"Hand Solo" is a female masturbation movie with a long procession of hot girls getting themselves off. Platinum X isn't usually known for solo movies, and as far as I know this is the only one produced by them or Red Light District. We get to see these porno starlets in all their glory in short scenes totally focused on the girl. The movie is shot by veteran performer/director Sean Michaels; the girls are hot but the camera work and lighting leave a lot to be desired. Here's a recap of the action:

Scene 1: Jayna Oso

Jayna Oso, who used to perform under the name Malaysia, is first up on the disc. She's a Latina temptress with a great body and super-hard nipples in this scene. The lighting is terrible and we get lots of shadows cast over the beautiful Jayna which was a shame. She teases the camera and breaks out a segmented purple dildo thing which is featured on the cover. She works it into her pussy and ass but the entire scene is obscured by shadows.

Scene 2: Vanessa Blue

Vanessa's a voluptuous African-American woman with seductive eyes and a great smile. She spreads open her dark pussy to reveal her bright pink insides before busting out a clear glass dildo and pleasuring herself with it.

Scene 3: Summer Lynn

Summer's the only girl in the cast who is unfamiliar to me... and I can't see how I've missed her all this time. She looks great with blonde hair and huge natural tits with large puffy nipples. She talks to the camera and fingers herself nicely. When she bends over on the bed you can't hardly even see her due to the severe shadows. She breaks out a rotating vibrator with clit stimulator and pushes it into herself.

Scene 4: Lucy Lee

This is Lucy Lee the Asian starlet, not the European one. She always looks like she's heartily enjoying every sex scene I've seen her perform in. She looks stunning here as usual masturbating with a yellow vibrator which goes in her pussy and is sucked clean.

Scene 5: Lani Lei

Lani is my kind of girl with a voluptuous natural body and dark skin. She has an extremely cute smile but her scene too is marred by extremely dark lighting. She dances around and reveals her luscious body but I kept waiting for something to happen not only in her scene but in the entire movie. Eventually Lani masturbates a little bit but we can hardly see her due to the lighting.

Scene 6: Cole Conners

Cole is a tall and lithe Latina vixen who looks cute in this movie in some short pigtails. The lighting's better in her scene. She takes off her panties and top and fingers her shaved pussy. She works a couple toys into herself, and like the other scenes, Cole's just kind of fades away eventually.

Scene 7: Ice La Fox

Ice is a super-hot Latina seductress with braces on her teeth and straight black hair. Ice is definitely one of the hotter girls featured in this release and looks great fingering herself on a chair and spreading her pussy open. Ice has some incredible breasts and a sexy tongue ring. The lighting again sucks in her scene though, but at least Ice looked great. She shares the big purple thing that Jayna used and fucks herself.

Scene 8: Alex Devine

Alex is a real cutie in the girl-next-door way. She's got shorter blonde hair and a tight natural body. Sean rambles for a long time, which adds nothing to the scene. He seems to talk a lot behind the camera for a movie that is supposed to be focused on the girls. Finally Alex gets down to business, fingering herself through her blue lace panties. She uses a pretty big blue dildo on herself as well.

Scene 9: Chanel Chavez

This cast is great because it features a wide variety of women of all different ethnicities. Chanel is another Latina cutie with a tight pale body and nice smile. She fingers herself and Sean intrudes on the scene some more by groping her breasts. She gets a finger up her ass too, and uses a vibrator on her clit.

Scene 10: Teagan

No offense to any of the other girls here, but Sean has saved the best for last with the lovely Teagan (aka Teagan Presley). This is from a long time ago, in porn terms, before her contract. Teagan looks fantastic as usual in a pink fishnet top and black panties. She cleans her private bits in a bidet and looks quite sexy getting into a bubble bath. She plays with a few toys covered in suds and looks fantastic. She puts a small butt-plug in her ass and some large pink beads into her pussy. Even the lighting was great in this scene and it ends the DVD on a definite high note.

The lighting in the title was not great for the most part and there were lots of shadows and dark spots everywhere. In Jayna's scene you couldn't even make out the dildo going into her, which is pretty much the only point of this movie. Having said that, though, the cast is very hot and the disc serves as a great introduction to some fine new starlets, so it may be worth a rental on that front.

Teagan's scene was definitely the best and fans of her may want to give it a look. Fans of solo sessions may be a little disappointed because of the brevity of the scenes and the seeming lack of authentic orgasms from the girls. I found it to be pretty uninspired and not especially exciting. "Hand Solo" ultimately can't rise above the average because of the occasional lighting problems and the lack of genuinely hot masturbation action.
