These films have exceptionally high production values, and attention to lovely people in lovely sets with lovely lighting having a lovely time fucking.
Amorous Sexcapades
Playgirl
Amorous Sexcapades is porn for straight women who like looking at men with hot bodies and big cocks. (Of course, the women are also gorgeous, so it's pleasant for men to watch, too, making it quite good for couples). The women narrate their fantasies and experiences in voiceover, giving each scene a definite point of view. The first, "Kinks and Brains," has a hard-driving rock soundtrack as busty beauty Gia Paloma, decked out in black lingerie and bearing a riding crop, has her way with a bound and blindfolded TJ Cummings. "Cabin Fever" is more romantic, with Lola making love to Tyler Knight making love for the first time before a fire. In "Hot Rod Lover," Anthony Hardwood fucks Faith in, on, and around her red convertible. The next scene has Talon and Sharon Wild as mechanics working on cars in a shop and engaging in some consensual workplace sexual harassment, with playful flirting escalating to hard sex. Kurt Lockwood is a rockstar in "Watching him Play," with adorable Samantha Ryan as the lucky groupie he takes home. The oddest scene is "Incandescent Love," with Gia Paloma wrapping Mario Rossi in strings of colored lights after a party and fucking him by the light of, well, him (and a lot of candles). There's a bonus scene with Randy Spears and Charmane Star, and a couple of solo male cheesecake scenes too. This is good for straight women looking for some familiar fantasies (and some less familiar) enacted onscreen, or for couples — it's definitely entry-level porn, with a soft-focus and a sense of fun. (2008, 101 min.)

Cast: Mario Rossi, Anthony Hardwood, Kurt Lockwood, Talon, TJ Cummings, Tyler Knight, Faith, Gia Paloma, Lola, Samantha Ryan, Sharon Wild

Andrew Blake® Unleashed
Andrew Blake®
Studio A Entertainment
This is another quality film from Andrew Blake®, the always-stylish director and former fashion photographer. As always, the people are absolutely stunning, and the cinematography is glossy and elegant. This claims to be the first in a series, the Sleepless Nights Collection. This one centers on Selena and Laura Palmer, who receive a magic pendant that brings out their deepest fantasies.

Highly recommended to anyone who has enjoyed Blake's® previous work. He also seems to be getting a bit more erotic and raunchy, which is (in this Blowfishie's opinion) a good thing. This one includes some of our favorite actresses, including Asia Carrera. Winner of the 1996 AVN award for Best All-Sex Film, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography.

(Note: Andrew Blake, according to the box, is a registered trademark of Studio A Entertainment. This raises some interesting questions: if we call someone the "new Andrew Blake®," are we violating the trademark?) (1996, 86 min.)

Cast: Selena, Asia Carrera, Dahlia Grey, Laura Palmer, Lea Martini, Rebecca Lord, Shelby Stevens, Misty Rain, Monique De Moan, Colt Steele, Vince Voyeur, John Decker, Bruno Aissix, Mark Davis

Brea's Crowning Glory
Sky, Laurent
Club Jenna
Brea's Crowning Glory is directed by Laurent Sky, and it comes with all his hallmarks: weird sets, strange outfits, quick cuts, flashy camera tricks, and, as always, women rotating on hidden turntables. (Perhaps the last is the director's particular tiny niche fetish?) The film also has his usual wonderful eye for creating hot hardcore scenes, though — love or hate Sky's style, he knows how to shoot a couple (or threesome, or moresome) screwing beautifully. The gorgeous Brea Bennett — a headliner by virtue of this being her first boy-girl feature — is up first, dressed in a deliciously skimpy outfit (and an odd belt with an electronic buckle that has the word "Sexy" scrolling across it), giving a fantastic blowjob and bending over for top-notch fucking. Tiffany Rayne is up next, on her knees in a grungy gym where a boxer and his cigar-smoking coach take turns fucking her mouth and shagging her. McKenzie Lee is the standout of the film, incomparably beautiful and sexy in merrywidow lingerie, enthusiastically and messily taking on two men in a wonderful variety of positions, culminating in a passionate double penetration. Sue Diamond joins Brea Bennett for a girl-girl scene, which is perfectly watchable, but doesn't reach the heights of earlier scenes. Hilary Scott and Mika Tan finish things off with a girl-girl-boy threeway, with a rough blowjob for Mika and fantastic anal with Hilary. It's a stylish, sexy film, and if the directorial flourishes are sometimes distracting, they don't ultimately detract from the very real hotness revealed here. Extras include an interesting audio commentary from the director and Brea Bennett. (2006, 1 hr. 35 min.)

Cast: Brea Bennett, Sue Diamond, Mika Tan, McKenzie Lee, Hillary Scott, Tiffany Rayne, Jean Val Jean, Tommy Gunn, Marco Banderas, Marcus London, Travis Knight, Dick Nasty

[RECOMMENDED!]

Dark Garden
Michael Ninn
From the acclaimed director of Latex, Shock, and Ritual comes one of the most visually exquisite adult movies we've seen in a long, long time. Beautifully filmed, heavy on the atmosphere, with expert camerawork and lighting that often moves past mere skill into real artistry, Dark Garden has an elegant, smoky cinematic style that's a strong sensual pleasure to watch. Set in a Bladerunner-esque retro-future world of opulence and corruption, the story centers on a drug-like implant that creates a hallucinatory total-sensory experience directly in the user's brain (a la Brainstorm or Johnny Mnemonic). With gorgeous performers of both genders, the sex is stylish and graceful, while maintaining quite a bit of heat — the scene with Julie Ashton and Julian is particularly noteworthy, gorgeous and passionate, and Nikita and Lisa Belle are beautifully androgynous (and very hot) in their girl-girl scene. The story is interesting (if a bit pretentious), the music is quite listenable, and the costumes are first-rate, classy and elegant — a refreshing change from the tacky glitz that typically adorns porn actors. Great for couples who want porn that's explicit without being tacky. A class act all around (and winner of AVN's Best Video award for 1999). (1999, 115 min.)

Cast: Nikita, Vicca, Juli Ashton, Lisa Belle, Lea Martini, Mia Smiles, Julian, Ramon, Michael J. Cox, Kyle Stone, John Decker, Tyce Buné, Jack, Garfield

Erotic Visions
Cameron Grant
Ultimate
Organized as a series of shorts ("Voyeur," "Saturnalia," etc.), Cameron Grant's Erotic Visions combines costumes, performances, hot sex, and interesting high concepts. It's way cool, and it definitely puts the lie to the now-common theory in the industry that you can have quality, or you can have heat, but you can't have both. Great for a couple who is left cold by typical "couple's films." (1995, 90 min.)

Cast: Olivia, Julian, Krista Maze, Ginger Hill, Rebecca Lord, Vyonne, Kia, Jessica James, Roxanne Hall, Tammy Parks, Jen Teal, Jeanna Fine, Taylor St. Clair, Felecia, Serenity, Peter North, Jonathan Morgan

Fantasy Chamber
Cameron Grant
A marvelous film from Cameron Grant, director of Erotic Visions and The Dinner Party (two of our favorite and most popular videos). Another of his series-of-fantasy-vignettes videos, this one takes place entirely inside the mind of a woman immersed in a sensory-deprivation chamber (or does it...?). Like Grant's other work, Fantasy Chamber combines both high production values and intense, nasty sex; the sex in this one is definitely on the nasty side, with a hefty dose of buttfucking and a higher-than-average dose of kink — kink that is both classier and more genuine-feeling than is usual in most porn movies. The scenarios are imaginative (this reviewer's girlfriend was particularly impressed with the latex-lesbian three-way which won the AVN award for Best All-Girl Sex Scene), the camerawork is beautiful, the costumes kick butt, and the performers are quite attractive and seem genuinely engaged with what they're doing. Nikole Lace is especially yummy and makes fabulous sex-noises. Highly recommended. (1995, 90 min.)

Cast: Nikole Lace, Kylie Ireland, Rebecca Lord, Barbara Doll, Vanessa Chase, Felecia, Misty Rain, Bianca, Jen Teal, Sindee Coxx, Anna Malle, Jordan Lee, Steve Drake, T.T. Boy, Peter North, Nick East, Steven St. Croix, Toni Tedeschi, Vince Voyeur, Alex Sanders, Kyle Phillips, Mark Davis

Jenna's Provocateur: Sophia Rossi
Jenna Jameson
Vivid/ Club Jenna
Jenna Jameson is a legend in the business, and one of the only porn stars to become a household name even in mainstream media, so you might worry that her move to directing might be mere gimmickry, using her famous name to draw attention to a mediocre movie. Quite the contrary. Jameson is just as good behind the camera as she is in front of it, maybe even better, and she's created one of the hottest and beautifully designed films this reviewer has ever seen. There hasn't been a porn flick with this much attention to costuming and design since Fashionistas, though Provocateur is blessedly unburdened by plot, and lives up to its "couture film" subtitle. Most of the performers wear several costumes before becoming undressed, from corsets to gowns to lingerie to weirder things (lace chaps, anyone?), and the sets are lavish, opulent, and beautifully designed, a welcome change from the "digital video camera in a hotel room" school of erotic cinema. Even the soundtrack rocks. The attention to detail is astonishing.

Jameson knows what viewers like, and she's tried to include something for everyone. Want to see a luscious brunette gangbanged by three guys in tuxedos? Check. A well-endowed blonde riding a Monkey Rocker sex machine before fucking the old fashioned way? Got it. Two women passionately kissing before one fucks the other up the ass with a strap-on? You're in luck. Tender sex? Sure thing. Rough sex? That too. Women having oral sex on the back of a mechanical bull? (Okay, that one's a little odd, but it's still hot, lace chaps and all.)

This film has the look of high gloss — it's shot on film, with costuming better than many mainstream movies — but the tone is pure, delightful smut. Jameson indulges in a few too many directorial flourishes at the beginning and end of scenes, with color filters, weird lighting, wind machines, quick-cuts, and double exposures, but her camerawork mostly settles down for the important parts, and the action is fantastic. McKenzie Lee's gangbang scene, which opens the film, is the best, followed closely by the final girl-on-girl scene with newcomer Chanel St. James and McKenzie again, but everything in between is great, too. As if that's not enough, there's a bonus disc with behind-the-scenes footage, a photo gallery, and various trailers. Don't miss this, but be warned — it could make other porn pale by comparison.

Won Best Editing - Film at teh 24th Annual AVN Awards. (2006, 1:40)

Cast: Sophia Rossi, Jesse Capelli, Krystal Steal, McKenzie Lee, Ashton Moore, Chanel St. James, Melissa Lauren, Ben English, Marco, Barrett Blade, Scott Nails, Manuel Ferrera and Evan Stone

La Femme Chanel
Bill Fisher
Club Jenna
La Femme Chanel is a series of erotic set-pieces, very well produced and superbly shot, featuring some breathtakingly beautiful women. The first two scenes have a BDSM-lite quality with the trappings of human pony play, featuring hot brunettes wearing bits and bridles and even pulling carts for their whip-wielding masters. The first scene is girl-girl, and after a bit of groping with the bondage headgear in place, the leather gets tossed aside and things settle down to standard girl-girl, but it's still hot. There's more pony play up next with Veronica Jett and Celeste Star in harness for Reno, who rides into the scene on actual horseback looking like an over-buffed romance novel cover, but after they pull his cart around the paddock for a bit they settle down to a good old fashioned three-way, with a nice double blow job and some riding-crop-handle-in-the-ass-action. Chanel St. James is up next wearing lingerie that appears to be made out of eviscerated purses, with lots of buckles and leather, but it's sexy, even though she winds up fucking a guy on the seat of a fork lift and has very scary French fingernails. Scary fingernails are again in evidence in the next scene, a fashion photo shoot with a hot blonde that goes pretty much where you'd expect it to... though it's patently gay-for-pay, the slow kissing is actually hot anyway, and there are more glass toys, which always serve to make a scene more classy. The director seemed to run out of ideas for the next scene — it's just a girl in a dress fucking a sweaty guy in a room — but he returns to weird conceptualization for the final pairing, with Latina Lela Star climbing into a stagecoach to fuck a cowpoke. The action is quite hot overall, and the production values are stellar. The bonus features includes two solo masturbation scenes and about 20 minutes of outtakes culled from all the scenes, plus the usual behind-the-scenes footage and trailers. This one is glossy, exceedingly well made, and just weird enough to be interesting. (2007, 120 min.)

Cast: Chanel St. James, Celeste Star, Lela Star, Diana Doll, Katalina Samora, Rebecca Linares, Veronica Jett, Tony De Sergio, J-Mac, Jordan Ashley, Reno

Seduction
Laurent Sky
Wicked Pictures
Seduction, starring jessica drake, is another artful and stylish blend of porn and fashion from director Laurent Sky. The talent is top-notch, and the scenes are elaborately staged with unusual lighting and other effects, often like sexually-explicit music videos. jessica provides voiceover narration, introducing the scenes — talking about how thoroughly she lusts after the lean and luscious Alektra Blue, say — before following through on her promises. The film begins with a hot blonde-on-brunette girl-girl scene between jessica and Alektra, with ample toy play. Other highlights include blonde Eve Nicholson and Danny Mountain in a scene with futuristic set design, but the emphasis is on good-old-fashioned fucking, culminating in some fine anal. They're outdone by the final scene, with the lovely European Nika Noir fucking Jerry so passionately you'd think it was a real date; her uninhibited naturalness makes a fine contrast with the polished glossiness of the production as a whole. Sky's signature style makes this a compelling sexual vision, combining the fine art of the tease with the final release of explicit action. (2008, 88 min.)

Cast: jessica drake, Alektra Blue, Nika Noir, Eve Nicholson, Ahryan Astyn, Danny Mountain, Derick Pierce, Jerry, Marco Banderas

Way of the Dragon
Celeste
Digital Playground
This has about as much to do with anything in Asia as The Mikado has to do with Japan (that is to say, not much except nice costumes and sets... really quite lovely ones, in the case of this movie). That being said, it's a great movie.

Celeste creates a series of beautifully-shot, wordless vignettes, all moving slowly and stylishly (indeed, it reminds us just a bit of Kabuki in that regard). Some are girl/girl/boy, some are girl/girl, some are just girl, but they all move at a dreamy, delicate pace, nothing like the slam-slam-slam style so popular these days. The videography and art design are gorgeous, sometimes stunning. Although it's not really a "bondage" movie, there's fair amount of very attractive rope bondage, too, and one scene with an actress lashed to a post that's definitely a bit more extreme than we've seen in mainstream porn for a while.

And if AVN creates a "Best and Most Thorough Use of Chopsticks" award, this is a shoo-in.

All of the scenes are worth watching, repeatedly, at great length. The performers are very attractive, both male and female, and there's a lot more female wetness than we usually seen in a mainstream porn movie.

If you are looking for something as interesting and beautiful as a Michael Ninn movie, without Ninn's frenetic editing or sense of cool reserve, Celeste (and this movie) are the movies for you. (2005, 100 min.)

Cast: Sophia Santi, Janine, Charmane Star, Penny Flame, Celeste Star, Jamie Lynn, Marie Luv, Marlena, Jamie Huxley , Sara Stone, Bobbi Blair

Zazel Collector's Edition
Gorgeous, exotic, imaginative, exquisitely well-made... what other extravagant words of praise can we lavish on this video? A series of fantastical vignettes taking place in the mind of a beautiful artist, Zazel has a lush, surreal, other-worldly quality to it, with an inventive eye and a slow, sensual pace. Reaching beyond your usual high production values into real artistry, the movie has some truly stunning work with body paint and costuming, marvelous effects with color and light, and camerawork with a real eye for composition. (It does slip over into pretentious silliness now and then, but we like the movie enough to let that slide.) Clearly a labor of love, it is unlike any porn movie we've seen — which, in this industry, is high praise indeed. Winner of the 1997 AVN awards for Best Group Sex Scene, Best All-Sex Film, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography!

This 2-disc Collector's Edition has a photo gallery, trailers, bonus scenes, cast bios and a sneak peek at Zazel 2. It has been remastered in HD widescreen, but it also works just fine on regular DVD players. (1997)
