Review brief: Mamacitas 6 Video Team D: Dee. Yazmene Milan, Estella Leon, Fire, Olivia O'Lovely, Victoria Sweet, Billy Glide, Kris Knight, Lee Stone, Mandingo, Marco Duato, Mark Wood and Talon. 90 Min. Extras: Behind The Scenes, Trailers, Still Gallery. Since Van Styles parted ways with Christian Mann's Video Team for the greener pastures of Larry Flynt's Hustler the powers-that-be have deemed that his Mamacitas line continue, but now with the legendary latina herself, Dee at the helm. While her visual style is decidedly different from Styles' (Dee shoots this in HD through silk screens and all of her lavish locations are bathed in darkness, reminding me very much of yet another former VT director, David Aaron Clark minus the artsy editing and camera tricks) it is nonetheless interesting to watch due to its focus on the more erotic elements of intercourse and not just harshly lit hardcore sex.

Review brief: Crazy For Daisy 2005, 1 hours and 56 minutes Video Team Directed by Various Starring Daisy, Kenya, Kimmy Kahn, Simone Daisy, a slim 54, barely 100 lbs Mexican/Filipino East LA hellraiser always had an idea of what she wanted to do with her life and what she wanted to be. In 2002, at just 18 years old she entered the adult entertainment industry through her then-agent Wesley Pipes. After a number of impressive outings and her popularity growing rapidly in an era of other waifish and rail-thin barely legal superstars (Aurora Snow, Gauge, Jenna Haze, Taylor Rain, etc.), Christian Manns Video Team signed Daisy to an exclusive one-year contract in May of 2003. Back after an eight month hiatus in which she attended cosmetology school, Daisy now 21, is as fresh as her namesake and ready to ease back into the world she left behind. Almost immediately Cherry Boxxx Pictures signed her to a non-exclusive six picture deal, Anarchy released the interactive Playing With Daisy and shes readying herself for her feature dancing debut.

Review brief: Azz Fest #5 2004, 3 hours Video Team Directed by Van Styles Starring Katja Kassin, Mary Jane, Angel Eyes, Katrina Kraven, Lauren Phoenix, Olivia OLovely The Knowledge: [ /image ] --> On this election day, November 2nd 2004, I have done my homework. I wouldnt want to cast an uneducated vote because that is much more dangerous than an informed one, Im sure I dont have to tell you. So Ive studied the facts, Ive closely scrutinized both candidates and Ive analyzed both of their platforms. Ive listened to their speeches, heard their philosophies and weighed how they jive with my own. Finally, Im pround to say, Ive made my choice. And Ive cast my ballot for who I believe to be the best man. What I dont understand are swing voters. Who, at this point in the race, can still be undecided? The two people running are nearly exact opposites of one another and really share no similarities to be torn on or conflicted about. So, America, I think its time to decide.

Dick? Man, only in a show provided by the outspoken and decidedly dark David Aaron Clark. After convincing me his gothic and disturbing days were behind him with K-Pop and AZN Super Idols, we get a return to the DAC we all know and love with Asia Noir 4. This is actually the first time Ive taken in an installment of this series so if theres any backstory, Im completely lost. In fact, Im lost anyway so lets just move on to The Action: [ /image ] --> Luci Thai Words always fail me when attempting to describe the scenes in Asia Noir and believe me, that is no small feat.

Review brief: Mamacitas 5 **** 2004, 2 hours and 5 minutes Video Team Directed by Van Styles Starring Avy Lee Roth, Mary Jane, Kat, Domino, Nadia Styles, Mark Wood, Brian Surewood, Kurt Lockwood The Knowledge: When I first laid eyes on the cast list for this movie I was presented with a lot of names I didnt immediately recognize, so in all honesty, I wasnt really up for it when it came time to watch this movie. I thought for sure with so many ladies I had no previous interest in, it would sadden me to see that Van had finally turned in a ho-hum effort and Id have to reluctantly report to all you porn consumers out there that Styles had begun to slip. Im happy to say I couldnt have been more wrong. Talk about your pleasant surprises! While this was my first look at nearly all five of these ladies, every scene made me a fan of them respectively when they were over. Id gladly pick up anything else they each appear in. You, friend, may find yourself in the same position I was in when I popped this into my DVD player, initially not knowing any of these names.

Review brief: AZN Super Idols Vol. 1 *** 2004, 2 hours and 45 minutes Video Team and Serious Mirror Productions Directed by David Aaron Clark Starring Lucy Lee, Annie Cruz, Kylie Rey, Kammy, Luci Thai The Knowledge: I happen to know that what follows is a very personal project for David Aaron Clark. The recent HIV crisis struck what he felt was way too close to home for him and it changed his perspective on a lot of things concerning his chosen vocation. I can only imagine what it must feel like to be in his shoes, to literally hold so many peoples lives in your hands on a regular basis and ask them to do the things they do. This is certainly not the job nor the time to have a sudden epiphany or crisis of conscience in the adult industry. But thats exactly what happened and what makes David Aaron Clark such an anomaly in his field. Simply put, DAC cares. He gives a fuck, to put it bluntly.

Without a doubt, Video Teams Azz Fest and Elegant Angels Big Wet Asses are currently the best ass worship series on the market not actually named Ass Worship. Like Zupkos BWA, Styles continues to surprise us with each release, lining up virtual dream teams of ladies we want to see in a seemingly non-stop all-star procession of top talent. Every time a cast list is released, you want to fall over saying to yourself, I cant WAIT to see this. This outing is no exception.

Review brief: Mamacitas 4 **** 2004, 2 hours and 10 minutes Video Team Directed by Van Styles Starring Lena Juliette, Sativa Rose, Chanel Chavez, Lyric, Cherokee, Brett Rockman, Brian Surewood, Kurt Lockwood, Mr. Pete The Knowledge: A man after my own heart, Van Styles is. He likes asses, I like asses. I like latinas (so much I married one) and he likes latinas. Its a no-brainer, after being such a fan of his work, that I check out his take on Hispanic hussies in this latest installment of Video Teams Mamacitas line. You can tell right from the opening credits that this one is going to be a winner. When the clips of the action before the movie even starts is enough to wack off to, you know youre gonna be in trouble for the rest of the movie. This collection of around-the-way LA fillets is almost enough to make me consider moving to the Left Coast. Almost. I hate the Lakers way too much for that. Besides, I like to bundle up in the winter, break out the big leather bomber and skull cap; I need a visible change in seasons.

Review brief: Crema Latina **** 2004, 2 hours and 5 minutes Video Team Directed by Van Styles Starring Daisy, Sativa Rose, Chanel Chavez, Rossana De La Vega The Knowledge: Cream pies. Whats the fascination, people? I think its the taboo, its something different appeal that makes it so darned popular. In porn, were so used to seeing broads get it on their ass, chest or face weve forgotten that in real life, we almost never see a male orgasm because more often than not, it takes place inside the female. But in porn, we werent usually afforded the luxury of seeing such things unless it was faked. Who would want to risk pregnancy in non-condom porn and have a child by a complete stranger just to simulate something youd do in reality? Porn is about the fantasy, right? Well, like the times, fantasies change. Now fans want to see porn stars take that risk and at the same time come closer to their own reality by taking shots of semen straight up their birth canal and then to provide the proof, let it all run back out for us to see. What sane man wants to see this? Apparently, plenty.

Review brief: Banana Cream Pie 3 *** 2004, 2 hours and 40 minutes Video Team Directed by David Aaron Clark Starring Kylie Rey, Mika Tan, Maia Ginger, Heidi Ho The Knowledge: The more I find out about David Aaron Clark the more I find we are very much alike. Besides being a more worldly and better writer than myself, DACs an intelligent, outspoken man who has been known to ruffle more than a few feathers because he rarely bites his tongue, saying whatever is on his mind at any given moment regardless of the subject. Often his views and stances are controversial but he says what he thinks is right (and I often agree) regardless of how politically incorrect it may be. Clark says the things you wish you could say but dont because youre too chickenshit or mindful of other peoples feelings. (i.e. his recent comments in his online journal concerning the moratorium, the HIV scare and fans and companies attitudes about it) In those comments he related that this would be the last Banana Cream Pie movie.

Review brief: Azz Fest 3 ***½ 2004, 2 hours and 30 minutes Video Team Directed by Van Styles Starring Dana Vespoli, Catalina, Melanie Jagger, Kayla Marie, Adora The Knowledge: Its no secret Ive been enamored with Styles' Azz Fest series thus far. When I heard that Melanie Jagger, Dana Vespoli, Catalina and Kayla Marie were lined up for the latest, you couldve knocked me over with a feather. He did it again, I said to myself. But did he? Can Van even hope to match the heights he achieved with the near-flawless previous two editions? You might be surprised at what Van Styles and Azz Fests biggest supporter has to say. Read on: The Action: Dana Vespoli Recently retired and now living off of US soil is Manuel Ferraras new paramour, Dana Vespoli, who also has the honor of being the lead -off hitter in this fantastic third installment. Danas strutting her stuff poolside, into a house and upstairs to a bedroom. Watching Van Styles follow her with his camera trained steadily on her marvelous ass makes me miss her all the more.

Review brief: Banana Cream Pie #2 ** * * ½ 2003, 2 hours and 10 minutes Video Team Directed by David Aaron Clark Starring Roxy Jezel, Luci Thai, Loni, Maja Lee, Kylie Rey and Ava Devine The Knowledge: Truth be told, Im not too familiar with David Aaron Clark or his past work. Im not fond of internal cumshots (or creampies as theyre affectionately called) even if they are one of the hot new fetishes of the moment. Funny that something I find so unappealing be named for something edible. Im an old-fashioned facial man myself. I wanna see the spunk on their grill, not inside. I wouldnt even consider myself a hardcore fan of asian performers, even if there are more than a few I genuinely love. But looking at this boxcover in my hands, I feel as though I should give all of these previously mentioned things a shot. Ive heard and read good things about Clark. Im a fan of nearly every female in this cast which makes me willing to overlook the theme of the video.

Review brief: Azz Fest #2 ***** A Van Styles Production in association with Video Team 2004, 2 hours and 25 minutes minutes Directed by Van Styles Starring Lauren Phoenix, Ayana Angel, Bella-Marie Wolfe, Serena South, Fire and Ice La Fox Synopsis: How do you top the first installment of Azz Fest which, barring a few missteps, was damn-near flawless? I dont know how, folks but rest assured, its been done. Styles has trimmed the fat and pared down his male cast to the bare essentials, using only three guys (Kurt Lockwood, Brian Surewood and Brett Rockman) while his female cast is, with all respect to the women of the first, even better than the original. While Styles went with a ton of givens in his first outing, here he breaks convention and perhaps popular opinion by including girls who we all know have asses worthy of adoration, but generally arent the very first people to come to mind when you think about butts.

Review brief: Azz Fest **** ½ From Video Team 2003, 2 hours and 20 minutes minutes Directed by Van Styles Starring Belladonna, Cherokee, Austin ORiley, Fiona Cheeks, Olivia OLovely Synopsis: Im convinced the US government has tampered with the nations water supply. I remember when white girls didnt have asses. Tired of that fact, being called nicknames like long back and the like, the old white powers-that-be finally decided to do something about it. Today, White Girl v.2.0 is officially coming off the assembly line with butts their predecessors only dreamed of. It can only be the water. After years of neglect, asses are finally en vogue and openly appreciated by all. Sure, in the late 90s Elegant Angel had their Buttwoman and Stagliano made butts his primary focus long before his Evil Angel took in Jules Jordan in the new millennium but for the most part for a long time, only the brothers really appreciated a big round badunkadunk.
