scene title:  hot girl on girl sex on the couch performers:  kenzie taylor, cadence lux site:  zero tolerance production credits:  mike quasar (dir.) trailer l: kenzie taylor, r: cadence lux the second installment from the dvd of is it wrong she's my stepmom? vol. 3 is both exactly as well-shot as the first and much better performed. not that mia lelani and esperanza del horno were at all bad, just relatively subdued by comparison. kenzie and cadence don't just enjoy having sex with each other, they enjoy teasing each other, fleshing out their characters' relationship and history, and dirty-talking throughout. kenzie in particular is an endless font of erotic conversation, sharp observation, and enthusiastic encouragement to her scene partner: she, not the director, should probably be writing the scripts for her scenes. i've noted before that i don't particularly care for the stepmother-stepdaughter premise in girl/girl, but that's because that

scene title:  anal mind games performers:  casey calvert, kira noir, whitney wright site:  everything butt ◅ kink production credits:  kirin kurai (dir.) trailer l: whitney wright, c: casey calvert, r: kira noir now this is extreme fetish porn done right. it's still not remotely my thing (i had to look away while the camera stared down the barrel of kira noir's asshole spread wide with a speculum), but it was well-made, with great performances, a relatively intelligent premise (you know, for fetish porn), and even, shockingly, attractive cinematography. casey, kira and whitney were the selling point, of course: all three spiegler girls, all three among the best actors of the current moment in porn as well as unafraid to do just about anything with their bodies. casey and kira have done more extreme work, while whitney, who is newer, has embraced more acting-heavy roles and has earned a reputation as a beloved weirdo. the checklists of stuff they weren't

scene title:  fast fisting orgasm performers:  angel, victoria pure site:  fister twister (g max division) production credits:  none listed trailer l: victoria pure, r: angel surprise surprise, the reviewer who wants porn to have beautiful cinematography and narrative structure and engaging characters and people who reflect the actual diversity of the world hates european fetish porn. i'll keep this brief. you know if this kind of thing is for you. it isn't for me. story and personality, not medicalized anatomy, is what i find erotic. the act of fisting specifically i have no problem with, it can be a beautiful expression of intimacy; it's the fetishization of it as spectacle, the circus-performance aspect on display here, that grosses me out. nevertheless, it has its place. i take it the performers who engage in it enjoy it, or at least don't mind it and enjoy getting paid. angel, the one receiving the speculum, the giant racialized dildo, and final

scene title:  two girls one lake 2 performers:  sabrisse a, lorena b site:  sexart (metart) production credits:  don caravaggio (dir.), laurie adams (ed.) trailer l: lorena b, r: sabrisse a i must say, particularly immediately on the heels of the beautiful sandra shine scene for viv thomas, this was a disappointment. i normally love the visual style of sexart's scenes, especially andrej lupin's use of light and shadow; and don caravaggio's nom de porn led me to expect similar a tonal lusciousness. but a white couch against a picture window is hard to shoot, so that only from certain angles, and when the sun emerges from behind the clouds, does the light really wash over the bodies in a satisfyingly beautiful way. otherwise, the room lighting is harsh and unpleasant. even so, the photography remains stiffly-composed and inelegant, lacking the intimacy of shine's work. even the more heavily-processed introduction set to a generic romantic pop song is onl

scene title:  take the shot performers:  elin flame, ivy rein site:  viv thomas (metart) production credits:  sandra shine (dir.), frank mirror (ed.) trailer l: elin flame, r: ivy rein what a difference even a slight bit of scene-setting makes. the last time i reviewed a viv thomas scene, i couldn't be invested because the two women had no reason to have sex, or indeed to not have sex; they were just there. this time, we open on elin flame and ivy rein playing billiards (not well), and the loser has to dance for the other. (they are both russian, but they speak their few lines in english.) the dance turns into a kiss, and so we're off to the races. part of it also is that sandra shine is undoubtedly a better director than fox and veller: a former performer, she knows how to light and shoot her models to their advantage, and loves to play with deep focus, depth of field, and even reflections to keep the visuals interesting. her shot compositions are always beau

scene title:  facts of lust truth or dare performers:  bunny colby, ella knox, quinn wilde site:  that sitcom show (nubiles) production credits:  none listed trailer l: bunny colby, c: ella knox, r: quinn wilde as noted previously, i like comedy more than drama, so i should be kindly disposed to a site that only does porn parodies of well-known sitcoms, spending the first five minutes or so establishing a horny version of familiar characters (complete with laugh track), then jumping into sex. well, sure, if it was well-made i might like it. i've never actually seen the facts of life, so i have no idea how faithful this trio of young ladies is to jo, nat, and blair (plus nina hartley as mrs. garrett, almost catching them halfway through and actually catching them at the end, presumably as a reminder of the premise). it hardly matters, though: once their clothes come off so do the assumed personalities. the sex is routine and mechanistic, as often happens with three

scene title:  babysitting a bad bitch performers:  elle voneva, sophia lux site:  dyked  ◅  team skeet  (paper street) production credits:  none listed trailer l: elle voneva, r: sophia lux well jesus christ i knew not to expect much from team skeet, because i've browsed through their output before, but this is a whole other level of unpleasant and incompetent. i'm not sure how much to blame the performers. i've never seen them in anything before, so i don't know what they're capable of under decent direction or with a decent premise. but here, they are respectively a total nonentity (elle) and a profoundly awkward actress (sophia). and unusually, their performance once the sex starts doesn't redeem them. i have no idea whether they were actually enjoying themselves while giving or experiencing pleasure while receiving, but there was, shall we say, room to doubt. i want to be fair: part of my distaste for sophia's performance is no doub

scene title:  lesbian psychodramas #30 [scene 4] performers:  bree daniels, milana may site:  girlfriends films production credits:   dan o'connell (dir.) trailer l: milana may, r: bree daniels the sequel to the india summer/kristen scott scene is here, and it's as dull and predictable as expected. bree and milana, in some bedroom or other, half-heartedly debate whether india summer's psychic was right and they are lesbians, and decide to kiss to find out. that's it, that's the whole story. long before the month is out, i am going to run out of ways to say that girlfriends makes badly-lit, poorly-written, awkwardly-shot, hideously-staged, and miserably-audio recorded girl/girl porn. the one spark of visual interest here is that bree daniels is so pale that the light from the hot pink bedspread beneath her bounces up and shades her flesh in an interesting way. well, that, and the contrast between her and milana may's tan. but when you've sai

scene title:  the case of the mysterious panties performers:  kenna james, riley reid site:  girlsway (gamma) production credits:  stills by alan (dir.), zombie (ed.), ravefire63 (scr.) trailer l: kenna james, r: riley reid genre parody is such an easy way to make porn with a modicum of intelligence, it's surprising that there isn't more of it. perhaps the modicum of intelligence is the issue. the scene opens with riley reid sitting in an almost totally dark office except for convenient bars of light on her face and where the client will sit in the chair opposite, doing a bad philip marlowe impression in voiceover as kenna james walks in, distraught because her wife may be cheating on her. riley takes the case after being promised double. the budgets under which porn operates are obvious when the cheating wife she photos on a stakeout is clearly also kenna james (although the woman she's cheating with is a cameoing eliza ibarra). kenna is presented with th
