The Bad Luck Betties (Vivid Alt)


Eros Zine fave Winkytiki's new Vivid-Alt film The Bad Luck Betties is in the same general category as his white-trash trailer park sexploitation saga The ReBelle Rousers, but in this one we start out with the blaring brass and savage hysteria of a classic urban '50s cautionary flick. Gangs! Everywhere! Doing bad things! It's hilarious and clever, even if its punkabilly weren't followed by a hot scene with gorgeous Marie Luv riding a cop to some retro-slide guitar good-timey country version of porno wakka-wakka music. Next up Pixie Pearl lays it on thick as a girlgang biker babe so badass she rides her hog sidesaddle with her legs crossed. Enter Marie's and Pixie's gang The Bad Luck Betties, which also includes Mika Tan, Smokin' Mary Jane and Bianca Dagger. They've got a jones to spring their arch enemy from the loonie bin so they can wreak bloody revenge, in the meantime laying down some bitchslaps to a naughty politico who's trying to bulldozer their favorite juke joint to build some crappy freeway overpass. Dude, what more do you need to know? It's fucking hilarious street gang exploitation porno, with the lavish weatherized sets and glamtrash lasciviousness that makes it every inch a gorgeous Winkytiki production. Buy it. Now.




Dana DeArmond's Role Modeling (Vivid Alt)

Dana DeArmond's second feature for Vivid Alt follows director DeArmond as she picks out some of her hottest MySpace friends and other applicants for the position of porn star -- those wide-eyed, horny starlets, and a few studs, who so frequently ask Dana "How do I get into porn?" In doing so, she goes on a cross-country trip to Baltimore, Maryland, where she picks up not-yet-on-the-bus überhotties Rory Tonic and Andy San Dimas. Then it's back to LaLaLand -- Silverlake, specifically -- to put the grabbygrab on Casper Vice, Johnny Utah and Apple McCall. Dana walks these newcomers through a host of nasty scenes with such tasties as Daniel, Alec Knight, Sascha, Jordan Ash and more; as with Dana's previous Vivid Alt flick the sex is top-notch and the witty banter between is oodles of fun. Grab this one fast if you're a DeArmond fan or just like the type of irresistible up-and-coming punk chick archetype so ably represented by San Dimas, Tonic and others.


Kung Fu Nurses A Go Go (Wicked)

Even though it's released through Wicked's "Wall-to-Wall" label, the cover of Mark Stone's Kung Fu Nurses A Go-Go indicates that it's a '70s exploitation-style flick, with fucking. It becomes fairly obvious early in the flick that it's about as Winkytiki as you could be without being directed by Winkytiki. Hey, no arguments here -- the more kung fu nurses in porn, the better.

Kung Fu Nurses a Go Go starts with Randy Spears visiting the office of a hot nurse in fetish PVC. He's exhausted; she recognizes him as a porn star and wants him to help her get into porn. She proves amply ready, and quite healthy herself, but doesn't help much with his exhaustion. The scene has the cunning lingual attentions for which Spears is known -- yum. She then prepares a second cleansing for him -- and is about to give him a major enema when it turns out she's not even supposed to be working this office. Nurse #2 shows up to evict her, and they square off in a kung fu match while Spears watches dumbfounded. It's goofy.

It gets goofier as she visits patient Marco Banderas, who doesn't speak a word of English, and vents to him, telling him about the Kung Fu Nurses A Go-Go Dance Contest before inveigling him into her web of sin by getting him to get out of bed and dance, smacking him around a little while she's at it. She gets so worked up, in fact, that she has to suck his dick, which she does skillfully. He returns the favor; they fuck; it's goofy, but sort of hot.

Once Marco's treatment is finished, Nurse #3, pissed off that she can't go to the Nurses A Go-Go dance contest, starts a kung fu match with her boyfriend. She kicks his ass and fucks him bowlegged.

Tina, a candystriper played by Nikki Kane, is next, in kung fu training with Evan Stone, who finds himself injured when she hits him too hard. He experiences bodily swelling, with which Nikki helps ably. There's some cunnilingus and a little 69-ing, then a lot of fucking.

Nikki then jumps into a kung fu match. Enema-bag and dildo fu. They stop fighting because it's time to get ready for the dance contest. Mr. Thermopoles (Nick Manning) is the proprietor of the bar hosting the dance contest; she goes to see him and get some dance pointers, but as it turns out he's the martial arts instructor at a delinquent girls' academy, so he gives her some kung fu pointers instead; and as you know, all kung fu training sessions end in sex. (Fleshbot claimed this is "the return" of Mr. Thermopoles, but I've never heard of him before, so I was less than excited about it.)

The rival candystripers dance after that; then there's all three pink ladies dancing. Some dude wanders in and wows everyone with his hot dancing, winning the contest. He insists that the Pink Ladies have a girl-girl orgy for his entertainment.

It's goofy.

It ends with a "To Be Continued." I was really on the edge of my seat, so I have to say, I'm not sure I'll be able to concentrate on anything until I find out what happens in Volume 2. Thanks, Mark Stone, for ruining my life!!!

Kung Fu Nurses A Go Go is a strange, weird, campy, reasonably fun sexploitation flick with sex scenes that didn't work for me all that well but hey, like I said, the more kung fu nurses in porn, the better. It's recommended if you are attracted to a porn movie with the title "Kung Fu Nurses A Go Go" -- fairly self-explanatory, really.

Girlgasmic (Anabolic)

I tend to have a pretty favorable opinion of Anabolic pictures; they're generally straight-ahead, well-produced gonzo porn that works pretty well. I popped Girlgasmic in the DVD player for that reason and also for the reason that I received it from Anabolic on both Blu-Ray and DVD; I had this grand sweeping scheme of reviewing both versions and comparing them, like a tech nerd. I'm not so sure I'll bother with that, now. Anyway, the third reason I checked out Girlgasm is that it features a selection of truly hot women I recognize from other titles, most notably: Alexis Love, Sativa Rose, Eva Angelina, Penny Flame, Maria Bellucci, Veronique Vega, and Sindee Jennings. Also appearing are Aline, Hannah West, Cassidy Essence, Brooke Belle, Ashley Jensen, Jaclyn Case, Holly West, Gianna Lynn… yes, since you mention it, yes in fact that is a whole lot of women. And well it should be, since it's an "all new girl orgy series." Even so, that's one biiiiiiiiiiiiig orgy, of which I approve.

I knew I was in trouble with Girlgasmic during the titles, when the clips they chose had women caterwauling to high heaven as if they were my cats demanding to be let out in the middle of the night after I'd taken a sleeping pill and stuffed earplugs in. There was also lots of dirty talk, like "Oh yeah, yeah yeah, fuck that shit, yeah, work that shit, yeah, you like to fuck that pussy? Yeah, fuck that pussy!" which, if you've ever heard women make love, is EXACTLY what they sound like (that's my sarcastic voice). Then the trouble really started, as they showed a clip of one woman facefucking another woman with a vibrator while they both moan uncontrollably -- come on, we're supposed to believe that women really do that? And that it brings them such pleasure that they start moaning hysterically? Yeah… I don't think so.

Once we get into the actual fuck scenes, there's also lots of the hissing intake of breath that women only do in porn, followed by that weird yowling sound. I am not sure what is being done here, but it does not look or sound a damn thing like sex.

If those sorts of weird noises and bizarre screen-lesbo behaviors don't bother you, it's worth noting that the women in fact are fantastically hot. The first long scene features brunettes Veronique Vega, Eva Angelina, and Alexis Love, with blondes Sindee Jennings and Brooke Belle. The pairings get mixed up and shaken around in a big long orgy scene, with lots of toy fucking, some strap on play, and the occasionally dirty talk that doesn't sound completely ridiculous, or maybe sounds ridiculous but somehow seems to work, vaguely ("You like how I take your fat pussy like a man?" being the prime example.) Then, of course (of course!!) the squirting starts.

The next scene features Penny Flame, Maria Bellucci, Sativa Rose, Holly West, Gianna Lynn -- beautiful dames all, they. Everybody joins in, and to me this scene is considerably more successful, with louder music so the yowling doesn't seem so weird. There's still lots of it. This scene is more playful and less artificial, so if you like that whole girl-girl orgy thing, maybe it's worth checking out.

Scene 3 offers up Ashley Jensen, Aline, Hannah West, Cassidy Essence, Jaclyn Case; they're hot, there's yowling, it's artificial. The truth is I don't like girl-girl titles, for the most part, because they're so insanely fake. Anabolic's Girlgasmic, for all the sizzlin' beauty of its stars, is a peculiarly well-produced and pretty-looking distillation of exactly what I hate about chick-on-chick commercial porn flicks.

Brianna Love: Her Fine Sexy Self (Evil Angel)

This flick is one of the strangest things I've watched in a while. Seems like it shouldn't be, really; it looks from the outside like it's a standard-issue showcase of Brianna Love's hottest scenes. I like Brianna Love! I should dig this! OK, well, maybe.

What Her Fine Sexy Self actually is -- well, it's a feature with mob overtones. It opens with a disturbing scene of a girl being roughed up by a badass mob dude. It quickly slides into a two-guy-on-one-girl threesome with Brianna Love, Mark Wood and some dude. Then, Brianna's suddenly on camera, telling us the story of Frankie Dapp: "I've known Franky Dapp since I was a little girl; never knew what he did, he always had something going on. He's like an uncle to me."

Who's Frankie Dapp? Fuck if I know. Oh, he turns out to be this neighborhood mobster guy who is sort of like a surrogate father to Brianna -- and he's played by old-school porn star and Fine Sexy Self director John Leslie. When Brianna lets local hoods Petey and Joe take some videotape of her being tag-teamed by them, she worries: What are they going to do with that tape? What if they put it on the internet? She takes her concerns to Frankie, and Roxy DeVille seconds them. Frankie assures her that nothing bad will happen to the tape. Whew! With that concern allayed, Brianna hooks up with Jean Claude Batiste and Derrick Pierce for an interracial foursome with Batiste's girlfriend. Thereafter, while Brianna is at the midnight movies with Petey, Roxy ends up romancing her bartender boyfriend and he eats her out on the barstool. Brianna Love happens in and sashays over to join in. Pissed off, she comes to see Frankie, she was up all night, upset that she joined in with Bulldog and Robin getting it on the night before.

Turns out Bulldog is Frankie's secret son. Drama! Sort of. Frank gives her a pep talk about staying true. Randomly, Brianna is then in a cage with an inflatable pump gag stuffed into her mouth. Huh? It comes out and is replaced by a cock. She droolingly sucks off a pair of guys and a chick with a strap-on in a scene that is very shadowy and beautiful but kinda seems to go on forever.

Sound random? It is. It's kind of like a feature, only with the story all crossed over and random and confusing. And ultimately I'm not sure the payoff is worth it, especially since as described so far the flick is ONLY AT THE END OF THE FIRST DISK. And it is a three-disk set, though admittedly one disk is the soundtrack -- more on that later.

The second disk begins with Brianna hooking up with Bernard, this guy who's been trying to pick her up through the whole first disk. He does so successfully, getting her way drunk and giggly; they stumble to Bernard's condo, where Brianna discovers that two other dudes are waiting to fuck her, too. (Huh?) I'm unclear on whether Bernard is gay and pimps for his bisexual lovers/roommates, or what. Regardless, Brianna gets cozy with the two proferred members and fucks herself while they watch. Then sucks both cocks. Then it's a four-way more watching whatever. When Bernard's done with her the other guys fuck her and come on her feet and/or face. Whoopee.

Sadly, when she's done with Bernard, Bernard and the other two guys insist that she stay and they piss on her, and beat her up when she refuses. She goes to Frankie and tells him the story. He confronts Bernard and Bernard admits to it; he then follows as Bernard takes a girl home and fucks her.

Bernard's friends show up again and they gangbang her. He tries the same trick on her, and it turns out she's a friend of Frankie's and Frankie and his friends are waiting to beat the guys up. Exciting.

Disk 2 ends with the finish of the story: Brianna loved Frankie Dapp, and is going to miss him. I guess he's dead. Not sure how that happened, or why I should care, but thanks for the news flash, Brianna.

The story of Fine Sexy Self seems like it could be awesome, but its execution is so random that I really had no idea what the point is. The sex scenes are gorgeous and hot but go on kinda long. Brianna's character name kind of flips from "Jill" to "Brianna," and I could never quite figure out why. Really, sometimes people who make porn utterly elude me.

Add to the two disks -- 3+ hours!! -- of porno the fact that Comes with a soundtrack disk, which would be less strange if the soundtrack wasn't weird and dull lounge jazz that sounds like your grandmother would tell you to turn it off because it's too f#$$!!!-ing boring.

I wanted to like this flick; I really, really did. I was unsuccessful. Sorry, Brianna (or Jill, or whoever).
