REVIEW:
I have to admit to having mixed feelings about Keri Sable.  On one hand she totally embodies everything that my shameless blonde-loving, tiny body-addicted sexual psyche goes batty over.  On the other hand, though, I don't know.  When it comes down to it, she just seems kinda mechanical when she has sex.  It's a difficult dichotomy for me to come to terms with.  Ah well, that's porn for ya.  Anyway, this is Keri's first starring role in a Wicked release, and she is really nicely represented here--featured in three of the six scenes on the disc.  One thing I can say with pretty good certainty about Keri, although her face and smile are lacking in my book, her body is totally top notch, and I'm gonna get turned on even if all I see her do is strip.  Some people might bitch about her being too thin.  If you're one of those looking for some camaraderie in that regard, you're not going to find it here.

Scene 1 - Keri Sable & Rod Fontana

A voice over, that I'm pretty sure is not Keri's voice, starts discussing the darker side of human sexual fantasy.  I'm reasonably assured that she's not even going to near touch on the darker side of my fantasies, but that's ok.  Keri does take things to a refreshingly nasty distance for a Wicked release though, as she attempts to seduce a rather unappealing, BBQ eatin' Rod Fontana to give her some cock-attention.  Not being a complete moron, Rod responds to Keri and they have a great lookin' fuck on a couch.  Keri looks fantastic, and while the sex isn't as nasty as I'd like it, her body alone is enough to keep me plenty interested.  They go at it in a couple positions (doggy, and cowgirl mostly) before Rod lets go of an itty-bitty load onto Keri's chin, which they both try to make the most of.

Scene 2 - Keri Sable & Evan Stone

Keri's voice over goes on to destroy my fantasy and, I'm sure, makes it more appealing for the women out there by claiming that she'd prefer a more handsome guy--grimy, wet, "you get the picture".  ::sigh:: I s'pose.  Fuckin' handsome, grimy, wet guys!  Evan Stone is on hand to more than adequately play that part, and hey, Keri's putting out for her second scene of the disc, so I'm not complainin' too much.  Keri stands outside, with her back to what looks like a storage tank and a ladder--her incredible pencil hard nipples exposed to the air as Evan aggressively fingers her pussy.  It isn't long before they switch and Keri slithers her tongue all over Evan's cock and balls.  For an extra bonus, Keri takes it up the ass, and God does she look yummy doing it.  Once again though, there's that "vacationing soul" factor that seems to characterize her performances.  Maybe it's just me.  Still, have I mentioned how fuckin' great she looks?  Evan cums in her mouth--and in the middle of it we see the flash of a still camera go off.  ::groan:: Does Wicked not know better than that?  Oh well. 

Scene 3 - Cassie Courtland & Herschel Savage

Cassie is a pretty blonde--seemingly in keeping with the theme of this movie (:-D)--and during a swinger's party, she has the good (?) fortune of fucking Alexis Malone's husband, Herschel Savage in a pool.  She truly has all the tight bodied sexiness of Keri Sable without having the tanned, anorexic look.  I can't decide whether I like that better, all I care about is that I like it.  Cassie looks fantastic as Herschel slowly strips her of her bikini and has his way with her.  The down side, well for me anyway, is that this is a very gentle scene--slow and without anything in the way of fire.  I found it rather boring, and it's not really what I come to porn to watch.  There's some slow and gentle cocksucking, pussy licking, missionary and doggy, all capped off with Herschel Savage's famous thick and oozy load nearly missing Cassie's face completely.  It's a pretty, but decidedly uninteresting scene.

Scene 4 - Alexis Malone & Grant Michaels

Yet another gorgeous blonde, Alexis Malone graces the screen as she gets her own swinging action while her husband is off with Cassie.  For those who don't read my reviews--I'm glad you're not wasting your time...  

Seriously though, Alexis is a favorite of mine, and I've made no secret of this in the past.  She looks fucking great here with her beautiful tiny breasts peaking out of her stretched bikini top while Grant eagerly laps at her pussy.  She looks equally good sucking his cock, but she does this for a long time, and, with no real position changes or even different camera angles, it becomes stagnant real quick.  When they finally get down to some fucking, the same thing seems to happen.  There's certainly more energy than in Cassie and Herschel's scene, but the presentation is just so static that there's nothing to really get excited about.  Even the ending kinda fell flat on its face.  The scene is really a waste of both Alexis' gorgeous assets, and her strong sexual talents.

Scene 5 - Keri Sable & Alex Sanders

Alex Sanders as a doctor--now that's a hoot.  Keri's back (Yay!), but this time she's fucking Alex (boo!) as he plays doctor and explores her naked body, complete with rubber gloves and green scrubs.  Why don't I like Alex Sanders, you ask?  Well perhaps it's just nasty fall out from this movie, but I think it's more than that.  He just seems.... icky to me.  But hey--I'm sure he's a perfectly nice guy.  Anyway, Keri is anything but icky as she gets on her hands and knees and licks on Alex's cock.  Great backlighting shows off Keri's killer body as they fuck doggy style, and then, God love her, she takes it up the ass.  Lack of sexual expression or not, Keri is quite the anal pro, I must say--and praise be to Wicked for giving her the chance to let her talents shine.  There's plenty more yummy anal action both in doggy and missionary (although I wish they'd built this up a little more--made the anal more of an event than it was).  I wish there were a lot of things in this scene--more dirty talk, more sexual build-up--SOMEthing, but the lack of pure, "holy-cow" eye-candy was NOT one of the problems here.

Scene 6 - Jezzebelle Bond

This scene is literally only one or two minutes long, and all we see are some brief images of Jezebelle masturbating in a wheel chair.  I don't understand why it's here at all, but hey--it's not for me to understand.  Maybe it has something to do with the ultra-thin through-line of "story" that tries to link all the vignettes together.  If so, I didn't get it, but then that wouldn't be the first time.

EXTRAS:

Behind the Scenes of Dark Sins:  36 Mins.  It's interesting to see all the stuff they shot for this movie that didn't make it into the final cut--and that includes a DP for Keri, and some creepy morgue footage.  Who knows what the story about that missing footage is.  They don't bother to explain it here.  Otherwise, this is not as interesting as some other Wicked behind the scenes features, but it's still not too shabby.
Bonus Sex Scene with Keri Sable & Randy Spears from Intrigue: 17 Mins. More Keri eye candy at its best.
Interview with Keri Sable: 5 Mins.
Interview with Alexis Malone: 2 Mins.
Interview with Cassie Courtland: 3 Mins.
Trailers: The Collector, One Man's Obsession, Road Trixxx, Shameless, Secrets of the Velvet Ring, Wicked Sex Party #7.

OVERALL:
Let me tell you this.  You want to see some fuckin' gorgeous un-"enhanced" blondes--this is the movie to watch. Between Keri Sable, Alexis Malone and Cassie Courtland, you really can't go wrong.  Unfortunately the sex itself seemed quite characteristic of Michael Raven's usual work.  It was very static and at times, downright boring to watch.  Although at no time was there a lack of pretty girl parts around, the sex and its uninspired presentation just didn't have a a lot of spark at all.  For me, Keri's scenes were certainly the most interesting.  I can't exactly pinpoint why that is.  Perhaps it's just that she engaged in more interesting acts, including two anals and some deep throat.  Beyond that I've seen Alexis in much stronger scenes than this, and Cassie was cute but things were just too slow and gentle, and lacked even the "slow and gentle" chemistry that might have saved it.  Overall, I think it was worth watching to see Keri and some of her harder acts so beautifully captured.  Beyond that though, I can only recommend this as a quick rental.
