Sheena Shaw: Ultimate Anal
Queen lives up to its title by putting
Shaw and her anal actions front-
and-center for three scenes
spanning two hours, aided and
abetted by supporting cast
Sophia Burns, Rebel Rhyder,
Brickzilla, Richard Mann and
director/performer Jonni Darkko,
with fisting, A2M and gapes
aplenty, plus a double-anal with
Darkko and a dildo. Nominated
for Best Star Showcase at the
2025 AVN Awards, this is a must
for her fans and a must-see for
fans of anal.

Consider this a tribute to
past mainstream theatrical
releases. It begins with
Episode 1, “Lucid Instincts,”
where, as the sexy suspect
in a murder, Kimmy Granger
“basically” uses her mind
and body to easily seduce
detective Seth Gamble. In
Episode 2, “Lucid Things,”
Gamble is part of a criminal
ring with Charly Summer
and Jill Kassidy. Episode 3’s
“Lucid Morning” has Aidra
Fox doing her best Audrey
Hepburn, and new neighbor
Gamble, once seeing her,
has a case of morning wood.
Gamble gets a “raging”
hard-on for Gianna Dior in
Episode 4, “Lucid Bull.”

Up Close lives up to its
name from frame one, with
a tight-verging-on-intrusive
close-up of Bella Rolland.
She chats with Robby
Apples as they lie on a bed,
and things escalate slowly.
Myra Moans giggles that
she’s looking forward to
losing control to Oliver Davis,
and Alison Rey confesses
that she’s nervous because
she’s not used to being
the center of attention and
she hasn’t worked with her
scene partner Alex Jones
before. A good value for
seasoned consumers of
adult material and a sure bet
for fans of the performers.
The opening of each
segment is a bit strange. Two
girls are seated and talking
to one another as though
to inform an audience. They
talk, scripted, in the past
tense, about themselves,
how they met, and more.
It is obviously done to give
the viewer a pre-sex story,
but sometimes it comes
across as disconcerting,
like two people talking
about two other people
rather than a conversation
between the two on screen.
Kind of bizarre. Fortunately,
once they lip-lock and start
sucking and grinding, the
action speaks for itself—
quite well, actually.
