Initial Expectations: After watching a few other Union Jaxxx titles, my only hope is that I can have the strength to not use the fast forward button. I wouldn’t put money on it.

Initial Reaction: It’s the best movie I’ve seen from Union Jaxxx, but is still far from perfect.

Who Should Watch It : Anybody wanting to watch people they haven’t seen much before

Who Should Avoid It: Anybody wanting a lot of nastier sex

Audio /Video Quality: The audio has a few minor background and balance problems, but there aren’t many of them. The video is much better, and barely even has any grain. It’s also well lit and has very few shadows.

Music: The music is mostly your typical porno music, and at it’s loudest it’s nicely balanced with the rest of the audio.

Menus: The menus leave more than a little to be desired. The main menu is unanimated, plain, and looks like it might have been done in five minutes with something like Photoshop. The chapter menu lets you choose a scene based on a still of each scene and a title for it. The menus give anything but a good first impression.

The Feature: Not surprisingly, Writer 2 is a collection of vignette stories. They’re led into by scenes of a writer (who I suspect is Pete Le’Meat) at a typewriter, and each scene also lets you know the title for the story as it starts.

The first story is Lesbian Art Lessons, and features art student Karla St. James (who I think is listed here as Carla Upson) and teacher Taylor J. (I think) with model Cathy Barry. The teacher things the student needs to get closer to her subject, and brings her up to closely examine Cathy. After Cathy has hands run across all her body, the girls head over to a couch where they line up and work each other over with tongues and fingers, as well as a few toys. They mix things up nicely, working in lines, one giving to the others, and teaming up on Cathy to DP her, as well as coupling up while one sits out and masturbates. Despite mixing things up nicely, the scene still drags, which I think is due to the editing and camera work. Unlike many of the other Union Jaxxx titles I’ve seen, the camera actually gave more than a few distance shots so you could see the girls enjoying both giving and receiving. Unfortunately, it also had plenty of shots that made me wonder if somebody was watching what they were filming, such as close-ups on a girl’s stomach. It ends up as a pretty average scene.

In Stag Night Gang Bang, Brandy, a cute brunette with a few highlights, takes on a stag party of four guys. She starts out dancing for the groom to be, starting out dancing in front of him and then giving him a bit of a lap dance. Things progress to the next level, since this wouldn’t make much of a porno scene if it didn’t, and the guys get into the act a bit as Brandy slides down to suck him. Brandy mixes up plenty of oral action with the rest of the guys with a little fucking and a DP before letting the half of the guys who can manage a cumshot pop on her. Brandy does a great job and the talent seems to be into it, but whoever’s behind the camera doesn’t seem to have much of a clue as to how to capture it. You either have the action off-screen so you get to see somebody’s stomach and nipples, or you get close-ups that get you so far in that you’re afraid of getting their juices on you.

Porno Fantasy Fuck finds an average looking brunette transported into the threesome she was watching involving Frazer (I’m pretty sure on this i.d.) and two other girls. She’s warmly welcomed and invited to join in, which she does. The four of them nicely rotate among themselves while normally staying in couples, and even work a bit of anal action in for one of the girls. Finally, the three girls team up to lick and suck Frazer, as well as letting him have one last poke, until he pops on their faces. It’s a surprisingly hot scene with great chemistry. It’s obvious that all four people here are having a great time, and it helps this scene becomes one of the best in the feature. It still has a few camera problems, but it’s much better than normal.

Natalie Jones and Gary Long view a piece of property with agent Vicky Bowyer in Hot Property. Natalie checks out Vickie throughout the walkthrough, and then gets busy with Gary when Vicky leaves them to go to the bathroom and masturbate (not that she told them that was what she was heading there for). As soon as Natalie sees Vickie watching them, she invites her to join them and lets Vickie tongue her twat. The three of them continue to work each other over orally before Gary fucks Natalie. Surprisingly, he doesn’t fuck Vickie, and just lets the girls play as he fucks Natalie. They finish things up with Gary decorating Natalie’s chest and the girls kissing. There’s some nice chemistry between Natalie, Vickie, and Gary, but it isn’t enough to save the scene from the pacing of the scene and camera work. It seems to take forever to get to the fucking, and when you do the camera gets so close that I often felt like I was missing out on a lot of the action.

Finally, Kinky Coppers puts a blonde cop with her dark haired male partner. As usual they start out trading oral favors before getting on with the fucking, and they even mix in a little oral action there. They also mix up in a little anal sex before giving things the facial finish. This scene didn’t do much for me, and seemed like a return to the scenes I’d expected to find here. The camera work hides much of the action, and the girl didn’t seem that attractive to me.

Writer 2: Tales of Erotic is the best feature I’ve seen from Union Jaxxx, but still has more than its fair share of faults. Sadly, the scene with Cathy Barry and the final scene are the weakest, but every scene between them is fun to watch. Most of the cast appears to really be into it, and helps the scenes get beyond the camera work and editing that’s held back every other Union Jaxxx title I’ve seen so far. Natalie Jones and Brandy are the most impressive girls in the feature, but the girl who takes it in the keister in the third scene is also very impressive. Writer 2: Tales of Erotic is a pretty good fuck flick that’s enjoyable despite its problems.

Extras: None.

Themes: Straight, lesbian, group, toys, DP, anal, masturbation, and voyeurism

Raincoat Factor: High

Condom Usage: None

Overall: Currently most Union Jaxxx titles can be found online for between $15 and $20. If you’re going to check out a Union Jaxxx title, this is the one to check out. There’s some nice chemistry that helps it get past the editing problems and camera work. The technical aspects are also impressive, although there isn’t a single extra.

Note to Union Jaxxx: You’ve got a good start with your performers here. Now please learn a bit about film making.
