North Pole #8

Directed by Peter North

Starring: Sylvia, Jewel De'Nyle, Barrett Moore, Aspen Brock, Harmony Grant, Jade Marcella, Peter North, Eric Everhard, Rob Scott, Chris Cannon, Chris Charming.

This is Peter North's eighth entry in his North Pole series, which does a pretty good job of straddling the fence between hardcore gonzo and couples oriented vignettes. Instead of grubby guys trying to prove to the camera how "hardcore" they really are, Peter instead opts for well appointed locations, very pretty girls, and shots that steer away from strictly gynecological close ups. At the same time, however, you still get facials, anal, strap ons, and all the other things that make a hardcore video hardcore.

There is some above average sex on this disc, but you won't find much in the way of extras. There are a handful of trailers for other titles which are well put together, but that's about it. Everything is professionally constructed, on the other hand. The picture is sharp, the sound is clear, and the menus work. Of course, all this should be true. This is DVD, after all. The selling point of North Pole #8 isn't its bells and whistles, its the sex contained within.

There are five scenes here, and they stand alone as vignettes. There are no stories, or even setups. You get a location, actors, and sex. The first vignette has European Sylvia exploring her "first" American man on the back lawn of what we're led to believe is Peter's house. Sylvia sports a short black wig for some reason, and black stockings, for those of you who like that kind of thing. There's some anal here and a nice facial, but Peter relies on its star's beauty to carry the scene. She's quite pretty--really nice natural tits--but she could stand to show a little more heat.

Next, Peter North directs himself in a four-way with Jewel De'Nyle, Barrett Moore and Aspen Brock. Who could blame him? Jewel is probably enough to satisfy every other man's libido, but if you know anything about Mr. North, then you know that the man is all about volume. He takes his turn with each of the girls next to a pool, and each of the girls take their turn with each other. This is easily the high point of the show. At one point Jewel gets DP'd by a double headed dildo that looks like it came from Home Depot instead of your local smut shop. It's really a piece of work. But it's when she finally climbs aboard Peter that she really shows off. I've always thought Jewel De'Nyle displayed one of the most impressive bodies in porn, but she never showed much enthusiasm in using it. Not here, though. She lets herself go, and it doesn't take long before the three girls brace themselves for the pop shot. North long ago cemented his reputation as the money shot king, and the only thing that could make a Peter North pop more impressive is if his ejaculate were immediately followed by a small unfurled flag that says "Bang!" This time he gives a freakishly healthy shot to each girl's face, then goes back and blasts each of the three a second time. Amazing.

Harmony Grant and Rob Scott pair up together for some extended anal action that's made more enjoyable by her long, slender body. Even if you're not exclusively a leg man you will appreciate the pair Harmony is blessed with. Even more so, you'll appreciate what she does once they're spread. The two go through a small catalogue of positions in a slightly above average scene. Perhaps I would have been more into their coupling had it not been for a seemingly innocent remark Scott makes early on while getting his dick sucked. With his cock lodged firmly in Harmony's mouth he looks her in the eye and says, "That feels so wicked." The last time I heard someone use the word "wicked" as an adjective it was in the context of describing Styx's Kilroy Was Here album...way back when it was actually on vinyl. It's not all his fault, but I don't want to think about Dennis DeYoung and Tommy Shaw when I'm trying to think about blow jobs and ass banging. Domo arigoto, Mr. Scott.

North returns for a fairly short scene with Cricket, who looks like like she might have stepped right out of a comic book and directly into porn. I've seen her in the past, and there was something about her that gave me the willies, I don't mind saying. I think, maybe, she has a crazy woman's eyes. Perhaps I was intimidated by her overly ripe body, or her cliched porn starlet mannerisms. So, why did I all of a sudden really dig her in this scene? Is it because I've become more mature, and am now better able to cope with my personal porn watching insecurities. I don't think so. I think she appeals to me here because she simply looks better than I've ever seen her before. Her body is packed (with silicone, yes, but still packed) her skin is smooth and tan, and she comes across as being a really good time. North bangs her in a couple of brief positions, then pulls out to unload on her back. The last time I saw this much semen on a girl, it was in a gangbang tape and it took about six guys to do it. Not only am I fairly impressed with the scene, but I still marvel at the fact that North could maintain consciousness after depleting himself of so many bodily fluids.

Lastly, Jade Marcella conducts a bedroom three- way with Chris Cannon and Chris Charming. Decked out in nothing more than a pair of black stockings, Jade rides Cannon long enough to get things primed for the anal action that follows. Again, this is just a warm-up for something bigger, as the two flip her over and commence to the good old traditional DP--both in the pussy. This doesn't last long, however. Either Cannon found the fit too tight, or too gay, but he ends up pulling it out and reinserting himself in her ass where the things continue until the the scene's inevitable conclusion. This is the nastiest of the five scenes offered. I've seen Jade look better, but rarely has she been nastier.

This is well shot porn. It's certainly nasty at times and professional enough to separate itself from much of the gonzo stuff on the market. A couple of the performances were a little lackluster, but nothing was downright frigid or bad. And what a couple of the scenes lack in heat, the Peter-Jewel-Barrett-Aspen four-way more than compensates for in enthusiasm.
