Black & White Done Right Review

Dir: "Astrux Entertainment".

Extras:
Behind The Scenes: The girls get made up and chat to the camera about what they're up to in their scenes today and what they've gotten up to lately. The interviewer tells each girl that the name of the movie (that none know before being asked) is Black and White, Done Right. I'm not sure if they're supposed to be excited by this revelation, but they generally seem to react to it with a "oh, okay." kind of attitude. There's also pretty girl pics being taken for each girl. You know, the usual stuff.
Cumshots: Just a short popshot chapter to show the viewer where the blast markers go.
Trailers: One long clip, showing the trailers for: Myne Fucked & Scurvy Girls.
Adult Fun: The website ad, phone sex ads, etc, featuring 5th-generation-VHS-quality footage and sound. Yay.
Slideshow: A series of posed and hardcore stills in autorun form. The music's messed up, however.

A quick note on scene ratings - unlike many reviewers of different things who tend to rate "average" as 7/10. I rate average as 5/10, this makes 7/10 from me quite a bit above average, so bear this in mind when reading the overall DVD and scene ratings.

Scene 1:
Jada Fire, Alex Sanders.
Deepthroat, Anal, A2M, Facial.

In this first scene, the naturally large-breasted Jada Fire provides the Black, and Alex Sanders provides the White. There's cunnilingus (a rarity in itself) and Alex seems to want to please Jada, who returns the favour with some deepthroating and makng her throat available for Alex to fuck, though here it lacks the gagging and voilent overtones it often has and comes across as Jada being one nasty fuck machine. I never noticed her tattoos before today, either. The RAC, as always looks good, but the camerawork in this scene isn't really up to par with the performance, consistantly shooting with pretty poor framing, always a little off-angle, always in just a bit too close even on the medium shots. Jada looked good here, and if only the scene had been captured better, I might have really been able to appreciate it.
5/10

Scene 2:
Ice LaFox, Joe Friday.
Facial.

Ice's background is a mix of Mexican and Puerto Rican, we find out in the BTS. She is a natural-bodied, lithe woman with long black hair and a few piercings and tattoos, including a big tatt on her inner right forearm. She starts off crawling on a catwalk/dance stage before opening her legs to reveal her pussy and performing some stripper moves. Joe is the only guy present, making this the world's best-lit and emptiest strip club ever. Since Joe is very much White (except for his full-sleeve tattoos), I guess that makes Ice Black (for the purposes of this disc, anyway). Pretty standard porno sex ensues, though Joe's use of cunnilingus makes it stand out a little from the pack of today's scenes. Once again, and noticable from the start, the framing is again a bit off. Though Ice's body nearly makes up for it. There's a nice view of the barbell in her clit hood when Joe jackhammer-fucks her from behind. The cameraman even manages to wreck a great RC as well, by overusing the close-up and avoiding the medium shot of Ice's great body a-bouncing except for a few seconds. Once again, poor camerawork makes the scene suffer.
5/10

Scene 3:
Victoria Allure, Carlton Banks.
Facial.

Victoria, a pretty natural-bodied redhead masturbates while wearing lingere in a jail cell. She's clearly the White of the scene, though the setup makes no sense. Carlton provides us with the Black. They start with a BJ through the cell bars, then they're automagically in the same cell so that Carlton can hold Victoria by the hair and fuck her throat. The inside of the jail cell, or whatever it's supposed to be has a spray-painted wall of graffiti, so maybe it's not set in a jail. Yet again the camerawork is just a few notches too close, preventing all of the action from being seen properly. They have standard gonzo-porno-movie sex by the numbers in a half-dozen positions, and eventually Carlton paints Victoria's cheek in semen. Just another porn scene.
5/10

Scene 4:
Olivia Del Rio, Nate Turner.
Facial.

This time our Hispanic female performer, Olivia, is classed as the White, since Nate Turner is clearly the Black. I think Nate used to work with Slayer and Boz and the rest of that crew. Olivia is wearing a pretty ordinary looking orange and white stiped top/dress/thing that really does nobody any favours. It looks pretty crappy, in fact. Although Olivia's gigantic implants look as hard and immovable as concrete, the cummerbund effect that the ugly orange-and-white-stripey-top ruins the statuesque look that Olivia's body has to it when shot well.

As before the RC is wasted, with way too much time spent on a shot that really shows off Olivia's appendectomy(?) scar (since she has a ton of tattoos already, she should consider getting one to cover that scar up). While there does seem to be a little bit of chemistry between Nate and Olivia, and he certainly looks to be enjoying himself, but again the shoddy framing and camerawork hurts the performers' ..erm, performance once again.
5/10

Scene 5:
Amber Peach, Carlton Banks.
Facial.

Amber, a pretty-faced, natural-bodied blonde provides the White for this last scene. She starts the scene out masturbating in her red lingere, before Carlton, who once again provides us with some Black enters for his blowjob. The graffiti in the background suggests that they're again in the "cell" set, which doesn't exactly add "sexy" to the ambience. I'd rather see the background of a nice house that Lex and Sean often use than the spray-painted slum. Amber is exceptionally porn-vocal while being fucked, with load moans and groans aplenty. Again they fuck in various positions, there's a brief 69 even, before we move onto the badly-captured RC which has been a continuing source of frustration throughout this disc. More of the same.
5/10

The biggest problem I came across throughout this disc was that of the camera being zoomed in just slightly too close. Since it was across all of the scenes, I can only assume that perhaos there was a difference between the viewfinder's image and the actual recorded image, but the camera operator should really know what they're doing and have some familiarity with the equipment they're going to use. The camerawork itself was nothing to write home about either, and really was the biggest problem. There was nothing special or outstanding about this disc. Just mass-produced porn by the numbers, and certainly not as good as would be expected by it's cast, cover or title. The female cast were all good-looking women, but the combination of the make-up, lighting, backgrounds, camerawork and outfits resulted in them all looking merely average. This is just Black and White, Done by the Numbers.
