2004, 1 hours 53 minutes
3rd Degree
Directed by Danny Case
Starring: Gia Paloma & Mark Wood, Jennifer Luv, Jenaveve Jolie & Jean Val Jean, Paola Rey, Rio Mariah & Benjamin Brat



The Knowledge:

Most famous for shooting the first three sweltering hot volumes of Zero Tolerance‘s Internal Cumbustion as well as their School of Cock, Danny Case jumped ship with another former ZT director, Chris Streams and now shoots exclusively for 3rd Degree. While not nearly as prolific yet as his partner-in-crime, Case has still managed to release the awesome Double Her Pleasure, New Releases and the upcoming Cum Beggars. If those two are any indication of what I have to look forward to here, I can‘t wait to begin...

The Action:

Gia Paloma
Gia‘s on deck to start things off and boy I never realized what a shapely ass she has. She‘s come a long way weight-wise; just looking at her you‘d never guess she used to be a little larger. Also congratulations to her on her recent deals with No Boundaries Pictures and Astrux Entertainment. After teasing, undressing and playing with a variety of toys (she licks a glass butt plug before she shoves a humming silver vibrator in her pussy and a maroon one of the same size in her ass simultaneously, then shoves them both in her ass at the same time) Gia cums hard and after ten minutes of solo foreplay is finally primed for the Wood of Mark. With her hands behind her back even, she gives head as good as any performer out there, deepthroating Wood‘s cock and flicking her tongue over his balls just to show off. She sucks dick rather frequently in this scene, too, in between each position and I would normally bitch about such a thing but Gia’s so goddamned good at it, I wouldn’t dare fix my lips to complain. She does more with just her mouth than most other girls can do with their entire bodies at their disposal. It looks like she truly loves nothing more than having her lips wrapped around a hard prick and her eyes tell us she really relishes every inch that makes its way into her throat. Wood gets ridden hard and put away wet by Gia in cowgirl (vaginal), reverse cowgirl (anal) and doggie (anal) before he‘s allowed to splatter Paloma‘s face and mouth with his cum. Gia plays with what makes it into her mouth, shows it to us and then slurps it back up and swallows it. “Gracias, papi,” she says. This is a woman who really adores dick and ALL of its glorious by-products.



Jennifer Luv
Luv is lying back on a leather ottoman, legs high in the air, showing off her pussy. She sits up and bares her breasts next, pinching and licking the nipples before completely removing her black and hot pink top. She doesn‘t tease us as long as Paloma did before Mark Ashley arrives. Without even bothering to remove her hat, Jennifer takes as much of his meat as she can into her mouth and begins to suck away. She‘s nearly as talented as Paloma but their techniques differ in that Luv does rely on her hands occasionally. At any rate, that‘s two-for-two as far as blowjobs that have stood up and made me take notice in this movie. Was there an on-set Head Coach or something because every chick so far has given gag-heavy, super-sloppy, spittle-dribbling, stringer-hanging, throat-throttling phenomenal head and if someone can pass this knowledge on to everyone else on how to do the same, it‘d be GREATLY appreciated. Ashley, in turn, takes about five seconds to return the favor before pumping away at Jennifer‘s Luv Hole missionary. That selfish bastard. And he‘s usually so good about trying to bring his girls to orgasm orally. I guess that hummer got him really charged and he just couldn‘t wait to stick his dick in that wet little latina gash. Mark pounds that snatch cowgirl first, which gives us some flawless footage of Jennifer‘s derriere being split in two before moving to reverse cowgirl, where she does that annoying thing she does where she tugs on her pussy lips and stretches them. I have no idea what purpose that serves or who it turns on, but whatever. Thankfully she doesn‘t do it much before they move to some high-speed doggie powerfucking on the floor. Amazingly, Luv actually lets Mark creampie her and pushes out all of his cum with a few really loud audible pussy farts. That was unexpected. When did Luv get so nasty?



Jenaveve Jolie
Covergirl Jenaveve is likely the chick that anyone who sees this movie would cite as the “hottest,” which is probably why she got the cover, right? She is certainly the total package: hot tight tanned body, cute face, gorgeous smile, long pretty hair, pumped-up and perfectly round silicone tits and an ass, to quote Clarence from True Romance, that probably “tastes like French Vanilla Ice Cream.” But in keeping with the latina theme, I’d say it must taste like fried ice cream. But I digress. Jenaveve struts her hot ass down a staircase to meet our cameraman who gets the distinct pleasure of filming Jolie squeezing her tits together and caressing her taut butt cheeks. When Jenaveve first entered the business, I remember she used to be strictly girl/girl. Thank God that changed (quickly, too). I’ve seen a few of her more recent boy/girl excursions (Maximum Thrust 4, Malibu‘s Most Latin and Sizzling Hot Tamales) and while she isn’t exactly a lame performer like so many girls who believe they are contract-worthy or former girl/girl-only chicks, she ain’t exactly Ariana Jollee, either. She’s got the look but I’m eager to see how she performs. As she blows and tit-fucks Jean Val Jean (who is almost as pretty as Jenaveve) she certainly talks the talk and tries to act enthused, but I can’t really say that it comes off as genuine. Her dirty talk seems forced, her labored breathing fake. Put-on or the real article, you can’t really deny how stunning Jenaveve looks in every position riding hard cock and as the scene progresses, the more I buy into her act. Once she’s being fucked, even if her potty mouth sounds as if she’s being fed lines, everything else feels like it comes from the heart. Case puts her in all the right positions to showcase that miracle of a body and then shoots the frantic and frenzied action from all the right angles, making sure we get our money’s worth and see plenty of her stupendous knockers and incredibly bouncy backside. Metrosexual as he may be, Val Jean took Jenaveve to the brink and left his jizz all over her lips and chest to remember him by. Best Jolie performance I’ve seen yet.



Paola Rey
Paola Rey is already completely nude and soaking wet. She‘s in the bathtub and no sooner than she can get up, bend over and show us her ass, Mark Ashley is right there with his nose crammed in between her cheeks. “I wanna suck your big dick,” Paola says rather bluntly and in very plain, easily understandable English, a no-no in these sorts of movies, I thought, which are generally filled with tons of spanglish and faux “papi“ and “que rico“ moans. After working his prick over with her hands and mouth, Paola is tossed onto the sink, where Mark fingers her pussy rapidly until she cums. Only then does he slide his cock in and begin his attempt to fuck Paola through the mirror behind her. Rey rubs at her clit while Mark makes with the serious deep-dicking, literally taking little Paola‘s breath away with each hard stroke. He turns her around and fucks her face-to-face, suspending her in mid-air with his own arm strength before taking her down to the floor for some doggie action and a dick-stiffening round of cowgirl where Paola wiggles and wriggles her little ass in circles over just the tip of his prick. Reverse cowgirl follows and Paola sounds like a pregnancy coach teaching a Lamaze class the way she’s breathing. Her reverse cowgirl riding skills are on point, though and she takes Ashley‘s rapid fire fuck thrusts like a pro until he pulls out and shoots cum onto her stomach. Paola scoops it up with her fingers and shoves them in her mouth. As far as first impressions go, I‘d say Paola is built for this business with a capital “B.”



Rio Mariah
Call me a geek but Rio Mariah‘s outfit looks like what Dana Vespoli‘s nemesis from Crack Her Jack #2 would wear. Get it? See villains tend to be the anti-thesis of what the hero is and since brunette Vespoli wore a red racing outfit in CHJ, Rio‘s blonde hair and yellow outfit here would make her….oh forget it, let‘s talk about those tits. I remember, like always, being a tad miffed when Rio decided to get enhanced but you know what? They don‘t look half bad now and I find her as sexy as ever if not moreso. Rio is copper-toned, hawt Brazilian lava and she really gets off in front of the camera here playing with herself and shoving four fingers in her pussy while she sticks three fingers in her ass. She‘s all worked up and breathing hard already by the time Mark Wood and Benjamin Bratt arrive and she‘s chompin‘ at the bit to rip their cocks outta their jeans and suck them off. Literally. As in, suck their dicks clean off of their bodies and take them back to Brazil as trophies.

If Rio had a heat gauge on her body somewhere right now, it‘d most definitely be “in the red.” The guys take turns restricting Rio‘s hands above her head while shoving her face into the other‘s crotch. Rio? She can‘t get enough. In fact, when they give her her hands back, the first thing she does is grab both dicks and shove them both in her mouth at the same time. When it‘s finally time to start fucking, the dicks slide into Rio like well-oiled engine parts and she starts fucking back like the MACHINE she is. Doggie first with Bratt while she blows Wood and then a reverse cowgirl uber-grinding on Wood with a mouthful of Bratt. Anal doggie with Benjamin really turns Rio‘s crank; she likes it so much she can barely concentrate on blowing Mark because she has to keep yelping out in pleasure. Riding Wood cowgirl she begs Bratt to fuck her “culo,” so the boys DP the crap out of her (not literally, thank God) while she talks shit in Spanish: “Mas, mas…QUIERO MAS!” Then she suddenly shifts back to English: “Let me taste my ass…come fuck my ass.” A cowgirl and reverse cowgirl DP jump off next, before moving to a standing DP. Man, what one boob job can do for your confidence. This is a far cry from the flat-chested somewhat passive-submissive Rio we saw just a few years ago. The new tit-tastic Rio is a fuckin‘ cock-hungry, aggressive and insatiable anal-rific MONSTER. After the double penetrations, Mark and Ben just pass Rio back and forth, fucking her asshole in any and all positions they can contort her into until they both jerk their jizzum out right onto her face and in her mouth. Mariah‘s in heaven as she cleans up, her face and chest absolutely drenched in man-wax. Damn. Make way for Rio Mariah v. 2K4.



Extras:

A cum shot loop, photo gallery, trailers for more 3rd Degree releases, and a 20-minute Behind the Scenes featurette which focuses mainly on the photo shoots for each of the girls. Jenaveve‘s and Jennifer‘s photo shoots are must-see material.

Comments:

Every good company has an ethnic line, be it black, latina or asian. 3rd Degree has their first true ethnic line in Chicks & Salsa. But like all their releases, it‘s not your typical, run-of-the-mill line. It is, however, everything you would expect but with that familiar 3rd Degree edge. I can‘t quite put my finger on what it is they do that clearly sets them apart from the other companies out there but they are fresh and new and really putting together some outstanding titles and casts with not wholly original concepts but at least with a twist on their approach. Their originality is what‘s going to continue to separate 3rd Degree from their competitors in the long run as long as they don‘t get lazy or rest on their laurels. Chicks & Salsa is yet another excellent addition to their library (and yours, if you‘re smart) and hopefully it becomes a regular series.
