Directed by: Roy Karch
Review brief: Rawditions is a decent stroke film featuring relatively new girls and good, hard sex. The rookies are interviewed at the beginning of each scene, then jump into action eagerly. What makes this different is that the neophytes sex partner does the interview. So, in the case of leadoff hitter Madeline Marks, shes interviewed by Evan Stone. The sex is, as expected, better than the q&a session. Theres pretty good chemistry here, and Stone drops a load of little Evans on Madelines sweet face to end things. Blonde Samantha Steele and Billy Glide are next. Samantha may not be the cutest girl around, but shes a spitfire in bed and accepts his face splattering with a smile. Director Roy Karch puts in a twist at this point, bringing in a first-timer guy, Jack Frost. Hes a good-looking kid. His partner is older (but well-preserved) Nicki Hunter. She wants him so bad she cuts the interview short, then jumps his bones.

Review brief: Casual Sex is an Adam & Eve couples feature starring Shayla LaVeaux as a writer working on a piece about quickie affairs people have experienced in their lives. There are five vignettes, each preceded by a short setup. The sex in this flick is not for raincoaters. Its soft, with suitably low-key music, lighting and sets. Erika Kole takes it up the ass in the opening scene (with Seth Dickens) but thats about as extreme as it gets. In addition to Koles romp, which ends with a facial, theres a girl/girl between Sharon Wild and Shayla (that includes some toys); and three 1-on-1s - Luccia and Billy Glyde; Holly Wellin and Kurt Lockwood; and Shayla and Tony Tedeschi (in a very dark bedroom) - all of which end in face splatterings. This is pretty good stuff, if you like your sex titillating but not abusive. The DVD extras include a 22-minute Behind the Scenes, a Photo Gallery, Trailers, Website info, and two Bonus Scenes - Jane Darling and Angel Dark from Pussy Worship and Cytherea and Steven St.

Review brief: All About Anal #3 is not the type of porno you want to share with your little missus if she is the sensitive kind, one who enjoys romantic sex play. The antics in this flick are anything but romantic, and the girls take a pretty good amount of abuse from the guys. Each of the five scenes begins with a girl diddling herself with toys, both vaginally and anally. Soon a guy enters and immediately starts abusing the girl, in a couple instances by jamming his cock in her ass with no warm-up. When the girls suck cock, there is throat gagging aplenty. During the sex theres plenty of gaping, A2M, slapping, choking, and tossing the girls into new positions. Its not pretty. The girls, to their credit, remain semi-enthusiastic despite the mistreatment. These are B-Listers, at best, and maybe they dont get many chances to do quality porn. Whatever, they do, for the most part, appear not to mind the abuse.

Review brief: All About Anal #2 is a disappointing effort from a director, Roy Karch, I usually admire. This flick employs girls best described as B Listers, and the guys spend the entire 105 minutes abusing them ad nauseum. Each scene starts with the girls teasing and diddling themselves with toys. The guys proceed to throat gag them, fuck them hard and rough, overusing the anal (no vaginal fucking), gaping, A2M, and facials that all women enjoy NOT!!! Im still waiting for an explanation as to why some people find continuous gaping and A2M erotic and sexy. To me, having the guy insert his cock into a girls butt, stroke 3-4 times, then pull out to show the crater hes created in her, then re-insert for a few strokes, then pull out to have the girl suck his cockwell, it just ruins the continuity of the action and destroys any heat. We have three brunettes (Kelly Wells, Vanessa, and Chanel Chavez), a blonde (Kat), and a redhead (Little Jasmin), and all the scenes are interchangeable. The action (or lack thereof) is the same in each scene.

Directed by: Roy Karch
Review brief: Beverly Hills Party Girls starts off slow, builds a little heat, and then lets us down very easily. This Sex Z production by director Roy Karch is most definitely couples porn. The setting is a huge house (supposedly in Beverly Hills) where a party is being held. The girls at the party are all hookers. The guys are, I think, all in the movie business. The conversations among the people are inane and, thankfully, limited. Nikki Hunter and Shannon Adams start the action in a bedroom with Cheyne Collins watching. The action is something less than steaming here, but Cheyne seems to be enjoying the show, which includes the use of some toys. Vanessa Lane and Seth Dickens are next. This is a very good scene with real chemistry between the two. They romp for almost 15 minutes before Vanessa accepts a face frosting. Redhead hottie Pason gives Jim Beem a blowjob out near the pool. There is no visible cumshot. Steve Hatcher joins the action after Jim leaves and, again, Pason is on her knees. He returns the favor and eats her for awhile, then Pason starts sucking him off again.

Review brief: Seven Year Itch had a chance to be a very good porn flick. Instead, thanks to some overly-ambitious camera angles and poor editing, it ends up being just middle of the road. Director Roy Karch apparently feels he might just win an Oscar if he continues using distracting, unflattering camera shots during the action. Case in point, fiery redhead Pason is giving a great blowjob to Steve Hatcher in the fourth scene. But Karch shoots the action through a beveled window, distracting this viewer completely. Earlier, brunette Felix Vicious is romping heatedly with Jack Spade on a couch. Karch elects to show much of the action through the bottom of a nearby mirrored table. This kind of cinematography adds nothing to the eroticism of the scenes. Theres actually a storyline in this feature, though its quite lame and worthy of FFing. Strangely, Karch chooses to close the show with a lezout (Mika Tan and Katie Morgan), not the usual climatic boy/girl action. That left me less than breathless.

Directed by: Roy Karch
Review brief: Mrs. Jones is a Roy Karch production, which basically means Raincoaters, stay away. This is your basic couples flick, and a pretty decent one at that. The story opens with a dinner party at Shayla LaVeauxs home. There is no dialogue, just a bunch of people moving their mouths. Finally, blond cutie Joelean takes Joel Lawrence off to the music room where they do unspeakable things on a piano bench. Joelean has one of most trim bodies in porn, as evidenced by her RC. Joel drops a load in her mouth and she gives terrific cleanup to end a good scene. Shayla owns a nightclub, and she goes there after her guests leave. This takes about 5 minutes, as she is shown driving, parking, going up a slow elevator, etc. Boring! She talks briefly to bartender Steve Hatcher (who sounds like a moron) before she goes to her office to put some money in the safe. When she returns she starts flirting with the only customer in the joint (must not have been much of a deposit), Nick Manning. They end up going home together and having a torrid affair.

Directed by: Roy Karch
Review brief: Deconstructing Ava is a slick couples flick from director Roy Karch. The sex is pretty good, captured well for the most part (more below on that), and there is an appealing lack of acting needed. The female talent ranges from attractive to very cute. The plot involves a high-end gentlemens strip club and its customers. In a weird twist, Ava Vincent plays ALL the employees at the club a stripper, a ticket seller, a ticket taker, etc. Cute brunette Keiko takes on her date, Tony Tedeschi, on a couch in a private room in the opening scene. Theres some anal pounding and a creampie finish. Cherokee is a pudgy brunette who dallies with Steve Hatcher in a theater within the club. Its uneventful, predictable sex that ends in a facial. The club supplies a fetish room for pervs, and this time its a jail cell, where Cheyne Collins plays with blond Lauren Phoenix. Again, not a lot of steam here before Collins drops a load on her pubes. Cute blond Joelean plays a dominated woman to Barrett Blades.

Review brief: Star Struck is a pretty good couples film filled with erotic sex and a decent storyline. Brooke Alexander is a fan of porn star/director Randy Spears. Fan is too soft a word; obsessed is more like it, with her walls covered by his photos. In an effort to meet her idol, she pretends to be a journalist requesting an interview. She arrives at the set of one of his features. Blonde Olivia Saint and Steve Hatcher are running through their first scene. Theyre out by a pool and its a warm day. Olivia looks great in a red sundress. Before long, the couple is going at it frantically on a lounge chair. Steve fucks Olivia vag and anal and cums on her face. Brooke starts talking to Randys assistant, brown-haired beauty Venus, and before long theyre in a bedroom making out. This is a pretty good lezout, and the girls seem hot for each other, as well as the toys they play with. The next scene Randy shoots has Chris Cannon jumping cute Asian Mia Smiles bones. There is nice chemistry between the two and they screw in several positions.

Review brief: Trade Secrets shouldnt stay a secret for long. This is a pretty decent fuck film with above-average talent, very little dialogue (always a plus), and good, hard sex. This Sex Z production from director Roy Karch features Felix Vicious, Alana Evans, Olivia Saint, Kim Chambers, and Rose, all of whom give spirited-to-hot performances. Kim is the owner/operator of a gentlemans club and the others work for her in some capacity dancer, bartender, etc. The camerawork throughout this feature is terrific, the lighting good enough to see the action without the use of a flashlight. The music is a bit loud for my old ears, but the sex is captivating enough to allow one to ignore the tunes.

Directed by: Roy Karch
Review brief: Quality Time is a quality couples flick featuring a decent cast, very little dialogue, and pretty good sex. Roy Karch directed this Adam & Eve, 80-minute feature. The script was probably a two-pager, which is always a welcome restraint on the part of the moviemakers. They let the performers do what they do best suck and fuck each other. There is also an absence of the customary lesbian scene. What is not missing is the agonizing action I call the old in-out. This overly used trend in porn drives me crazy. It occurs when the male pulls his cock out of the girls orifice (ass, pussy, or mouth) over and over again, as if admiring his Viagra-induced hardon or perhaps as a means of torturing the girl. The in-out is not fucking, IMHO; it is a circus act that has become an unfortunate staple in smut today. It is not sexy! End of rant.... The story revolves around loving couple Ava Vincent and Randy Spears. After serving their dinner, their new maid/cook Velvet Rose sneaks her boyfriend, Mickey G., into the kitchen where they go at it in a semi-hot scene.
