Evan Essence
Giovanni
Lennox Films
Evan Essence is the rare porn video that has the name of a male star in the title, which should give you some idea of its intended audience: this is definitely a couples movie, though it would also satisfy porn-loving straight women who like their videos with a lot of romance and beefcake. Each of the vignettes took place during a different time period, from the 1920s to the modern era, with performers in (small amounts of) period costume, adding a nice level of fantasy to the action. Highlights include the opening, with Evan Stone in a cute newsboy cap making love to Lisa Marie, dressed as a flapper with a string of pearls; Gen Padova as a '40s femme fatale meeting up with Jack Lawrence (as a writer or a reporter) in his apartment, drinking wine beside his manual typewrite before pouring wine on his cock and lovingly licking it off; the four-way 1950s scene, complete with jukebox, poodle skirts, car with tailfins, and two guys fucking two very cute girls (Selena Silver and Lainey Baron); and the final scene with Evan and Scarlet O'Whora in a dance club, both covered in paint that glows under blacklight, enjoying some relatively gentle (and very hot) anal sex. The men have washboard abs, big muscles, and bigger cocks, and the women all actively enjoy their company. (2005, 85 min.)

Cast: Lisa Marie, Evan Stone, Gen Padova, Jack Lawrence, Selena Silver, Lainey Baron, Sergio, Kris Slater, Jassie, Damien Childs, Scarlet O'Whora

My Little Minx: A (sort of) SIlent Lesbian Farce
Nica Noelle
Sweetheart Films
My Little Minx: is an all-girl feature subtitled "A (sort of) Silent Lesbian Farce", and it mimics the look of old silent films for much of its length, with black-and-white distressed-looking film effects and title cards inserted to show the dialogue. The old silent style drops away for the sex scenes, though, when sound and color return, and it's an inspired choice that really makes the scenes pop. Aubrey Addams, the minx of the title, works at a lesbian hotel owned by Nina Hartley, where she amuses herself by causing mischief among the guests, spreading lies and attempting seductions. The standout scenes (in glorious full color!) include Indigo Sweet and Sinn Sage in vintage flapper outfits that give way to lingerie and bare skin; Lindsay Meadows and Satine Phoenix having a fight that turns into a fuck; and Ms. Platinum and Randi James breaking up, making up, making out, and making love. Hot lesbian sex and a clever gimmick combine to make this a foxy little minx of a film. (2008, 144 min.)

Cast: Nina Hartley, Michelle Lay, Lindsey Meadows, Satine Phoenix, Indigo Sweet, Sinn Sage, Ms. Platinum, Randi James, Aubrey Addams (non-sex)

Pirates
Joone
Digital Playground
This is a very good porn movie. The budget was huge, the special effects are pretty good (superb by porn-movie standards), and the sex is really, really hot. The reason we hesitated for so long in carrying it is that clearly aspires to be more than that: It wants to be a Real Movie, and to be one of those porn movies that flies from the lower plutonian depths of Porn to the high pure air of Cinema. It's not all that.

But it's a great, rousing and arousing porn flick. Janine is very hot (and does a great acting job) as the pirate princess who is starting to doubt. Jesse Jane and Carmen Luvana are as hot as always. Evan Stone chews the scenery with relish. Steven St. Croix chews the scenery with ketchup. Tommy Gun... well, nice sneer, kiddo. The skeletons are great, the ship exteriors not so much.

You get a really beautiful package, with a three disk set, including an extra disk with the HD-DVD version that should play beautifully on your HD-DVD player and television.

You can, of course, play the main feature disk on any DVD player.

So, no, this is not the cross-over hit that Digital Playground wishes it was, but it's a great porn flick... and really, why ask any more than that?

Won Best Renting and Best Selling Title of the Year at the 24th Annual AVN Awards. (2005, 85 min.)

[RECOMMENDED!]

Pirates 2: Stagnetti's Revenge
Joone
Digital Playground
Pirates 2: Stagnetti's Revenge is a big-budget epic with lots of special effects, lavish sets, an enjoyable pulp fiction adventure plot, and ten sex scenes featuring comely wenches and able-bodied seamen. The leading lights of the main cast are Jesse Jane as a sword-swinging pirate hunter; Evan Stone at his over-the-top best as the captain; and Belladonna as a dangerous female pirate. All the sex scenes are good, though special highlights include Ben English as an island governor with a taste for pirate-roleplaying with a pair of blondes dressed in frills, and that only briefly; Jesse and Belladonna in a catfight that turns erotic; a nine-way orgy in a harem, with lots of anal; and a three-way with Jesse, evil empress Katsuni, and Tommy Gunn. There's a lot of plot breaking up the porny parts, but for those devoted to smut, the special edition has extended versions of the sex, along with a vast quantity of interviews, behind-the-scenes features, and other goodies — three extra discs worth! There's truly a vast quantity of booty to be had here.

Winner of the 2009 AVN Awards for Best Actor (Evan Stone), Best Screenplay (Joone & Max Massimo), Best Special Effects, Best Supporting Actor (Ben English), Best Supporting Actress (Belladonna), Best Video Feature, Best Videography, Best Art Direction, Best Director - Feature (Joone), Best DVD Extras, Best Editing (Joey Pulgades), Best Girl-Girl Sex Scene (Jesse Jane & Belladonna), Best High-Definition Production, Best Makeup, and Best Overall Marketing Campaign - Individual Project.

Reform School Girls 4
Mark Stone
Wicked
Reform School Girls 4 is a welcome addition to the venerable tradition of Bad Girl Porn, where foul-mouthed, cigarette-smoking, sex-crazed, confined women (be they in prison, boarding school, attitude-adjustment camp, or similar) use their sexuality to take advantage of others (and are sometimes taken advantage of themselves). The best part of this movie is a simple, and consistent, choice of costuming: every single woman appears in an impossibly short ruffled plaid schoolgirl skirt (usually with the traditional tied-under-the-bust clinging top, and stockings or knee-socks). The image of a girl in a tiny plaid skirt touches a deep fetishistic nerve in the libidos of a large swath of the male population, and it ups the hotness level in every single scene, especially when the skirts stay on during the fucking. Not that the scenes need much hotting up: there's lots of anal, rough blowjobs, all-girl three-ways, and, because this is a reform school, even some prison-movie-trappings as well, including a bit of caged heat with a girl locked in a cell until she agrees to be a good girl. Dana DeArmond is the cutest, and turns in some of the finest performances, but these girls all fill out their skirts wonderfully — and seeing a hot blonde, in a tiny skirt, anally fucked while she howls with pleasure? That's a lesson you'll not soon forget. (2008, 129 min.)

Cast: MacKenzee Pierce, Dana DeArmond, Aiden Starr, Aubrey Addams, Cara Dee, Faye Reagan, Kelly Skyline, Sindee Jennings, Alan Stafford, Criss Strokes, Lee Stone, Nick Manning, Rocco Reed, Voodoo

Sugar Town
Dave Naz
Vivid Alt
Sugar Town is a lighthearted homage to '70s exploitation movies, with a little blaxploitation, some sexploitation, tons of tongue-in-cheek retro costuming, and ridiculous pimp hats. The tone is set from the opening credits, complete with wide lapels, muscle cars, hot pants, and oversized sunglasses. A cast of hot mamas and bad brothers strut through the mean streets, pausing from time to time to kick ass (and fuck it, too). There's nothing much in the way of a plot, which is too bad — a good '70s exploitation spoof should have an incomprehensible and silly plot, ideally — but as a catchall of retro sex scenes it works just fine. Standout moments include Mr. Marcus rocking Britney's world on a naugahyde couch, with lots of fine anal, and Ashley Blue giving Tyler a sloppy blowjob followed by some athletic ass-fucking. The final scene, with gorgeous busty Jada Fire wrapped in skinlight gold lamé taking on Gorgus Drae, is a dy-no-mite climax. Can you dig it? (2008, 101 min.)

Cast: Ashley Blue, Britney Stevens, Tori Black, Whitney Stevens, Jada Fire, Tyler Knight, Mr. Marcus, Julius Ceazher, Tony T, Gorgus Drae
