Girls of Sodom (Disc 1). 4/5 stars

Genre: straight, anal.

Formulaic with a touch of hotness.

As may have become brutally obvious, this reviewer has a definite bias towards anal action in porn. However, a lot of the "anal-themed" dvds leave a lot to be desired. This is a multi-kink film, some of which I had to guess at. Each scene begins with a woman in high-heeled boots and exotic lingerie of some sort walking up a set of carpeted stairs. They seem to have blown the budget on the wardrobe, because this totally looks like it was filmed in someone's house. The chintz sofa used in one scene is especially funny. It looks like someone's getting cornholed in your maiden aunt's parlor. So, the dressed up chick walks up the stairs, several times, with video toaster effects, and then they show her posing next to a bathtub THAT IS NEVER USED IN ANY OF THE SEX SCENES. Each girl poses with this bathtub. Most of them are also smoking in the "introductory" scene. Then, jarringly, the music cuts out, and we cut to Skeeter Kerkove (director) standing next to the girl and introducing her to the audience in a complimentary, if somewhat proprietary manner. He gives her a little kiss, dashes out of frame, and then some other guy runs up and plunges right in.

There is a very nice FMM scene, with the rare and coveted double-anal. Although this is billed as a DP movie, that only occurs in 3/5 scenes on this disc. Most of the scenes look like the actresses could use more lube, but I was happy to see that they didn't do the "gaping asshole" shot much. Tatsumi is ridiculously hot. As for the rest of the actors/actresses, they're not unattractive, but nothing worth mentioning. Katja Kassin's blowjob style, as usual, makes me cringe in terror of her teeth.

On the whole, Girls of Sodom seems like a worthwhile rental, but there wasn't much worth watching twice. Condoms are not used in this film.

(oh, and I'm extremely sorry for the delay with this review. I didn't realize I hadn't sent back a DVD, and so there was a delay in the porn schedule. The Monkey is occasionally a dumbass)

Bodies in Lotion, 4/5 stars

Genre: straight, compilation.

4 hours of slippery fun

As with all compilations, a lot of this DVD is filler, and it's unclear how the filler relates to the theme of the DVD. Any scene seems to have qualified for this DVD as long as some lube is visible somewhere. However, there are a couple vegetable-oil-wrestling scenes, a couple more restrained baby-oil scenes, and there's something for most (straight) tastes in this collection. There's a couple of all-girl 3+ scenes, some mixed threesomes (although there's no DP in the only F-M-M threesome scene), and lots of toys used. There is a lot of anal, which I liked, but which I suppose might not be a plus for everyone. The actor's bodies fall into porn norms, although it was nice to see several women with more realistic (smaller) chests. Generally, I'd call this worth the rental, but be prepared to skip around a bit.

Condoms are used in about half the scenes in this film that have cocks in them (there's enough all-girl that it was hard to keep count).
