Some films are just so bizarre that they need to be seen to be believed ... also known as the Dark Brothers Memorial Catalog Page.
Broken
Dave Navarro
Vivid/Teravision
Broken does not begin in an erotic fashion -- it starts with Sasha Grey weeping uncontrollably and masturbating on the bathroom floor. The scene is soaked in shadows, and her acting is painfully realistic. Pain is a recurring theme in this ambitious film, and director Dave Navarro is gifted at making viewers empathize with the pain his characters experience. The first real sex scene has dominant Mark Davis manhandling Sasha roughly. The lighting is strange, intense, and washed-out, and the dialogue is often inaudible.... though there are Italian subtitles. (An artistic touch that doesn't immediately make a lot of sense, but it's certainly memorable.) There's lots of choking and slapping, and the scene isn't particularly linear -- there are jump-cuts to mid-fuck, mid-blowjob, and back again -- and then things get really strange. (How strange? Sasha cooks up Mark's jizz in a spoon, sucks it into a syringe, ties off her arm, and then, presumably, injects it into a vein.) The next sex scene has Jenna Haze and Tommy Gunn in a hackneyed porn set-up: he's the pizza guy, she's the girl who wants to tip him with sexual favors. But most of the non-sex action is on fast-forward, with them zooming around the room with sped-up chipmunk voices, only slowing to normal speed when she drops to suck his cock. But you only see a moment of that before the camera angle changes and reveals that we're on the scene of a porno, with several couples being shot simultaneously. Pretty soon we're dipping in and out of those other scenes, with Spyder Jonez fucking Victoria Sin, and a point-of-view blowjob with Sasha sucking off a camera-wielding Marco Banderas, and Lisa Daniels and Kayla Paige going at it girl-on-girl. About half the movie's running time is spent on this set, jumping from scene to scene and back again, with performers wandering around and joining each other, until finally it's a kind of cooperative orgy. Hot? Yes. Confusing? Also yes. The final scene has Sasha returning to Mark Davis, wielding a shotgun, and forcing him to do some rather humiliating things. For a moment, you might think you understand what's happening -- she's a porn star in an abusive relationship, who can't take anymore. But in its final minute, the film manages to pull another mindfuck on the viewer, and it's both disturbing and quite satisfying. This is weird, ambitious, and hot, well worth your time. (2007, 1 hr 15 min)

Dark Side
James Avalon
Red Light District
Penny Flame has a tryst with her lover... and then her husband's goons break in, and kill him. Wait, no, it's not that at all. She's not even married. No, wait, if it's not, what's her husband doing in a stretch limo with the goons and two "interns." No, wait...

This is surrealistic silliness, something like an extremely hardcore Twilight Zone episode with a sense of humor. The sex is the point here, and the sex is athletic, raunchy, a bit rough in places, and very energetic. This is LA porn of a very high plane; it deserved the battery of awards it received at the last AVN show.

Penny Flame plays the woman whose reality keeps shifting under her, uh, feet. Randy Spears (yay, Randy!) is great as her possibly-husband. The group sex scene with her, Randy, another guy and three other girls is simply terrific, everyone romping up a storm. In fact, for multiple-girls-on-one-guy scenes, this movie is nearly definitive.

Two-disk set, in a slipcover case, with lots and lots of extras.

Won the 2006 AVN Awards for Best Couples Sex Scene-Film (Penny Flame & Herschel Savage), Best Supporting Actor-Film (Randy Spears, yay Randy!), Best Oral Sex Scene-Film (Alicia Alighatti, Hillary Scott, Randy Spears), Best Group Sex Scene-Film (Alicia Alighatti, Penny Flame, Dillan Lauren, Hillary Scott, Randy Spears, John West), and Best Non-Sex Performance (William Margold).

Far Away
Vivid Videos
David Stanley
So, this movie doesn't start off too surreal: A girl's last single girlfriend is getting married, and she's depressed because her boyfriend is off in Los Angeles running a strip club. So, she decides to go out to LA and be with him...

And then things get surreal. She finds LA, but not LA as we know it: It's a strange land full of anonymous sex, porn stars, and weirdos. OK, maybe that is LA as we know it, but she seems to find it all, in rapid succession. It's a (very funny) parody of how people view Los Angeles, and it works remarkably well. The sex, while standard Los Angeles porn sex, is superb examples of the genre, and the cast manages to get some acting in even during the sex. And Evan Stone is, as always, the comic center.

The only real problem, as with all Vivid releases, is the mass of really tacky ads that they insist on putting at the front of disk. Fast-forward is all we can recommend. (2006, 86 min.)

Cast: Tawny Roberts, Nicole Sheridan, Stephanie Swift, Holly Hollywood, Voodoo, Evan Stone, Eric Masterson, Chris Cannon

Pornomation 1
Sagémonn and Karynna
Cherry Boxxx Pictures
The bulk of Pornomation 1is a series of short animated films -- most CGI -- with science fiction and fantasy elements. The movie is a few years old, and CGI is a technology that improves by leaps and bounds each year, so the quality isn't all that impressive by current standards; most of it's pretty good, though, and it's worth a look if you like novelty. The first, short, "Level 37," has a human woman entering what might be a futuristic prison, and climbing onto a burly alien with a penis that appears to be a separate entity with a mind of its own (at least, it has a mouth of its own). It's entirely plotless, as is "Smokin," where the same woman puts a sex robot through his paces, in this case testing him to destruction -- it's a hell of a sex toy, though. "Manaconda" has more of a fantasy feel, with a woman in bits of jewelry and not much else kneels and services a vaguely non-human guy in chains; based on his incredibly large penis, he's the Manaconda in question. The next few actually have stories, of a sort: In "Night Hunters" a potbellied alien gets jumped and molested by a couple of tree-dwelling females, and upon ejaculating, he mutates into... a tree? A cock-shaped volcano? Something, anyway. "Auto-Cunnilingus Alien" isn't even a proper cartoon, just various views of a sketch of an alien who can fulfill her own sexual needs, and does. "Abduction" has a woman being probed by aliens, and there's a cute little twist at the end, and even a bit of dialogue. In "Passage" a soldier treks to a cliff, past skeletons, and tosses his torch off the edge, summoning a winged woman. Angel? Harpy? By the end, it seems more likely she's a Valkyrie, as she fucks him unto death and then harvests his soul. Or else he's died in battle, and this is just the way his skewered brain copes with death. In "The Groupies" a woman goes into her attic and finds a magical sex toy in a box, and frolics with it -- soon its equally sentient friends join in. There's another little twist at the finish, and it's amusingly silly.

The next section of the film is called "Simulations" and consists of footage of alien and fantasy pin-up illustrations, some quite well done, some merely competent. It's a rather rapid montage that would have worked better as a gallery with a series of static photos that could be advanced at will by the viewer. Finally there's "Visitations," where artists Sagemonn and Karynna do the behind-the-scenes thing, in the form of showing a visiting alien what they're all about. It's a cute conceit for a little featurette, and it's fairly interesting. This small, odd film is more cute than hot, but it's worth a look for novelty value alone.

Winner of the 2006 AVN Awards for Best Alternative Release. (2004, 48 min)

Pornomation 2: Zuma: Tales of a Sexual Gladiator
Sagémonn and Karynna
Cherry Boxxx Pictures
This is the second creation by the husband-and-wife team of Sagemon and Karyanna, expanding on their love of Xeno-erotica. Like something out of the pages of Heavy Metal magazine, PornoMation 2: Zuma: Tales of a Sexual Gladiator is a erotic graphic novel given life. Unlike the original PornoMation DVD, Zuma: Tales of a Sexual Gladiator is a single, continuous story. Zuma is taken from earth as a child, transported to the far end of the galaxy ("Where everybody else is," according to the into) and sold into slavery. When her sexual appetites blossom, she is entered into the NymphOlympics where she is to copulate with alien beings from across the galaxy. These events are an interstellar spectacle, where combatants are forced to... fight, under the effects of an erotic field that arouses any and all living beings within the arena. First contestant that orgasms, looses. Zuma "battles" a cornucopia of alien critters for fame and glory (and, eventually, to earn her freedom), and proves to be the best sexual gladiator ever seen on the interstellar circuit. Eventually she meets her match when the competition enters an "anti-Zuma" gladiator into the contest. This greatest obstacle to her chance of freedom comes in the form of... a human male!

As a bonus we get to preview two short animated stories such as the kind found in the original PornoMation DVD. This is an erotic throwback to the old days, when short cartoons and films were shown in theaters before the main feature, is a nice touch. The DVDs visuals are well done but unfortunately the audio is a little tinny, and it can be difficult to follow the dialog. Turning on the English subtitles is highly recommended, as it makes understanding the dialog much easier.

Zuma: Tales of a Sexual Gladiator will not disappoint fans of interspecies erotica with its variety of sexual encounters, lifeforms and plethora of tentacle sex and science fiction fans will enjoy the variety of alien encounters and environments. (2006, 86 min)
