America's 10 Most Wanted

Tom Stone, Mr. Ensenada

who's in it (well I'll try here)

Margo Stevens (2), Vivienne, Bridgette Belle, Crystal Knight,
Felecia, Nici Sterling, Avalon, Coral, Anita Blonde, Jenny Fields,
Jill Kelly, Leanna Hart


    Tom Stone/Mr. Ensenada is one of the few guarantees of
quality out there for dare we call it "mainstream tastes".
For those of you who grew up with fantasies of Playboy centerfolds
coming to life and taking facials, this is it. Settings are
immaculate and luxurious. The women and most of the men look very
good in that unblemished, slightly production line sort of way.
The photography is excellent and the scenes actually seem to be
directed. Think of it as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue
gone hardcore.

     Ten Most Wanted is no exception and appears to be Odyssey's
attempt to make a statement. They ran a long Burma Shave style add
in AVN. There are more scenes here (10 complete scenes is
something of a record for non-compilation porn), all the women are
very hot, every hetero scene ends in a facial. Clearly the company
wants someone to pay attention to this one and I would guess they
want it to boost interest in its two similar series, Pickup Lines
and Peeping Tom. One bit of evidence for this is the fact that
between scenes they run trailers for the two series that amount to
montages of the hotter shots from each. Trust me, it's not quite
as annoying as it might sound. The result of this statement movie
is something like the Dream Team in bsketball. It makes the rest
of the competition look pretty mortal. Pretty much any of the
women in this video's 10 scenes look good enough to do box covers.
My quibble is the result is also a bit formulaic and uninspired.
Nonetheless, you have to wonder if anyone will ever put this much
value into a single X-rated movie again.


Scene review.

     Part of Stone's strategy seems to be to rotate the girls  but
to start building up something of a star system at the same time.
Lately, he's been using Margo Stevens to anchor his movies. Ten
Most Wanted follows the Pick Up Lines formula here, though scenes
are cut a bit shorter to stay within the 2 hour length of a VHS tape with
10 scenes and two sets of previews.
     Essentially, Margo's a hotter version of say a mid-level Vivid
girl.She's blonde, shapely, enthusiastic. From certain angles, you
could imagine her on the cover of mainstream magazines. In a
       departure from Stone's other series to make scenes seem
a bit more personal, this one puts the girl's name, measurements,
and supposed favorite sex act up on
titles leading into each scene. Since all the women in this movie
fit the mainstr eam ideal, the measurements become a bit tedious.
They're all within an inch or so of the supposed ideal of 36-24-
36. All are alleged to be between 20-25. We're talking
Stepford porn here, not that there's anything wrong with that. It doesn't
make me long for Trailer Trash Sluts, the Bigger the Better, or
Grannies go Gyno.
     A naked Margo gets out of her Corvette, runs up the stairs of
some post modern mansion, joins a young man in bed. In this one,
Margo establishes the movie's  basic scene.In this case its
cunnilingus, fellatio, intercourse in
a variety of positions, kneeling facial, lingering shot on girl's
face after facial, where she smiles or plays with cum.
I like Margo a lot but because I've never seen her talk in a
movie, she doesn't project a sense of individual sexuality say
like Taylor Hayes.Stone's style doesn't exactly allow his scenes to
take on this added dimension that gets beyond the eye candy thing.

#2  Bridgette Belle

     This one's outdoors on a chaise lounge. Similar choreography.
Bridgette Belle is a very cute natural looking bruneette. Because
the screen titles list favorite sex acts, you tend to expect this
particular part of the scene to be especially hot. Unfortunately,
while the act at least happens in the scenes, there's no
particular attempt to make the identified preference seem any
hotter than anything else. Too bad, it takes away from the reality
feel of the screen titles. Anyway, very good scene.

#3 Felecia, Crystal Knight
     I'm not much of a g/g watcher, but these scenes do give this
movie a little more variety. Felecia always seems to give a sense
that she's into what she's doing. This one's no exception. Crystal
Knight is a very attractive new black actress.

#4 Avalon, Coral,
     basic girls in bikinis for photographer scene. Avalon looks
good in flourescent lime suit. For some reason, all Stone scenes
seem to take place in bright daylight. Avalon and Coral, an
interesting looking brunette do the g/g thing. Photographer joins
in, they go inside and finish. Photographer, magically appears
naked in mid-scene. Coral carefully avoids the b/g stuff.Avalon's
pretty hot here, good facial, the three way stuff looks a bit
confused though.

#5 Vivienne
     A more ethnic looking version of Bridgette Belle. She walks
naked into yet another mansion finds a guy and they do it. Didn't
watch the scene that closely I'm afraid.

#6 Anita Blonde, Jenny Fields
     Anita Blonde, I think I called her Anita Dark in one of my
other reviews, does the g/g thing with an attractive brunette.
Fair amount of dildo stuff, 69.

#7 Leanna Hart
     Very cute brunette who had not such a good boob job.
Cameraman does as good a job as I've seen of not lingering too
much on her too big for her frame breasts.Leanna finds some guy on
a picnic blanket. Very good tender oral scene, lots of Leanna
looking at the camera. Oddly the scene announces that she likes
straight sex which isn't done badly either. Good doggie. Good
facial. One of her best scenes, post breast job.

bunch of previews of Peeping Tom

     by now I see the difference between this and its sister
series. There's no Peter North in this one. Nothing against the
human gusher, but I'm not complaining.

#8 Jill Kelly
     The hot tub scene. This is the first Jill Kelly scene, I've
seen post breast implant. Like many others, I thought her body was
pretty much perfect  before.  As these things go, it could have
been a whole lot worse. Sometimes knowing too much about someone's
real life gets in the way of enjoying their performances. I can't
watch John Travolta movies without thinking about L. Ron Hubbard.
I can't watch Jill Kelly without thinking Susan Faludi and the
New Yorker. That said, this is one of her hotter scenes.
     She does a good oral scene here and then they leave the hot
tub to do some really inspired standing fucking poses. Some very
good shots of Jill Kelly from behind. They don't focus on the
new breasts too much, but they're big, have that natural sag look
that they've started to work in, but not offensively big. She
looked better without them, but... Scene ends with a facial where
she does most of the work with her mouth.

#9  Nici Sterling
     Poolside scene with her husband. Includes anal. Just one of
my quirks, but I'm not much of a Nici Sterling fan. I'm one of
those rare Americans who's turned off by English accents. She
looks fine, though perhaps a little too stretched taut, she's
maybe a bit too enthusiastic (feels too much like an act to me).
It's kind of strange because she looks very much like Lori
Michaels, the star of the earlier Pick UP lines and the woman
who's facials pretty much sold me on the series. I like Lori's
non-Vivid work. I don't like Nici. Oh well. I'd probably like Ben
Dover a whole lot better if it weren't for this utterly irrational
quirk of my taste. Sorry Nici and Oscar. I suspect most others
would like this scene.

#10 Margo and Vince Voyeur
     Margo is topless and driving a wave runner. She catches up to
Vince on his sail boat. The titles say she likes to swallow, but
that doesn't happen here (sorry about the spoiler). Long oral
scene. Margo's very good at it. Nice transition shot of the blow
job from outside the boat window. Bunch of positions, nice slow
pace, kneeling facial. Cum drips from Margo's chin at the end.
movie ends.

more ravings:
     You know how De Tocqueville said that the measure of a
society is the state of its prisons? I sometimes wonder what would
happen if some advanced beings came down and asked to check out
our porn to see if we're an advanced species. I think I discovered
porn at about the same age I first read Vonnegut/Kilgore Trout so
the Slaughterhouse 5 thing is kind stuck there in my libido.
     I think if they found Robert Black or Max, they'd probably
decide they'd rather go talk to dolphins. Ed Powers, Rodney Moore,
or even Mike South, they might think our technology was still too
primitive, and in the case of Ed and Rodney have some questions
about whether or not our species was sufficiently attractive.Paul
Thomas would lead them to think that we don't find sex very
interesting.
     Right now I'd take my   chances with the aliens with Odyssey
along with Ultimate, Seymore, Stagliano, and John Leslie on his
less kinky days. No one's pretending to do anything arty, but
 Stone's stuff, Shane's series, and Private are
all evolving.
        Should we show the aliens 10 Most Wanted, they'd see that
we're at least advanced visually, that we like good looking
people who seem to enjoy sex as a sensual mutually pleasurable
act. No bizarre additives , no overlay of guilt or compulsion to push
sexual limits simply for the sake of shocking viewers.
While it's clearly male point of view porn, I think that women
would at least find it watchable (not sure about the facials, but
that seems to be one of the things that defines 90's porn and I
admit that I like them at least in the movies. One of those things
that is more fun to watch than do.)  Anyway, should
some future Contact request that we send off a porn version of
the info we sent out of the solar system with Voyager, I wouldn't
be too upset if they sent 10 Most Wanted.
