REVIEW:
It's been a while since I reviewed a Wicked movie, but I have to say, I've been on a bit of a kick of variety lately, and have watched a few of their more recent releases.  I've liked them.  First of all, Wicked has a very sexy line up of contract girls, and I've always admired the company for their choices in this arena.  My personal favorites of their current roster include Stormy, Kaylani Lei, and yes indeedy--Jessica Drake.  One Man's Obsession is one of Wicked's more ambitious DVD releases so far this year, and the beautiful Jessica is featured prominently in it--carrying the weight of no less than four out of the seven sex scenes.  I for one can find nothing to complain about there, since I find her incredibly sexy, and Wicked has a great way of showing off the girls so that they look their best.  Add to that some actual attempts at movie making and context, and what you end up with may still seem a bit badly acted and amateurish by main-stream standards, but I absolutely can't fault them for at least attempting to do something other than point a video camera at two people who fuck in the most outrageous ways possible.  The stories aren't always particularly well written, and the acting isn't always convincing, but simply because this is porn, I can suspend my disbelief enough to enjoy it anyway.  I'm really in the mood for a laugh, a narrative, and a hard on--and I'm hoping One Man's Obsession just might be the stimulus I'm looking for.

Jessica Drake, Cheyne Collins

Simon (Randy Spears) lives in an apartment opposite Celeste (Jessica Drake).  He, apparently has a bit of an affinity for her.  He checks her out through his binoculars as she talks on the phone, and eventually answers the door to a gentleman caller in the form of Doug (Cheyne Collins).  As one might expect, Celeste (Jessica) quickly loses her towel and performs a rather nice looking blowjob on Doug (Cheyne) as poor poor Simon (Randy) looks on.  The two eventually fuck in an exceptionally high quality video environment, including great lighting and a clear as crystal look at Jessica's flat-out gorgeous body.  It's really nice looking sex, and although it lacks a bit in the pure-heat department, Jessica more than makes up for that with her looks.  The couple copulates in a number of vaginal positions (condom in use, of course) before Cheyne eventually jerks his rather small load onto Jessica's tits, which she makes the most of by licking off her fingers.  This is a really beautifully shot scene, even if it is a tad on the "short and sanitized" side.

The next morning, Simon (Randy) wakes up with a start, remembering that he's on a stalker-schedule, and immediately checks out the happenings over at his sexy neighbor's pad.  She's just about to head out for the day, and after disguising a portable video camera as a lunch box, he heads out to follow her.  Some amazingly sexy upskirt shots of Celeste (Jessica) walking around in her shorty-short skirt are on tap, and eventually she stops by to see her modeling agent, and then stops at a cafe for coffee with her stealthy, unseen stalker in tow.  Simon ends up in the bathroom with Celeste and when she asks for toilet paper, he silently makes sure she gets some.  She never sees him, though, as Simon disappears before she's able to realize anything is a amiss.

Shay Sights, Joey Ray

Suddenly we're whisked to a rather surreal (and pretty interesting looking) pool, where Dana (Shay Sights) and Rick (Joey Ray) are about to inexplicably get it on.  Shay is a girl who I would normally say is not physically my type.  She has larger breasts and a meatier body than I normally go for.  Having said that, though, she really does look quite wonderful here.  The sex is really well captured, and the picture detail excellent.  Shay is also a bit more racy of a performer than Jessica is, and she's able to deep throat Joey's cock with apparent ease.  After she does, they fuck in a variety of positions, and eventually Shay takes it in the ass as well.  It all looks quite nice, and the strange environment adds a special quality to this scene that makes it stand out.  After Joey showers his cum onto Shay's face, the flimsy context of this tacked on sex scene is finally revealed when a photographer comes out to scold them for having sex on his set.  He tells them to make sure to clean up the spunk before huffing away.

Celeste is next up on the recently spunkified set as she engages in a rather wonderful photo-shoot, and looks just amazingly gorgeous doing it.  Simon is still stalking her, this time behind a cactus as he takes pictures of his own from afar.  He decides that he has to tell her how he feels and walks up to interrupt the photo shoot.  When he does confess his love to her, Celeste inexplicably returns the sentiment by calling him a stud, and well... just like that--they fuck.

Jessica Drake, Randy Spears

This time the location is an artificial waterfall/fountain, and it's a great backdrop for Jessica and her amazing assets.  I know you're going to grow tired of me saying this, but Jessica has simply looked stunning in this movie so far, and this scene is no exception.  She disrobes Randy and sucks his cock, and they progress through yummy, leggy lookin' missionary, and RCG and finally a killer-beautiful standing doggy behind the falling water before Randy unloads onto her lips.  The sex itself is very tame and unthreatening, and to a great degree devoid of much passion, but truly the eye-candy alone arguably makes up for the lack of enthusiasm.

Of course, this entire sequence turns out to be Simon's daydream, and he "wakes up" as he's kissing a thorn-ridden cactus as if it's Celeste's face.  The next thing we know he's back in his apartment picking out cactus thorns from his body and applying ointment.

The next stop for Simon is the fortune teller, who after extracting some money from him, gives him an "ancient love potion" concocted by her mother that will help her win Celeste's heart.  He leaves with hope in his eyes even as she's calling him a "sucker" behind his back.

Jessica Drake, Tommy Gun 

Evidently Celeste (Jessica) and Nick (Tommy Gun) have been out on a date of some kind, and he is driving her back home in his red sports car.  She tries to convince him to come up, but he says he's got a meeting to get to.  She responds by giving him a quick blowjob right there leaning against his car.  It's brief, but as always, Jessica looks fantastic, albeit a bit unnatural with the sexy leg posing while she sucks and strokes his cock.  Simon happens by the pair on his way back home and stops behind a dumpster to keep tabs on the Celeste's sexual activities.  Nick (Tommy) cums on Jessica's tongue, and as she leaves him to go back up to her apartment, Simon inadvertently makes a ruckus and Celeste yells after him with concerned rage that she sees him, and that she hoped he enjoyed the show.

Simon is back at his apartment, reading the instructions for the love potion that the fortune teller gave him.  They speak of the need for a voodoo love doll, as well as the need for Simon to raid Celeste's apartment for some necessary items.  He goes through her medicine cabinet in search of a lock of her hair, finds a vibrator, and is just about to pour the love potion into a bottle of her perfume (so that she will apply it to herself later) when he is interrupted by Jane (Nikki Benz) and Steve (Rick Patrick).  Jane is Celeste's sister, and Simon hides in the closet while the pair prepare to... you guessed it--fuck.

Nikki Benz, Rick Patrick

While Simon is busy checking out Celeste's wardrobe and petting his little voodoo love doll, Nikki and Rick get down to business.  Nikki is a very pretty blonde, with very oversized tits, but she's truly looking her best here and I find it hard to find anything to complain about.  The sex is relatively easy going, and they take some time to enjoy each other rather than just getting straight to the nasty.  It progresses through the gauntlet of average porn acts, including both cock sucking and pussy licking and and a variety of vaginal positions before Nick pulls off his condom and unloads on Nikki's pretty face.

Jane (Nikki) asks Steve (Rick) to give her a ride to the mall before she opens the closet and finds Simon.  They both scream with surprise and Simon runs off, leaving his little voodoo love doll behind.

Celeste pays a visit to the local police station where she complains about her stalker.  More yummy upskirt shots abound as all the guys in the station enjoy the view.  She's told that other than pursuing a breaking and entering charge, there's not much else they can do, and Celeste is unable to identify any of the police mug shots as Simon.  She leaves in a little bit of a huff as the whole of the police station get one last look at her gorgeous ass.

Roxanne Hall, Randy Spears

Ally (Roxanne Hall) is a street hooker looking for a trick.  Simon is interested, but only on the condition that she wears a rather creepy paper mask that resembles Celeste's visage, complete with a gaping hole where her mouth would be.  Ally reluctantly agrees, and Simon even goes so far as to call her Celeste for the entire encounter as well.  Although the mask itself is a short lived accessory (Ally eventually convinces Simon to let her take it off), the ensuing fuck has some nice creepy context to it, and even a little anal pile driver thrown in at the end to keep things interesting.  Eventually Simon asks her to wear the mask again as he unloads his cum through the hole and onto Ally's (Roxanne's) tongue and chin.  It's another visually satisfying scene, and Roxanne looks fantastic.  The context lends something to it that wouldn't be there otherwise, but like the other scenes here, there isn't a great amount of high energy or rampant enthusiasm.  Perhaps it's just the trade off for feature driven sex, but well, it's a bit disappointing when you think how much better it could be if they weren't so intent on trying to make a legitimate "movie" at the same time.  But then again, what do I know?

By the time Simon finishes, Ally is a bit annoyed and gives him some free advice about keeping his secret love for Celeste just that--a secret.  Simon is too far gone to listen and lays on a pillow that sports a picture of Celeste while he tells her that they'll be together soon.  "It was just meant to be."  

ANYway, next thing we know, Celeste is rehearsing a play with Sonya (Avena Lee) and the play's director, Graham (Brad Armstrong).  Simon is on hand, skulking around, stalking Celeste and taking pictures.  Things aren't going well in rehearsal (some play about a woman who slept with another woman's husband), and when the director takes the two ladies aside to discuss their "motivation", the discussion soon degenerates into the two ladies making out, and Graham (Brad) "stuck" in the middle of it all.

Jessica Drake, Avena Lee, Brad Armstrong

The scene takes place in a theater auditorium, with some really interesting (in a good way) lighting. Both girls look really fuckin' great, and Avena just has a pair of boobs that I can't take my eyes off of.  Anyway, this encounter is characterized by a lot of pussy to mouth action, and in many ways is more reminiscent of a 2 on 1 act-driven gonzo scene than it is anything that fits within the context of the movie.  Still in all, it certainly falls on the "less potentially offensive" side of the fence, and like I said, both girls look fucking fantastic.  Jessica even gets a little anal action in this scene, and she looks great doing it.  I don't know what it is with me, but somehow even without the crazy instanity of the hardcore all-sex vids I usually watch, decent production values alone can really make a scene worthwhile--perhaps only because decent production values are just so darn rare in porn.  Even without that asset, though, this scene is, I believe, the best sexual performance on the disc.  Finally Brad cums in Avena's pretty mouth, and Avena swaps his seed to Jessica's face.  A pretty decent scene with good action, and great lookin' visuals.

As Celeste is leaving the theater, Simon is there to follow her, only this time he's finally caught.  She gives him a choice between getting a face full of mace, or her blowing the rape whistle.  When he chooses the whistle, he regrets it, as they are just outside a Karate school.

Sometime later, and unfortunately for Celeste, a REAL stalker has taken a fancy to her, and he sneaks up on her with a knife and means business.  Simon, still undeterred by his Karate lesson, is there to save the day, and he tackles the knife wielding would-be-rapist.  Celeste in turn saves Simon from being pummeled to death by macing the attacker, and Celeste and Simon come to a tenuous, if still unsatisfying, understanding while he is taken in an ambulance to the emergency room.  

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the end of the story.

EXTRAS:
There are lots and lots of extras on this disc set.  I'm going to have to just make a list, and add some comments to the more substantial ones.

Bonus Sex Scene with Jessica Drake, Voodoo, Cheyne Collins & Chris Cannon:  5 Mins.  This is a very short triple blowjob from the movie, The Collector.  There's really not a whole lot to say about it, as it's really not much of a scene at all.  It ends in facials for Jessica, but the lighting is very dark and that last, wet 20 seconds or so is about the only highlight.
All Access: The Making of One Man's Obsession:  34 Mins.  This is a fun, behind the scenes segment that documents the making of the movie as it progresses through the days of the shoot.  There's some camera behind the camera footage, which I find less interesting than the great impromptu discussions with Jessica Drake, Randy Spears, Brad Armstrong and the other cast members.  It's a fun little piece that immerses you into the world of how the feature was shot, and I enjoyed it.
Blooper Reel:  2 Mins.  There are a few bloopers, and random Randy Spears hijinks that have some fun moments.
Behind the Scenes Sex Reel:  59 Mins.  I'm not positive, but this looks to be all the sex scenes from the movie as they were shot with the behind the scenes camera--so you get a few extra moments that you don't see in the movie proper, as well as some different angles on the stuff you did.  It's an interesting extra, and for many, I'm sure it will be nice to have all the sex from the movie in one place--without all that superfluous "story" stuff.  ;-)  I, for one, prefer the context (and the composition) of the actual movie, but this was an interesting addition nonetheless.
Fun on the Set:  6 Mins.  This is more of the same kind of fun that the "making of" had with the performers behind the scenes.  Jessica is heavily featured, she's got a fun personality, and it's worth watching.
Interview with Jessica Drake:  3 Mins.  Just a little fluffy interview with Jessica where she describes the basic premise of the movie.  Again, though, for Jessica fans, it's worth the 3 minutes of your time.
Audio Commentary with Brad Armstrong and Jessica Drake:  This is a pretty decent commentary with Jessica Drake and Brad Armstrong, and although there are a few sequences where they don't have much to talk about, it's particularly fun hearing some of Jessica's thoughts about sex and porn in general as they take their little stroll down memory lane.
Trailers:  Space Nuts, The Collector, Fluff and Fold, Eye of the Beholder, Killer Sex and Suicide Blondes. 
Wicked Casino:  A game for those with a computer and a DVD ROM drive.
Star Stats: Star info and their Wicked videographies.
Girls of One Man's Obsession: Some video footage from each of the girls photo shoots for the movie.

Wow.  Now, that's a lot of extras.

OVERALL:
This is pretty much just what the doctor ordered for me.  I can't stress enough that Jessica looks absolutely fabulous in this movie, and the upskirt shots, the long, lingering looks at her fantastic legs, and her bikini clad, poolside, wet look are more than enough reason by themselves for any fan of hers to pick this title up.  Add to that her presence in four sex scenes, and it becomes that much more of a no-brainer.  The story is a little... odd and unfocused--and ultimately, I thought, a bit disappointing in its refusal to be something more than it was, but it had a few funny moments here and there, and enough context to give the sex scenes a little more "umph" than they would carry on their own.  The sex is tame and unthreatening by today's gonzo standards, of course, and all scenes utilize condoms, but their presence is nicely discrete, and what the scenes might lack in raw heat, they more than make up for in raw eye-candy.  Some of this stuff was really exquisitely shot, and I have to give kudos to Armstrong and his camera man and videographer for some great lighting, great detail, and beautiful visuals.  One thing that cannot be overlooked in terms of sexual firsts here, however, is Jessica's first boy/girl anal, which comes in the threesome at the end of the movie.  There are some very nice moments in that scene, which include some beautiful anal fingering coupled with the nasty visuals of long strands of saliva dripping off of Jessica's gorgeous bum.  Her actual anal duty with Brad isn't too shabby either.  It's probably the best scene of raw sex in the movie, but I found any chance to watch Jessica fuck a welcome one, so I can't think of too many complaints about the rest of the scenes either.  

The extras are out of control.  There's a lot to watch and listen too, and for the most part, I found the time spent doing it worthwhile.  I particularly loved hearing Jessica talk in the commentary about her thoughts on sex, her fellow performers, and what turns her on (or off) about porn in general, and she seemed to have a really personable attitude that makes me like her all that much more.  All in all, this is an outstanding DVD release, and the biggest complaint I'd make about it is the lack of focus in the story itself.  Ultimately, it didn't seem like it really led us anywhere, and well... I know it's just porn, but I thought it could have been much more poignant than it was.  An opportunity missed.  Oh well, with Jessica looking this good, I think I can find it in my heart to forgive them.
