Solo Girls vol 1

Studio: Silver Sinema

Stars: Cassie Young, Jaylynn West, Mystie May, Nyomi Marcela, Renae Cruz, Samantha Ryan, Savannah Stern, Thea Marie, Tiffany Taylor and Alec

Running time: 1:18 (feature), 26 min (bonus scene)

Nine girls in nine scenes (not counting the bonus), all pretty much doing the same thing. Each scene begins with the girl in a room by herself, dressed in some sort of lingerie. She does a little dance and strips, then settles back onto a sofa or a chair or a bed and plays with herself, first with fingers and then (maybe) with a toy. Climax and then next scene.

The only real variation is in the girls themselves. They're all white (one could be latino or asian, it's hard to tell), slim and young, but some are blond, some brunette, some brunette. A couple of them are exotic, a couple are girl-next-door types. Only one girl here is fairly busty and that's due to silicone (it's obvious), the rest appear natural.

There's no pretense here: no talking to the camera, no setting scenes or fantasies. But there is some dancing at the beginning and a lot of bad music, and it does have that lap-dance quality to it. The girls are fairly vocal during the act, which may or may not (likely) be real, depending on how skeptical you are. The whole thing is very stylistic, not realistic.

Audio is okay. Video is so-so. The picture is clean and clear and the camera aims where I want it to, but I thind the color is awful. Most of the scenes are muted and dull or have a color-cast that reminds me of old, fading color photos. Some of these girls are very pretty and they'd look a lot better in cleaner, brighter color.

Frankly the whole thing reminds me of old 8mm loops. While the production standards are obviously better than amateur or low-budget work, the content isn't. The girls are cute and the action is there, but it looks to me to be by-the-numbers, "let's knock this out and call it a day" work. It's all there but it lacks passion. The erotic needle is firmly resting on zero.

Special Features: One bonus scene--M/F hardcore between Alec and Savannah Stern. Plus a still gallery and trailers for three other (non-masturbation) titles.

Final verdict: Meh. Nice looking girls, good camera work, so-so video, bad music. They go through the motions but they don't sell it. Unless you're a fan of one these actresses and anything she does will hit the spot, there are better masturbation videos out there.
