Spotlight Title: Big Wet Asses #15
 
  

William H. Nutsack is no stranger here on Xcritic given our extensive coverage of his movies from Elegant Angel over the years. A porn directing equivalent of Baseball's Babe Ruth, he hits home runs left and right with his admittedly eccentric movies, the man helping to revive the concept of teasing as much as providing an economic stimulus package to body oil companies for the copious amounts of eye catching lubrication he lathers his ladies up with these days. Of all the titles he has come out with since I last met him in January, the most anxiously awaited has been Big Wet Asses! 15, the sequel to Big Wet Asses! #14; the series almost always amounting to a must have for me since the director took over some years ago. This time, the big, and I mean HUGE, selling point was Gianna's 1st anal, the lady having scored our top female performer spot last year for her multitude of fantastic performances but the double disc set also included Ava Rose's first bout of butt boning too. The rest of the cast was full of award winning hotties as well with Julia Ann, Kimberly Kane, and bobo loving Mia Rose. If that isn't an all star line up worthy of your attention, consider that the extras were among the best I've seen outside of a September released title in quite some time. All of this going to show that when Elegant Angel puts their staff on a top project, the results are akin to a moon landing, my vaulted ceilings seemingly shuttering at the prospect of all the genetic juice headed their way.  The ladies were all in good form and even a guy like me that routinely finds fault with "1st" performances had to admit the gals were exceptionally attuned to working their asses better than many seasoned anal whores. The amount of fuck for the buck, the superior strokability, and the sweet package of extras on the double disc were enhanced by the technical values too, all of which combined to earn a winning Xcritic Pick rating. I can't wait to see how glorious this one looks in full 1080p on a Blu-ray release, the standard definition version surpassing many of the effects-laden releases of competitors. In short, Big Wet Asses! 15, like Big Wet Asses! #14 instantly became a classic for me that should stand the test of time for even my jaded old porn hound eyes, the kind of movie that gathers a lot of attention during award voting without payoffs or sucking up. Once again, my hat is off to Nutsack and associates for the kind of porn that provides all the heat and chemistry a guy could expect and more, a raincoater's wet dream.


Sneak Peeks: TMSleaze A XXX Parody and A Taste of Stoya

I was surprised today when I opened my mail to find something off the beaten track from the company, an advanced copy of TMSleaze A XXX Parody . As one of the most vocal supporters of the sitcum/porn parody craze that has literally swept the industry thanks in no small part to the excellent work of the folks at X-Play, I also tend to be among the most critical when things aren't well done and this being the first title by directors Brian Bangs & Spock Buckton making it my way (I'm looking forward to picking up their first title soon), I sat right down having cleared my schedule. I know the guy responsible for the technical elements and much of the comedy was the infamous Mike Quasar so I figured Spock and Brian were in good hands but I really wanted to see just how entertaining the movie would be and how it compared to the wealth of parodies flooding the market from companies such as Hustler. The quick version of this advance review is that I found this to be one of the funniest sitcums of the year, the mocking of the often lame TMZ show quite appropriate but the sex among the best in this genre that I've had the chance to appreciate. That the guys didn't blow their wads with lame lines, poorly scripted scenarios, or piss poor props helped elevate them within spitting distance of the X-Play efforts, the dynamic a lot different but the results adding tremendous replay value and strokability to the show.  It reminded me that a little bit of creativity combined with technical know-how, and a great cast of ladies can break the mold of what is expected, this advance copy earning a rating of Highly Recommended (borderline Xcritic Pick if the final version fleshes out the extras and removes the script plaguing my copy). Sure, I would have liked to see Lisa Ann's clip expanded on or Joanna Angel to get a full fledged chunk of action but there was no doubt in my mind that the directors have struck gold once again. In short,  TMSleaze A XXX Parody was fun, fucking hot, and managed to craft a lot of humor out of a variety of events taking place in the pseudo celebrity world like no other sitcum I've reviewed has achieved to date.

 Robby D. has finally won the widespread acceptance in porn for his directing efforts at Digital Playground but aside from his handful of bigger releases each year, few people I know seem to be acquainted with his work. That's a shame because he often does such a fine job of conveying the sexual heat and energy of his performers that I think said friends are missing out on some of his best work. Next month will see some scenes that qualify as smoking hot too in a performer featured set of all sex scenes called  A Taste of Stoya, obviously displaying the raven haired beauty from a time when she was still under contract. Stoya was in two of the scenes here, 40% of those in the movie for those mathematically inclined, and I can't deny she looked pretty good here in her work with studly Mick Blue and award winner James Deen. The other scenes were pretty decent too, held back not by the lack of circus act sex so much as a generic set of pairings that just weren't up to the best the company has to offer in my opinion. Still, the footage of Stoya alone should appeal to her slavering fan boys and newfound aficionados that follow her exploits with the mighty lame Marilyn Manson.  In short, fans of Stoya will definitely want to check out A Taste of Stoya when it comes out next month, the milky white cutie providing a lot of "stroke-itude" in her looks alone, the rest of the cast sexually on par with the performances offered up by Stoya here.


Highlights of The Week 
 
 Reality Kings is one of the leading porn websites in the world, the number of scenes provided by any of their myriad of specialty niches enough to keep even a jaded old porn hound like myself happy. While I have not been given much of a chance to review a lot of their work, I have often found it to be very appealing with a lot of fuck for the buck, such was the case with the four hour long Monster Curves 5. The premise of the movie is simply to offer up a series of vignettes where curvy gals would have sex with a variety of men, the good news being the ladies were all top notch and the men well above average too. In terms of "curve appeal", there was certainly a whole lot to appreciate too, gals like Kristina Rose, Shyla Stylez, Jessica Lynn, and Rachel Starr only some of the hotties present for your hand to gland combat needs.  It did not look like much from the box cover but once again the company surprised me in a pleasant manner, the four hours of quality footage stuffed onto the DVD pushing the limits of what could be done properly. With ladies like Kristina Rose, Shyla Stylez, Katie Cummings, and so many more giving wonderfully heated performances, I overlooked the relative lack of extras to label this one as being Highly Recommended. In short, while you will likely get better value for your hard earned dollars by subscribing to the website itself, their web-to-DVD ventures like Monster Curves 5 have certainly proven to hold their own or better versus competitors providing half (or less) material that just doesn't measure up so give this series a look.

 Stormy Daniels has been a popular icon in porn for many years now, her contract at Wicked Pictures helping to greatly extend her career well beyond the life expectancy of most women in the industry. As time marches on, the industry still caters to newcomers as "fresh, young, and more appealing" than the established performers so it makes sense that Stormy would branch out into directing before she wears out her welcome, the gal making some amusing features to entertain those of us still appreciative of the genre. Well, in that line of thought, I was happy to get my copy of Operation: Tropical Stormythis weekend, the movie promoted as one of the biggest feature comedies of the year coming from perhaps the biggest outlet still making them in bulk. Anyone that remembers how well Operation: Desert Stormy was received a few years ago can understand how bigger budget features can still exist in a world full of gonzo, condom-free, outings; the storyline amusing enough to cover the less explicit sex and shorter scenes indicative of the genre. This time, the male lead was upgraded to the Mighty Evan Stone, largely recognized as the top comedy male in the industry (with his sexual chops just as pronounced) and Stormy reprised her role, the couple now promoted to full agents just three months after the escapades of their last adventure.  It might not have been the most stupendous porno ever made as the director claimed, at least partially held back by the casting decisions for most of the other women and the hit or miss jokes deployed, but lack of polishing up aside, it was the best movie Stormy has made to date, bar none. In short, Operation: Tropical Stormy was an ambitious project assisted by a huge production staff made up of other directors (Mark Stone, Randy Spears, Michael Raven, and Francois Clousot) but Stormy was the point person making it all come together like it did, the movie certainly destined to give some competition during awards season. If you're looking for a comedy drama porno with lots of fuck for the buck, the extras package alone should impress you as worth the asking price.

Erik Everhard is no stranger to the world for his many performances as well as his award winning movies crafted by his hand. Those of us that appreciate quality and quantity together have found his double disc gonzo titles well worth checking out too, often the best released by his distributor JJV. Erik's latest flick is This Butt's 4 U #5: Special Edition, once again providing some of the hottest poon tang in porn with babes like Jayden Jaymes, Chayse Evans, Memphis Monroe, and many more on hand to milk his nuts dry. As expected, the emphasis was on nice asses rather than anal or other forms of extreme sex too so the combined might of Erik, his hotty female friends, and the technical wizardry of his production assistant Jimmy all made this look solid going into it.  It had some flaws on the technical side but the camerawork and casting sure helped elevate the action in my opinion. The amount of quality fuck for the buck, the strokability, the replay value, and the entire double disc package amounted to a welcome Highly Recommended. Erik once again proved why he is one of the dominant forces in gonzo porn, the production providing some serious hardcore footage with an eye towards diversity and the thematic booty tease being the icing on the cake. In short, This Butt's 4 U #5: Special Edition was the kind of production that I really like to review, even the humorous BTS material giving this one the edge over weaker efforts so check it out.

 B. Skow has been the driving force at Vivid Entertainment in terms of providing good looking porn in recent years; typically bringing something unique to the mix as he enhanced the performances of the ladies he shot for the company under so many sets of circumstances. His latest release is a continuation of his popular series of lengthy scenes called Brand New Faces 20; a movie dedicated to showcasing some lovely young ladies in their first scenes for porn and the sequel to the popular Brand New Faces 19 I saw recently. The porn industry is replete with gals claiming to be in their first scenes ever but the catch this time was the coverpromising a "100% Money-Back Guarantee" that these were the first times the ladies were on film. Be that as it may, the cover also promised that the scenes were candid and given my experience with newcomers, I have long been surprised at how well Skow gets great performances so regularly. Again of interest to me was the fact that Skow's name again appeared nowhere on the cover either front or back, strange considering the award winning director is a major selling point thanks to his skill with the camera as well as the ladies.  It was worth a rating of Recommended to me for all the action, the new faces, and the technical handling of the scenes but fans of brand new gals will think it was a "must have" since the ladies looked and performed their roles so well. I can't definitively state that none of them have shot a professional scene before but like so many titles that Vivid sits on for years as part of their marketing approach, Brand New Faces 20 was part of the disturbing trend to hold off on releasing the scenes, from what I gather due to the multitude of material Skow has shot ahead of schedule. Whatever the reality of the marketing claim though, all five of the ladies were breaths of fresh air and deserve some accolades for providing enough fuck for the buck, strokability, and replay value to make this a keeper for your collection. Skow does it again with his attentive nature to make these ladies shine better than his peers could hope to, the series website probably the best thing the company has provided in a long time in terms of consistent quality.

Jenna Haze currently holds the enviable position of being the most widely employed performer in porn, one of the few that I describe as a "porn star", and the rare bird given how she needn't lower her rates like the majority of the industry seems forced to do these days. Given her success over the years, the beauty decided it was high time she start taking a more active role in shooting her scenes, the result being the gal making a distribution deal with Jules Jordan Video to become a director/owner like so many men have done. So far, the reports have been mixed in terms of her freshman release but I was given the opportunity to review her second title, Anal Academics: Special Edition, the double disc set providing a solid cast along with the director herself. I know there has been speculation that this is merely another marketing attempt with Jenna the latest credited "director" in the light of Celeste, Aurora Snow, and so many others that do almost nothing while reaping the accolades of the "real" directors out there but given the lengthy BTS feature showing her taking an active role in the production of the movie, something you just don't see when it comes to the fakers. This time, Jenna uses fetish attire, ladies like Alexis Texas, Missy Stone, Kristina Rose, and several others to rev up the engines, the results being better than I anticipated going into it.  Jenna fans should consider this a "must have" to see her at her best, evolving to accommodate her ideas behind the camera as well as provide her usual strong performances that left most of her peers in the dust. In short, Anal Academics: Special Edition was a double disc well worth checking out and picking up for your collections, Jenna only just beginning to display a knack for how things work best in a production, boosting her above some longstanding female directors that have always rested on their laurels.

 Vince Vouyer is a long time director in porn, his works gathering many awards and his style emulated a number of times by newcomers attempting to catch some of the spark he has managed to elicit from performers during his tenure. While Vince does not stand out as an extremist trying to use circus act sex or other gimmicks to move units, he does show a willingness to push the limits of some ladies in order to get the best possible scene from them, this fact bothering some in the industry even though a number of such women seem to be appreciative for the fact. His latest release is called, oddly enough, Titty Sweat , a title that chooses to focus on the sweaty boobs swaying after a strenuous workout. While it seems an odd title at best, I could not deny the visual appeal of the ladies in the cast as their sweaty titties were displayed in various ways, reminding me of the plethora of competition pieces where oiled up bodies are the focal point. This time, Vince has brought forth ladies like Aiden Starr, Priya Rai, and Kagney Linn Karter to entice the fans with strokable smut, the majority of the footage serving up a reliable set of inspirational scenes to say the least.  It had some classic elements of tease that worked exceptionally well, the choice of casting such a diverse group of ladies providing ample opportunities to see at least a few women you should like. The sexual heat and chemistry was not always consistent but the ever present humor added to the fun as did the extras, the result being the movie earned a rating of Recommended. In short then, Titty Sweat benefitted by the inclusion of gals like Aiden Starr, Kagney Linn Karter, and Tory Lane as much as any of the others, the direction of the movie showing some minor rough edges but all well within the usual parameters for works done by Vince in the past. If you are a fan of the numerous titles involving oiled up ladies that have come out of late, you will probably find this one equally appealing for the same reasons, meriting some added attention for your self-service needs.

Mike John is probably the best POV director in porn given his body of work over the years, his other gonzo fuck flicks also showing a substantial level of skill and experience that few of his peers have acquired. Now that he releases all of his movies at Jules Jordan Video, his fans always manage to have something to look forward to each month, the double disc offerings providing not just a great quantity of sexual exploits but also a lot of quality that his younger peers have yet to develop. His latest release came in the other day and I got right to working on this review, the movie in question called  Jerk Off Material #3: Special Edition. The title says it all but my early observation was that this included a variety of styles fans appreciate Mike for, including some POV scenes, blowbang, and interracial, the selection of ladies including young and seasoned veterans alike with Tim Von Swine assisting as that lovable lug can do when called upon to drop his pants in the name of hope by all those viewers out there that are sick of the muscular pretty boys getting all the action.  It was not an over the top gonzo featuring circus act sex or specifically devoted to any particular kink but a nice assortment of scenes with stroke potential. The amount of fuck for the buck secured, Mike and Tim proved to be on their game (someone out there, please give Tim a shot at ownership, his talents are too solid to waste), and the plethora of pussy deployed here should work for old and new fans alike. The technical aspects were decent and the extras included a very entertaining BTS, all proving to be worthy of a rating of at least Recommended or better, depending on exactly what you are looking for. In short,  Jerk Off Material #3 showcased some fine talent such as Avy Scott, Aiden Starr, newcomer Katie St. Ives, and Aurora Snow is such a way that it was true to the advertised word so give it a look.

Travis Knight is synonymous with Gina Lynn Productions these days, the guy married to the leading lady who also assists in providing ideas to make their scenes the best the pair can come up with. One of my biggest complaints about their movies for some time now is the limited number of scenes that Gina herself fully participates in though, that dilemma solved by the thoughtfully made Double DD's & Derrieres 4 , which showed the couple listen to reviews (and fans) to give us what we really want when we pick up their company titles. This time, the emphasis was on big breasts, Gina leading the pack of sexy babes that also included Jayden Jaymes, Jenna Presley, and Amy Ried having as much fun as they could with their host (and a few select meat puppets). When I picked up the DVD, I was surprised at how much Amy is starting to look like contract cutie Jessica Drake these days, though each is not without their own charms; a definite plus for me.  It had the most Gina Lynn fuck for the buck of any movie in recent memory, fans of the curvy cutie certainly needing to consider this one a "must have" their collections should not be without. For a general gonzo loving audience, I thought it merited a rating of Recommended, the abundance of Gina material enough to place it on my easy to reach shelf beside my DVD player until her next outing of similar nature comes out. In short, Double DD's & Derrieres 4 had some very curvy tits and asses so you really can't go wrong picking up a copy, especially if you are into Gina Lynn as a performer. I would have appreciated better extras and maybe a fifth scene but they would have amounted to icing on the cake; the movie well worth a look or ten as is.

Ray Bones and Diabolic have been offering a variety of gonzo movies in recent years, the general rule of thumb being to capture the essence of the scene without a lot of frills, succeeding as often as not in providing strokable porn with a decent amount of energy, replay value, and strokability. The latest pairing of this director and company is with No Swallowing Allowed #16, the movie dedicated to ladies that enjoy getting a wad of genetic juice launched on their face. This time, the cast included hotties like Kristina Rose, Avy Scott, and Kagney Linn Karter so I felt pretty secure that there would be some quality footage happening as the usual mopers were sent in to work their magic with the ladies. The main selling point this time, at least as advertised, was the fact that there would be "100% face blasts!" so I kept my scorecard handy to ensure this promise was lived up to, with some passionate pounding of pussies included as well.  It definitely had some ups and downs, thankfully starting and ending on strong notes. Kristina Rose and Avy Scott were the two highlight performances here, Asa Akira also in the running to make the show well worth a rating of Recommended. The strokability, replay value, and amounts of fuck for the buck merited such a rating overall, the minimal extras and wavering technical values needing an upgrade in several instances for consideration of even better grades. In short, No Swallowing Allowed #16 suffered no shortage of name recognition value and it is safe to say that Ray is improving his game over time, the pairings needing more spark or chemistry to really shine yet I could not fault the choices made in terms of the ladies present.

 Chris Streams is one of my favorite directors at one of my favorite companies, Jules Jordan Video, so it makes sense that anytime he releases one of his double disc sets, I pay close attention. His last outing was a bit off the beaten path as he traveled across the southern hemisphere in search of Brazilian hotties but he came back to the states for a bit of fun more recently to release Internal Damnation 3: Special Edition . As in previous volumes of the series, the emphasis was on internal creampies, several of them this time being anal oriented for those keeping track. The quick version of the review is that all the ladies received one too, hotties like Aubrey Addams doing her first DP, Mason Moore giving her sultry best, or curvy Jayden Jaymes offering up one of her best scenes to date. So, if you're looking for internal ejaculation scenes, you're definitely come to the right place.  It might not have lived up to the superior Internal Damnation 2 but it was truthfully advertised and contained a lot of fuck for the buck, including some wonderful extras, a solid cast of characters, and high end production values so I rated it as Recommended to say the least, perhaps more if you really like a few of the performers. Chris knows what people want and is very good about giving it to them, my own devotion to cream pies limited to my private life for those times when my female friends don't want to swallow. In short, if you are looking for internal ejaculation scenes that are realistic and provide some truly heated performances, Internal Damnation 3: Special Edition would be the way to go compared to most of the competition these days so give it a look.

Matti Klatt has been a director/production assistant at Hustler Video for some time now even if no one seems to know much about him. Having seen enough of his work to consider him "porn friendly", I wondered what he would bring to the table when he took over the "Barely Legal"series from Erica McLean after Barely Legal #94. Well, I missed out on his debut effort but was surprised to find Barely Legal #96 waiting for me the other day, both the standard and high definition editions coming in for comparison purposes to review. When I look back at the series as a whole, I've found that many volumes suffered from using ladies well past their teen and hardly qualifying as "barely legal" but the hope always remains that a performer will break free of the mold and show some extra enthusiasm or spark meriting additional attention. This time, the company seemed as though it was trying to upgrade the series before the 100th edition, Matti providing a pretty decent, if truncated set of scenes.  It was not the best work I've seen from the guy but it was a definite step up for the series as he tried to provide a more varied experience with the ladies, altering the usual formula a bit to leave off the spoken introductions that no one believes. The levels of heat, chemistry, strokability, and replay value were a notch higher than usual too, meriting a rating of barely Recommended for me to reward the efforts with. In short, Barely Legal #96 (SD & Blu-ray) was more fun for me to appreciate than Barely Legal #94 had been, the high definition Blu-ray version adding something to the mix that was hard to define but welcome all the same. I look forward to seeing if the director can keep his momentum going with additional volumes in the series or if some more changes are made to liven it up even more.

Robby D. pulls triple duty these days with his directing for his own label, assisting his gal pal Celeste, and his increasingly large body of work at Digital Playground under his own name so some people might be concerned that he is spread too thin to maintain his level of quality productions. Having seen a great many of them over the years, I can safely say that he has a long way to go before that happens, his formulaic approach to the various "Jack" series making it easy to shoot if a bit tougher to cast, his biggest trick being finding performers that want to work together. Last month saw the return of one of his most popular series with Jack's Teen America: Mission 23 Blu-ray, the series often dedicated to youthful ladies seeking to win a fictitious beauty contest by means of sexual persuasion. Robby is the lead male character Jack, a man kicked out of the family fortune and forced to make it on his own, resulting in his shooting porn to pay the bills. The leads this time are lovely Riley Steele, Angelina Valentine, and even Stoya fresh of one of her wins when this was shot awhile back.   It had several very heated performances displaying strokability, replay value, and a lot of fuck for the buck so I rated it as Recommended. Riley Steele was a dream come true, Angelina Valentine was great, and Stoya showed she could still have fun with Scott like the good old days. In short, Jack's Teen America: Mission 23 was worth waiting for so when it came out last month, I was glad I reserved a copy for yourself as Riley really impressed me as something special, the gal finally strutting her stuff as a full fledged contract performer to seek out (giving Erik Everhard a run for his money).  The high definition once again upgraded the visual elements to the point where fans of Riley Steele should move this one up their list of titles to check out, her performances getting better with time.

Epiphora found two alt-porn titles worth looking into: A circus is a hard thing to pull off in a porno, which is why I was half-expecting the scenery of Erica McLean's Hardcore Circus to be a room with a couple balloons in it. In this sense, I grossly underestimated both the set and the costuming of Hardcore Circus. Almost all of the scenes take place in a large circus tent littered with sawdust, a swing, a cage, a trampoline, and other fitting props. And the performers are decked out in some serious carnivalesque outfits: top hats, pinstriped shirts, gaudy jewelry, suspenders, a sequined gymnast/trapeze suit.  The loose storyline is that pornographer/director Erica McLean slips on a puddle of lube and knocks herself unconscious. The circus happens in her mind. The scenes are not at all connected, but Super 8 footage of circus performers pole dancing, walking on stilts, hula hooping, fire-breathing, etc. is dispersed between scenes, lacing the whole film with an authentic circus atmosphere.  The final tally is this: three awesome scenes, one decent scene, and three boring/Ron Jeremy scenes. The awesome scenes are thoroughly awesome and worth seeing -- especially Audrey Hollander and Otto Bauer's life-changing lion taming scene. But the other portion of the action in Hardcore Circus just isn't as exciting as the lavish costuming and scenery tempt you into believing; and Pussy a Go Go is a fake documentary about a traveling burlesque carnival show -- or, rather, the (often sexual) exploits that go on behind the scenes. It is stuffed with interviews, hilarious character names, psychedelic video effects, and rambunctious music, all edited together into a fast-paced conglomeration resembling a porno only when cocks and pussies start coming out. Pussy a Go Go is also entirely improvised, which really adds to its charm and atmosphere.  There's no denying that Pussy a Go Gois entertaining, and it will probably be a long time before I'm so amused by the stuff between a porn film's sex scenes. The improvised dialogue works incredibly well, and the documentary style makes everything feel so real I almost believe Pussy a Go Go exists. With the exception of Roxy and Vin's scene, the longer scenes rocked -- but the shorter scenes harmed the atmosphere of the film more than they helped it. Nonetheless, Pussy a Go Go is a highly enjoyable porn film, especially if you're in the mood to spend two hours engulfed in a world of burlesque dancing, trash talking, and Evan Stone being a carnie.

Harry Johnson found some worthy porn too such as: Too Small to Take it All is a release that was made just for me. That's right, it's all mine! At least that's what I thought when I checked out the roster of performers. Rebeca Linares, Lexi Belle, and Asa Akira are three of my top five favorite stars working right now (Eva Angelina and Tory Lane are the other two). As soon as I saw the stars I knew I simply had to pick this one up, and man am I glad I did! This release not only features the three aforementioned hotties, but it also includes Tanner Mayes, Christa Moore, Shawna Lenee, and a whole lot of fantastic sex. Danny Case outdid himself with this release and it's one of the better films I've seen in a while.  Too Small to Take it All is a fantastic release with some great sex and hot girls. Each and every scene has something to offer, though the four one on one scenes are definitely better than the threesome. Even so, the entire cast pulls out some amazing performances here with and that makes this DVD one of the more solid productions I've seen in a long time; Fishnets #10 continues the tradition of servicing fans of the fishnet fetish and giving other viewers plenty of eye-candy to behold. With names such as Priya Rai, Kimberly Kane, and Jayden James on the roster you just know that there's going to be some great sex. For what it's worth, there really is some fine stuff here. The five scenes included here do tend to vary in terms of quality, but I suppose that's to be expected from most any release.  Fishnets 10 is an all around solid release by Zero Tolerance and director Mike Quasar. The five girls that are here all do an incredible job and there really isn't a single bad scene among the five that are present. I'd have to say that Priya and Kiera's scenes are the better of what's available here, though the rest are most definitely worthwhile and something you'll enjoy coming back to. Whether or not fishnets are your thing, the bottom line is this release is packed with hot sex, hot girls, and plenty of reasons to recommend it.

Apache Warrior then came up with a quartet of titles to check into such as: Fuck A Fan is from the studio Immoral Productions. It is directed by Hall of Famer Jim Powers. The premise of this movie is all about regular fans getting to fuck a porn star. The website http://www.fuckafan.com/allows people to apply in order to screw their favorite adult actress. I suppose it is a way for the porn star to thank members of her fan base in a more intimate setting instead of their routine signing events. Porno Dan is the host of the festivities in several of the scenes. Reality porn has definitely taken a different shift in matters that now allows regular guys to interact with the stars and to fuck them every which way they can. When I first saw the title of this movie, I was intrigued by it. I wanted to see if the guys would feel intimidated or relaxed. Also, it was important for me to see how much enthusiasm the porn stars would really feel about this arrangement. How much effort would she give? After seeing this movie, all of the fans are excited out of their minds. However, five of the six actresses gaveit their all except for one who would not even fake it for her fan. Fans are important aspects to the adult industry and a porn star should try to make him feel great even if she has to fake it and let's face it, porn stars do fake their "satisfaction" once in a while in their scenes anyway; Back Strokes & Toilette Fantasies: An Ode to Henri Pachard is a nice and poignant movie about one of the best directors that the adult industry has ever had the privilege of sitting in a director's chair. As it is stated on the movie, it's "dedicated in loving memory of Ron Sullivan aka Henri Pachard: June 4, 1939 - September 27, 2008." This film is a mix of sex scenes and video commentaries of this great movie maker. As Paul Thomas easily states, he was the "primo director of X-rated movies in the East Coast in the '70's and '80's." Henri Pachard was also known as Ron Sullivan. He began his career in the late 1970's. Mr. Pachard had a fetish for toilets and that's why this movie has toilets in it. It's only fitting. Thus, the sex vignettes are odes to this type of fetish that Henri Pachard enjoyed filming. The video accolades come from past mega-star legends like Ona Zee, Georgina Spelvin, and Sharon Kane to Paul Thomas, Herschel Savage, and Roy Karch. These personal commentaries about the director give good insight on Henri Pachard's professional career as well as his life in battling his illness. These personal comments are mixed throughout the movie. Hershcel Savage and Paul Thomas give the most insightful and emotional comments; My Friend's Hot Mom Volume 18 is the eighteenth installment to this very popular and highly successful series for the studio Naughty America. For the most part, the premise to this series is all about horny older women who seduce their son's or daughter's adult friends. It is one of the best MILF (Mothers I Love to Fuck) series that is available. Other MILF related titles that Naughty America has in its stable are My First Sex Teacher (in my opinion, the best of any Naughty America series) and Seduced By a Cougar.  This eighteenth installment of My Friend's Hot Mom is a good movie. It's not one of its' best in this series, but it still gets the work done in satisfying the viewer; and Tristan Taormino's Expert Guide to Anal Pleasure for Men  is from Vivid Entertainment's successful educational line. It is hosted by Tristan Taormino who is very viewer- friendly in her approach in teaching this subject matter. Her easy-going style and down-to-earth personality allow the viewer to focus on her every word and to retain it despite the subject matter. It is safe to say that most men feel uneasy about anal sex on men. That is why Ms. Taormino's approach is so inviting and refreshing. She explains the proper way of performing the activity while her cast perform it. It's a very good way of educating the viewer. The uneasiness factor is removed. I actually got turned on a whole lot while Penny Flame was warming up Devin and performing anal sex on him.  Penny Flame also receives high marks in making this movie very viewable to men. She does a fine job in demonstrating on how to pleasure her male partner and making it a turn-on.

Dr. Jay is another Texan that provides Texas-sized reviews, his name bandied about by several companies as a man to listen to so we were happy he decided to join us recently, his reviews well regarded by a lot of people:  Writing a review of Into the Sunset  is bittersweet for me. Bitter, because this will be legendary Sunset Thomas' last on-screen fuck. Sweet, because at least she made one more movie for us to enjoy!  Sunset's final scene has good and not-so-good points. She, as always, is a fantastic fuck. However, amateur Chris, the fan who is the object of the entire movie, gets less than his fair share of Sunset's pussy. And, he never gets to pop. I can imagine how hard it must be for an ordinary guy to perform on camera. However, the "Sunset Thomas fan" in me really wanted him to get more out of his encounter with Sunset and her fantastic body.  Otherwise, Into the Sunset  is a well-made flick. It was directed by well-regarded Axel Braun and features nice locations, a well-developed plot, above-average acting on the part of the girls and guys, and good--if not stellar--sex; You & Us is a five-scene all-sex, boy/girl, and couples-friendly movie in which the sex scenes revolve around the aftermath of commitment-free relationships. Scott Nails enjoys fucking Angelina Armani, but not enough to commit to her. So, after telling her to get lost while his semen still drips from her face, he hangs around a bar and picks up Nikki Benz for a one-time fling. Asian superstar Katsuni, fresh from a break-up with a boyfriend, frequents the same bar and hooks up--once--with Danny Mountain. James Deen, depressed and lonely after a breakup, later gives Katsuni a call and, in the hottest--yet most tender--scene of the movie (Scene Five), the two get together for some real love-making; In a certain sense, three of the scenes in  Lesbian Hospital 2 aren't even "sex" scenes in the "traditional" sense since all the participants don't pleasure each other. Instead, one girl--who happens to come to the "Lesbian Hospital" for sexual dysfunction treatment--is the center of attention of at least four women whom I call "the team," in deference to Dr. House and his teamof medical specialists. I guess one could call these scenes a sort of all-girl gangbang in which four or five women do everything in their considerable--and quite learned--power to make one gorgeous woman cum...and cum...and cum...and cum some more. This is my first review of a Girlfriends Films movie and I'm very impressed. The director (who's unidentified) and studio did a very nice job with the sex, the scenarios, and the production values (nice sets, wardrobe, and even musical soundtracks). I think I'm going to anxiously wait for new lesbian releases from this studio; and Neo Pornographia 5 is the most recent episode of director Michael Ninn's extremely unique series. These movies are, in essence, infomercials in which the remarkable and extremely delectable Nicki Hunter tries to entice you with one or more of her nubile young "holes." You're a very particular client with extremelyrare and demanding sexual tastes. It's Nicki's job to introduce you to the most stimulating sexual performers she can find and then make them audition for you. Damn, not only is she a fantastic talent scout, but she is also very adept in getting her discoveries to do their very best to win your approval.

The good doctor also worked himself to the bone (pun intended) on such titles as: Real Wife Stories 3 is a five-scene vaginal-only movie featuring the busty girls of Brazzers.com. Three of the scenes are boy/girl all-sex scenes and two are "swinging" scenes in which horny girlfriends exchange each other's husbands. There's also a full-length sixth scene, included as a bonus, that features Melissa Lauren and Jordan Ash. Overall, Real Wife Stories 3 is a very worthwhile watch. The titillating scenarios and the hard--yet couples-friendly--sex is definitely worth a look;  Glamour Girls is a conventional five-scene boy/girl movie that gets its name from the glamour photography shoots that are included in the set-up footage prior to each scene. Clips of each girl's glamour photo session are stitched together with clips of an on-camera interview to create a very effective way for us to learn about the woman we're about to see fuck--and get fucked. The scene set-ups also include some hot and sexy dance routines that oftentimes include segments in which the girls lube their fine and sexy bodies with oil.  Elegant Angel, the producer of Glamour Girls, always releases movies that I like. In particular, I'm very partial to their squirting flicks. And, I like their emphasis on the girls' pleasure as well as the guys'. However, I must say that the quality of their videography has improved to the point where it's better than most. In particular, director William H. did a very fine job of shooting this movie. Not only are all the technical aspects top notch, but the aesthetic features are first-class, too; Porn Fidelity 18 features five fine women...Kelly Madison, Ricki White, Jayden James, Persia Pele, and Angelina Valentine. Kelly is one of my inaugural Must-See Girls (2007) and, at 41 years of age, is fucking amazing. Jayden James is one of the most beautiful women ever to grace the blue screen and Angelina Valentine is, I think, the hottest performer of 2009. Ricki and Persia are damned fine, too. So, you simple cannot beat the first-class A+ list girls you'll see naked and horny in Porn Fidelity 18. One of the best features of the Porn Fidelity scenes is their scenarios. While most porn directors give little--if any--thought to setting up sex scenes, Ryan and Kelly go all out and, it appears, spare little expense. In this episode, Scenes Two (a blushing bride turns a celibate minister into a raging stud) and Three (a hotter-than-hell female firefighter takes on an even-hotter-than-hell female news reporter) are absolutely superb; The girls in Spring Fling are outstanding. They're beautiful, hot, sexy, great fucks, and, best of all, three of them are winners of my Dr. Jay's Must-See Girls Awards (Alexis Love [2008], Shawna Lenee, and Sunny Lane [both 2009]). A fourth girl, Faye Reagan, is on my watch list for my 2010 awards. So, you simply cannot ask for a hotter cast. In fact, Scene Five, which features all the aforementioned Must-See Girls, is like a dream-cum-true for me. Damn, I'd like to be in the middle of all that Must-See flesh!  Although there's no anal or edgy stuff in Spring Fling, the sex (with the exception of Scene Two which is, frankly, below average) is enjoyable and very fulfilling both from the performers' perspective and ours as viewers.

The Horny Housewife then came in with a couple of titles to end our look at various top picks, starting with Abbie Cat vs Angelica Heart from director Christoph Clark and released by Evil Angel was a solid as a rock title in terms of hot sex. While the technical aspects of the release could have been notched up a bit the sex on screen was what drove this movie. Abbie Cat is as adorable as can be and as nasty as they get and the same can be said for  Angelica Heart. Overall I found this to be a very enjoyable title that I recommend you pick up and check out; and ending with Girls Will Be Girls # 5 for the most part was a very solid and enjoyable. The good was provided from some spectacular scenes featuring  Kagney lynn Carter & Harmony Paxson  as well as  Karlie Montana & Louisa Lanewood. While those two really shined for me but on the other side of the coin  Scene #2 featuring Nikita Von James & Jazy Berlin and the final scene with Shawna Lenee and Lela Star were the lowlights of the disc. The final scene was the most disappointing and it really is a shame what plastic surgery and a lack of any heat whatsoever can do to a scene. Lela was once amazing and now I can hardly make it though one of her scenes. Overall the first four scenes ranged from spectacular to average and thats why I recommend you check out this flick. If your a fan of Karlie Montana, Kagney lynn, Louisa Lanewood or Harmony Paxson  this is a definite must have pickup for you.
