Newseater - Adult Edition

The cover of “Icon” informs us of two very important things. The first is that Hillary Scott is “just a girl with a dream”—what, precisely, that dream is is not explained, but we suspect that it has something to do with cocks. Secondly, the cover informs us that an icon is “one who is the object of great attention and devotion.” We believe this is what’s known as “foreshadowing.”

Throughout the three hours of the feature, you see, Hillary Scott is adored and devoted (sexually, even!). In at the spa, in a dungeon, in a theater, with girls, with boys, with both, in her pussy, in her ass, and sometimes both at once—it’s all about Hillary (even in the middle of an orgy, the girl still manages to steal all the focus). And when it’s not about Hillary fucking, it’s about Hillary making a movie: in between the sex scenes, we’re treated to scenes of Hillary and her crew making the movie. You see, Hillary’s not just an icon because she knows how to fuck; she’s an icon because she knows how to make fuck films.

There is also a music video about halfway through the feature, we’re not quite sure what it has to do with Hillary Scott, iconography, or fucking, so you should probably feel free to skip over it in search of sexier fare.

Should you find yourself unsatisfied by the three hour feature alone, there are three (three!) extra discs included in the package for extra titillation. What, pray tell, is the content of these discs? Special features contains standard fare (behind the scenes footage, a music video, trailers, and photos), bonus discs one and two are loaded up with scenes from other movies Hillary has been in. See, Hillary isn’t just an icon because she made a three hour epic porn: she’s an icon because she’s been in many other fuck films, too!

Really, the only question that one need ask is this: “Do I like Hillary Scott?” Because if the answer is yes, this DVD is a must have. And if it’s not, well—we’re sure they’ll come out with “Sasha Grey: Icon” sooner or later.

If you have a soft spot for submissive women and a hard spot for dominant ones, you will love “O2: The Surrender of O,” Ernest Greene’s self-described “fan-fiction” updating of the classic 50’s sexploration of O, the woman who learned that sometimes the best freedom was the right kind of slavery. Read our review of the movie after the gap.

O2: The Surrender of O

“We hate to be wet alone,” says Marie (Nina Hartley) of her new, incorrigible slave O (Bree Olson). “(But) we don’t punish because they’re bad, we punish because it’s fun.”

Marie and Mistress Nicole (Nicole Sheridan) are co-dominatrices in a clean industrial space to which O has hied herself to begin masturbating without permission. And this is not allowed.

In the rarefied world of O2, director Ernest Greene’s “fan fiction” updating of characters from Anne Desclos’ “The Story of O” (and the sequel to 2006′ O: The Power of Submission), everything requires permission and everything has rules. But the consequences are supposed to be fun.

So what happens in a D/s relationship when things aren’t fun anymore?

Before we get to that, let’s talk about Bree Olson and Carmen Luvana.

In the original, former Adam & Eve flagship contract star Carmen Luvana played the title character as Carmen Luvana herself is; a steely, no-nonsense sweaterminx who was all machine-crafted porn-star curves. Olson inhabits the role in a far-more cushiony way. It is easy to believe the sub in her. In fact, as the stern (but fair) Hartley and the Amazonian Sheridan put O(lson) through her paces, hanging her upside down, smacking tantalizingly close to her most secret places, O looks like a delicious and yielding piece of dough beside the two more angular ladies.

“You don’t have to see the first one to get the story,” director Greene says. But I get the feeling Adam & Eve would like you to. The first movie made a lot of money and still brings in a fair amount of cash each month, which is unheard of for a porn movie from two years ago (which is a much better way of saying “a two-year-old porn movie”).

The sequel finds our heroine still in love with the man she left behind, having even lasered off his tattoo from her tramp stamp area. But can she keep away? And will Marie be her enabler?

O is a sexual tourist, a servant of many masters, and the story of O is what constitutes fidelity in the master/slave relationship.

So the movie opens with this zesty little scene in which Olson is nothing but a willing plaything to Marie and Mistress Nicole. And this is fine. BDSM purists will love it as will fans of Hartley, Sheridan, and Olson, each of whom represents a body type characteristic of the generations of Porn in which she started.

But after her workout, Olson and Hartley start talking (Sheridan has been dispatched to In-n-Out Burger, where she will return with a bagful of Double Doubles that the ladies will wrestle in for the O sequel in my mind). As in real life, Hartley as Marie plays an impish mentor, suggesting to O that her “maintenance doses” of whupping might not be enough to scratch O’s itch.

“Why don’t you come up to the house?” says Marie.

The house! If there had been a budget for it, we would have flashed back to 2006 and the strange events at The House, a full-immersion “lifestyle” chateau in which masters, mistresses and their servants live their roles unfettered by aspects of common living like phone bills, nosy relatives, and Jehovah’s Witnesses. It was here that O’s character was swapped between the imperious Steven and his tragic brother Ray, and where O broke Steven’s heart.

The house!

O swallows her fear and makes the drive, and in a quick montage sequence that would have made Stephen J. Cannell rethink his career, she gets herself gussied up for the experience, removing underthings, self-shackling handcuffs, etc.

At the house, O meets Rita (Mika Tan) and Regina (Kayden Kross), who let her know that Marie is the prime mover in the operation, not the fellows whom she lets think are in charge.
“It’s a quite profitable business,” Regina says. “For us.”

But wouldn’t that make me a whore? we hear O thinking.

“Don’t even say it,” Rita says.

Now it’s time for more sex. For someone who so clearly looks like the late-model porn star, Kayden Kross sure works hard for her money. Unlike Olson, who looks the part of a welcoming sub, the porn-glamorous Kross must convince us that she really likes what she’s doing, and she does this in a post-shaving interlude with Erik Everhard. She and the Canadian Everhard engage in some cross-border trucing that is all about the north/south reconciliation and not about fisheries.

But things are going tough for O. Not only is Steven downstairs making Tan and Ava Rose do terrible, wonderful things, but his prodigal half-brother Ray (Tommy Gunn) also just checked in. O is distraught, and Rita dutifully runs to tell Marie. It’s a goddamn henhouse with buttplugs in there.

“Oh, poor O,” says Marie when Rita tells her the news, as if Marie couldn’t have prevented all this potential heartache. Like God, a dominatrix always wants to take the credit for the good times, but when things go south, it’s all about your personal responsibility.

Anyway, after watching O endure encounters with both cold Steven and hapless Ray (the brothers have a scene together - in which they talk - where I almost forgot I was watching a porn movie, save for Kayden Kross’ ass), puppetmistress Marie orchestrates a reconciliation between O and Steven. She even gives the soon-to-be-couple a ring with the inscription “Freedom is deciding whose slave you want to be.”

At this point I was wondering “what gives you the right, Marie?” when O said those very words on screen.

“I don’t,” says Marie. “But, like everything I have in life, I took it.”

So not only does O2 illuminate and glorify good D/s relationships as healthy partnerships between thoughtful people, it also validates Marie’s unsettling compulsion to meddle. This domme is topping from the side.

While now and then a performer seems to struggle with the lines he has been asked to deliver, my only real problem with this movie is that it looks like it deserved more money. It was like having to watch Lawrence of Arabia on a little black and white TV.

Regardless, as a sex film, as a lifestyle documentary, and as a flesh-packed, English-language telenovela, O2: The Surrender of O is, like its predecessor, another porn movie that transcends its genre. Come for the Nina, stay for the Bree.

Remember that curiously skin-free teaser for “Pirates II”? Well, a mere year and a half after turning on the hype machine for what some believe is the most eagerly anticipated pirate-themed porn megaspectacular ever, Digital Playground has finally released a real trailer — and, unlike the aforementioned teaser, it doesn’t totally suck! (Or at least gives you a better idea that this is a porn movie and not someone’s AfterEffects experiment.) With practically everyone in the adult industry and their mother getting banged in this movie, there’s bound to be at least one scene that’ll turn your crank—and for that reason alone, we’re sure “Pirates II” will prove to be worth the wait. (Well, that and seeing how those squillions of dollars that were sunk into its production were put to use.) Experience the magic after the jump.

No, the delightful Ava Rose is neither dead, nor ailing, nor leaving the porn industry. But she and studio Adam & Eve, for whom she was a contract performer (along with Bree Olson and Kayden Kross), did decide not to renew their deal just as a spate of Ava Rose movies—including this one and the forthcoming “Rollerdollz“—was hitting the market. But I couldn’t let Rose’s homage to Jenny Fields go unnoticed in this unfortunate press vacuum. It would violate my “First, Do No Harm” oath.

“Moan where it hurts,” suggests Rose to Marco Banderas, grunting in an Iberian delirium. Pinpointing the source of distress, she proceeds to soothe the fuck out of it.

In fact Banderas, who just moments before had been an incoherent and immobile mess, soon regains his strength enough to pay off his hospital fees - with his parts!

“You must be feeling a whole lot better,” Rose notes at the end.

“Oh yeah,” Banderas says, having learned English in his recovery.

Looking like a postwar bride from a country I wish existed, Roxy Jezel has an assimilated tryst with Marco Banderas in the stylish “Pinup Perversions.” Is he her husband? We don’t know. Is she committing adultery on the kitchen floor of her suburban home of the future? We don’t care. When a bouffed-up Aiden Starr comes by later and squirts her with a seltzer bottle, we can only wonder what Doris Kearns Goodwin would have made of this vision of American progress.

Director Laurent Sky puts together four scenarios of rouged but ready 40’s-era pinups in a good example of high concept porn that does not get in its own way.
