REVIEW-
This normally is not a movie that I would choose first out of a stack of Wicked flicks. One of you wrote in and specifically requested a review of this title so here it is. Of course my initial concern that it was a girl/girl movie based on the all-female cast list in the opening credits is gone just moments into the movie. That helps a lot. This is an MTV-style movie with no dialog, a lot of eye candy and cable-friendly sex. That can be a great thing for couples, but we’ve seen so many of these things that we can almost hear the echo-chamber music and see the slo-mo sex before the movie even begins. Hopefully there will be enough good use of a very attractive cast to move this one above the norm from this genre.
Alexis and Kurt Lockwood are having car trouble. While they wait for a tow truck, the two start groping and apparently don’t care that they are on the side of the highway in plain sight. He helps her out of her top, rubs her nipples for a long while and then gets down to suck her lower lips. When she kneels to return the favor Alexis can barely keep her hair out of her face, but it really doesn’t hurt the mediocre blowjob much. This is a pretty scene with decent heat I suppose, but nothing that is going to make you remember it two minutes after they are done. Kurt puts her into the back of the truck, throws one of her legs over his shoulder and fucks her pussy. During the cowgirl (appropriate given her outfit) he reaches around to clumsily poke at her ass. They are back in the street for a facial as she squats in front of him and gets nice and messy. Nothing bad here, but nothing spectacular either.
Julia Ann also has the whole cowboy thing going as she rides a horse during some nicely shot footage that might be considered tease. Trevor Zen is waiting inside to greet his woman with a long kiss and something more substantial as well. With some harsh back lighting and a raging fire behind them providing the couples appeal, they exchange oral sex. The blowjob is average, but she looks pretty damn good in just her boots as she spreads her legs to let him go to work. They move right into doggy and we get the truly annoying slo-mo action to train whatever heat might have been going on between them. Even when the video speeds up it still sounds like she’s moaning into a coffee can. Who wrote the rule book for couples porn and where does it say that we can’t see or hear things the way they actually happen? Julia looks good on her back and gets tit fucked at the end, even taking a pearl necklace. I wanted to like this scene, but it’s just overly produced.
Katsumi wraps herself in the American flag for a tease segment that is so short that it might have been left out. We cut quickly to her giving a blowjob. Her make up is way too heavy as usual, but she does a great job licking dick. Moving too quickly away from good oral footage we cut right to some hot anal action. This time there is nothing to get in the way and our naughty star happily takes every inch of meet between her spread cheeks. (Why wasn’t the last scene shot like this one? It would have been much hotter.) I don’t like the cut-away shots of her posing because they take us from hard to soft too often, but otherwise this is a really hot scene. She lets him shoot onto her face and then cleans her fingers off as she stares up into the camera. This is a really good scene from start to finish.
The next scene is supposed to look like home movies so it jerks around, has no audio and basically becomes a waste sexually. Katja, Melissa, Randy and Steven are having a good old fashioned BBQ that turns into a mini orgy. Rather than using the clever looking footage to frame the scene. Raven chooses to stick with the look and sound throughout, rendering it useless as a stroke scene, but impressing those of us who like to see new things every once in a while. I really like both women in this scene, but watching them fuck in a blurry scene with scratches and the constant sound of a projector reminds me too much of sneaking my dad’s old 8mm tapes out of the closet and watching them. This is really a waste of good female talent.
I am so happy to hear sound again when the next scene starts that I don’t even care that it’s cheesy porn music. It is really good to hear Dani Woodward’s moans as she suck cock at beginning of her scene. Kris Slater enjoys the head and then bends her over for some nice looking action from behind. As we saw in the Katsumi scene, Raven’s sex can be pretty and have some heat when he doesn’t add too much to the action. Dani provides everything we need hear, laying flat and letting Kris pound away on her young slit. She finishes off with a very good blowjob that is heavy on the hand action and ends in a decent facial. (Not shot from a great angle unfortunately.) Boy/Girl fans better enjoy this pop because it’s the last non-veggie action we’re going to see today.
Julia is back and in a very hot scene with Stormy. The two are firefighters who let off steam after a job by getting it on. If you like busty blondes having sex together then you’re probably already beating off so hard that you can’t read the rest of this review. The scene is heavy on the shadows, but Stormy provides so much eye candy that it’s impossible not to appreciate it. After being worked over she turns the tables and makes a meal out of Julia’s clit. I would rather see Stormy getting fucked, but this is the best combination of skillful filmmaking and good sex that this flick has to offer.
The finale features Austin Kincaid and Lexi Marie getting it on outside. Lexi looks super cute and I think I may be falling in lust with her as we speak. This scene has great color to it and the girls are slow to undress each other. It’s pure eye candy and as long as you like slow lesbian kisses then you’re going to be fine here. These two don’t generate the same heat as Julia and Stormy, but Lexi looks totally adorable and we get some nice slow shots of her pussy being fingered. The scene does seem to end right in the middle though. It’s a bit odd really.
This movie gives us exactly we would expect plus a few pleasant surprises. Yes we get the cheesy music, slow motion sex and zero dialog set ups. I really liked the action in the Katsumi scene and again in Dani’s scene. Without slow motion the quality that Raven brings to his productions comes through and adds to the great energy. The other scenes are all over-produced to some extent. Whether it is the dim lighting in the Stormy/Julia veg fest or the slow motion sex in Julia’s first appearance, the added layers take away from the sex. In the case of the home movies scene it just buries us in style over substance. I still appreciate Raven’s skills as a film maker, but wish he would leave the sex alone and give us more fucking like we saw from Katsumi.
