Rocco Rocks Review

Reviewed by Renee  on  9/2/2004

Rocco Rocks is a compilation DVD from Vivid, of the 18 or so scenes that Rocco Siffredi, the famous Italian porn star, did in Vivid/VCA features during the 1990's . This alone is quite a break from his usual European-made fare, since he is well-known for performing in scenes focusing on anal sex, group sex and even sex in its more perverted/rough aspects.

In this compilation film, the majority of the scenes are Rocco with one woman at a time, performing vaginal sex only, and even wearing a condom in some scenes (!). The scenes have the acting portions edited out, so what is left is four hours of Rocco, showing what he can do within the constraints of a Vivid film.

And those constraints don't mean that he performs at a lower level. If anything, Rocco looks just as energized and intense as in his European films. This man can make the missionary position look fantastic, being that he moves from simple mish, to kneeling mish, to kneeling with the lady's legs up on his shoulders, to placing her legs on one of his shoulders, to standing mish, to standing with one of her legs wrapped around his waist, and so on. There's nary a boring moment in regards to his own performances. As usual, he's looking right at the women throughout the scene, and he never looks like he wishes he was elsewhere.

Furthermore, the man shows his skills with his tongue, looking like he thoroughly enjoys licking the ladies – totally unlike Rocco's own films, where one is lucky to see him devote 20 seconds to gratifying a woman this way.

With several of the ladies, there's a good match chemistry-wise between Rocco and themselves. Scenes that stand out are those with Taylor Hayes, Chasey Lain, Melissa Hill, and Celeste. All these women are a welcome break from the usual EuroBabes that he's paired with; the American women look like they can't wait to get their hands on Rocco, versus the EuroBabes who often look like they can't wait to pick up their checks and go home.

There are two scenes that really stood out for me. One is with Nikki Dial - she practically undresses Rocco, then pounces on him. At one point when Rocco is licking her, he pauses to gaze up and smile at Nikki. She gently puts her hand on his head and presses down, as if to say, "Rocco, you're not finished yet." Like a good lover, Rocco continues on. The second outstanding scene is with Jenna Jameson, from her film "Jenna Loves Rocco". This vignette could have been entitled "The Sex Kitten Meets the Italian Tiger". What a match!

The only drawbacks from the film are occasionally boring camera angles, and some intrusive music, that drowns out the actors' voices. The lighting for the most part is fine in the scenes, though the picture quality is slightly grainy in some of the older ones. One other issue is the mandatory phone sex ads in the beginning and middle of the film, quite annoying. There's no way to skip them, though one can use fast forward to get through them.

Most of the scenes are a good mix of long, medium and close-up shots, and plenty of them show just as much of Rocco as the women, for those who want to feast on the tanned, toned and slim Rocco of the 90's. So, for those of you who are looking for a long tall drink of Rocco, a kinder, gentler Rocco, indulge yourself!
