Family Affairs Volume 2
The second in Viv Thomas’ Family Affair series Suze reviewed this over on Himdulgence. As is often the case with Viv’s productions this is a gentle but hardcore production which makes it great for couples and viewers who don’t want a frantic, hard-fucking unrelenting sex fest that some DVDs seem to be.
Features: Madison Parker, Peaches, Jenna Lovely, Nikita, Abbie Cat, Tanya Tate, Pure Angel, Debbie White, James Brossman, Ricardo Bell, Matt Bird
Cunning Stunts Strangelove
Cunning Stunts Review – Directed by Strangelove
Cunning Stunts is another DVD from the Harmony Films Studio. Directed by Strangelove it tries to add something a little different to the genre of erotic/pornographic movies.
The first scene involves a doctor’s couch, a penis pump, stirrups and a butt plug. There’s lots of mutual licking and sucking. Lots and lots and – well it does go on for quite a while. Cindy Dollar really does get a seeing-to.
Next it’s Tanya Tate’s turn to get a serious seeing to from Jay R and she seems to enjoy it too, including the graphic facial cum shot. A very enthusiastic performance.
Michelle Moist and Kate Harrington then indulge in a bit of solo masturbation for you to enjoy. They get together with tongues and toys then move to the shower …
Aliz comes next in a slightly contrived but pretty well done voyeuristic scene. The sliding about all over the wet shower screen should work better than it does, but the section filmed from under the glass dance floor works, is different and effective. Another over-long blowjob (if enthusiastic) followed by a hard shag.

Finally Sarah Twain gets a helping hand and cock from Jay R when her vibrator breaks while she’s playing in the hot tub. Not all pool attendants are that helpful, or that well endowed. They are then joined by pool attendant #2 to ensure that every one of Sarah’s orifices are thoroughly attended to.
While this is certainly a different take on porn it sometimes comes across as being a little eclectic as if there were lots of ideas that could have been explored better in two slightly shortened movies with less of a mix in each. That isn’t to say this is a bad movie just lacking in a coherent theme. Of course the fact that I’m even considering that it should have a theme shows that this isn’t your bargain basement porn.
The lighting is good, sometimes excellent, sound clear though occasionally out of step with the action. The camera work is of the usual Harmony high standard and the picture quality is HD, no grainy VHS-eqsue rubbish here. You get to see everything, clearly and in HD just plug it into your 52″ TV and feel part of the action LOL.
Cunning Stunts is a good DVD. Apart from where noted above each of the scenes is better in isolation that as part of the whole. But then when did you last watch every scene in a porn movie from beginning to end?

The Wicked Ones
At 2 hours 40 minutes you know The Wicked Ones is going to contain a huge amount of sucking and fucking. The question is always – “ Is it worth watching?
Being a Harmony film, directed by Tanya Hyde the answer is usually YES!
Happily this DVD follows the Harmony pattern of higher than average production values, excellent lighting and makeup, great sets and outstanding camera work. The whole thing is filmed in HD, nice.
The DVD consists of four scenes “Control”, “The Filth And The Frenzy”, “The Den Of Depravity” and “Flog ‘em And Fuck ‘em”. You’ll have gathered from the title that there’s a BDSM theme to the whole DVD. Filmed in a fantastically well equipped dungeon and lit to create an atmosphere absent in most other porn titles The Wicked Ones is going to be one of our favourites for a long time.
All but “The Filth And The Frenzy” are great scenes. The only reason I regard this scene as just OK is the clown masks which are simply not my thing. However the cum shot over a beautifully formed ass and corseted back does redeem the scene at the very end. Pity the girls in this scene are not credited except on the sleeve because the blonde with the beautiful ass has a gorgeous pair of natural boobs too.
The two highlights for me are the girl-girl action in The Den Of Depravity, Michelle Moist and Michelle Thorn are so sexy in latex, and secondly there is Flog ‘em And Fuck ‘em. In this, the final scene, you are treated to the incomparable Jay Snake dividing his energetic and inventive attentions between Sofia Valentine (sporting a very cute bob) and a Ree Petra (now brunette and with her hair in bunches).
From the flogging on the bondage wheel through Sofia Valentine riding Jay across the floor to lick Petra into submission we loved this scene. Apart from the kiss between Ree and Sofia being cut short (more girl-girl kisses of this quality please) the scene itself is worth the price of the DVD on its own.
Ree Petra
Every performer delivers a very satisfying element to this ensemble piece. All the girls give everything they’ve got and special mention has to go the towering colossus of porn that is Jay R AKA Jay Snake. His impressive stature (in every sense of the phrase) and endurances, coupled with his attentiveness to the girls makes him stand out as a truly great adult performer.
The camera angles are great and well thought out, camera work is steady and the lighting of every shot puts most other porn productions to shame. The music bed laid under the sounds of the performers is atmospheric and not intrusive. The dungeon setting means there is ample opportunity to use the array of BDSM equipment and use it they do.
Criticisms?
Well, the white latex masks didn’t do it for me, but that’s a personal preference. I like to see a girl being fucked by a guy, not anonymous, faceless cock. The scene title cards too are a bit off-putting, the colours clash and the neon drop shadow on the text looked like they were from a different and lower quality movie. Odd because everything else about The Wicked Ones screams class.
In conclusion – Buy this DVD now.
