I'll
be focusing on commentary so check out the other 3 reviews for more descriptive
narrations of the action.

SCENE
1: Penny Flame VS. Manuel Ferrara
Vaginal,
whipped cream, Facial
It's Manuel's 29th birthday and he's having a
midlife crisis! To remedy this his buddy Erik 'buys' him a birthday
present named Penny. This will be a birthday to remember, especially
considering that the birthday cake is made from grade A+++ ass topped with
whipped cream.
Commentary: This scene is an anomaly. Take a look at the energy
rating I gave it and then look at the final score. Usually energy goes
hand in hand with scene effectiveness. And why is this? Its because most
porn out there lacks one crucial element where mach3 fucking and freak
show dirtiness must be used to substitute it. We've gotten used to this in
gonzo- the substitute for honest interaction, honest attraction, honest
emotion. Well this scene here is the bona fide real deal. Penny and Manuel
actually regard each other as real people here. The interchange of words
is passionate and emotional. There is real truth beneath it all and Penny
actually calls her partner by name. Something I can't recall elsewhere-
it's something so simple that's overlooked- it solidifies a connection and
relationship.
There's been much talk of "The girl next door" but who exactly
is she? What are the requirements? Everybody has their own conception of
"The girl next door," but Penny is mine. She's not
extraordinarily beautiful and even has flaws like her freckled face and
flushed skin. But she is approachable and earthly, fun and soulful. She
isn't the girl you regarded as beautiful until you woke up one day to
realize you were in love with her. Here, Penny shows how important wit and
personality can be to a scene. Her clever remarks really add some color to
the smut and help set it apart from all the other rehashed porn out there.
Favorite line: "You better lick me...before you stick me."
Damnit, I never liked poetry til' now! Penny is definitely more
interesting than most porn girls- there's nothing common about her
performance.
Despite some kinks in the scene- a setup much too long without any payoff
integrated into it and whipped cream which isn't used in a sexy manner-
this scene gets a perfect 5 by me for its sheer realism. The raw truth in
it, its passion by psychology over physiology should be encouraged.
ENERGY: 2.5
OVERALL SCORE: 5!

SCENE
2: Angelina Crow VS. Steve Holmes, Erik
Everhard
Anal,
stockings, DP, A2M, gapes, Facial
Steve and Erik are having a pleasant stroll
through a park in Budapest when they come across Angelina. A cigarette
lighter in her stocking, Angelina looks like a really cheap hooker. Steve
is feeling generous and hands her a C-note. You know what happens next...
Commentary: Angelina has this cutesy look which I find very appealing. She's
like some magical wood nymph out of a fairy tale. She puts in a fine
performance here, smiling through most of the scene as she gets pummeled
into ecstasy. I think the camera was zooming around too much in this
scene. I have no problem with them- those quick zooms are sometimes
necessary to capture the good action when it occurs but I think cameramen
should be wary of the frequency of it. Used too often, it becomes
distracting and disorienting. Simply slowing down the movement can help
too. The scene highlight was the piledriver because the body positioning
was great- especially coupled with the stockings- and there were a whole
lot of excellent gapes here. Lots of gapes in this scene.
ENERGY: 4
OVERALL SCORE: 4.5

SCENE
3: Cathy VS. Erik Everhard
Vaginal,
Facial
Cathy is kneeling on the ground blindfolded and waiting for her
treat. Her vibrant lipstick shines against the pale light. Erik starts it
off with some POV bj action before the camera is handed off to the
cameraman for the fucking.
Commentary: The blindfold is hideous- it makes Cathy look like a
space alien. But even worse is her hair- with its busy and intricate curls
I can't help but draw an allusion to Medusa. She gives a great POV bj with
lips that glide up and down the cock in a very sensuous manner. When the
blindfold comes off I notice her fierce and catlike eyes. I think we hit
our first snag here with this scene: There was no connection between the
performers and Cathy comes off as mechanical and cookie-cutter to me. She
brings nothing new to the table and I found her performance rather boring
even despite a fair amount of energy. The tacky hair certainly didn't
help.
ENERGY: 3.75
OVERALL SCORE: 2.75

SCENE
4: Lara Stevens VS. Steve Holmes, Erik
Everhard, Robert Rosenberg
Anal,
DP, gapes, A2M, Facial
Lara is our sleeping beauty as she rests peacefully out on the
veranda. The guys spy her from inside and awaken Beauty not with a
Prince's kiss but by whapping their dicks against her forehead. Awww, how
romantic! The guys then take her inside for some raunchy 3 on 1
action.
Commentary: This scene is really underlit at times- a problem I
noticed in the other scenes as well but it's more pronounced here. Once
again the piledriver position delivers and we get a couple of very large
gapes here. I would've liked an aerial DP in this scene since it always
films so damn well. Also, Lara's moans get kind of monotonous, but still
it's a pretty good scene overall.
ENERGY: 4
OVERALL SCORE: 3.75

SCENE
5: Melissa Lauren VS. Michael Stefano,
John Strong
Anal,
stockings, DP, A2M, gapes, Facial, swallow
Melissa admits she's "up to her little mischief" today
and we follow her as she walks around the house in search of her boytoys.
She catches them in the kitchen and we get some long drawn out banter
before she goes for the cocks.
Commentary: I
really hated Melissa's outfit. It's definitely more Halloween outfit than
sexy. Lose the YMCA Leatherman hat and the clashing pink frill skirt and
we may have something. I think the setup was pretty pointless, it belongs
more in the behind-the-scenes because there was no eroticism involved in
it, just Melissa and the guys joking around. It maybe would've worked
better if the skirt was off when we followed her around- that way we could
at least see some ass. Melissa gags herself hard on the dicks like she's
trying to kill herself and we get some nice sloppy spit drooling all over
the place. There's this one part that I really liked where Michael slaps
her tits really hard and then proceeds to clamp his teeth down on her
nipple. As he steadily applies pressure, Melissa lets out a nice reaction.
She puts in a lusty performance here, submissive as always to the guys.
She certainly takes a lot of abuse, her throat fucked raw. A solid scene.
ENERGY: 4.25
OVERALL SCORE: 4.5

Photo Gallery, Behind-the-Scenes
(19:00), Cumshot Loop, Bonus Scene with Veronica (2.5)
The
outfits and lighting definitely need a lot of work. The camerawork is adequate
but has much room left for improvement. The Extras are okay but definitely don't
warrant a second 'special collectors edition' disk. Still, this is a great movie
because of its hot, raunchy sex and the anomaly that is the Penny Flame scene.
This scene sizzles, completely breaking the mold on what we've come to expect in
porn. It's a fresh, shining star among everything else that is same ol',
same ol'.
There's an average scene by Cathy but this is easily overpowered by three other
relatively strong scenes. And the Penny scene is icing on the cake. Recommended!
