The 8th Day is the newest “blockbuster” adult film by Adam & Eve.  It is epic, and by that I mean long.  It has two disks for the film itself with over 4 hours of “action” and 9 hours of DVD extras on two other disks.  It has also been getting some great reviews including the coveted XCritic Pick and is currently the “#1 Adult Movie in America”.

This is a porn with plot film.  If you are more of a gonzo guy or girl, you won’t like this film.  However, if your favorite films are Pirates or Fashionsitas, you may get into it.  I happen to love Pirates and Fashionistas, but had a different reaction to this film.

Plot

Modeled after the post-apocalyptic dystopian actions films of the 70s like Mad Max and Tank Girl, The 8th Day features Kayden Kross, a Barbie-doll blonde with fake tits in the lead role of Samantha who awakens from a cryogenic slumber to find the world has been destroyed by technology and is now a nomad’s wasteland with warring tribes of survivors.  Turns out it was her father—a scientist and the guy who put her into suspended animation—that is responsible for destroying the world.  So Sam goes out into the now near deserted LA and wanders around for a long, long, time, occasionally finding deformed humans to have sex with or run away from.

She is then kidnapped, but quickly rescued by scavenger Mel (Amber Rayne) and taken to a desert oasis called Elysium Fields where the inhabitants down technology and follow enigmatic leader, Prince Amir.  However, once Amir–whose real name is Dave–finds out it was her father who destroyed the earth, Sam is strapped to a cross and sacrificed to die in the desert.  The end.

Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?!  While the premise of this film is cool, and the setting, costuming and special-effects make-up stand-out including the awesome tribal tattoos that most of the adult performers sport, the film is slow, long, and the sex scenes mediocre to bad.

Sex

Rather than bore you with a scene-by-scene breakdown, I’ll talk about the one scene that really shines starring Amber Rayne with Cheyne Collins and Sledge Hammer.  Amber Rayne who was awarded the 2009 AVN Unsung Starlet of the Year award, is amazing.  Not only is she a believable actress which is hard to find in the adult industry, she has lots of other talents.  She really takes on these two guys who are supposed to “cleanse her” of bad technology from her wanderings in the city.  She is the most enthusiastic and skilled cocksucker I’ve ever seen on screen.  And, while I’m not usually into cock-sucking scenes, she had me riveted.  She chokes and gobbles down two cocks back and forth with an animated “Ha!” each time she goes back down and stuffs these huge cocks down her throat like they were putty.  She also is amazing at anal (something she is known for) and DP as well, and these guys can’t get enough of her.  They are crazed as she orders them to give her their cocks and she drives them wild.

The other scenes are far less fantastic, featuring mutant-sex between Kayden Kross, Tommy Gunn and Aaron Wilcoxxx; a phony domination scene featuring Kylie Ireland and Derrick Pierce as sex slave Jandi Lin watches on; an incredibly annoying girl-girl scene with Bree Olson, Poppy Morgan and Tori Black who howl like sex-starved cats gone mad the entire scene; and a fall from paradise inspired scene with Darryl Hanah as Eve (who looks identical to the real Darryl Hannah),Violet Marcell as the snake and Evan Stone as Adam.  There is also an orgy feast featuring many of the above and a final scene with Kayden, Violet and Evan, none of which are worth mentioning.

I didn’t bother watching the extras, because it took four hours of monotonous “action” to watch the feature, and I only have so much time I can spend on a review of a product that in the end, bored the hell out of me.  This is of course my opinion, and you may enjoy the film like so many other reviewers did.  It is definitely worth it to see Amber Rayne’s scene and I suspect she will win another AVN award for this one.

Bend Over Boyfriend (1998)
Studio- Fatale Media
Director- Shar Rednour and Jackie Strano
Cast- Dr. Carol Queen, Robert Morgan, Laura Goodhue, Cupcake Jones, Greg Heiman, Troy, Miss Behavin’

Bend Over Boyfriend came out in 1998 and was the first and only instructional video of its kind to introduce anal pleasure for men, through strap-on sex with a female partner.  Although today the film seems a bit dated, compared to newer films of the same topic, like Tristan Taormino’s “Expert Guides”, at the time of its launch the film was groundbreaking and has remained one of the best-selling videos on this topic of all time.

While I have read some praise for the film, I have also read some criticism including that it is “too instructional”, “not erotic”, and that it has an “infomercial quality and the officious attention to every detail”.  This makes me wonder what people think an instructional film is.  I mean really.  I don’t expect instructional films about sex to be erotic, or to lack instruction.  I want them to teach me something in the simplest way possible.  I want the people presenting the topic—in this case Dr. Carol Queen and Robert Morgan—to be enthusiastic, knowledgeable and experienced, and to provide details, even if they are not always relevant to me.  I don’t necessarily want to be entertained or aroused by the content, or expect it to get an Academy Award.  I want to learn something new.  If I wanted to just watch people fuck, I’d rent a porno.

Now, I’ll admit that academics are often a bit dry.  After all, Carol Queen is not an actor, but an educator, although she does know and present her topic better than any actor could.  And, while she does recommend products at the end of the film and where to buy them (read: resources), I think it is certainly useful if the general public doesn’t have a clue about anal dildos or strap-ons, which was certainly the case back in 1998.  And, let’s remember that sex shops were not always as sex-positive or as helpful with knowledgeable staff as they are today.

I think Bend Over Boyfriend is a great film and it is easy to see why it has had such longevity.  Carol and Robert are passionate about their topic and very experienced.  They talk about anatomy, prostate pleasure and health, relaxation and massage, safe sex, arousal, gender-bending, and the best tools for anal stimulation (including mouth, tongue and fingers!).  After this ten minute intro, they show you enthusiastically how it is done (and while this is probably not erotic for the viewer, I bet it was for them).  The film also includes two other male/female couples that demonstrate different scenarios, variations of anal pleasure and sexual positions.  So Bend Over Boyfriend was an excellent guide when it first came out, and today I believe it still has information that is valuable to share, especially for couples seeking to explore anal sex for men and gender-bending for the first time.

Thank you to Babeland for this trip down memory lane.  Be sure to check out Bend Over Boyfriend and all the other excellent instructional films they have in their store as well as their Bend Over Boyfriend Strap-on Kit.

the opening of misty beethoven The Opening of Misty Beethoven

The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976)
Studio- VCA / Crescent Films
Director- Henry Paris / Radley Metzger
Cast- Constance Money, Jamie Gillis, Jacqueline Beaudant, Terri Hall, Ras Kean, Gloria Leonard

“The Opening of Misty Beethoven” is a Pygmalion porn-story of a pathetic prostitute (Constance Money ) who is transformed into a New York “socialite”—or more accurately an elite passionate cocksucker—by “sex researcher” hedonist Dr. Love (Jamie Gillis).  If you have ever seen any of Jamie Gillis’ films he usually plays the part of a sexist (if loveable) pig quite well, and Misty Beethoven is no acceptation.  Many of his roles are in bdsm films featuring him as a cruel Top who like to humiliate and beat his subs, but he is often on the submissive end as well.

The film is seriously dated and like many 70s triple-X films features a pornocopia of orgies in lavish settings, hairy snatches, kitschy dialogue, dreadful acting, bad hair-dos and worse outfits.  Dr. Love teaches Misty how to suck cock like it’s her last meal, and there’s lots of other fucking as well as some girl-girl action.  In one scene Dr. Love tells Misty: “Most women stop sucking at orgasm, but that’s when a real woman starts sucking.”  The focus on the film is male pleasure and little is paid to want Misty (or a female audience for that matter) might want or enjoy.

Misty debuts as a fantastic pervert at a party orgy, where Dr. Love humiliates her in public by taking credit for her newly acquired skills.  Misty gets fed up with Love and splits, but then returns to surprise suck/fuck him as one of his maids.  Meanwhile, Love can’t forget about Misty and is perhaps wishing he had treated her better?  The end of the film shows Misty transformed into the “teacher” and Dr. Love as her slave in chains of bondage in an “ironic” twist.

If you are into retro porn, The Opening of Misty Beethoven is a classic, more so for its “porn with plot” than titillating sex scenes, though.

sugarhigh 200w Sugar High Glitter City

I love reviewing porn for Babeland, because they always have the most interesting, unique and sexy films. This week’s review is Sugar High Glitter City, by Sir Video.

Sugar High Glitter City is set in a retro-dystopia where sugar and candy is outlawed and addicted candy ‘hos have to sell their bodies to feed their sweet obsession.  Of course, the cops are just as bad as the prostitutes and pimps, keeping the girls in supply for special tricks and treats.

The film features all dyke hardcore porn with an array of sweet candy-colored glitter dildos, saccharine pussy eating, and finger-licking good fisting sex.  The mise-en-scene is retro reminiscent of 70s sexploitation films with glitter make-up and strange spandex costuming, a Puss Puss Glitter Palace whorehouse, mean graffiti streets, and disco balls.

The sex is authentic dyke porn, but I had a hard time getting into some of it because of the poor lighting in several scenes.  But, you do get a lot of different scenes, various body types and genders including lipstick lesbians, dykes and gender-bending bois.  This film had great potential, but fell short of my expectations, mainly because the camera and lighting was rather shoddy.

ashleyandkisha Ashley and Kisha

Like Comstock’s other films, “Ashley and Kisha” showcases an intimate relationship between two lovers, whose story is tender and unique.  Ashley and Kisha are two young women who met in college and became lovers.  Ashley is an out-and-proud lesbian, while Kisha considered herself “straight” and not interested in women, until she met Ashley.  During their interview, the women talk about how Kisha initially rebuffed Ashley’s “animal instinct” advances until she tried more “subtler” methods, “easing her way in” to Kisha’s consciousness until Kisha could no longer resist.

The two are a study in contrasts:  Kisha is very conservative, soft and voluptuous; Ashley out-spoken, confident and rebellious with a lean, athletic body.   Ashley takes control in the bedroom, awakening Kisha’s body to a rediscovery of pleasure, a pleasure that only another woman can know.  Both women admit that sex together is the best they ever had.

Their story is sweet and amorous, their lovemaking playful, sensual and erotic.  “Ashley and Kisha” is delightful film about the rhapsody of young love between two women and their journey of new sexual discovery.
