Australian Penthouse

Top Guns

Producer: Digital Playground
Director: Robby D
Stars: Jesse Jane, Kayden Kross, Riley Steele, Stoya, Selena Rose

Get ready for your highway to the pleasure zone as Digital Playground lampoons the 1986 Bruckheimer classic, Top Gun.

Covering the plot and starlets in broad strokes, Jesse Jane heads up a team of super sexy wing-women at odds with their cock-sure male counterparts at this training ground for US pilots. The attention to detail is to be commended, not so much for following the original’s storyline or a shot for shot recreation, but more towards setting the tone, overall look and how the flight sequences are handled. Whether it’s the motorcycle ride along as a fighter takes flight or the mock dogfights, all are instantly recognisable and convincingly look the part.

The serenade bar scene is whittled down to a bathroom jaunt as Jesse works her feminine wiles to perfection. As the sexual tension builds between crews, they let off steam by recreating the iconic volleyball sequence with a guys-versus-gals twist as Kayden Kross pays the price for her team’s loss in the locker room.

The entire cast seems completely at ease with each other and really let go, adding to the intensity of each scene. The climax (in all senses of the word) is a post sortie, celebratory reverse gangbang as one lucky co-pilot docks with the entire squadron of honeys before they go to work on each other.

The special features are well worth a look, with a great impromptu POV bonus scene as Jesse and Riley get caught warming up and go to town on the cameraman, a featurette on the surprisingly decent FX and a hilarious blooper reel to top things off.

Watch out for the guns, they’ll get you.

Off The Set is an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the very private lives of porn stars. This large format photography book takes readers through the figurative back door and in to the bedrooms of some of the adult industry’s biggest names.

Primarily these stories are told through photo essays, though some of the sets are punctuated by letters, interviews or prose between, with and from the actors involved. The resultant picture is one of diversity. Many of the insights detail the liberation of the industry and the gifts it has given its practitioners, but others – such as the emotive farewell Lorelei Lee delivers to her anonymous beau –  allude to the uncertainty and tribulations that can be symptomatic of the job and its stigma.

Photography team Paulie and Pauline have collected a handful of revelations that serve to definitively humanize a category of people so often objectified as sexual machines, and they’ve done it with a lush set of production values and no lack of artistic vision.

Off The Set is a rare and endearing glimpse in to the depths of some very special individuals.

NURSES
Producer: Digital Playground
Director: Robby D
Starring: Jesse Jane, Riley Steele, Stoya, Katsuni, Sasha Grey, Shay Jordan, Jenna Haze

AFTER looking back at the crop of fantasy-inspired titles by Digital Playground and celebrating its Blu-ray release, it was high time that we revisited Nurses.

This movie has it all: a starlet studded line-up; light S&M across the board; and attentive health practitioners to take your temperature orally, and reciprocate anally.

At more than three hours, this feature is the pinnacle of the DP series—quite possibly the best the studio has released. Almost every scene is a FFM threesome with plenty of hard sex, spanking, choking and enthusiastic participation on both sides.

Sasha Grey has a memorable moment as an incredibly helpful Candy Striper and the finale—with one lucky bastard molested by Jesse, Riley, Katsuni, Stoya and Shay—is enough to induce a genuine cardiac arrest.

5 stars

BABE
Producer: Daring
Director: Antonio Adamo
Starring: Viva Style, Julia Taylor, Boroka Balls, Caty, Nikky Blond, Claudia Rossi

DARING is beginning to leave its mark as a producer of high quality porn. Consider it a European cousin to Digital Playground, with impressive production values, stunning women (most of whom are not silicon-enhanced—a pleasant change) and actors who really enjoy their work.

And it shows.  This story, about fashion models-cum-porn stars, is full to bursting with non-stop hard action, and throws in a One Night in Paris night-vision camera rip into the mix.

The bevy of babes is mouth-watering, and Viva Style smoulders from her first moment on camera to her scorching DP.  She is more than ably joined by Nikky Blond in a spirited anal romp, and Caty, who mesmerises throughout every second she is on screen.

4.5 stars

PSYCHO CHEERLEADERS 2
Producer: Wicked
Director: Mark Stone
Starring: Aiden Starr, Evie Delatosso, Holly West, Jennifer Dark, Sindee Jennings

THE slightly misleading title would have you think this was some schlock-horror porno.  Instead, you get a mess of cheerleaders who swap the casting couch for a psychiatrist’s couch as they work through their many issues.

The Doctor’s attempts at comedic therapy are laughable (for all the wrong reasons) with B-boy impersonations and (our favourite) using an ass-mould to simulate bongo drums, leading to many groans, albeit none of the sexual variety.

The Doctor’s recommendations always lead to sexual adventurism and, more often than not, anal.

The only real performance of note is by Sindee Jennings, as the rest of the cast look a tad MILFy to pass as cheerleaders. Stick with Digital Playground’s Cheerleaders; it’s a superior film in every way.

2.5 stars

THE EROTIC GHOST WHISPERER
Producer: Visage Films
Director: Cash Markman
Starring: Katie Morgan, Lisa Daniels, Cindy Crawford, Nautica Thorn

THERE are times when the reviewer is entertained as much by the taglines of a stick-flick as he is by the action featured within—sometimes more so.

The Erotic Ghost Whisperer splits the difference, sitting somewhere in the middle. While guffawing at the brilliance of “I see hot people” or “She’s a medium—but not in bra size”, the premise of having sex with spirits of the deceased is either laughable or genius.

Considering the apparitions are occasionally ‘tingling’ or in a smoky background, it might be best to go with laughable.

The only real stand-out is Katie Morgan, who offers a (ahem) spirited performance in both scenes, let down only by extraneous chit-chat. Less words, more action should be every porn director’s mantra…that, and don’t bite it!
