To the Core Review

Reviewed by bono-ONE  on  5/24/2014

Greetings porn fans. I have the first dvd directed by Bonnie Rotten who stars in a couple of the scenes as well. This will be a stylized BDSM title going by what's printed on the back cover and I'd have to say it seemed that way. Granted my exposure to BDSM has been very limited but I do know Aiden Starr is a great person to have in your title if you're shooting one and Bonnie has wisely enlisted Miss Stars expertise for this show. There are several strong nods to this art form such as floggers, pins, chains, and ropes. The execution for each scene varies to some degree with the scene featuring Aiden being the closest I think to what a super hard core BDSM scene would be. Bonnie takes the lead in a couple of scenes and she can talk the talk for sure but I didn't think she got quite as serious in her tone as Aiden was in her scene. The other scene featured Skin Diamond in the role of Dom and she also had on by far the coolest outfit chosen for this title. So you know about Skin, Bonnie and Aiden let's meet the other girls and get into a little bit about what each scene held in terms of BDSM content as well as g/g because each scene features just ladies.

Bonnie Rotten & Alina Li:

We begin this show with the cute as a button Alina walking down the street wearing her school girl finest and next to Skin this was probably the hottest outfit worn. She is going to see Bonnie at the behest of her daddy so she can toughen up. Bonnie tries to set the tone early with Alina who was playing tough but that act was soon shown the door as we find out who's in charge here. You get plenty of BDSM in this scene with Bonnie making sure Alina's ass is red by the end. You also have some nipple suction done which I'm sure made Alina's sensitive nipples even more so. There was a flogger used and there were some clothespins as well placed around Alina's pussy. If I had a problem with this scene it was the lack of g/g action I'd want to see and I know it's a BDSM title but to not really have any pussy licking in the scene was missed by me. A little breast kissing but not a whole lot and we had not a whole lot done from Alina to Bonnie. There is some squirting done by Miss Rotten and if you've seen her in action you know what that entails. A big surprise here was Alina squirting. In the toy dept you also had a good shot with the two using a double ended dildo which led to Bonnie blasting off. It was great to see the two together and I would hope they'd work together again doing a more traditional style g/g where we got more kissing, breast play and especially pussy licking. Bonnie is great too giving directions to Alina throughout the scene but it seemed more like a tongue in cheek way rather than the more direct and forceful manner we will see later on from Aiden Starr. Another highlight to look for in this scene was the ice cube play Bonnie led when Alina was being kept in a cage-- shoving the cubes in her mouth then having Alina spit them out, then put them back in. Wet and fun!

Aiden Starr & Ashlynn Malloy:

The next scene features Aiden and I've seen her in a couple scenes where she has to be a bad ass so I know she will bring it and the only mystery will be if Ashlynn can handle it. The scene begins with a shot of Ashlynn and we see she is in a bit of a bad state, homeless and all. The tide changes for her when she wakes up and is wearing not much in Aiden's little dungeon. Miss Starr as I suspected takes charge right out of the gate and there is no mistaking who's the lead girl here. Aiden lays in with the dirty talk along with checking out every inch of Miss Malloys body. You had a short session but vital I think of Aiden pushing her whole hand repeatedly into Ashlynn's mouth and this led to more adventurous playing. Another flogger is utilized and this turns that ass red. One thing this scene had was more oral sex worked in and you even get a shot of Aiden on top and Ashlynnn underneath licking some ass! Now I love that in my g/g festivities. Ashlynn is also put into a cage and there is some strap on action too from Aiden to Ashlynn. All in all a strong scene and the other two will be hard pressed to match the intensity.

Skin Diamond & Alison Faye:

This next scene is at night as we come upon Alison out for a stroll when up from behind Skin pounces placing a bag of Alison's head and taking her away. Once they arrive at the destination Skin removes the bag and Alison recognizes that it is Skin who took her so the two know one another. Skin undergoes a wardrobe change and I thought it looked like a Ringmaster's outfit in a way devoid of the red color you might associate with it but the general look complete with a short tail coming off the back end of it and she wore a top hat and completed the look with a fake mustache that should have you thinking of the Big Top Circus leaders. You get a little rope play in this from Skin to Alison but there was also a little wand used by Miss Diamond that gave off an electrical charge when placed in contact with the skin and she lets that linger over Alison's breast and stomach area. Some ass play too from Skin using the flogger. There was also a speculum used to spread open Alison's pussy at one point. Good to see more oral in this scene with Alison doing a good job tasting Miss Diamond's cookie. The shots of Skin's ass/ pussy over Alison's face were super hot. Strap on action as well with Skin having Alison suck it after the pounding. This was another good scene with the notable outfit from Skin also sticking out for me.

Bonnie Rotten & Zoey Nixxon:

The conclusion to this title brings Bonnie back in front of the camera. As you might expect Bonnie is leading the action in this finale with Zoey in the submissive role. A little smokey in the intro and when that clears we have the two girls. Bonnie leads Zoey to a big device that looks like a spider web though there is no web and instead chains which Zoey is tied too allowing Bonnie to have her way. When Zoey is naked we find a nice natural set of breasts and a bald pussy which you know Bonnie will have fun with. This time Bonnie does indulge in the oral arts tasting Miss Nixxon while she is in the bound state. There were cloths pins also used on those pretty boobs. Another big highlight in this scene was Bonnie using several candles dripping their hot wax on Zoey's body especially around her tits. Zoey seemed to like having this sensation and you had Bonnie peeling the wax off too which itself was an interesting shot. Zoey gets to do some anal toy play to Bonnie towards the end of the scene and you had some use of Mr. Hitachi as well.

Extras & Final Thoughts:

So there ends the first directing gig for Miss Bonnie Rotten and I can't say her first choice surprised me to much. I was sad to see the lack of oral in the first scene but the other three did make up for that in large part. I also know this is a BDSM themed show and most likely Bonnie was leaning more towards giving more of that in the scenes and losing some of the g/g action that might turn off the core audience this title is intended for. I can't say for sure since the whole BDSM scene is largely foreign to me in its appeal sex wise. I did get the sense watching that both the dom girls and the submissive girls were into what they were doing and enjoyed themselves on each end of the spectrum. I'd be curious to see Bonnie do a g/g show that went to the other end of the extreme with more sensual passion and less hard edged action which again might turn off some of her hard core fans but on the flip side could win her some new fans on that end. I for one would love to see her do it as she is very passionate in the scenes I've watched so far and naturally I want to see her with more girls too! I also feel strongly she'll go for some b/g content as well having shot enough scenes she knows that side as well. Stay tuned as I'm sure whatever Bonnie puts out next will be interesting in more than one area. As for extras this show offers up three BTS segments and they are detailed too giving great insight into how this production was put together from Bonnie offering ideas to others who had a hand in shooting this like Alex Ladd who is featured prominently in the BTS clips. A solid debut in a genre I think she feels very comfortable doing and now let's see what Bonnie feels like trying next.
