Silver Label Review

Reviewed by Tongue in Groove  on  8/7/2005

“Silver Label” (aka “Sensual Blend”) has a plethora of technical problems, all of which could be overlooked if the girls were decent looking and the sex was hot. Unfortunately, neither of these factors is addressed by Damaged Productions or director Antonio del Toro.

Problems? Where to start? Okay, how about the amateurish camerawork. The cameraman needed a couple more cups of coffee that morning, as his shaky hand is evident in just about every position change. When he wasn’t shaking, rattling or rolling the camera, he was trying to get fancy by turning his camera sideways MTV style, often resulting in out of focus shots. Who started this obnoxious trend in porn?

In addition, the camera cuts away from the money shot to show the guy’s face. We know what grimacing and straining looks like…just leave the camera on the girl’s face! Then they cut away from the girl’s face after the frosting way too quick.

So much for the technical issues. The girls are average looking, at best. Alysin Chaynes used to be a very hot cutie. But those days are long gone and she compounds her aging problem by not taking a facial, which might have saved her lackluster scene. Victoria is a semi-cute brunette. The others - Lezley Zen, Mason Storm, and Taylor Lynn – are all old pros (with emphasis on “old”).

The DVD extras include a two-minute Behind the Scenes feature, Photo Gallery, Cumshot Loop, Trailers, and a Bonus Scene (Julie Robbins with Chris Mountain and Matt Bixel).
