Gazzman Wasted

Gazzman Wasted

I started watching Wasted by British director Gazzman and couldn’t decide what category it fell into. Was it a mocumentary? Was it a spoof? Was it trying to be reality TV, but about porn and porn production?

I came to the conclusion that it’s what TV producers have taken to calling “Constructed Reality”. That is telling a story by carefully crafting a series of directed scenes, sometimes improvised, to tell a story as if it were happening for real. The director and the viewer form an unspoken agreement not to question this deceit. Through that metaphorical nod and wink we get to enjoy a rather extreme, R18 rated soap opera about some pretty out of control porn stars trying to make a movie despite them being depicted as having deep character flaws and mercurial behaviours.

We watch Brooklyn Lee, Angelina Valentine, Kelly Klass, Aiden Starr, Breanne Benson, James Deen, Nacho Vidal, Nick Manning, Danny Mountain and Tony De Sergio fight their respective daemons while they fuck for the camera.

James Deen is depicted as an alcoholic, steeling booze from sleeping vagrants and pissing on the windshield of an SUV while standing on the hood (it’s in the states OK, if he was in the UK it would be a windscreen and a bonnet :p)

Angelina Valentine is billed as a psychopath, and is pretty good at acting like a psycho diva for the purposes of the movie.

Nacho Vidal is apparently “Angry”, soooo he shouts a lot, throws a lot of things, breaks one camera of a journalist who wants to interview him and then fucks his co-star.

Nick Manning, “Pretty Boy Of Porn” doesn’t do humility, and he doesn’t get on with Nacho Vidal for the purposes of the DVD. He is only tamed when Aiden Starr has him gagged and strapped to a table. Apparently this scene isn’t for public release – oh dear, Gazzman seems to have forgotten and put it on the DVD.

In “Porn Couples” some nice use of gym equipment is used as we watch a porn couple row about a scene he did “behind her back” and then make up by fucking hard.

The end of the movie has Nacho Vidal scream into an underground parking lot at the studios, storm into the office and rant at the management. All very amusing.

If you know Gazzman’s work you know what the porn content of the movie will be like. Every position, every hole and lots of cum for you to enjoy. The settings are industrial and the fucking is vigorous and raw. Personally I liked Aiden Starr and Nick Manning’s scene best because it was different, a little kinky and playful in its execution. There’s more variety in this movie than in some of Gazzman’s output and the movie is better for it. The sex scenes are good, but it’s the movie as a whole that makes me tempted to say this is his best title yet.

The premise of this DVD is not entirely new but I’ve never seen it executed so well and to such good effect. There have been “reality” porn movies before but this one has a vitality and humour that means that I, a hater of soaps and constructed reality really enjoyed. This isn’t for everyone but you need to watch it to see that porn movies don’t have to have the budget of an epic to be different and entertaining.

Nice one Gazzman.

Malice In La La Land

Malice In La La Land

Malice In La La Land has been a long time coming to DVD so when it dropped on to our mat I thought it would be good to give you a sneak preview of what to expect before we complete the full review.

The production is one of the costliest in porn’s recent history, the cost being increased by shooting on 35mm film unlike almost all of today’s pornographic films that use HD digital video. During the production one of the reels had to be completely re-shot according to our industry sources so that can’t have cheered up the backers and cause a bit of panic within the production company.

Malice In La La Land has been available on streaming for a while, the DVD release obviously held back until that revenue stream had been fully exploited.

What dropped out of the shiny red envelope when we opened Malice In La La Land was something quite unlike anything we’ve reviewed before. Shrink wrapped in plastic we received a DVD case in the form of a book. Hell the finish is like that of one of my old school books!

The cover art owes its inspiration to Sin Cities, the front featuring Sasha Grey, Andy San Dimas and Kagney Linn. It credits amongst others, Keni Styles and the omnipresent Ron Jeremy. I assume Ron’s appearance is a cameo at this stage because although the venerable old man of porn does still act when I saw him at breakfast in Berlin last year he has the look of an actor made (as they say at the RSC) for “character parts” these days. All hail the mighty hedgehog!

Inside the cover is a graphic novel of the film (Frank Miller will be smiling knowingly at this point), and the DVD.

Well, now there is only one thing to do. Read the graphic novel, watch the DVD and let all you naughty little creatures know just how deep the rabbit hole goes …

Office Perverts

Office Perverts

This DVD is brought to you courtesy of Reality Junkies a Canadian outfit, I didn’t even know that Canada did porn, just goes to show it’s always the quiet ones.  Lol

Office Perverts is 129 minutes of the kind of office action most of us have dreamed about and a few of us have tried (me included, don’t mention doing it on the boss’ desk).  It’s a series of 5 office based scenes where “taking things down” comes naturally.

I would advise that you go for the Scene Selection option rather than watch the film if you want to avoid the spoilers.  If you elect to watch the DVD you get a visual summary of all the scenes before the main feature.

Each vignette is a little story of office life including the cliché “Interview” and it’s a good job that we aren’t watching for the acting abilities of these pornstars.   Keep an ear out for the only English guy who happens to be a bit of a wanker.  ;)

All the scenes are well lit and offer a selection of positions including doggy style, missionary, cow girl and reverse cowgirl interspersed with lots of cock sucking.  Don’t expect to see any anal, this production is anal free.  But if you like your stocking tops you are in for a treat most of the scenes feature an eager lingerie wearing babe.

You get your fair share of facial’s with three out of the five scenes resulting in an open mouthed honey being sprayed with cum.

Of all the scenes on this DVD my favourite has to be the 3rd, which features a hot brunette who returns to the office with her partner for a bit of late night action.

If you like a bit of office sex and don’t mind some of the scenes being a bit samey for the pleasure, then this ones for you.

I was rather bemused to see Mark Wood who I hadn’t seen since my early dalliances with porn and Zero Tolerance.  It was a bit like a step back in time but he obviously still performs.

The production features: Lexi Belle, Shyla Stylez, Ann Marie Rios, Madelyn Marie, Francessca Le and because I was determined to get the guys names too I watched the credits, so without further to do here are the guys Chris Johnson, Alex Knight, Danny Mountain, Mark Wood and Anthony Rosano.
