T&A Buffet (2006)
Starring Velicity Von, Jamie Elle, Ginger Lee, Isabel Ice
Platinum X

More of a trough explosion than a buffet per se, this is more of the usual hands-all-over Creep Sex, filled with gaping assholes and spitting and a tinge of lipstick B&D, as well as the always-disturbing presence of Asian mini-starlet Kitty and her twelve-year-old-boy’s body. Yeesh. At least the other girls are ravenous. Pillowy Velicity Von and degenerate Brit Isabel Ice play with ball gags and blindfolds before submitting their pussies and asses to Ben Brat’s desperate fingers and cock. And Jamie Elle is lured into pirate freak Brian Surewood’s palatial home (by his imitation of a barking dog, of all things) before turning her loose to his pals, a snapping, thrusting contingent of faceless dicks who DP her senseless before squeezing off round after round into her tiny mouth. Your smut is on the splattery side, you say? Dig in, then. Extras include a cumshot recap and the obligatory behind-the-scenes featurette, which offers us an explicit look at just how faulty Jamie Elle’s gag reflex can be, and the sight of a raccoon-eyed Velicity Von apologizing for not bending her body to take Brat in some perverse Cirque du Soleil position. Velicity honey, you don’t owe anyone anything.

Succulent (1983)
Starring Kelly Nichols, Little Oral Annie, George Payne, Rhonda Jo Petty
Directed by Vincent Benedetti
Video-X-Pix 

This gleefully skeevy flesh fest opens with Kelly Nichols (The Toolbox Murders) enjoying gushy phone sex with her mustachioed lover and then takes a 360-degree U-turn into drive-in territory by locking her up in a Southern jail (located in the heart of suburban New York), complete with a crooked judge (R. Bolla), sadistic sheriff (George Payne, natch), bulldyke matron (Rhonda Jo Petty) and leering guard (Jerry Butler). Little Oral Annie falls afoul of this fearsome foursome as well, and after being forced to demonstrate her namesake talent on Bolla and spit-shining Rhonda Jo’s peroxided twat, she and Kelly are sold off (!) to Arab sheik Ron Jeremy (!!), who enjoys the full depths of Annie’s bottomless throat. The “it’s all a dream” conclusion is a groaner, to say the least, but Annie and Kelly take their ravaging like the slut-champs they are, as does Jennifer Noxt as a fellow con (unfortunately, she’s paired with super creep Josey Duvall), and the male talent play complete degenerates with convincing gusto. For those who remember Jackson County Jail as an erotic highlight of their childhood or get wet at the sight of a cop cruiser in their rear view mirror, Succulent is the scum fantasy they’ve been dreaming of. Video-X-Pix’s DVD includes trailers for All About Gloria Leonard, the equally succulent Deep Inside Little Oral Annie, and the stomach-churning short Box Balls (the title says it all).

Careful, He May Be Watching (1985)
Starring Seka, Mike Horner, Shanna McCullough, Kay Parker
Directed by Richard Pacheco (and Seka)
Video-X-Pix

The final feature film effort from the legendary Seka until her ill-fated return in 1993’s American Garter, Careful is a lightweight comedy by ‘70s porn stud-turned-writer/director Richard Pacheco that’s built on the gooniest of premises: airline pilot Mike Horner is unable to tell that his sweet-natured stay-at-home wife (Seka) is actually XXX superstar Molly Flame simply because she wears a red wig (and dyes her pubes).  But porn has been built on stupider ideas (the I Cream on Genie series, anyone?), and it’s forgivable since the sex is particularly hot, especially Seka’s early morning rise-and-fuck with Horner, and his shower bang with porcelain redhead Shanna McCullough. Fans of old-school Seka may be disappointed that the 1985 edition has traded in her Swedish Erotica look (scarves, garters, Dolly Parton bubble ‘do) for a sleeker build and a shorter, straighter cut, but the change hasn’t dampened her sex vibe one bit; if anything, she seems less like an ice princess and more like the prototype for every hormonally super-charged MILF that’s come down the pike in recent years.

Video-X-Pix’s DVD is a joint effort with Seka herself, who reportedly oversaw the disc’s production and provided a fistful of extras, including commentary on certain scenes, the trailer for her 1980 hit Inside Seka, a couple of talking-head style interviews about her career and co-stars (Ron Jeremy and John Holmes, in particular), and a few amateur clips of her recent adventures in hardcore, which have been featured on her web site (seka.com); suffice it to say that while Seka 2007 may have morphed into a grandmotherly, soft-sculpture version of her former self, she’s still hot to trot. I imagine that dads everywhere are silently rejoicing over that news.

The Contractor 2
Starring Carmen Luvana, Ava Rose, Audrey Bitoni
Directed by Andre Madness
Adam & Eve

Old-fashioned porn corn about a wealthy galoot (Rod Fontana) who hires Carmen Luvana’s all-girl construction crew to build his dream house. The usual hassles (safety codes, unions, etc.) attempt to bring the project to a halt, but thankfully, Carmen and the ladies are happy to fuck to a standstill every single male in their line of vision, so by the movie’s end, it’s all aces: Rod gets his house, the girls get their pay, and you, dear viewer, get your cookies more than once thanks to the ferocious fucking. It’s too bad that Carmen, who’s since departed the porn fold for what probably looks like greener pastures, isn’t afforded much on-screen sex time save for a third act bang-off with Tommy Gunn; she’s easily the most creamy-dreamy member of the cast, though Ava Rose and Audrey Bitoni (playing feuding cousins) are unquestionably luscious scoops of sexual caramel. Extras include trailers for other Adam and Eve titles, including Fetish Dolls and TILF (Teachers I’d Like to Fuck), as well as the obligatory goof of a behind-the-scenes, which is dominated by Fontana blowing his lines.

American Heroes
Starring Carmen Luvana, Kayla Paige, Katie Morgan, Holly Morgan
Directed by Daniel Dakota
Adam and Eve

In director Daniel Dakota’s world view, policemen, firemen, soldiers EMTs, and teachers – American Heroes, if you will – they don’t want praise or medals or a parade. They just wanna get laid, same as the rest of us. That does take them down a peg from the post-9/11 opinion of our civil guardians, but hey, this is porn, which is all about lowest common denominator. Carmen Luvana does her civic duty twice in this pic – she nearly burns down her fancy Hollywood after a bitch-out with her boyfriend, but thankfully, a strapping fireman (whose oily body sheen could be explained away as flame retardant) appears to quench her burning loins. Kayla Paige’s midnight TV viewing is interrupted by a masked intruder, who turns tail and runs at the sight of Jack Armstrong’s boy in blue; Kayla, of course, is so moved by his bravery that she sits on his face. Celina Cross is house sitting and brains herself after slipping on a wet floor, only to be revived by mouth-to-mouth (and dick-to-mouth) by an oversized Latino EMT.

Carmen’s near-death experience apparently motivated her to up and join the U.S. Army, which has assigned her to drill sergeant Katie Morgan’s, um, bedroom. There, D.I. Katie puts our girl through basic slut training, including a strenuous session with a strap-on. And finally, Tommy Gunn shows the compassion and dedication that every good teacher must have by giving some personal attention to wayward student Holly Morgan. That means he sticks his cock in her mouth.

I’m gonna give Dakota the benefit of the doubt and say that his intention with American Heroes was NOT to pay heartfelt tribute to our hardest working citizens and instead put a costume spin on the usual collection of five fuck scenes. At least, I hope that’s the case. If not, well, at least the fucking is stellar, Carmen continues to exude the purest lust like a hothouse flower, and the rest of the cast seem to be amused by the dress-up routine – at least, for the few seconds that they’re wearing clothes. Extras include the usual behind-the-scenes schmatter and a barrage of trailers for other Adam and Eve titles.

T.I.L.F. (Teachers I’d Like to Fuck)
Starring T.J. Hart, Kasey, Devon Lee, Veronica Rayne
Directed by Stony O’Neill
Adam and Eve

So, in a nutshell: older women blah blah blah hot teachers yeah yeah yeah fuck their students yadda yadda yadda. Unless this is the first porno you’ve ever rented or bought, there’s nothing here you haven’t seen before. But director Stony O’Neill gives all the fleshy gymnastics the proper amount of coverage, and to his credit, he’s rounded up a group of “older women” who actually appear to be above the age of 30 (though I didn’t, like, check their IDs or anything). All of ‘em have the vintage fuck vibe on full blaze, especially nastymouth sex witch Kayla Synz and big-eyed brunette Kasey (a.k.a. Diana Prince), who brings all of the dirty things you’ve thought about Jennifer Connelly to vivid life. Extras include the usual behind-the-scenes blather (“Hey, what’s your name? Can we see your ass?”), a dullsville bonus scene with “experienced” gal Angelica and James Deen, and trailers for The Temp, Double Trouble, and Candida Royalle’s artsy-fartsy Afrodite Superstar.

Big Dicks Bouncing Tits
Starring Natasha Nice, Chavon Taylor, Ryaan Reynolds, Whitney Stevens
Directed by Will Ryder
Bad Seed

If you’ve ever harbored a sexual fantasy about Rainbow Brite, Big Dicks Bouncing Tits is the XXX title for you. Each of the ladies on board this particular fuck train sports the most blinding shades of eye shadow and apparel (Caution Yellow, Anti-Freeze Blue, Transmission Fluid Green seem to be the primary colors), as well as an array of schoolgirl short skirts and multi-colored knee highs. If you don’t go for the H.R. Pufnstuf look, BDBT might induce a migraine, despite the presence of such buxotic beauties as jailbait superstars Natasha Nice and Kaylee Love Cox and multi-ethnic dime piece Ryaan Reynolds (all of whom, it should be noted, set their own tits to bouncing via some big dicks). But if Never-Never Land always sounded like your own personal Plato’s Retreat, you’ll undoubtedly be gushing rainbows over this one. Extras include the standard-issue behind-the-scenes yappery (the big joke is that no one, including director Will Ryder, seems to know what the movie’s title is), and trailers for Ryder’s Bubble Gum Cuties, From the Hood to the Hills, and Kylie Ireland’s Toy Boxes #2.

Sentenced (2007)
Starring Penny Flame, Brandon Iron, Mikayla, Dee
Directed by Andre Madness
Adam and Eve

That Penny Flame makes a convincing psychopath isn’t exactly a surprise – anyone who’s seen her spit and lather and leer her way through her onscreen estrus attacks already knew that she was totally out of her head. But what is surprising about Sentenced is the lame story that director Andre Madness gives Penny for her crazy showcase. Sure, it’s a basic knock-off of countless women-in-prison exploitation pictures – you’ve got your unscrupulous doctor (Herschel Savage), your predatory lesbian con (Dee), your sinister guard (Lee Stone), and your corrupt judge (Mike Horner), and lots of talk about how Penny’s never, ever, ever going to get out of the mental hospital in which she’s been locked up. But you know, it doesn’t take a lot of effort on Penny’s part to bust out of this hellhole – she eats out Dee to get on Stone’s good side, and after stealing a fistful of downers for him (she smuggles them out by stuffing them up her snatch), she gets handed over to Brandon Iron, who smuggles her out of the joint in a laundry truck (after he fucks her on the warden’s desk, that is). Cut to Penny, rolling her eyes and acting like 40 different kinds of nuts, as she runs into the Los Angeles night. The end? Yeah, pretty much.

Of course, I know that the point of Sentenced isn’t to provide a solid story – it’s just jerkoff material.  But if you’re going to ask Penny F. to go off her rocker for a solid hour-twenty, and shoot the whole thing in a creepy old hospital (or jail – dunno, but it’s convincing), you ought to up the stakes a LITTLE bit, no? Maybe? Well, no matter – the sex is hot, especially the Penny/Brandon showdown, as well as a recreational rutfest between Dr. Herschel and naughty nurse Mikayla on top of an examination table. Extras include a long interview with Penny about how much she enjoyed acting like a loon, behind-the-scenes stuff (yawn), and the usual fistful of trailers.

Refinements in Love (1971) DVD
Starring Liz Renay, Rene Bond, Ric Lutz, Lynn Holmes
Directed by Carlos Tobalina
Impulse Pictures

How crazy is Refinements in Love? The fucking title credits turn up 45 minutes into the movie, that’s how crazy. We’re also treated to the sights and sounds of a swarthy, pop-eyed “doctor” banging his patient because she can’t achieve orgasm with her spouse, a teenaged Rene Bond dousing herself in talcum powder before getting nailed by her much-older partner, and former mob moll-turned-never-was starlet Liz Renay (The Thrill Killers, Desperate Living) mouthing reams of nonsensical narration about freedom and modern culture. Ostensibly, it’s all in the name of expanding the sexual horizons of square, middle-class white folks circa ’71, but really, Refinements in Love is a truly bizarre chunk of “Golden Era” smut, bolstered a few ungainly attempts by director Carlos Tobalina to promote himself and take a potshot at the legal system. The weirdness comes not from the faux-documentary approach (one of the oldest saws in the exploitation biz), but from the structure of the film itself – not only do we get the “huh?” moment with the credits, but Tobalina (or his editor) jump from hardcore fucking to shots of cable cars in San Francisco to hula dancers performing outside Tobalina’s Mayan Theater in downtown L.A., and then back to more fucking. There’s no rhyme or reason to any of it (and yeah, I know, it’s just a porno, but even they have to obey basic editing rules), so watching Refinements in Love is akin to simultaneously experiencing recurring blackouts and a wet dream in the middle of a high school science filmstrip. You know, if such a thing was possible.

Yeah, yeah, you say, who cares about the structure? What about the chicks? Well, unless you’re a connoisseur of early ‘70s wank, much of the flesh on display here won’t seem very familiar to you. I sure as hell didn’t know half of them, save for the pre-boob job Rene, her meathead boyfriend Ric Lutze, and busty Lynne Holmes (she got it Deep Woods style from The Geek!), as well as a few semi-pros like Ron Darby. Miss Liz, of course, doesn’t perform any hardcore, but she’s easy on the eyes as well. Unfortunately, the sex is pretty chaste – we’re talking lots of one-position rutting, and no cum shots – and the pacing is glacial, to say the least. If you’re looking to have a Saturday night fling with a ‘70s porn title, you’ll find hotter fare in a hundred different movies. But if you’re looking for Odd – and lots of it – you’ll find that action from Refinements in Love.

Campus Girls (1973) DVD
Starring Tina Russell, Marc Stevens, Carol Dempsey
Directed by Richard D’Antoni
Video-X-Pix

“You sure know what to do with a cock!”

Shortly after graduating from college, Marc “10 ˝” Stevens drops some science on the pretty but empty head of Tina Russell about how much sex their former classmates were getting. This leads to a string of grainy-looking loops in which some fleshy and blown-out degenerates get their cookies in some of Los Angeles and San Francisco’s ugliest apartments and motel rooms. Now convinced that her alma mater were a pack of ravenous horn dogs, Tina bemoans the fact that she wasn’t getting laid during her years of higher education. Cue Marc’s colossal whangus, which drills her six ways to Sunday before depositing a load on her tummy. The end, class dismissed.

So, yeah… not much going on here, save for the late Ms. Russell, who enlivens her rap with 10 ˝ (seeming creepier and more fey here than usual) with a ditzy charm. The supporting cast fumbles and paws their way through their sex scenes with a greasy abandon, and offer kinks of all stripes to the undiscerning porn gourmand (threesome with anal, big tits, facial pop). Tina’s solo masturbation and rut with Marc is the highlight, of course, mainly due to her high school sweetheart freshness. The whole magilla is best enjoyed by those who like their smut on the grimy and low-rent side – yeah, I’m talking to you.

Video-X-Pix’s DVD includes trailers for Hot Honey and Chuck Vincent’s MisBehavin’ (with Leslie Bovee, Gloria Leonard, and Sonny Landham), as well as a quick chat with Ron Jeremy, who shows off his piano chops and discusses sucking his own dick (again).

Nympho Libre (2007)
Starring Veronica Caine (Barrett Moore), Cherie, Ashley Taylor, and El Momia Azteca
Directed by Toby Dammit and Johnny Legend
Raunchy Tonk

“Eat my love meat, you barrio bimbo!”

Note to candy-boy porn fans – reviewing XXX is not the sexodelic wonderland it’s cracked up to be. You watch enough volumes of Stretch My Elastic Asshole with Your Monster Black Cock, and the smutty, forbidden side of porn burns away, and what you’re left with a pile of silky thighs and silicone tits that look more like the meat counter at your supermarket than your latest cream dream. It’s sad, but true. Don’t believe me? Just ask Sleaze. He’s reviewed thousands of these things.

But if reviewing porn is a regular gig, you stick it out and keep hoping that the next delivery contains something that’s novel or inventive or at least proudly retarded – something like Nympho Libre, to be precise. I’m not sure if this is the sequel to Sex Mex, Toby Dammit and Johnny Legend’s first venture into combining Mexican wrestling with hardcore fucking, or a retitle, but frankly, who cares? It has guys and gals in lucha libre masks, Johnny Legend in full speedfreak rap mode as El Pornographico, a zoomerating twang rock from the Tijuana Bibles and Ubangis, and and the Aztec Mummy himself receiving his first blow job in 2000 years. That alone is worth more than the last 50 Red Light District titles I’ve endured, but you also get lotsa hardcore screwing to boot. Yeah, some of the girls on hand look a little blown out, but Veronica Caine/Barrett Moore looks incredible in her anal throw-down with Mark Wood, and tit queen Ashley Moore – well, she just has to stand there to get you hard, but she gives her all to a motel room romp with a dude in a knockoff Santo mask. Oh, and newcomer Cherie brings more heat than anyone should to a scene in which she’s blowing a guy in a rubbery mummy costume.

 Best of all, Nympho Libre gets the essential truth about porn – it’s base, crass entertainment aimed directly at your crotch, and should never take itself seriously. Clearly, any movie which features a doughy Mexican wrestler getting picked up in a Valley parking lot by a horny secretary for a bout of Motel 6 sex, or the Aztec Mummy uttering lines like “May the sperm demons of Amon-Ra scream a thousand curses in my red bulb of ecstasy!” while getting head isn’t taking itself seriously for a second, and frankly, it’s appreciated. That’s just me, though.

Extras include commentary by Dammit and Caine/Moore, who discuss the history of her many porn names as well as the movie’s lengthy off-and-on schedule, as well as behind the scenes footage shot during the movie’s finale, a lesbo face-off between Caine, Daisy Chain, and the diminutive Chrissy Sparks.
