Four vignettes set in the new service
of ride-sharing.
Actress Soverign Syre gets in Steve
Holmes’ Screwber car on her way
to an audition. She tries to practice
her lines as Holmes gets lost: “This
advance (“I can service you better than anybody”) and she is
amenable as long as “it’s going to be all about me.” The scene,
in bright sunlight on an isolated hilltop in and around Holmes’
car, has a reality and an excitement to it, as if two strangers just
decided to fuck.
Uptight Dana DeArmond gets picked up by laid-back Tommy
Pistol, sipping tea from a canning jar. (“It’s like a yoga session
in every sip.”) The scene takes an abrupt left turn when Pistol
says he’s an actor and has an audition with Dana DeArmond
and she says, “That’s me. Forget it. Audition’s off.” He pulls off
the road, hops out of the car and starts to wildly improvise a
dramatic scene. DeArmond tries hard not to break up laughing
as Pistol ramps it up—note her desperate look off camera as
she silently pleads for Vespoli to call a cut—and as Pistol keeps
spinning more and more outlandish tales, DeArmond finally
says, “Fuck it, let’s just do it. I gotta shut you up somehow,”
and starts peeling off her clothes. And he still can’t resist,
asking if she’s giving consent to this and she snaps, “I’m giving
you consent to eat my pussy.” They keep it up throughout the
sex scene, with her rating his pussy-eating “four stars” and
rolling her eyes cynically as he opens his pants. The scene is
playful and funny, with DeArmond and Pistol both trying to
take the upper hand throughout.
Religiously devout driver Chad Diamond assures his
grandmother that he’s going to share The Word with his fares,
but when libertines Cherie DeVille and Layla Price get in his
backseat they ask him, “Can you drive with boobies in your
face?” No. He pulls over and they welcome him to L.A. with a
frenzied three-way fuck-and-suck in and out of the SUV.
Finale has performer/director Vespoli as the driver of a clown
car—literally—as DeArmond, Steve Holmes and Mark Wood
get into her car in full makeup and clown suits, communicating
only with kazoos and horns until, exasperated, Vespoli
explodes, “What do I have to do to get you to SHUT UP?!??”
Jumpcut to a white room where she asks, “Where am I?” and
the clowns start to have their way with her in a scene that
INITIALLY blurs the line between consent and coercion—but
she’s on board by the time she leads the guys into d.p.’ing her.
Casual shooting and low production values, usually a
drawback, are a plus here, adding to the realism. Performers
ride the edge of sincerity and sarcasm, never edging too far in
either direction.

Casey Calvert, Bree Daniels, Others. 87 Min.
CATEGORY: DRAMA
AAAA
This moody, evocative drama stars Chanel Preston as a
wallflower who cuts loose with mellow stud Damon Dice
but then disappears, leaving her friends in a frenzy that
quickly turns sexual as they search for her on the streets
of Los Angeles. Well deserving of space in any couples
section.

Angie, Others. 127 Min. CATEGORY: INGÉNUE, FOREIGN NON-FEATURE
AAA 1/2
Emphasis on youth and apparent teen love, or at least
teen lust, gives this Euro-import a wide audience. The
almost romantic bumping of uglies should strike a chord
with anyone into straightforward couples entanglement.
Kudos to both Jessica Moore and Dolce Vita for their
portrayal of innocence.

CATEGORY: GONZO
AAA 1/2
After the initial introduction of just some friends
enjoying a BBQ, Alexis Texas (who also directs) takes
some cock for the opening scene. Next up is the
illustrious Lexi Belle having some girl/girl fun with Tasha
Reign, in front of everyone of course. All around a feel-
good, down-home fuck flick.

D: Joey Silvera. Cast: Deborah Mastronelly, Nicoly Sanches, Nina Lawless,
Toei, Name, Others. 196 Min.
CATEGORY: TRANS
AAA 1/2
An uneven but thoroughly watchable entry into Joey
Silvera’s seemingly endless collection of series featuring
comely transsexuals, this time in L.A., Brazil and
Bangkok locations. When the action shifts to L.A., cis-girl
Kassondra Raine gets “nasty” with Nina Lawless, who
pronounces her “filthy, but in a good way.”
