( Agent 69 Con’t.)
in bed with him, one cheering
him on while he fucks the other.
As DeVille luxuriates in a post-
orgasmic afterglow, Dera’s phone
rings. It’s Kassidy. She tells him
what’s going on, he tells her,
“Meet me at my family’s ranch,”
he makes an excuse to DeVille and
splits.
At the ranch, Dera pulls Scott’s
unconscious body from Kassidy’s
trunk and learns the whole story:
Video, blackmail, student, school
property, ruination. He calms
Kassidy down and sends her to
bed, then faces Scott, who calls
him her “boyfriend” and says,
“Let’s not waste any more time,”
before she pulls off his pants. Is
Dera fucking his way through the
soccer team? Is Scott delusional?
Is any of this even happening? A
tearful Kassidy running in and
yelling, “Stop it!” answers that
last question. Dera whispers to
Kassidy that Scott thinks she’s
having an affair with him, play
along, it’ll keep her quiet. The
three of them play along in a
showstopping three-way.
Their afterglow is shattered by
the entrance of a furious DeVille,
who starts throwing things and
threatens to call the police when
Kassidy grabs a gun and chases
her out of the room. Bang. Kassidy
strolls back, nude, carrying the
gun, spattered in blood, dead-eyed
stare: “I did it, Daddy. I killed
her.” Dera locks Kassidy in the
bedroom, and Scott takes charge.
“We can fix this. Get dressed. Go
get cleaning supplies, get bleach.
It’s gonna be okay.”
But it isn’t gonna be okay. Not
for Dera.
Bree Mills tops off a year of
blistering creativity with this
tour de force, scoring Best Drama
and Best Director – Feature AVN
Award nominations (directing
shared with Craven Moorehead)
plus a Best Actor nomination
for Charles Dera, Best Actress
nomination for Jill Kassidy, Best
Supporting Actor nomination for
Small Hands, Best Supporting
Actress nomination for Kristen
Scott, and also Cinematography,
Editing, Soundtrack and two sex
scenes.
Half His Age is a solid,
challenging drama that can stand
with the best plot-driven film
features of the ’70s Golden Age.
Recommended for those who can
handle the harshness.

CATEGORY: PARODY
Last year, Axel Braun created
an out-and-out sensation of
an adult movie—an increasing
rarity these days—in the form of
Suicide Squad XXX, which did a fairly
handy job of outshining its horribly
panned mainstream counterpart.
Never one to shy away from
attempting to top himself, Braun
chose for his big tentpole project of
2017 to tackle another, considerably
more core group of superheroes
from the DC universe—namely the
Justice League, whose big-screen
outing this fall has been met with
similar critical lambasting (as of
this writing, it sits at an abysmal 40
percent on Rotten Tomatoes). It’s
almost like DC is trying to make it
easy for Braun to show them up.
Either way, porn’s supreme
parody maestro has little problem
accomplishing just that, delivering
as sweeping, rollicking and utterly
fun-packed a comic book sex flick as
you could ever hope to see.
This Justice League has a slightly
different (and arguably more
fan-friendly) makeup than Zack
Snyder’s: In place of Aquaman and
Cyborg, we get the Green Lantern
and Batwoman—respectively
played with show-stealing bravado
by Xander Corvus and Charlotte
Stokely. In fact, Stokely owns her
As Wonder Woman, Romi Rain takes on almost half the cast of Justice League XXX, including Xander Corvus as the Green Lantern.
role so completely that Braun is currently putting together a standalone Batwoman feature
that will also serve as his first-ever all-girl superhero parody.
Every bit as memorable, meanwhile, are Tyler Nixon as the Flash and Romi Rain as
Wonder Woman. And in a very cool crossing of porn worlds, Dana Vespoli makes a cameo
as the title character from her own 2016 drama Lefty (from Sweetheart Video), here giving
boxing instruction (and hinted-at lesbian love) to Diana Prince/Wonder Woman.
Later, Wonder Woman has a quite explicitly depicted lesbian throw-down with
Batwoman—but her sexuality seems to be just as fluid as her dexterity with the Lasso of
Truth, abundantly demonstrated by her opening anal bout in the boxing ring opposite Green
Lantern, and a colorful climactic gangbang in which Lantern is joined by Batman and Flash—
all fully suited up—in stuffing her Wonder Holes.
Fans will be richly rewarded for picking up the two-disc JLX set, which in addition to an
array of great extras comes packaged with an entire stack of character cards and a movie
poster.
There’s plenty more to be said about this monster-scale release, but in short, like all of
Axel Braun’s major productions, it’s in a League of its own.
