Featured Movie: Debbie Does Dallas … Again

You see it in Hollywood all the time: remakes of classic films that reduce iconic moments to regurgitated mush. Whether it’s money, a lack of originality, the cyclical nature of pop culture or the public appetite for nostalgia that drives movie houses to revisit these films doesn’t matter. The end result is, more times than not, unspectacular if not ignominious, an exercise in imitation that smacks of mockery, not flattery. So when former porn actor-turned-porn director, Paul Thomas, decided the time was right to remake Debbie Does Dallas the natural question that rushes to the lips is: why?

By any standard, the original Debbie Does Dallas is perhaps the most endearing classic porn film of all time. Whether you measure its success by box office receipts; the subject matter; the lasting imagery the film implanted in impressionable young minds; the seemingly universal familiarity of its title in public circles; or its near-mythological status on the basis of star Bambi Woods’ mysterious (and as yet unsolved) disappearance, the film resonates like no other in adult film history. Why risk public rebuke and your directorial reputation trying to recapture the zeitgeist of a film that simply cannot be duplicated?

The answer is: you don’t.

Paul Thomas has been around the XXX block a few times. To that end he is smart enough not to try to redo a classic. What he has done with Debbie Does Dallas … Again is to pay homage to one of the all-timers, to capture the spirit of the original (albeit more updated and more cynical) without treading too far into sacred porn ground. While he should be commended for his decision, the trade-off is pretty substantial. In fact, the only obvious similarities between his film and the original are a protagonist by the name of Debbie and some cheerleading outfits.

But while the plot is noticibly different, so too is the sex. Porn has come a long way since the 70s (pardon the pun) and Thomas’ feature places requisite upgrades in the fucking department, which should appeal to fans of the genre. Interestingly enough, however, the tame-by-comparison trysts in the original probably had a far greater impact on viewers considering the world had just emerged from the Sexploitation and soft-core eras and hardcore pornography had not quite the acceptance it has today. And though it’s tough to shake the image of Christy Ford (a.k.a. Misty Winters) penetrating her vag with a candle or Bambi Woods doing her boss, Mr. Greenfield, in a sporting goods store, Thomas offers up some memorable moments of his own. There’s Derrick Pierce and Monique Alexander fucking in a casket. There’s Penny Flame as a guardian angel getting it on with Stefani Morgan (Debbie) and Evan Stone as a second angel in a Cadillac convertible. And there’s Savanna Samson in a “hell”-acious orgy with Monique, Stefani, Evan, Christian XXX and Jay Huntington, among others.

DDDA was an AVN award winner for 2007 and features the full roster of Vivid Girls in various leading and supporting roles. The film also fueled a publicity storm when cable network Showtime developed a reality show about its creation. While it can never supplant the original, it is not meant to. And if you go into this film thinking it a full-on tribute to one of the most enduring adult films of all-time as opposed to a half-cocked retread, you will find yourself truly entertained.

Featured Movie: Orgy – The XXX Championship

Orgy - The XXX ChampionshipMarc Dorcel, one of Europe’s finest adult studios, has a way of turning sex on film into an art form. Sometimes it’s even a game, as is the case with Orgy: The XXX Championship. There’s something just so erotically European about a movie in which three of porn’s top directors are asked to outdo each other with the best orgy scene they can create.

In Herve Bodilis’ “Greedy Orgy,” beautiful blonde Claire Castel is taken without warning to the home of a rich woman whose attitude and appetites are only eclipsed by her generous curves. Her unexpected hostess feeds her an éclair, has her dressed, and sends her upstairs where a huge orgy is already taking place. There are women sucking cock, couples in fetish gear, women on women, anal sex, double penetration, and other sensual delights to behold. Soon there are pairs becoming groups and partners switching. It’s so lavish and free-spirited that you almost expect to see Dionysus himself dancing ecstatically through the room, groping a tit here and an ass there; instead, there’s a voyeuristic ringmaster. Something that began in dark uncertainty for lovely Claire leads to sheer ecstasy as she seems to draw the most attention from all the other attendees – in a crowd that also includes French seductress Lou Charmelle, Romanian goddess Black Angelica, and Hungarian beauties Sabrina Sweet and Aleska Diamond, that’s truly saying something.

Christoph Clark’s “Private Orgy” takes place at a birthday sex party in a high-class brothel. More than a dozen beautiful, scantily-clad women (including Zafira, Eufrat, and Cindy Dollar) pass the time smoking and chatting while they wait for more men to show up. There’s one, and he’s obviously a smart guy to get there early. Soon the gorgeous Tarra White appears and casually inspects some of the women, just making sure they all look as enticing as possible for the johns. The madam is none other than the breathtaking Aletta Ocean and Tarra is both her assistant and her lover. They have just enough time for a quickie before the johns arrive. Once the men show up, it’s an orgy scene straight out of every horny guy’s fantasy – women riding cock while other babes gyrate like music video babes (if music videos could only be this explicit). Some of the girls decide to play with each other until more guys show up and pick them. Indoors and outdoors, every available spot is packed with pairs and small groups sucking, licking, and fucking.

“The Key Party” is exactly the kind of vignette we’ve always loved from Paul Thomas: hot sex spiced up with emotion. Gorgeous Asa Akira has agreed to attend a ’70s style key party to please her boyfriend, played by Anthony Rosano. After her initial reluctance, Asa goes through with it. They enter a mansion where such beauties as blonde Jeanie Marie and dreamy redhead Marie McCray are mingling with various guys. Up-and-cumming porn hipster Xander Corvus calls for everybody’s attention and his lady companion Raven Alexis asks the women to pull keys out of a bowl. Lucky Asa retrieves Evan Stone’s keys and they all adjourn to the lounge, where the hosts have thoughtfully provided a porno as an icebreaker. Things are going great for Asa and Evan until Evan’s lady friend (Liza Del Sierra) drags him away, protesting that he’s making love to Asa, not fucking her. Asa then finds herself with longtime industry stud Sean Michaels – not a bad trade! Meanwhile, Anthony is having a good time with wavy-haired brunette Jaelyn Fox. Most of the pairs and trios migrate to others, there’s plenty of anal and DP, and in the end, everybody leaves more than satisfied.

You’ll be able to say the same for yourself after it’s over. Dorcel lets you be the judge – who produced the hottest orgy scene? Trying to choose a favorite is very enjoyable.

Justine: Nothing to Hide 2

Though the transition from actor to director seems like a very natural one, it is certainly not an easy one. Many try and many more fail. Some, however, can gather up all the lessons learned in front of the camera and apply them brilliantly from the vantage point of the director’s chair. Even then, it usually doesn’t happen immediately. There are growing pains and learning curves to overcome as it is with anything. If, however, one is patient and persistent and can get a few breaks along the way, the magic eventually comes. For adult actor, director and screenwriter Paul Thomas, Justine: Nothing to Hide 2 is chock full of that wonderful magic.

A fairly successful Hollywood actor before his impatience (ironically) steered him into more regular work in the adult world, Thomas had loads of success as a performer, appearing in over 600 films. And though he’s now directed some 300+ films, we can assure you, at the outset, there were some stinkers in there. This 1992 release is most definitely not one of them. It is a beautiful assemblage of talent, storyline, characters and chemistry that makes it one of the all-time great porn films of 90s and possibly beyond depending on what your standards happen to be.

NTH 2 centers on Nick East and a much younger Mike Horner, a father and son who, on the surface, seem content with their sex lives. A deeper look reveals that Nick and his flame Roxanne love each other, but too much sex is not enough for her. Meanwhile, Mike is on the rebound after his wife’s death, but has grown weary of his current fling, Tianna. When Nick leaves town for a spell, Mike meets Roxanne at a sex shop where she happens to be an employee. The two hit it off and begin making plans with each other. The catch is that Roxanne does not yet know that Mike is her boyfriend’s dad and Mike doesn’t know that Roxanne is his son’s girl. The result is a bizarre love triangle full of highly believable oral delights, toy play (both vaginal and anal), massage, anal fucking, bondage and ass licking that feels less like porn movie sex and more like real people experimenting with the more pleasurable side of life.

This incredible film won the XRCO Best Film of the Year Award in 1993 as well as eight other AVN Awards, including Best Film, Best Actor (Mike Horner), Best Director and Best Couple Sex Scene. Do not miss this unbelievable classic!

Vivid’s Hottest Massages

Vivid's Hottest MassagesEveryone can relate to the need for a good muscle rub. It’s been used for years as a flirtation technique and foreplay, and it makes for some sensual sex. Vivid Entertainment understands this better than most if not all other studios. Released this year, “Vivid’s Hottest Massages” compiles some of the studio’s best rubdown scenes, spanning 1991 to 2006.

The first scene comes from “Color” (2006) and Eminem lookalike Jack Venice is with Asian hottie Kaiya Lynn. Their kissing leads to Jack tasting her pencil eraser nipples before kneading her backside, from shoulders to ass. It’s clear they’re interested in relieving tension of a sexual rather than muscular kind, and while Kaiya sucks Jack’s cock, he finger-fucks her. Several minutes later, her southern lips are wrapped around his dick instead, and Kaiya’s excitement has tripled. So has Jack’s – having brought Kaiya to her peak, he unloads on her pretty face.

Next are Asia Carrera as a reluctant masseuse and Tony Tedeschi in a scene from “Masseuse 2” (1994). Tony is a first-timer who defensively explains that it’s okay for an unhappily married man like himself to want other women and to visit hookers. Asia corrects him – she’s not a hooker because she doesn’t go beyond “locals” (handjobs). They negotiate a topless “local.” Asia gives his whole package the kind of manual stimulation men dream about. She gets so into it that she lets Tony kiss her tits – which look great in their pre-enhanced state – and even goes down on him. This scene was directed by Paul Thomas and it has the classic PT headiness that stimulates your desire through your brain, not just your crotch. It’s short but packs a big erotic punch, reminiscent of classic ’70s porn. We can see why Asia was one of the greats.

Also from 1994, “Seeing Red” gives us a scene starring Mediterranean beauty Gabrill getting a romantic, passionate massage from Randy West. Stroking of her back and chest leads to Randy stimulating her clit while she tastes and caresses his cock, and then to Randy fucking her till she cums.

Continuing the color theme, next we have a scene from “Scarlet Fantasy” (1991) starring masseuse Paula Price and customer Eric Price. He has a fantasy of going to a massage parlor, letting a hot girl rub him down, and her letting him do the same to her until they fuck. Paula lets this fantasy come true, with lots of oil making everything slick and shiny, especially her sexy pair of big natural breasts and bald pussy.

In a scene from “Savanna’s Been Blackmaled” (2006), Savanna Samson is a stressed-out businesswoman who gets a massage from Kimberly Kane and Sammie Rhodes. The innocent stroking quickly becomes a rowdy girl-on-girl-on-girl tangle of limbs. Amid shouts of pleasure, there’s some good breast play and mound munching. Savanna even licks her own nipples briefly at one point. If you like blondes and lesbians, then this scene is not one to miss.

“Masseuse 3” (1997), another Paul Thomas flick, is represented next. James Bonn is a lovesick college student seeking comfort from redheaded masseuse Melissa Hill. She climbs on and fucks him after the briefest of massages, understanding it’s his cock that really needs attention. They have sex in a couple of positions before she finishes him off with a handjob while licking the tip of his cockhead.

From “Channel Blonde” (1994) we have stunning golden-haired girls Janine (back when she had only a few tattoos) and Kelly Jaye. Kelly begins gyrating against the table in arousal as Janine sensually strokes up and down her body. Janine gets into the extended rubdown, even using the soles of Kelly’s feet to massage her lightly tan-lined tits. Then Janine mashes her boobs against Kelly’s, playing with her tongue. Now that they’re both worked up, they eat each other out on the massage table. Ah, relief!

Lucy Lee is kneading the tension from John Strong’s muscles as a scene from “2 Dollar Bill” 2005 begins, but the action quickly cuts to John vigorously fucking Lucy’s throat. She takes it like a champ, going deep and working magic with her pierced tongue. Whereas the other scenes tended toward the more sensual side of hardcore, this ends the movie with a rougher and faster-paced tone.

Interview: Director Paul Thomas

Interview by Corva Siouan

Throughout a porn career that has lasted over 35 years, Paul Thomas has racked up more than 600 titles as a performer and over 325 as a director. The word “legend” is used often when describing him and rightly so. Last year Thomas left Vivid Entertainment after almost 25 years of directing for them exclusively, and last July he signed a six-picture deal with Larry Flynt’s LFP Video. Thomas moves into a new and different phase of his career at age 63.

Born Philip Toubus on April 17, 1947 in Winnetka, IL, Toubus found mainstream acting success on Broadway with a starring role in Hair and played Peter in the 1973 film of Jesus Christ Superstar. He signed with the William Morris Agency, moved to Hollywood, and landed roles in TV shows such as “Mannix” and “Police Story.”

Frustrated with competition and impatient for success, Toubus grew disenchanted with mainstream Hollywood. While in San Francisco performing in a musical, he met the famous Mitchell Brothers (“Behind the Green Door”) in 1974. It was the height of porno chic and Toubus found the adult industry appealing, so he began appearing in film loops for the Mitchell Brothers. In 1976 he did his first XXX feature, “The Autobiography of a Flea,” which was based on an 1887 erotic novel. Through the ’70s and ’80s, Toubus was one of the perennial porn studs. He mainly used the name Paul Thomas (aka PT), but aliases included Grady Sutton, Russell Ellison, Phil Tobias, and Paul Tanner. Thomas mostly stopped performing after he began directing in the mid-’80s, although he has appeared in non-sex roles.

Thomas is the most award-winning director in the industry, with spots in the AVN, XRCO, and Legends of Erotica Halls of Fame as well as countless trophies for his individual works. In the last decade alone, he’s won Best Director and Best Film at AVN five times each. Thomas’ mainstream notoriety includes the Showtime series “Deeper Throat,” which documented the struggles he and Vivid had with remaking “Deep Throat” as 2008’s XXX murder mystery “Throat: A Cautionary Tale.”

One of Thomas’s recent films is “The Twilight Zone Parody,” released this past August by Paul Thomas Presents and Hustler. We spoke with him about his past, his present, and his future.

“The Twilight Zone Parody” takes a different approach to parody from most, which are simply copying plots from the original.

This actually was based on a “Twilight Zone” episode called “Monsters on Maple Street,” but instead of swingers moving into the neighborhood they were aliens. It is a different approach… I don’t like to be silly. I don’t think silly makes good pornography, I don’t think silly makes good eroticism, and I didn’t want to have to copy characters. I copied a style and I copied a tone and an era, even, but I wanted to have to copy as little as possible. My heart’s not in the parodies, what can I tell you. If it’s successful I’ll do another “Twilight Zone.”

Featured Studio: Cal Vista Pictures

As a top producer of sensual, couple-friendly porn since the 1970s, Cal Vista Pictures has been home to some of the best XXX features of recent decades. The studio, a line from industry powerhouse Metro Media Entertainment, continues to release great new plot-based porn titles that seem destined to become future classics.

The latest release is “Blu Dreams 2,” a totally stunning collection of female fantasies that achieve the heights of ecstasy for performer and viewer alike. Just over two hours long, it features scenes from twelve of today’s most beautiful women in porn, seducing you through the screen while they reveal their hottest sexual dreams. There are lots of masturbation titles around, but this one will blow you away.

Summer 2010 saw the release of “Alice,” an unforgettable, must-see hybrid of eroticism, art, and adult humor. It’s a retelling of the Lewis Carroll “Alice” stories with an appropriately skewed perspective. Director Erica McLean found the perfect hardcore Alice in Sunny Lane. Don’t let the fact that it’s a feature fool you into thinking these scenes are tame – far from it! Sunny has three phenomenal scenes with some of the industry’s leading men, including an inspired Evan Stone as the Mad Hatter.

Those are just the latest in a long line of Cal Vista titles that go above and beyond the currently wall-to-wall sex norm. For years, the studio has been putting out movies that will especially appeal to couples. In 1993 a Paul Thomas feature for Cal Vista called “Justine: Nothing to Hide 2” won acclaim and awards, including XRCO’s Best Film of the Year, thanks to its signature Thomas blend of emotional depth and gorgeously filmed sex scenes.

A year later, Cal Vista released “Zazel,” a blockbuster adult feature that won seven AVN Awards and inspired knockoffs. Visually groundbreaking in its day and still stunning today, “Zazel” is packed with beautiful Penthouse Pets in mostly girl/girl action but it ends with a scene that includes anal and DP for those who’d like something harder. When the Pets appeared in “Zazel” it was the first time most of us got to see them doing anything remotely hardcore, so it was a turn-on to see them in action.

In April 2000, the feature “La Femme Chameleon” brought together an interesting plot, some porn legends, and more visually stunning filmmaking, resulting in a great couples movie that got the AAAA rating from AVN. A married couple discovers that the wife has developed an intriguing condition that causes her to morph into a different woman after each orgasm, meaning that the hubby gets to fuck such babes as Nina Hartley and the late legend Anna Malle before it’s all over.

Cal Vista Pictures continues to make us all hot and bothered with some of the finest erotic imagery ever caught on film. Guys, get your girls to watch a CVP title with you and you just might find she does like watching porn after all!

The Twilight Zone Porn Parody

There are several components that go in to making a truly fantastic and well done movie. Aside from having a stellar cast, once must have inspiration, an imagination, and the ability to create a seemingly real life series of moments from a false reality. But when it comes to legendary adult film director, Paul Thomas, not only are each one of those elements fully present in every piece of work that he creates, but the way in which he manifests his concepts and ideals in to a visually striking and ethereally erotic piece of art is what sets him well apart from all the rest.

The Twilight Zone Porn Parody, is Paul Thomas’ first title to be distributed by LFP Video. In what the critics have called “suspenseful” and “visually striking,” Paul Thomas has constructed a parody of The Twilight Zone that rivals the original. Set in a distant era of cocktails with lunch, and gender-specific roles, biblical virtue found itself being challenged by a couple of new neighbors, whose penchant for earthy carnal pleasures dominate the archaic and self-suppressing morals practiced by the rest of the town. In a quest to uncover the mystery behind the new family, known as The Stones, Kimberly Kane finds herself drawn in and seduced by the enticing and mystifying lifestyle known as swinging.  Also starring Jessica Jaymes, Jack Lawrence, Kylie Reese, Eric Swiss, Chayse Evans, Evan Stone, and Eric Masterson.

“This is a very different type of parody film for us,” said director of operations for LFP Video, Rob Smith. “Hustler is very excited to be working with the eminent director, Paul Thomas, on this project, and we know that The Twilight Zone Porn Parody will be wildly successfully. I can’t wait to see what PT has up his sleeves next.”
