Fresh New Faces 2 Review

Studio: PlatinumXPictures

Themes: New Talent, Anal Sex, Conventional Sex, Gonzo, some slapping (not to face)

Fresh New Faces is the series from this PXP actor/director that highlights actresses who are new to the US porn industry. With one exception, this second edition features boy/girl scenes which start with a short interview of the actress by the director. As the front cover says, these are hot new girls who get down with sex.

Scene 1: Dani Woodward, Michael Stefano

Dani, 19 years old and from Detroit (Woodward is a major boulevard in the city), is by far the prettiest actress in this film; she is a genuinely beautiful redhead with an almost exotic look, which the box cover photo does justice to nicely. The black outfit she wears enhances her shapely figure – which is all natural, with only one tattoo. Michael interviews her in a concrete gym, where she does a POV BJ on him. They move to a living room, where they kiss and fondle each other on a couch.
        He says erotically, "Tell me that you want me to fuck you," as he gets into spoon position with her. As she repeats this, Michael penetrates her bit by bit. As he moves slow and then fast, she moans, "I love this," several times. Michael then moves her into RCG, done 3 different ways, all the time gazing at her deeply. They break for some more kissing and fondling, done standing up – by this point, they look like they are going crazy for each other. Following some hard ass slaps, he does her in doggy, then rims her, puts 4 fingers in her, making her lick them. It's on to CG, which leads to an energetic standing position, making her moan even louder.
        "You feel so hard," Dani reveals, right before PTM, then kneeling mish. Michael has to slow down (he looks winded), while she may have had an orgasm here. After this single 25 min. long take (with minimal edits, very impressive!), there is a cut to him cumming on her face.
        This scene was one of the more powerful ones in the film, with these two demonstrating that they liked performing together. The way the director talks calmly the whole time to Dani also worked well; I even noticed that he says "sweetheart" whenever he wants Dani to change postions, but calls her "baby" all the other times. My only concern was the occasional miss-placed close-ups on Dani, when I would have chosen some longer shots.

Scene 2: Victoria, Ben English

Outside, Michael interviews this tall, slim German brunette, who is all natural except for her large tattoo on her upper back (that's oh so American). She has only been in the US for 4 weeks, and has done just a few scenes. After some teasing and fondling, Michael takes her indoors to meet the above Englishman. A quick fondling and fingering is followed by a long blowjob, where Ben makes her go pretty deep. Victoria asks to be fucked, but he says no, more BJ! He gets his way, but there is then a cut to a vigorous RCG, then it's onto doggy, which Victoria likes better. Some PTM, then CG anal with some ass slaps; it's clear that Victoria has done anal before this film, she looked comfortable with all this. Onto ATM, then some spirited anal piledriver, then reverse anal piledriver, which she seems to like as well. It finishes with Ben jerking off on her face.
        This scene had a better mix of close-up, medium and long shots than the first. However, it had a plethora of that British dirty talk, which the actor practically barks out, such as "Grind that fucking cock," and "Right up your fucking ass." I think he made Victoria a tad nervous with this language. Ben sounded like a sergeant in the British Army; maybe that's where he learned his amorous language skills. In contrast, Michael was using dirty talk in the first scene, but he does it with finesse and at a lower decibel level, a lot more to my taste.

Scene 3: Janet Taylor, Michael Stefano

Janet, with her enhanced tits, is a brunette who says she is from France, and has only been in the US for a week. She does look good in some black lingerie, and she also looks good and experienced as she does a POV BJ on Michael. Cut to a sofa, where they are in spoon, then it is RCG done various ways. After some PTM, it's onto CG, where she leans around and touches his balls, which definitely gets him going. "You know what you're doing, don't you?" Michael says to her. It's onto mish 2 different ways, then he cums on her face, to end a moderately entertaining segment.

Scene 4: Mason Storm, Pascal Saint James

Mason is a petite Latina brunette from Florida, with well-done enhanced breasts and a large tattoo on her lower back, though she does have lovely eyes and an exotic look. She's only been doing hardcore films for 2 months; she's still an anal virgin, and proud of it, though she offers to "bend over" any guy. She certainly has lots of personality, relating to the director that she likes to be in control.
        Pascal, a 30-ish Frenchman, is waiting inside for her. What a smooth operator this guy was, kissing and fondling her so much, all over her petite body. "He's gentle," Mason remarks, as he goes down on her, very professionally done, I might add. This man knows what he is doing, and he gets the expected positive results from Mason.
        After a lot of foreplay (way more than is usual in gonzo films, but it was a refreshing change from the standard routine), there is a cut to her giving him an enthusiastic blowjob, with him clearly looking ecstatic as he leans back on the sofa. There is some doggy, then spooning; when Pascal caresses her pussy while he is inside her, she moans a lot, and she may have climaxed here. With some more kisses they move onto RCG; Mason says she came at this point, and it looked like it, too.
        Mason then asks to blow him – Pascal naturally replies 'yes' to her request. She sucks and strokes him so strongly that she makes him cum – and baby, she was definitely in control, no doubt about it. A fine, spirited ending to a good scene, the only one that had no slapping in it. Inadvertently, this scene gave a good contrast of the sexual skills of Pascal the Frenchman and Ben the Englishman.

Scene 5: Sophia, Toni Ribas, Michael Stefano

Blonde and athletic Sophia has those girl-next-door good looks; she's 21 and from Arizona. She has a shapely figure, with possibly enhanced breasts, I couldn't tell for certain. Sophia can't remember the number of guys she's been with, but this doesn't bother her at all. Hey, she likes sex, she tells Michael.
        She wasn't kidding. Even with these two experienced men working with her, she put on quite a show. They start with a dual BJ, and Toni gets her to deep throat him. Onto a sofa, where she blows Michael, while Toni fingers her vigorously until she comes, making her scream (the guys have the decency to slow down so she can enjoy her climax). The men proceed to put her through a mind-boggling set of positions, usually with one inside her, while she sucks on the other man. They do talk to her a lot, and I liked the way Toni keeps up a good back-and-forth conversation with her.
        At one time, she is deep-throating Toni, while Michael is analing her, and he puts a large dildo in her pussy. There was plenty of double pussy penetration (DPP), which she handled well, even cumming once or twice more. There was also regular hard DP's, interspersed with ATM's on both men; during one DP, Toni sticks two fingers in her pussy while both he and Michael were inside her. They finish alternating between DPP and DP, and she cums again. To conclude, they both cum on her face, and she smiles. They all look out of breath, but who can blame them?
        Sophia said during the initial interview that she had only done 2 porn scenes prior to this one. Can you believe it?

Overall Impression: This film is filled with plenty of decent gonzo-type sex scenes, especially the first, fourth and fifth. The performances were fine, as was the majority of the camera work and editing. I enjoyed the way the director conducts his little interviews; he's asks the usual questions, but at least he does it in a way that doesn't embarrass the actresses, or make them uncomfortable.
        The above 3 scenes were worth mentioning because they didn't follow the tried-and-true gonzo formula of tease-BJ-vaginal sex-anal sex-cum shot. There was a good mix of positions and acts, and variations on positions that cut way down on the formulaic feeling that is all too common in today's gonzo films. Two of these scenes did not have any anal sex in them, either, and they were still plenty hot.
        My only issue: except for the case of Dani Woodward, I rather suspect that the other women have had a couple months of porn work under their belts. Mason has done some softcore films and a lot of stripping/dancing, and I would guess that Victoria has done porn in Europe. I wonder if Janet and Sophia have worked under other names in the LA porn industry, owing to their great level of comfort on film, or perhaps they have just had a lot of sexual experiences. At least Sophia gave a good showing; my impression with Janet was that this could have been her 56th fuck film, and tomorrow would be her 57th, it was all so routine to her. It must be difficult for producers to find truly new actresses, who haven't worked in the US or Europe for very long. At least Dani did fit the bill, and came across as both shy of experience, but willing and able to give it her all.

But, what the hell, this is a porn film, not an exercise in truthfulness, so rent/buy it and enjoy.

DVD Extras: BTS footage, photo gallery and shoot, cum shot recap, director's biography.

In the BTS, there were two things I noticed. One was Dani in a gorgeous black lingerie outfit with matching stockings and long gloves, which is not in the rest of the film, unfortunately. The other thing was a brief segment of Sophia in CG on Toni Ribas. I swear, this man made her cum just with his voice, as she ground her hips into his. "Come for me!" he says over and over, punctuated by him using his eyes to peer right at her. And she does cum, practically on cue, with a dreamy expression on her face right afterwards. This Spaniard is, undoubtedly, a talented man.

Renee's Wristwatch-O-Meter: This film is rated a 5 out of a possible 6, nearly a perfect score. Of the six times men are performing in this film, only Pascal kept his watch on. Seeing a man's large timepiece, as he clutches a starlet, is a real fantasy killer to me; I don't think a watch belongs anywhere near a sex scene.

Best line in film: Mason about Pascal, "He smells really nice." I bet anything this Frenchman was wearing expensive French cologne, not the cheap Canoe or Brut that American men wear, if a woman's lucky to get even that. Michael thinks it's just that Pascal has taken a shower, but Mason knows better. At any rate, Pascal likes that she noticed.

2nd Best line: Janet to Michael, "I am French, I have only been in the US for 1 week, I can't remember how many films I've done, no wait, it's less than 10." Oh,please! Even Michael tells her that she sounds American. To me, I think she's from the Western US, probably from California. She definitely does not speak with a French accent, a la Manuel Ferrara, or even Pascal St. James in Scene 4. It's a good thing Janet wasn't paired with Pascal; he might have called her bluff.
