the whole shebang

scene title:  in vivo - excerpt performers:  katrina jade, kenna james site:  all her luv (missax) production credits:  missa x (dir., scr., ed.) trailer l: katrina jade, r: kenna james "in vivo" is an 80-minute scene (a "featurette," in industry-speak) released on march 14th on missax.com. i haven't watched the whole thing, but i gather that kenna and katrina play lesbian wives who find themselves stuck in such a way that only katrina sleeping with the male talent in the scene, chad white, can rescue them. the excerpt posted on allherluv on the last day of april is just the twenty-minute sex scene in which kenna shows katrina that she loves her and demands assurance that no one else makes her feel as good; i'm not even sure whether it comes before or after katrina's tryst with chad. i haven't seen much of katrina jade's work, though i'm aware of her remarkable presence in the industry, but kenna james is one of the top four...

scene title:  easter egg-gasm performers:  scarlett sage, shyla jennings site:  all her luv (missax) production credits:  missa x (dir., ed., scr.) trailer l: scarlett sage, r: shyla jennings if the last allherluv scene was the most complex, emotionally mature, and dramatically complete scene we've seen all month (thanks to writer-director whitney wright), this piece of holiday-themed fluff is entirely its opposite: a silly premise featuring two women playing well under their actual age, with no particular shape to the story, no narrative payoff to several seeds planted, or any complex emotions at all. which is fine: not every porn scene needs to be in contention for the palme d'or, and scarlett sage and shyla jennings are probably the two girl/girl stars most suited to playing up a silly premise with no real acting, but a great deal of sexual enthusiasm, necessary. what their relationship is supposed to be is never spelled out in the scene, bu...

scene title:  the chat room incident performers:  india summer, shyla jennings site:  all her luv (missax) production credits:  missa x (dir., ed., scr.) trailer l: shyla jennings, r: india summer i have to admit i was a little bit disappointed when this popped up as the next update on allherluv: shyla and india have been paired together four times in the last five months on the site (not to mention once on girlsway in the same period), and as a fan of variety, i'm a little put off by the missa x model of production, which is to shoot several scenes with the same performers over the course of a day or two. i get why she does it that way, since it's the most efficient way to use the performers who fly out to wisconsin to shoot for her sites, but it does mean that when it's a pairing i've seen several times before, i start out with a slight grudge against it. but this scene overcame that. i've written here in favor of zippy editing before, but i actu...

scene title:  crush performers:  bree daniels, kristen scott site:  all her luv (missax) production credits:  missa x (dir., ed., scr.) trailer l: bree daniels, r: kristen scott this is what i was talking about when i said i'd been impressed by kristen scott as an actress, and why girlfriends casting her as a shy-to-the-point-of-inertness virgin was such a waste. she's great here, which isn't unusual, since performers routinely do good work for missa x, but she has to sell an emotional roller coaster, and she does it well, picking up the slack in bree daniels' performance. that slack is there, but only really in the dialogue, which bree never sounds convincing delivering. but her emotional responsiveness and sexual performance is great, especially given the whacking great handicap at the center of the scene. because it's a futanari scene, which is the dumbest fetish in a world where trans women exist. bree has to pretend that she's feeling sens...
