REVIEW-

As I make my way through the Hustler and VCA releases I finally come to this new Thomas Zupko project. So far I have been disappointed in some of the new Hustler flicks and shocked by some of the decisions they have made. They have Zupko shooting gonzo movies and are giving some of their best projects to over-hyped guys who don’t have a clue how to make a decent stroke flick. Zupko does of course. He has made some of the most interesting stroke flicks in recent years. Unlike some of the new “chosen ones” Zupko can make a good movie that is strokeable. He is a talented film maker who is also a crazy pervert and best of all, he cares about his audience. This movie looks to be similar to a project did years ago for Extreme. It’s a sweeping epic that covers the confusing history of man through Zupko’s eyes. With a good looking cast to carry the sexual load, we should be in for a memorable adult feature.

The opening scene goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden with Holly Wellin and Van Damage as Adam & Eve. They enjoy the forbidden fruit and then each other. With the smoke machines and jungle setting this looks like your typical music video style flick. Of course Zupko adds two things that most directors don’t. There is some actual sexual heat coming from the scene and the creepy factor is really high. That is, unless you don’t find the idea of Nicki Hunter singing (Quite well to be honest) “Amazing Grace” during the action creepy. Once that ends we can just enjoy Holly in reverse cowgirl, grinding her hips down to take every inch. Holly handles the sex well, shoving his cock into her throat in between positions and finally opening up her ass for some rear entry. I love the way she pushes back to fuck her ass with his cock. Gape fans will enjoy the way her ass stays open in between anal positions and the way Zupko zooms in to focus on the gaping asshole. The anal is very good and Holly ends her stay in the Garden with a big shot on her face.

We take a giant leap forward in time to find Thomas Jefferson (Kris Slater) and after reading a long passage from the Declaration of Independence he hooks up with one of his slaves, Sally. (Marie Luv) Marie looks fantastic and plays the slave thing to hilt. (Even calling him “Massa”) That’s going to make some people a little uncomfortable, but the sex is vintage Marie. She easily swallows his cock, bobbing her head up and down quickly and only gagging because people expect it these days. Marie is one of the hottest, hard-fucking girls in the business and she rides him like he’s the slave and she is trying to work him to death. She turns around and shows us that cute little ass. He can’t resist that fine ass forever and has to bend her over so he can slide into it. The anal action is really well shot and we get to see her lovely body as well as her stretched rear entrance. Finishing off the booty bang, he spins her around and shoots cream right on her face. Marie never fails to give a great scene and this one is hot from start to finish.

Flipping the slavery theme around, we get another round of “Amazing Grace” as the camera moves around a chained slave (Mr. Marcus) The creepy factor is high and I’m sure that most people are going to feel at least some discomfort with the long set up. Tiffany Rayne enters the barn and frees Marcus, kissing his hands and providing him with as much comfort as possible. After the slow and sensual start, the scene takes off like a rocket when she gets her mouth on his cock. Unfortunately is it yet another blowjob ruined by the stupid throat noises that no one has the balls to stop. When she isn’t making those sounds, the action is white hot. Tiffany is a fantastic looking girl who sucks his cock with great energy. She gets right down to the anal, mounting Marcus and showing off her awesome body as her colon opens up for deep penetration. Pounding her hips down, she impales herself on that dick over and over. Marcus shoots his seed right into her waiting mouth. This is how feature sex should look. It’s nicely shot with great energy and never loses focus on the fact that this is what we came to see.

The next scene opens with some pithy dialog about the rich and powerful. It’s delivered by Hunter and is overwrought as can be. (Don’t you just left Marxist thoughts coming from pornographers. I’m still waiting to find one who is more interested in equality than he/she is in making a buck.) April Blossom crawls into the office where Kyle Stone and Tony T. are waiting. Kyle is the man in charge and he starts mauling April’s big breasts. He licks her asshole as she bends over the desk. April gets down on her knees and starts sucking his cock. I like the fact that she leaves the glasses on as she polishes his knob. If you like the idea of a President being sucked in his office, then there will be some extra appeal to a decent blowjob that is mostly without the lame quagging. He cums on “the button” and makes her lick it off while launching a nuclear attack. Yeah, that’s a good way to keep everyone stroking.

Kyle leaves and has Tony finish her off. Zupko tries to tone down Tony’s non-stop babble, but you can’t stop the unstoppable. At least Tony keeps his wood killing verbal diarrhea to a quiet whisper. He bends her over the desk and fucks her hard enough to make those big tits shake. Credit Zupko for controlling his talent enough that we can actually enjoy the scene. Tony shoots all over her face and finishes out the last good scene of the flick.

Zupko’s finale is a post-apocalyptic fuck between Van and Nicki Hunter. I know she’s a favorite of Zupko’s and has a ton of fans, but she just doesn’t do anything for me. The ultra-gag blowjob doesn’t help things along either. Those who like lace and anal sex will find something to enjoy. That big ass gets drilled from behind, below and just about any other angle he can work himself into. It’s as good as the last scene, so if you like Nicki at all, count this one as another stroke fest ending with a shot on her face.

This really is similar to Zupko’s controversial “The Attic” though it is toned down quite a bit. It is part politics, part spiritual journey and part stroke flick. Since I bashed Eon McKai’s movie for being pretentious it would only be fair to note that Zupko’s project is also quite full of itself. Singing patriotic anthems and hymns in between scenes isn’t going to work for everyone. The difference between this movie and that other mess is that Zupko never forgets why his audience is planted in front of the screen. He never loses sight of the fact that at its core, all porn is stroke material. The sex is really good with one major problem. Zupko is not immune to the quagging problem that has destroyed blowjobs all over Porn Valley. Tiffany’s scene suffers the most from that problem because she happens to be the hottest girl in the movie. Marie turns in one hell of a fine anal scene. The worst sex scene in this movie is better than anything we have seen in anything from Eon, Joe or any of the other newly crowned porn royalty. Someone should sit down with these alt-crap hacks and show them that porn can be interesting and even pretentious while still being stroke-worthy.
