Being Riley
editor’s choice
AAAA 1/2
Tushy/Jules Jordan Video
JulesJordanVideo.com
Director: Greg Lansky
Cast: Riley Reid, Aidra Fox, Mick Blue,
Manuel Ferrera, Rob Piper, Erik Everhard,
James Deen; Richie Calhoun (Non-Sex
Role). 200 Min.
Category: Anal, Drama, Star Showcase
Riley Reid crosses the anal threshold once with Mick Blue
(right) and again with Manuel Ferrara and Aidra Fox.
When choosing the centerpiece of a star showcase, it
always helps to pick one who really shines. That’s
certainly true of Riley Reid, whose carefree every-girl
manner is ideally suited for this tale about a small-
town girl who finds lust and happiness in Los Angeles.
She starts out in rural exile; it may be confining,
but it’s as beautifully shot as the rest of this movie
directed by Tushy.com visionary Greg Lansky. Within
no time Riley has left behind her conservative
hometown and conventional boyfriend (Richie
Calhoun in a non-sex role) to come live with old
friend Aidra Fox, who’s living it up in L.A. The rest
of the movie unrolls in a series of beautifully shot
sex scenes in which the quintessentially appealing
brunette gets her sexual mojo back, sailing through
well-appointed sets with visuals enhanced by an
elegant soundtrack.
The first interlude is the softest: a girl/girl scene
with Reid and Fox that starts in a bathtub, with he
cool hues and soft sounds of water intensifying the
sensuality. But this being a Tushy.com production, the
end game is anal sex—a first for Reid. She does the
deed with Mick Blue, AVN’s reigning Male Performer
of the Year, whom she visits in his ritzy penthouse,
perched high above the city. The view is to die for, but
porn fans will be much more interested in watching
Reid cross the anal threshold at long last.
The remaining three scenes are also anal: a
threesome with Reid, Fox and Manuel Ferrara; Reid’s
interracial hookup with muscular hottie Rob Piper;
and, in a suitable finale, a double penetration. The last
scene shows Reid having come full circle in her new
life; talking to her good friend Aidra, she describes
how her new boyfriend (James Deen) brought home
a friend (Erik Everhard) to make one of her fantasies
come true. The scenario clearly turns Aidra on as
well, and as the credits roll up, it’s clear that Reid’s
adventures will roll on.

Black Snake Oil
editor’s choice
AAAA 1/2
Aiden Starr Corp./Evil Angel
EvilDistributor.com
Director: Aiden Starr
Cast: Dahlia Sky, Layla Price, Gabriella Paltrova,
Sarah Shevon, Mickey Mod. 131 Min.
Category: Anal, Interracial
Gabriella Paltrova (left) and Sarah Shevon (right) ride the black
snake in Aiden Starr’s all-IR-sex extravaganza.
All-interracial and all-anal passion shines
through in Aiden Starr’s Black Snake
Oil. Starr cuts right to the chase when
the first scene starts. Sarah Shevon and
Mickey Mod, the lucky guy in every
scene, are already naked, oil is already
open and they are both ready to go—
they even say so.
There’s no fluff in this movie;
no padding, no story, no music, no
dialogue that isn’t genuinely spilling
out of the performers’ mouths. This is an all-sex extravaganza
that showcases the stars and the intense sex from every single
one of them. Utilizing part POV and part standard angles,
Starr makes sure to highlight all the right stuff.
Shevon opens the movie and gets greased up fast. It’s
mixed with a little BTS because Shevon is unclear where to
look, and it’s charming to see her and Mod so relaxed and
candid before they enjoy what this is really all about. Mod
makes sure Shevon is ready before going in the backdoor, and
everyone on set can tell that there’s nothing fake about the
hardcore orgasm she gets, because the high definition leaves
little to the imagination when it’s focused on her throbbing
pussy while Mod is deep inside the more, or nowadays less,
taboo hole.
BTS has its place in each scene, and in the one featuring
Dahlia Sky, more time is focused on her beautiful body. It’s
a non-typical tease, and it’s not long before she’s oiled up,
too. Starr remains a part of the action as she dictates and
directs the performers, only enhancing an amateur feel to an
otherwise professional scenario. Dahlia is gorgeous and has so
much fun cock-sucking, it’s almost too sweet ... almost. Layla
Price does what she does best and filth ensues, and Gabriella
Paltrova is flat-out ridiculous start to finish. She’s bubbly and
filthy as always, and it’s obvious she is as pumped for Mod
to snake her out as she possibly can be. The bookends of the
movie are simply perfect.
As far as interracial titles go, it’s different enough from a
lot of what’s out there, but the fucking is explosive.
