The Short Story

Initial Expectations: It's been a long time since I've checked out a Chris Streams movie. In fact, it's been too long and I'm really looking forward to changing that with this release.

Initial Reaction: It's great!

Who Should Watch It : Big butt fans

Who Should Avoid It: Anal fans

The Technical Stuff

Audio /Video Quality: The technical aspects are very well done. The audio is clear and well balanced, and I didn't notice anything beyond the most minor of background nosies. The video is presented in anamorphic widescreen and looks very good. It's clear and smooth, and although there are a few shadows they're very minor.

Music: None

Menus: The main menu works together a clip from the movie with the boxcover still for a pretty good first impression. The chapter menu nicely lets you choose a scene based on a small clip of each scene, a scene number, and the name of the lady in it.

The Feature

Chris Streams keeps things pretty simple for this release. Each scene features one girl with enough butt for more than one girl and has them taking on one guy after they show off for Chris and his camera. Yes, it's a simple idea, but sometimes simple works.

Scene 1 – Alexis Texas and Mark Ashley

Dirty blonde Alexis starts things out in a little blue and silver metallic looking bikini shaking her ass and showing off her smile before she starts stripping down to show off her tits as well. She sits backwards on a chair to show off her amazing ass after she strips off her bikini bottoms, and soon after Mark moves in to worship her ass and eat her holes from behind. When Alexis sits back in the chair Mark gives her pussy a little lick before he starts to fuck it missionary style, and then lets her suck his cock a bit before he fucks her doggie style. Alexis mixes in a little more head for Mark as she rides him in both cowgirls, and then finishes it up with a nice pop in her mouth that she swallows down.

This is a great opening scene. Alexis is smoking hot, and Chris captures her extremely well with his camera throughout the entire scene. There's very nice chemistry between her and Mark throughout the scene, and they keep it moving at a very nice pace. This might be a pretty simple scene, but it definitely shows that simple can be very, very good if it's done right.

Scene 2 – Richelle Ryan and John Strong

Brunette Richelle starts her scene out in a pink bikini with mesh sleeves showing off her ass as well as her tits and pussy. She's joined by John, who gives her a nice hard cock to suck as well as letting Richelle work over his balls as she strokes him before fucking her doggie style. Richelle sucks him a bit more before letting him fuck her missionary style, and even eats his ass as she sucks him before riding him cowgirl style. She continues to eat his ass and lets him fuck her face before riding him reverse cowgirl style, and finishes things up with a nice facial and sucking out the last little bit.

This is another very nice scene. Richelle is pretty with a great body, and she puts out some great energy as well as nice vocals. John provides a nice hard cock for her to work with, and there's almost a feeling of urgency between them as they fuck. This provided a little extra spark for the scene and helped it to keep the momentum Alexis and Mark started rolling.

Scene 3 – Ava Lauren and Lee Stone

Ava starts her scene in a white bikini with multi-color polka dots leaning against a bank of windows. She lets Chris admire her ass a bit before turning around to show off her big rack, and strips down to show off the complete packaged. Ava stoops down right before Lee arrives with a hard cock, and gives it plenty of attention with her mouth and tits. Lee picks her up and spins her around for a standing sixty-nine before setting her down to fuck her from behind. Ava mixes in a bit more cocksucking as she works Lee over in both cowgirls and lets him pick her up to fuck her in midair. He lays her back down to fuck her missionary style before spooning her, and finishes Ava off with a decent facial and Ava sucking out the last bit while giving Lee some fantastic eyes.

This is another darn hot scene. Ava looks a touch rough, but more than makes up for it by putting out plenty of energy and vocals. She and Lee almost seem like they're competing through much of the scene, like they're seeing if Lee can wear her out, and it gives the scene a great intensity without getting rough or nasty. This is yet another well done scene.

Scene 4 – Candy Manson and Mark Wood

Bottle blonde Candy arrives in a denim skirt, a black bikini top, and a pink mesh shirt over the top and goes right to teasing Chris's camera. She plays with herself a bit until Mark arrives with a hard cock for her to suck. Candy takes a nice face fucking before turning around and facing the wall as Mark fucks her from behind. He drops down to eat her holes a couple times as he fucks her, and lets Candy strip down a bit before they make their way to the couch for her to bounce on his bone cowgirl style. Mark eats her holes a bit more before taking Candy missionary style, and also lets her ride him reverse cowgirl style so show off her big fat titties as he gets to admire her ass. Candy and Mark also get in a bit of spooning before he gives her a nice facial finish.

This is yet another nicely done scene. Candy looks a bit too porno generic with her inflated tits and multitude of piercings for my tastes normally, but here she and Mark have such great chemistry that it's hard not to get drawn into the scene. There's plenty of energy from both of them, along with great vocals from Candy and a few minor ones that you can hear Mark passing on to Candy. This is yet another very solid scene.

Scene 5 – Claire Dames and Michael Stefano

Claire starts out the final scene by a window in a purple stretch halter and purple stockings that flare out like pants and have a black grommeted garter belt attached. She shows off for Chris and his camera a bit before moving to a large chair where Michael appears to worship her ass and fuck her ass crack. They move to a staircase where Mike continues to worship Claire's ass as well as fucking her from behind, letting her suck his cock through the railing of the staircase, and picking her up to give her a midair cowgirl ride. They continue to mix in more oral action, as well as a little more of Mike fucking Claire from behind, before Claire gets down and takes a very nice pop over her tongue.

This is yet another very well done scene. Claire, as usual, looks fantastic and puts out some great energy and vocals. The chemistry between her and Michael Stefano is quite possibly the strongest in the movie, and even at twenty five minutes the scene feels like it could have gone on much longer without losing any steam. This is another winner of a scene, and helps Big Loves 2 to end on the same high note it began on.

Big Loves 2 is a very solid fuck flick. The scenes are all pretty simple, going from a little tease to some cocksucking to one-on-one fucking, but it has two major things going for it that make all the difference. The first is the chemistry. Every scene has two performers who are so into each other that you can't help but wonder a few times during the movie if you're seeing two people who are on each other's 'favorite' list. With most movies you're lucky to get that feeling once in the movie, but with Big Loves 2 is happened several times for me. The other thing it has going for it is Chris Streams behind the camera. Chris rarely seems to get a bad angle in his movies, and always seems able to capture both the beauty and the heat of the performers. I'll readily admit that going into the movie, Alexis Texas and Claire Dames where the girls I was looking most forward to watching, but every girl here put out a performance worthy of being a favorite and makes it next to impossible for me to choose a best of worst scene. Big Loves 2 is a great movie that shows just how important chemistry and having somebody behind the camera who really knows what they're doing are.

The Extra Stuff

Trailers are included for Big Loves, Cum to Momma, Filthy 2, Head Case 2, and Real Racks 3. The photo gallery lasts just over four minutes with about eight seconds per good looking, but often small, snapshot. There's also a behind the scenes featurette, a tease featurette, and cumshot recaps.

The soft tease featurette lasts about seven and a half minutes. You get about a minute and twenty seconds from each girl. The segments are nicely broken apart with each girl getting her own chapter so you can easily get to whatever girl you wish to see. No, there doesn't appear to be any extra footage here, but with how well Chris Streams shoots tease, it's awfully hard not to like a featurette that only gives you that.

The behind the scenes featurette lasts about eight and three quarter minutes. Alexis and Mark start off with a little between shoot footage before Richelle, John, and Chris chat about how much therapy a boatload of money could buy. Candy, Mark, and Chris chat about bondage and all the rules before Chris chats with her about UFC and the nasty sex she likes. This is a nicely done behind the scenes featurette. Unfortunately it focuses mostly on Richelle and Candy rather than working in a little of the entire cast, but Chris's conversations with the girls (as well as the guys and others around) are a heck of a lot of fun and really make the featurette worthwhile. This is a very fun featurette that I wish would have lasted much longer.

The Down -n- Dirty Sex Stuff

Themes: Straight, tease, rimming (male > female and female > male), swallowing, and titty fucking

Raincoat Factor: Very high

Condom Usage: None

The Bottom Line:

Currently, many of 3rd Degree's DVDs can be found online for between about $15 and $25 with several stores offering them for under $20. If you want chemistry and one on one action, this one's well worth the money. No, there's never more than two people in a scene and there's no anal, but the chemistry and Chris Streams' camera work make this one hot as can be. The technical aspects show some very nice care and there's some very nice effort put into the extras. This is a very enjoyable DVD that's well worth picking up.

Note to 3rd Degree: Thank you for putting such nice effort into your entire DVD rather than just focusing on the movie.
