the company. These days, Robby has his hand in almost all the releases of the company too, shooting the works of his gal pal Celeste and chugging cameras for main man Joone but of most interest to me is his own works where the pervert chases ladies all over the place using his "Jack" persona. For the uninitiated, Jack is Robby's fictional alter ego that always uses the promise of music video work to get a gal stripping and fucking on camera, occasionally sidestepping the concept for the fictional Teen America pageant or pretending he's a novice shooting his first pornos in the My First Porn series. As the company has expanded to meet increasing niche demands they have used his skills to offer big ass movies, big tit movies, and now are moving into another area new to them with Jack's Redhead Adventure 1, showcasing redheaded ladies having a lot of fun. When Robby was still in the planning stages of the movie, he could not stop talking about it and even in our own Xcritic forums, the demand for fiery redheads has been made clear so I took some time to check it out.  It comes out at the end of next month and fans of redheads will have a lot of freckles and red hair to appreciate, each gal fitting the bill quite nicely even if the total package might not have been the best the company has to offer.


Highlights of The Week 


  Reality Kings is best known as an internet company but they have been picking up sales on DVD thanks to supercharging their staff in recent times, releasing their best content on disc as a means of generating not only additional revenue but getting the word out as a marketing tool as well. Their latest title to make it my way was Flower Tucci.com Volume 4, the sequel to Flower Tucci.com Volume 1, Flower Tucci.com Volume 2, and Flower Tucci.com Volume 3, that I liked so much. The DVD is a collection of scenes between Flower and some of her friends, none of the males properly credited but including whites and blacks for those who care. The scenes have the benefit of containing substantial amounts of tease footage that Flower's fans (such as me) enjoy watching but also a lot of hardcore footage that displays the cast having a good time. If that interests you as much as it did me, you would be remiss in skipping out on Flower's latest jam packed (and that means each of her three holes) session made for her exclusive website with the company.  It was worth a rating of Recommended or better for fans of Flower and her oiled up buddies, the scenes not quite as consistently strong as the last volume in the series but still very well played. The technical values were solid thanks to lots of light, the plentiful tease helped add lots of value, and the bonus scenes were pretty good too (except for using a moper) so this compilation of scenes from the website was definitely worth being on your pick lists if you like the anal queen herself.

 Paul Thomas is generally considered the leading director at Vivid Entertainment these days and has been for some time. His many awards and accolades for a variety of fuck flicks have given the man enough room to experiment with a variety of approaches, many of them serving up some decent pairings while others fell flat. His latest release to make it my way was Meggan & Hanna Love Manuel, a story of lust in a sexual triangle starring two of the newest contract gals the company has to offer, perky blond Hanna Hilton, and hotty Houstonian Meggan Mallone, as the two compete for the affections of studly Manuel Ferrara. The box cover said it like this: "Hanna is a real estate agent who meets Manuel while showing him an exclusive seaside apartment. She sells him the place...and her pussy...closing the apartment's lounge to fuck his brains out. Being Manuel, the next day she finds him in bed with Meggan, the main girl he neglected to tell her about. Just so happens, Hanna lives in the apartment right next door, and that's just where Hanna and Miguel catch her jacking off to Manuel's private tapes. There's only one logical porno punishment for that...Meggan and Manuel must fuck Hanna every which way but loose. This scalding hot 3-way is worth the price of admission alone. See why Meggan and Hanna Love Manuel...and why Vivid made them Contract Stars!"  It was a surprising little feature that was light on story but solid on sex as a pleasing vehicle to serve both Hanna Hilton and Meggan Mallone in their earlier efforts at the company. Thomas showed he really hadn't lost his touch and especially the finale scene showed the kind of sexual exploration that worked enough from me to rate as Recommended. In short,  Meggan & Hanna Love Manuel was a decent little fuck flick full of frisky fucking and starring two very attractive young ladies. The high definition version will enhance the look of the technical values substantially from what I've seen but this was well worth checking out if you like the cast.

  Digital Sin and sister company New Sensation have been chugging out compilations in recent years to suit the needs of many fans. By offering up focused nods to specific genres and performers, their level of fuck for the buck climbs substantially over the multitude of generic gonzo offerings on the market, giving many people an incentive to pick up a few titles depending on what their tastes may be. Such was the case with Ass-Mania: 2 Disc Set, a double disc set of scenes focusing all their attention on a series of mighty fine asses with a whole lot of anal loving taking place in the 6+ hour show and sequel to Asstravaganza 7. Just a look at the lineup of ladies will tell you all you need to know but as the back cover put it: "20 scenes full of anal madness! That's what Ass-Mania is all about! So you better be prepared because this new series is about to overpower your cock with 6 hours and 30 minutes of non stop ass pumping action! We've got some of the hottest chicks like Eva Angelina, Rita Faltoyano, Katsumi, Sharka Blue, Ariana Jollee, and Tia Sweets leading the way for these horny sluts as they get their asses plundered with some rock hard cock thunder! It's time for the Ass-Mania of a lifetime!"  It had twenty scenes of anal depravity and ass loving that should give you all some inspiration in your personal pleasure sessions. The amount of fuck for the buck was somewhat exceptional for such a compilation at this price, the wealth of scenes from the past mixing in nicely with the newer works that I had not seen as of yet so I rated it as Recommended. In short, the advertising hype was a bit much but not totally wrong in the sense of what was provided on Ass-Mania: 2 Disc Set, the title about as good as any of the lengthy double disc sets the company has provided in the past before it. I only wish that they labeled all the scenes and not just a few of them, how tough can it be for a record holder to look something up compared to a reviewer faced with scores of choices (since so many people work together a lot these days)?

 HJ has been directing for Evil Angel Buttman Magazine Choice a little in recent times; providing his own vision that shows a love of ass that I can identify with so I try to pick up his releases whenever they come out. His most recent release for the company was Keep It Right There 2,an interracial love fest where he boned some hot hunnies with superior asses. The company website said it like this: "In HJ's followup to his popular Keep It Right There, several hot ladies show off their teasing and cocksucking skills, mixed with a couple of full-on fucking scenes. Foxy Latina Giselle does a private show on a stripper pole, then spreads lotion on herself and gives a lengthy blowjob to Josh Stone. Thick white girl Vanessa Lynn gets fucked by HJ, and later, Courtney Cummz blows him while wearing a cute pink bikini. Sultry blonde Eva Cruz teases us in the bubble bath, then sucks and fucks Josh until he comes on her stomach. We also follow around Luana, a hot latin babe with an enormous fat ass, who goes down on HJ's knob; pretty Trina Michaels gives Nat Turnher a juicy blowjob; and big booty'd Luscious Lopez and Gianna Michaels strut around the backyard before sucking big black Magic's dick in various locations.  It was not his most consistent work to date but some of the performances were off the hook in terms of how a few of the ladies really shined like stars. The fact that HJ concentrated so much on raw energy and enthusiasm instead of polished looks and editing out all the nuances that make him different were enough to merit a rating of Recommended. If you like tease footage, curvy women from all kinds of races, and a guy that loves showing them off, Keep It Right There 2 should be on your short list of gonzo titles to pick up.

 Celeste is the female director at Digital Playground known far and wide for her erotica series that use her impressions of sexuality to fuel fantasies as shot by her main squeeze for thecompany. While he shoots increasingly hardcore gonzo styled titles, her offerings rely less on the circus act sex or rough material than trying to invoke a specific mood or feeling. Unlike so many in the industry, she clearly loves women and wants to allow them the freedom to explore what gets them off rather than strictly adhere to the formulas that are so easy to shoot. As a result, she gets to put her name on flicks such as Katsuni: Minx Blu-Ray, a showcase look at the contract performer that comes out next month. Katsuni is one of the rarest of ladies in porn too, getting better with time and outlasting scores of the "flavor of the month" performers that so many fans flocked to; showing a staying power based as much on her nasty side as her femininity. She is in three of the six scenes too, so fans will automatically want to pick up a copy for their viewing pleasure.  It was a title I could rate as Recommended even without prodding by one of my female bed buddies since the lead was one of the best in the business and the majority of scenes were well situated in terms of their visual stroke appeal. In short, Katsuni: Minx Blu-Ray was a solid showcase for the lovely lady, one of her best in awhile as far as I was concerned, but the other gals proved to live up to their roles too. Had the cost of the production been a bit lower, I'd have likely raised my rating up a notch too, this enhanced high definition version a visual treat for any fan of the lovely Asian contract star here. Yum!

Our own hotty, The Horny Housewife, provided a few picks this time starting with: The Amy Ried Story follows the transformation of a somewhat skittish and shy 19 year old teenage newbie Devin Valencia to Amy Ried the Porn Goddess we all know and love today. The transformation from a normal sexy girl next door in her very first scene to the whore Porn dreams are made of is captured in this Vouyer Media DVD. In 2 hours and 25 minutes and in six scenes we take a look at Amy aka Devin and see her from very first scene to the present day sex siren we can't seem to get enough of. This is not your normal every day run of the mill gonzo flick this is The Amy Ried Story. I  found it to be an interesting idea in that it broke from the mold of your everyday run of the mill gonzo in that it actually told the story of a girl from her first scene ever to where she is today; as well as Ashlynn and Friends #5:  Are these all really Ashlynn's friend's? They could be friends, enemies, cousins.. whatever. I wouldn't really give a fuck because they were all sexy and really brought together a great DVD that i really enjoyed. From the lead off home run Ashylnn provided, to the grand slam that was the super adorable Ellie Idol and some real hot filler in between this DVD was HOT! This was really an enjoyable DVD for me for several reasons. First I love Ellie Idol and Ashlynn Brooke. Two incredibly sexy girls I can't get enough of. To see both of these girls as well as the other teengae hotties from this disc made up to look so hot it was a pleasure to sit back and enjoy. Great Lighting, good sound, hot fucking girls getting fucked, what else can you ask for?

We then took a look at some titles provided by our newest addition to the team, Apache Warrior, with Seasoned Players #5: Tom Byron Pictures is the creation of porn veteran Tom Byron. It does not feel that he has been in this business for so many years. How time flies? Seasoned Players 5 is 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. Tom asks several questions to each performer before they do their deed. It allows each woman to show off their personality. It is a very useful segment for the audience.  Seasoned Players 5 has made a true fan out of this reviewer. I cannot wait to watch the other ones in this series. The sex is fantastic and we get a glimpse into who these adult actresses are when they are not working. The interviews allow them to show that they are not beautiful sex machines who can only suck and fuck. They are well rounded women with lives that do not revolve around sex twenty four hours and three hundred and sixty five days a year; Diary of a MILF #10: Naughty America is distributed by Pure Play Media. Each scene starts off with an attractive woman writing her thoughts in her diary. It is very effective in that it gives the audience some background of the upcoming scene. One does not get bored. Diary of a Milf Vol. 10 is part of their popular Diary of a Milf series.  For anyone who enjoys watching very attractive women having sex, this DVD is for you. I think that by watching this movie, the viewer will be interested in wanting to watch the other volumes in this series. It is a very entertaining film. It gives a good plot to each scene; and Revenge of the MILFs #5: Hustler Video comes from the same people who publish Hustler Magazine. Their brand name solidifies credibility and quality to their products. In Revenge of the MILFS, each episodic scene has a believable and effective plotline. Furthermore, the women entertainers have good acting skills to make the audience care for them. Veteran Hustler continues to make very good adult DVDs. Their plotlines are entertaining and fun to watch. They always find beautiful women to cast in their movies. The buyer will hardly go wrong in purchasing Hustler videos and Revenge of the MILFS is a great buy.

The Mooninite came up with a few too, including Big Tits Round Asses 8: The Bang Bros. continue their tradition of showcasing some of the finest rump roasts and funbags in all of porndom with Big Tits Round Asses 8, the latest in the series from Bang Productions. There's no plot, just five scenes of big booty, big titty action as you like it.  This entry doesn't deviate from the formula that has made the series a success in the least but that's likely what fans of big and round want out of a DVD like this anyway. It caters to that fetish well by providing some nice looking girls and some believable and reasonably hot sex scenes. Bang Bros. fans won't see anything new here but those who enjoy their tried and true ways should know exactly what they want and that this disc will deliver. If big tits and round asses are your thing, then it should stand to reason that Big Tits Round Asses 8 will deliver just what you want. The quality is decent and the sex is hot and while there are better DVDs out there in the Bang Bros. line, this is still worth a look if curvy girls make you tingle; and The Naked Pen: This 1993 VCA production stands was directed by Wes Emerson (who was one of the most prominent directors of the nineties and who is still going strong) and features an interesting cast of the era's starlets, many of whom are now almost entirely forgotten. Such is the nature of the industry! At any rate, the film follows a writer (played by Tom Byron) who lets his fantasies spill out onto the pages that he types as he guides his character, Special Agent Taylor (Mike Horner)through various escapades. What starts off as a fairly straightforward story about a man rescuing a woman soon into a hardcore sex romp with bad acting, a horrible soundtrack, and even worse dialogue! Ah... early nineties porn, how we miss you so... All in all, this one holds up fairly well once you get past the dated fashions and 'shot with a camcorder' look and feel. The cast are enthusiastic and the girls are all quite attractive and enthusiastic. Nostalgia for the era might play a part in one's appreciation for the film but the sex is steamy and even if the plot is dopey as dopey can be, at least the picture is well shot, and let's face it, you're not watching this one for the storyline anyway. If you're okay with the dated aspects of an early nineties production or, more specifically, you hold an affinity for the era's corny brand of smut, then The Naked Pen is for you. The sex is hot and the movie looks pretty good, making it easy to overlook the lackluster supplements.

The Porn Princess came up with a duo of delights with Seymore Butts Missy Behavin': In this movie from Seymore Butts we delve into three scenes featuring squirting in one and plenty of anal in the others. The Covergirl is Missy Stone, who also is the namesake for this title.  As I mentioned earlier, Missy is showing herself off as possibly being one of the new queens of anal. Her scene was very hot as were the others. I will say  liked Sophie and Holly's scene more than the last one, but that is only because I know more about the ladies in that scene. The one downside here is that the video quality isn't top notch but it is labeled a "home movie" so it can be expected. I would recommend this, especially if you like anal; and Brea's Private Lies Part 2: This is the second part of the Private Lies story. In the first movie Sophia Rossi started Private Lies as a way to help women nail their cheating husbands in divorce court. The way this is done is they give the husband a chance to cheat and it gets video taped. In this movie, Brea Bennett has taken control of the company after Sophia. There are a few things in this movie that if you have not seen the first one you might get confused on. Before watching this I would recommend that you check out the first one but it is not necessary. The casting is good here and all the ladies seem to really enjoy themselves. Therefore I would highly recommend this. There is plenty of hot action, in particular the pairing of Brea and Mia and also the pairing of Tiffany and James.

Guy Incognito outdid us all with a plethora of pussy related titles such as Cougars #2: The Cougar fad should never die. Nothing beats older ladies fucking the shit out of younger dudes. Just as long as we don't slip into GILF territory. GILFs can kill a cock faster than a tight grip. Think that one out, slow pokes; Memphis Does Hollywood: Memphis Monroe is one of the new bright shining stars of porn. It's just that this solo adventure was a little rocky. A better script and more of a focus on Memphis fucking could've saved it. But, it's still good. I'd recommend it as a cautious buy; Gina Lynn's Drowning in Bitch Juice 3: doesn't offer up much change in its third volume. Bitch juice is gargled and pussy lips are suckled. What did you think was going to happen? Needless to say, Rhylee Richards stole the show. Gina Lynn offers up more of the same; Top Notch Bitches 7: Gina Lynn has a winner with the Top Notch Bitches franchise. It's just that I wish the same level of talent could be carried over to the other films that fall under the Gina Lynn Productions umbrella. It's a real shame, that something like this couldn't be whipped together; Backyard Amateurs 13: Homegrown Video has always been a favorite. I just want to see them shake it up a little. Why can't we get something new? Oh well, who knows? I just like the tits; It's a Mommy Thing 3: MILFs make the world go 'round. God, I love anything that features older tits in them. I don't what Freud would make of it, but I tend to keep my jerking off out of psychiatry. It made the class a lot easier for everyone. I recommend this flick; Interracial 4 Pack: Interracial porn has come so far. It used to be seen as the sort of sidecar show for the mainstream porn. Now, it has turned fantasy on its ear and became the best thing going in the bigger productions. Nothing beats watching tiny white meat getting split in two; Hustler's Honey's: Hustler knows what they're doing. Who am I to shit on them? Well, here it is. I want more action. I feel like I got about 12 minutes of Hardcore in the entire runtime; and Slutstravaganza!: Digital Sin has slapped together some of the best in slut fuckery. The scenes are a little too heavily compiled of the anal variety. But, it works. Who knows what's going to work? Pick it up, if you love the butt.

We finish our look at the top titles with Ravyn's take on two titles including Cry Wolf: The Vivid teaser does justice to Cry Wolf from the very beginning. From opening shot we all watched as Danny rapes her. However, it wasn't rape was it? The story goes back and forth trying to explain what really happened to Sylvia that night and leaves Danny holding the bag getting the short end of the stick at the end. Can anyone be trusted when it comes to compromising your integrity for love, money, and drugs?  With all of the unexpected curveballs, Cry Wolf  keeps you watching until the very end.  Paul Thomas had the right combination of cast members working together in Cry Wolf. Monique out did herself from the very beginning playing the role of a rape victim. As I watched, I wonder how she was able to get inside the mind of a rape victim and how one would reaction, was all too real for my book. The emotions she carried forward in that scene made me wonder if she has ever been in that position and I pray not. The excellent storyline was very well written and an engaging film that should keep you glued to the television not exclusively for the sex, but for the plot as well. Mr. Marcus and  Monique  worked  very well together and  left  me  feeling bad for him in the  film  for being duped by her in her  sick and  twisted  role-playing  game. Seeing Steven St. Croix, as a pimp-villain was different from the stuff   I have usually seen him in and he portrayed the role very well; and Double Exposure: Losing a loved one isn't easy especially if you both share that special connection. After losing his wife, Jack stays to himself and rarely interacting with others shutting out the rest of the world. Jack becomes a very bitter and sullen person that his one care is getting what he wants and fore going the needs of   others around him. With each photo shoot he does, he finds a way to have sex with his clients and then blows them off. Eventually he  finds another  that  catches his eye and  is betrayed by her  as well.Even with Blade as his partner, Jack makes it very difficult for anyone  and  everyone to get close to him again or to come out of his shell to enjoy the real world.  Does Jack ever come out of his shell and move on?? Former Wicked director David Stanley has left another encrypted message in Double Exposure, one has to wonder how much of himself is mirrored in all of his films. I have had the pleasure of reading his blog over on My Space, where he has comes to mention a few times about losing the love of his life and the pain that comes along with it. It sounds so very familiar especially since we have all gone through this at one point or another in our lives. This is not the usual stuff I am used to seeing from David Stanley. Double Exposure's main character Jack (Brad Armstrong) is a very dark and sadistic person, not caring who he hurts. Even the background music used has that sense of gloom and doom around it. Each of the ladies gave life to the role they were playing. I enjoyed the reference August made to never answering an ad from Craigslist. What puzzles me is, why  his wife's death wasnt explained further. A few things just didn't mesh well. I guess for being a dark satire it was good. I don't think that many viewer will understand the point David was trying to get across and look at the sex as just that sex and betrayal makes you very bitter and weary of everyone. This is one dark fantasy that might not go well with viewers, but fans of David Stanley's work will enjoy it.
