Casual Encounters (2016) Review

Casual Encounters (2016) Poster

Today we are going modern. We don’t usually do that, so we decided that today was a good day to go back a couple of years for a movie that was released by Wicked Pictures and starts Jessica Drake. Drake plays a woman that wants to have casual encounters, and that’s really the crux of the movie. With that in mind, we are going to venture into a world of casual sex, with this high budget picture. The movie we are reviewing today is called, “Casual Encounters”, which was released in 2016 from Wicked Pictures. The movie stars Jessica Drake, Derrick Pierce, Marcus London, Romi Rain, Eric Masterson, Steven St. Croix, Mr. Pete, and Olivia Austin. It’s a film, more than just a porno, and it shows from the start.

The movie begins with Jessica Drake looking online for dates, and seems to find someone to email. The two then plan on meeting at a bar, and end up talking. This is all filmed with stellar lighting, amazing camera work, and shows more of a “movie” vibe than a porno. If you like high end productions, this one takes the cake, it’s well lit, it has some stellar angles, and it’s regular in terms of movies. It’s not at all gritty, with the sole downside for me being the music, which is a bad EDM production. The movie shows Drake and Derrick Pierce going to a bar and conversing, and that’s really all you see for the first 10 minutes to start the movie. As the movie progresses, the two start to kiss in the corner of a bar, and then signal to go to the back, where the action will no doubt start.

The movie goes to the bathroom, and that’s where we are treated to seeing Jessica Drake and Derrick Pierce having sex. They are just going at it, and it seems to be a natural progression, from kissing to sex. Drake has a red top, long black boots, and a black skirt. She’s a tall woman for the adult film world, has long blonde hair, and medium sized breasts, that may be augmented, but I can’t tell in this scene. Derrick Pierce isn’t a big guy, but he gets hard and lasts. The sex scene starts with Derrick performing oral on Jessica Drake, then the two go into counter sex, with only Pierce going full nude here. As far as the sex goes, it’s ok, a few positions here and there, and Drake trying to moan and look like she’s into it at first, only to finally get into it around the 17 minute mark. Derrick Pierce looks like he’s just concentrating, and while this is very much a sensual scene, it’s a little robotic in nature. If you watch it, you’ll note that it’s mostly business, even when Pierce seems to go in a little harder. After a good amount of back and forth, Pierce cums on Drake, and that’s it. Visually this is well lit, the bathroom is clean, the director does well with the camera, and the performers are ok, but Pierce is noticeably not large, and Drake seems less than enthused for a bit of this movie. The ending was ok, she sucks Pierce off a little, while EDM starts again, and I personally hate the soundtrack.

The movie fades to Derrick reading an email and seeing that Jessica Drake wants another round. He says that he will instruct her, and she is sent on a quest to find a dude to blow.

Drake meets up with a man named Marcus London, or rather that’s the actor’s name. London is a built, ripped guy, and Drake gets on her knees immediately, to start to suck him off. Her skills here are lacking. Drake visually does well, and it’s not a terrible sequence, but it’s definitely visually striking rather than something she seems to be really into. There are moments where she seems to be interested, but London has to just egg her on to continue at times. As far as a blow job scene is concerned, it’s not half bad, and at the 25 minute mark, really starts to take off, as though Drake starts to enjoy herself for a moment, and forgets she’s on film. The two move into the passenger seat of a car, as they are in a parking lot, and they start to have sex, and it’s reverse cowgirl with a condom on. It’s nothing fancy here, just your average sex scene if you ask me. Drake looks bored a bit, and London seems to know it, so he gets her up and asks her to suck him off again, and she obliges, until he finishes. There’s no music here, but the film quality is great here, yet again, giving you great angles, good lighting, and ambient noise as well. London finishes on Drake’s face and that’s it.

We are taken back to Drake’s apartment, and she is just looking off into the distance, seeing what’s around, and nothing more. She then texts Derrick and he says to come over, and he’s in a room having sex with another woman.

There’s a hotel bed, and Romi Rain is in bed with Pierce, having sex. Romi Rain is a voluptuous woman with tan skin, a large tattoo on her body, long black hair, and large breasts. She moans a great deal as Pierce goes in and out of her, and the two are nearly all naked. The two have sex the way you would with an escort, hurried, lacking passion, and just going through the motions. Drake watches and just sits in the corner as the two continue their involvement, which has no sound, other than the moans and the movement of the bed which squeaks. As far as this sex scene is concerned, it’s way better than the previous drake ones, as the two exchange positions, moan a great deal, and is quite good. Even the ending is good with Pierce cumming on Romi Rain. Romi Rain upstages Drake if you ask me, and it’s a good scene with some passion, which is lacking in the other scenes up to this point. At the 52 minute mark, Pierce cums in her mouth, and that’s the end of this sequence.

We go back to Drake texting Pierce, and wants to know what else is next. It’s here that we are taken to a new option. This time around, Pierce drives Drake to a circle of cars in the middle of nowhere. It’s here that she starts to suck off a bunch of guys, while blind folded. This scene features Jessica Drake, Eric Masterson, Mr. Pete, and Steven St. Croix, and it’s mostly a blind folded blow job sequence with the guys keeping their clothes on for the most part, and cars lights shining onto them. It’s straight forward, until around the 1 hour and 5 minute mark when St. Croix starts to have sex with Drake, while she’s still blindfolded. At around the one hour and 9 minute mark, you’re going to get a double penetration moment, with Drake getting pounded and hoked, blind folded, with another guy getting blown at the same time. This is the most interesting of visuals, and it’s really the most hardcore of the sequences that Drake has been in, that I have seen her in, thus far. It truly seems like she gets into the scene, and the director lets the action play on, relatively easy going with Drake actually looking like she’s into the sex. It’s a fascinating push forward, in an otherwise sterile film. All of the guys take turns, and eventually cum on Drake, before Pierce gets out of a car and starts to approach her. Drake takes off her blind fold and starts to blow Pierce while a couple watches in a car.

The scene ends without a money shot, and we are taken to a bathroom in which we see Jessica Drake, just taking a shower. She is in there and taking a shower, soaking up the cleanliness, and that’s it. A nude Jessica Drake starts to masturbate in the shower, and that’s it. If you like solo masturbation scenes, then you may like Drake’s scene here, where you see her completely nude, and notice that she does in fact have breast implants. Visually it’s simple, but the director stays above the waist for a lot of it, making this an odd choice if you ask me. There’s a bit of focus on the masturbation around the one hour and 20 minute mark, but it’s more of an artistic send off than a hardcore sex scene if you ask me. Drake does get herself off though, which is sexy, and finely tuned if you ask me.

The scene fades, and we are taken to a mundane task where Drake is texting Pierce and we are along for the rid. It’s a simple look at Drake with minimal make up and just in regular clothing. I personally like her this way, but that’s just my two cents. She texts Pierce and the two setup a date for later.

At the next meeting, we see Pierce hanging out and waiting for Drake. This next scene features Jessica Drake, Olivia Austin, and Derrick Pierce. We are given a little bit of a story here, as Drake drops a photograph on her. We start to see that Drake has been trying to blackmail this guy for some time, and has been working an angle the whole time, eventually getting her revenge at the end. She then enters the room with the dude’s wife, and there’s some explaining that needs to get done, right? Nope! This is a porno, and we are taken into a whole new world of sex as there’s a threesome. This time around Olivia Austin gets most of the action, and she’s a tall blonde woman with large breasts. Her and drake could be sisters in this. Jessica Drake, Olivia Austin, and Derrick Pierce have sex on a white couch, and it’s visually good, just a bit dry if you ask me. There’s no passion again, and it’s robotic in nature. However, as far as a modern porno is concerned, it has all the elements that you would expect, so I guess in a way it’s not terrible? I can’t complain too much, it’s two hot blondes getting railed on a white couch, simple and plain. Pierce cums on Austin’s face and that’s the end, another movie done.

I give “Casual Encounters” a 3 out of 5. While I am a fan of Jessica Drake’s work at times, visually, I didn’t find this one to be that great. She is a great looking woman, don’t get me wrong, but the sex just didn’t feel passionate at all. She is a stunning woman though, and I’d love to interview her, and maybe clear up some of my criticisms of the sex. Otherwise, it’s a random porno that I probably won’t remember.

Now, if you’re a fan of modern porno, and like the premise of casual encounters, and love Jessica Drake, then by all means, this is a blu ray and DVD you want to get. It’s well made, it looks great, and it will definitely impress a lot of people. It’s a good looking movie, and you can buy it by clicking HERE.

Video Tramp (1984) Review

Video Tramp (19984) Cover 

We go back into our time machine again and this time around we are going to be looking at a movie that was released into theaters and onto VHS and Beta Max from 1984. Going back in time to the 1980s is always fun, at least for me, as you get a glimpse of porno from the past. In this movie, "Video Tramp" we are taken back to the times when video stores were still around and it's one of my favorite time frames, as I love video stores. It's here that you're going to find the stars align for a Jack Genero directed film. The stars of this movie include Jessica Wylde, Tom Byron, Marc Wallice, Andrea Brittain, and of course Christy Canyon. So with that all in mind, let's get to the movie, in which we are taken to a video store.

At the video store, we see Christy Canyon as a video store clerk that recommends videos to different patrons. In the store at the opening of the movie is Tom Byron. He wants a movie for himself and his girlfriend, and picks up a John C. Holmes feature, as it is recommended by Canyon. The box is shown on the screen, and then we are taken to a bedroom where Byron is hanging out with this girlfriend. Within 3 minutes, the sex begins, and we are off to the races in this porno movie from 1984.

We are taken to a wooden clad bedroom. We see Tom Byron and Jessica Wylde in bed, and they start to kiss. Jessica Wylde is a brunette, and has a "hippy" look to her, as she's young, has medium sized natural breasts, full pubic hair, and extremely long hair. She is very feminine and looks amazing next to Tom Byron in this one. Byron of course looks young, because he is, and the two start with oral, as an acoustic song loops. The oral is good, with Byron going first, then Wylde giving Byron a blow job. It's here that we see Byron as "Dirk Diggler", if you ask me. and while the lighting, and the scene is straightforward, the music really is annoying. The sex starts with reverse cowgirl, and it's somewhat vanilla in nature. It's just straight forward, with a little moaning, and Byron going through his usual positions and speed framework that he has in his 20s. The set is not well lit, and Wylde is pretty, natural, and seems to be enjoying herself as the camera moves around a little bit. The music absolutely makes this scene suck, though, ugh, I'd rather not have music to be honest.Thetwo continue through different positions, and it's not a terrible scene. By the 13th minute, the music stops, and it is quite sexy, for a while, but Wylde seems to not be into it even though she moans a bit. Byron pulls out and cums onto Wylde's butt, and that's it.

We move along and we see Marc Wallice talking to Tom Byron. Wallice has lost his job and he is a but crestfallen, but tells Byron that a girl is coming and it's going to be better. That's when Christy Canyon approaches and the two guys convince her to come back to an apartment and have sex. The apartment has the same wooden walls as the other scene, only this time the trio go to a brown couch to start and have sex. Those that haven't seen Christy Canyon should know she has large breasts, long brown hair, is not shaved, and is an icon in porno. Tom Byron and Mar Wallice take turns giving oral to Christy, while a smooth jazz piece places, and she blows the two of them. The performance here is good, with Christy really getting into her role, and the guys just letting it flow with the movements that Christy gives them overall. The two take turns having sex with Christy, there's no double penetration, just doggy style, reverse doggy, and meanwhile she sucks off a guy. That's it. It's a modest scene, with simple progressions, and fans of Canyon's large breasts will delight. The music sucks, the lighting is ok, and the sex is formulaic, but Canyon steals the show with her unique body, and mannerisms. After some position changes, we finally get a money shot, and it shows Wallice cumming on Canyon's breasts, while Byron never really finishes.

We go back to the video store, and a recommendation is made.

The movie moves towards Jessica Wylde, and we see her watching a porno. She watches in the same bedroom from the first scene, and she just plays with her self for the camera while watching an old porno movie, and that's it.

The movie shifts gear again. This time giving us a new vision, with Andrea Brittian and Jessica Wylde. You've already seen Jessica Wylde, but here comes Andrea Brittain. She's a pretty looking woman, with short blonde hair, very much in the 1980s style, small breasts, light skinned pubic hair, and a calm demeanor. Wylde and Brittain start to kiss, and then go into oral, as the terrible music once again starts and loops. As far as lesbian sex scenes are concerned, this is one of the worst I've seen.

After the two women engage in sex, we are taken back to the video store. Christy Canyon and Marc Wallice lock up the store, and the two start to talk about selling more adult videos. Canyon asks Wallice to follow her, and the two end up in a backroom of the video store. It's there that the two start to talk. Christy Canyon has a blue dress on, and starts to ask Wallice to get physical, and the two start to make out a little. The music starts, and it's awful yet again. Whomever picked this music is terrible! I can't believe how awful the music is. The lighting is ok, there's a lot of shadow here, but the lighting is nicely placed, and the camera zooms in nicely through it. It's not a multiple camera thing, it's one main film camera, and the lighting leaves a bit to be desired, as the shadows are insane for this scene. The sex starts to work well enough, and it's not bad. Canyon does her thing, and Wallice is a sad sack at a few moments. He doesn't get hard at first, and then he tries to get himself hard for the sex, and eventually gets stiff enough. Canyon goes with reverse cowgirl to start, and it's good as the director decides to pull back the camera so you can see what is going on. The two continue to have sex in a backroom, and eventually Wallice finishes on the pubic hair of Canyon and that's it. It's an ok scene at best.

We go back to the video store, and this time it's Jessica Wylde talking to Christy Canyon. She wants a special video for her and her man. But Canyon tells her about the back room. The two decide to go back there, and start to make out, and then Canyon goes down on Wylde for a while. The lighting is better for this scene, and the camera stays in tight with what appears to be a fisheye lens at one point. If you like lesbian scenes, this is a good one, compared to the others in this movie. The set is ok, the floor is fine, the shadows are bad again, but the sex is adequate, and isn't too flashy, and naturally moves forward. The camera work is fine too, but the music once again horrible. As the scene continues, Tom Byron shows up, and starts to make out with Canyon as she sits on Wylde's face. Byron takes off his clothes, and starts have sex with Wylde, while Canyon guides the two, and that's it. Canyon rims Byron at one point, which is an interesting finish. Byron stays in one position mostly, and the sex is fine, Wylde seems to like the happenings, and eventually Byron cums on Wylde's butt, while Canyon plays with him a little, and that's that. The end of this movie.

I give "Video Tramp" a 2 out of 5.

Unles you're a big fan of Christy Canyon, I wouldn't recommend this movie. However, Christy Canyon fans, you'll love that she is in 3 scenes, and does get naked and has sex a lot, which is the point, right?

The Villa (2005) Review

The Villa (2005)

We are back again with another porno review, and this time we are going back to 2005. We go back 13 years to see a movie that was shot on film, and was a bit of a film within a film. In this movie, we are going to get focused on what the industry is kind of like, but in a very, cinematic presentation. There’s film grain from the start, and we get thrown into the mix within 5 minutes of starting. The movie we have selected for today is called, “The Villa” and it was released in 2005. It is part of the collection of movies that Janine did with men and women, getting away from her lesbian only content, to do men. This movie stars Janine, Jassie, Evan Stone, Julian, Haley Paige, Tiana Lynn, Vincent Vega, Nick Manning, and Dale Dabone. The dvd version of this movie has a lot of extras, but I got a no-frills review copy, so I can’t comment on that. This movie was directed by Paul Thomas, if that is of interest to any of you.

The movie starts in a large mansion. We see a young brunette talking to a director in a little black dress. The director here is Janine, and she’s talking to the woman and telling her that she has to have more than a pretty face to get involved in the industry. She then starts to dance for Evan Stone, and we get started with the first sex scene. This scene, starts with Jassie and Evan Stone playing with one another, and then move into oral sex, with Janine joining in. There’s a camera guy here that is getting filmed and that’s Julian, and he gets into the action when Janine turns her attention to him. Janine starts to blow Julian, while Jassie and Evan Stone have sex, making this a four way sex scene. This starts fair enough, but Jassie is overshadows by the veteran performers in Julian and Janine. The camera moves around a bit, but you don’t want to see what Evan Stone is doing, even though it looks like he took off his condom at one point. Fans of Janine are going to want to selfishly look at whatever she’s doing, and she moans and is more theatrical than the young one. Julian of course is jacked here, and he is in prime, while Evan Stone is also built, the two throwing down what you would expect from the vets in porn. There’s no music after the initial techno sound, and you get an interesting movement throughout the filming. There’s a roaming camera throughout, and there’s sound that shows off the movement more than anything else. The interior is lit well, the design is great, and the two guys take turns with Jassie, after a while, and you hear Evan Stone and Janine going at it again at the 14 minute mark. Mind you, there’s a lot of sex going on here, all protected, but still with lots of sound and more. You are not going to be left out wondering what is going on, that’s for sure. Before the 15 minute mark, we see dueling masturbation and Stone and Julian cum on their partners, and that’s it. Janine blows Stone after he cums, which is an incredible sight, but other than that, you’ll find that this ends as hot as it began, with dueling cocks showing off, and Janine and the vets throwing down a great scene. Jannie is the missing link here, she’s just not that good.

The scene ends and we see Janine and Evan Stone talking. They are discussing whether or not Janine wants to get involved in movie making, and she says that she doesn’t want to be involved with Gonzo movies, that she wants to be in features. She then says that she will retreat to a villa somewhere for a while, and that’s where we catch up with her next. Janine is scene at a computer, and she starts to type what her movie would be like. We then start to hear some rock music, and see a random dude jogging to what appears to be a lighthouse. Then we see Janine walking around with a hat on, and just going through a walk or something. She goes to the base of her home and picks up her mail. That’s when a random dude runs by, and Janine looks at him with a bit of intent. The rock instrumental reminds me of Soundgarden or Alice In Chains for the most part. As the movie continues, we see that Janine is having a bit of writer’s block, so she starts to imagine the jogger and starts to play with herself before bed. There’s some soft music playing, and there’s a lot of shadow in this bedroom scene. There’s an attempt at art here, not just straight forward sex, which is always a nice touch. Janine goes solo here, and that’s about it, nothing major.

Janine either goes to sleep or wakes up from a dream to find that there are three people in the villa just kissing and having a good time. A terrible looping musical soundtrack begins, and we end up seeing that it’s Vincent Vega, Haley Paige, and Tiana Lynn. Now, I’m not familiar with any of these performers. Haley Paige and Tiana Lynn look young, like in their 20s, and they have French tip nails, long hair, one is dirty brown, and the other is a little more blonde. They are completely shaved, one has large breasts and the others aren’t so big. Vega is clean shaven, latino looking, and seems to get hard fast, but the women are more interested in themselves. After some kissing, we end up getting some foreplay. Haley Paige, and Tiana Lynn start with oral, then give oral to Vega, before the trio start into the hardcore sex. The music stops during the sex, and the trio get down on a black couch. It’s not a great scene, and the women moan a bit dramatically, with Vega doing his best to keep things moving up and up. If you had an “average” porn scene, this would be it. The trio have robotic sex, and while there seems to be an attempt to squirt at around 30 minute mark, there’s nothing major going on other than your standard sex. Even Vega looks a bit robotic here, and there’s a lack of passion. Music restarts around the 31 minute mark, and things continue. This is a longer sex scene than the others, but that doesn’t make it great. The scene ends with Vega finishing o the girls, and that’s it. It’s sterile, and lacking emotion, but visually, it’s well lit, has a nice interior design, and well, it works on the level that it’s straight sex.

The scene ends and the women say that Vega can go and that the other woman can go. One woman tells two to go and then Janine shows up and helps the duo leave. Two people leave in a Jaguar, and it leaves Janine and Hailey Paige all alone.

The movie progresses, and we are taken outside where a gardener is working. Haley Paige is getting nude and feeling the pool water. Meanwhile there’s a random dude jogging, and Janine once again sees him. She offers him some water and stops him. The two talk a bit. Janine asks him if he wants to take a break. He says he cannot take a break, but maybe next week he will be around. Janine says he can definitely come back, and the movie goes back to Haley Paige in the pool. That prompts Janine to come out in a bikini and hat, and then starts talking to Paige.

There’s a lot of filler in this movie, I’m not going to lie. Janine is just meandering through the movie, and we are treated to seeing her moving through different areas. The movie moves to where Janine talks to the random dude at a spot that looks a lot like the Melody Inn near LAX. At around the 45 minute mark there’s a bit of a sex scene, but I’m not sure who it is, it’s not Haley Paige, but it’s a lot of close ups featuring a young waitress and a dildo. But that’s short lived as Janine keeps trying to hit Nick Manning. When Janine sees that Tiana Lynn wants in on the sex she runs away from Manning, and says that she’s not interested in him anymore. Manning goes back to the bar and that’s where Tiana Lynn is waiting for him. Either way, Paige has small breasts, reddish brown hair, and Manning is built and thin overall. The sex is fine, with the two getting oral first, then around the 55 minute mark Tiana Lynn squirts, which is interesting, but manning is just odd, and goes nuts as he drops a load. HE’s like a cartoon in this movie. He makes a lot of noise, and I laughed at the whole thing.

We go back to the Villa and that’s where we see Haley Paige and Janine. They end up in the shower together, and the starting point is lesbian sex, which is normal, I guess, it’s nothing crazy, I can’t complain. It’s slow moving, and Janine looks far older than Paige. Paige and Janine have lesbian sex in a very nice shower, with techno music going on. There’s a lot of kissing, and a lot of fingers used in this complete solution. A dildo shows up at around the 1 hour mark, which is somewhat good I guess. This is a teaching moment more than anything else, and honestly, it’s not a bad scene, but it’s far from what I thought it would be overall. I appreciated the sequence enough, and while it’s well lit, it has some interesting moments, it’s really just somewhat robotic at times. There’s no passion. Oh well.

We move to another scene, and this time we see Haley Paige swimming in the nude when Nick Manning shows up. Nick Manning is a cartoon performer. Haley Paige and Nick Manning start having sex, and it appears to be a part of Janines fantasy more than anything else. He reminds me of the dude that replaced Dirk Diggler in “Boogie Nights”. He’s loud, he’s demanding, and he is like a cartoon to me. “That’s it baby, suck, yeah suck”, is not sexy. He’s built, has a medium sized penis, and yells at times. “YEAH!”, is not something you want to see from a random dude. He moves through the motions of sex with Haley Paige, and I can honestly say that this is the first scene that actually is good with Paige genuinely enjoying the sex, and Manning throwing down some serious edge at around the 1 hour 13 minute mark, which is impressive considering he plays it like a “bro”. If you want to see a comedic moment, just watch this, Manning is hilarious, and perhaps that’s why he kept getting work? This is a parody of porn, right? Oh man, I couldn’t believe it.

There’s a point when Manning calls Janine a cunt, and then she pushes him a pool, and that’s that. He goes away.

The next day we see a gardener coming through the Villa and he starts to get led by Janine into an outdoor patio area. She starts to whisper in his ear, and the two start to make out. Janine slowly caresses him, kisses him lightly, and then the two start to take their clothes off. The gardener here is played by Dale DaBone. He’s an average looking white dude, but this is a focused scene for Janine, which starts easy enough. Dale Dabone starts to give Janine oral, the two start to make out more, and then we are off to the races with sex, including Janine taking off her sun dress. Fans of Janine, waiting for her to have sex without a condom on will get really close around the 1 hour and 21 minute mark where Dabone rubs his penis on Janine’s vagina, without insertion, but just rubbing, and getting wet. It’s an interesting play of sorts, and one that gets cut in favor of more oral. A blanket is put out, and the two start to have sex on it, but you don’t see if Dabone puts on a condom or not, which may be the director’s way of trying to hide the fact. The sex starts smooth, slow, and steady. It’s not that fast, it’s not that hard, it’s just steady and Janine seems to have fun here before she asks for him to cum on her, which he obliges, and ends the scene. The music cuts out, you just hear them have sex, and that’s the end of this scene and the movie for the most part. We go back to Janine eating cake, and looking at a computer screen, and that’s pretty much it. Janine turns in a script, and Evan Stone talks to Evan and then they just share a few moments. Janine shows off the cast, and that’s it, we get a moment where one of the women squirt, and that’s the end. Weird ending.

I give “The Villa” a 3 out of 5.

While I didn’t think it was completely horrible, and I love Janine, I felt that the performances sandwiched between hers weren’t that good. Janine makes up for it, and if you’re a fan of hers, this will be a great option to look into, but other than that, it’s not that great. It has a lot of filler and it’s not that long of a movie.
