REVIEW-

It seems like Vivid is opening things up to some new directors and that’s kind of cool. I know I’ve seen Eli Cross’ work before, but I’m sure it will be a little different this time. This one stars one of Vivid’s hottest contract girls Briana Banks. Those of us who love raincoater porn remember this girl from her pre-Vivid days. She was a super skinny, pretty girl who got as nasty as can be. Since then she has pumped up her boobs and thankfully put on some weight so that she no longer looks unhealthy. Vivid has toned her down a bit, but she still has those great big tits, beautiful face and an ass that just begs to be fucked. Other than Briana, we have some very nasty girls in the cast. Sandra Romain and Melissa Lauren are well known do-anything girls and they will challenge for the spotlight in this project. Julie Night will also give the other girls a run for their money.

Without a word the first tarot card is turned over. Brian finds herself in a bondage fantasy with Melissa Lauren. She buries her face between Briana’s cheeks and gets her all warmed up while John Strong jerks off in a cage. The girl on girl warm up is hot, but we end up watching Briana suck cock upside down. She seems to feel the need to quack like Melissa and that robs us of quite a bit of heat. Why do people think that this fake gagging shit is a replacement for good sexual energy? Both girls work on his dick orally and when they aren’t quacking it’s pretty damn hot. Briana is quite pretty and seems to enjoy being bent over and fucked hard from behind. Melissa also takes a turn and really fucks hard. (Doesn’t she always?) Once he starts fucking Melissa, Briana pretty much stays in the back ground. Not that Melissa is a slouch by any means, but some people might see it as a waste of a contract girl. She does take most of the load on her face before sharing it with her friend.

The next scene starts without a word as well. We’ve got a honey blonde girl swallowing Van Damage’s cock. There is an odd mix of soft music and choking sex here that just doesn’t quite fit. The lights also go dim for a bit as he returns the favor. Things pick up a bit when he throws her legs high in the air and starts fucking her, but this is really a forgettable pairing without much going for it. It does have a facial at the end, but is pretty much a wasted scene.

Our next scene features Julie Night stretching tape out around what appears to be a dead body. I guess she’s a CSI and gets very freaked out when Chris Cannon actually sits up and starts kissing her. Julie does a good job of staying in character and actually seems pretty scared even when beings to kiss him back. Eventually she overcomes her fear and is happy to start sucking on his cock. She sucks him to full mast and then gets on top for one of her typically energetic fucks. For a dead guy, Chris must eat pussy pretty well because he sends her in orbit between positions. We get some great standing doggy with nice legs shots as Julie screams her way through the scene. Chris finally gives her a shot in the mouth and though it isn’t captured very well, she downs every drop like a good girl.

Busty Trina Michaels is in the center of a body painting lesbian love fest for the next scene. She has her body painted and then gets worked over the two girls. One works her pussy while the other massages those huge fun bags. It’s a pretty dreary scene unless you happen to really like big tits. A couple of guys come in and start fucking the chicks, but it’s a bit too late to be saved. Trina is a very sexy girl and does get blasted in the ass nicely, but I just never got into the flow of this scene. Whenever Trina is not the focus of the action things just get weak and make me want to move on.

Briana is back for the finale, this time in a veggie scene with her tarot reader, Sandra Romain. After some mediocre action we are back to some high energy fucking. Brian seems ready to get as nasty as Sandra and that’s saying something. Briana gets her tongue deep into her sexy partner’s folds and then lies back to let Sandra feast on her huge knockers. There is some really good footage of Briana with her legs high in the air as Sandra breaks out a pretty big dildo. The toy play is great here with Briana using her mouth to get it wet and Sandra fucking her silly with the fat toy. Returning the favor, our cover girl rams that toy into Sandra’s slit and ends the movie on a very high note.

As usual there are plenty of extras here. Previews, photo galleries, ads and my favorite stuff, the bonus scenes. Briana is the star, giving us a hot fetish turn with Mario Rossi, a nicely shot scene with Joel Lawrence and veggie scene with Lezley Zen. Julie Meadows and Shelbee Myne are the other two girls featured here.

There are some quality women in this movie and a couple of pretty great scene. Even with some less than stellar moments in the middle of the movie Briana bookends things nicely. I don’t know why she feels the need to join the gagging train though. It’s just a horrible waste of potential heat when any girl does it. Other than Briana’s scenes, Julie Night is the one stand out. She stays in character and does a really good job. Overall the sex is still a bit soft, but at least we don’t have to sit through slow motion sex or echo chamber music. It’s an MTV style vignette movie like that other feature company makes, but it’s less glossy and in many cases, much hotter. There is room for improvement, but if you’re a Briana fan already watch this one to see how well she teams up with Sandra and Melissa. If nothing else she proves that if they ever unleashed her, she would still be one of the top gonzo girls on the market.
