CUMBACK PUSSY DIRECTOR: TOM BYRON CAST: TRICIA DEVEREAUX, PANDORA, CHLOE, SABRINA JOHNSON, DAVIA ARDELL (UNCREDITED ON THE BOX COVER), NAOMI, NYROBI KNIGHT, CANDY APPLES, NIKKI BRANTZ, ROXANNE HALL, FELECIA, MARK DAVIS, SEAN MICHAELS, STEVEN ST. CROIX AND TOM BYRON ELEGANT ANGEL VIDEO It doesn't seem kosher (or cool, whichever you understand) to admit that you're a fan of a male porn star. I've been reading rame since last October, not a long time, but in that time I've read a lot of posts, andI can't recall once seeing anyone who claimed to be a male saying they liked a porn star of their own gender. I'm not sure why this is. Maybe it's fear of being labeled "queer" if you actually admit you like a male star. I'm sure some people really do watch porn "only for the women." I suppose some people watch a tape and never look at a guy unless he's blocking the view of the woman. Or maybe the bashing of male stars has become so common place, it seems like the natural thing to do. I'm not saying there aren't some male stars who deserve it. Once upon a time Ron Jeremy was a slim guy with a big dick, a sense of humor and real acting abilities. But he has wrecked his body beyond repair and the sense of humor, which served him so well in the early '80's, has simply become insufferable. I really don't understand why Seymore Butts continues to use Jeremy in his tapes, but there is nothing more dick deflating than when Butts shoves his camera to within an inch of Jeremy's smug features. And then there are those who have overstayed their welcome. Randy West really should be in a retirement home, Joey Silvera needs to stay behind the camera and Mike Horner, well, I've stopped getting my hopes up every time he disappears for a few months because he always comes back and makes weird faces, proving that he really can't act. Having said all that, hope I didn't put you to sleep, I must say that I truly am a big fan of Tom Byron. The man's been around forever but is only in his early 30's, if he can be believed. He must have been 18 when he first hit the scene. I think, if I'm remembering correctly, he screwed Marilyn Chambers in "Up 'N' Coming," and lord only knows how old that movie is. Put simply, Byron is about the same age as me, and we grew up together, so to speak. I've watched him from when he was a skinny newcomer with a short haircut through his rock star/Jesus, long hair days, to his current ncarnation as a camcorder toting Bud Bundy lookalike. I've never much admired the man's acting ability, every time he's attempted to play a character, it was the same person. A slightly sleazy guy with tough man ambitions and a weird, almost hiccupy inflection in his voice.I thought it was a great job in the "Devil in Miss Jones 3 and 4," but my enthusiasm waned when I saw other movies and noticed him doing the exact same character. But the man knows how to fuck and, most importantly, he knows how to move his body in order to let the camera catch the best shots. There are no dangling balls blocking the view when Byron is doing a girl in the doggie position. Tony Tedeschi could take a less from Byron when it comes to this. Combine his knowledge of how to get the good angles with his having beenin the business forever, which means he has been directed by both the best and the worst, and you should have the perfect combination for a great new director. I realize Cumback Pussy is a "virgin" effort, but if the tapes that have followed are anywhere as near as good, we've do indeed have another great director on our hands. There are no attempts at acting or weaving a storyline on this tape, and that's fine with me. There is also no attempt to have an interweaving theme among the scenes. Butts are shown and big tits are leered at a couple of times, but they're not the main focus. And, despite the title, none of the women featured have been out of the business for awhile and are just now "cumming" back. What we get are five hot sex scenes without a stinker in the bunch. And that, also, is fine with me. The mythical fourth wall was destroyed in porn a long time ago. Perhaps by the first "Reel People?" If there was another tape before this one where performers acknowledged the camera, please let me know. I like porn history and I always like to know how things came about. With this tape, Byron not only knocks down the fourth wall, but also kicks down the first, second and third one also. He makes no pretension that the people in front of his camera are doing anything other than what they were paid for. In one scene he even tells Mark Davis to "Fuck Davia real hardup the ass and then stick it in her mouth, you know, that ass to mouth thing everybody likes so much. She's getting paid a lot of money here, and I want the scene as nasty as possible." Byron starts things off by telling his audience how desperate he is to have Tricia Devereaux all to himself. Seems he once had a crack at Tricia, but it was in a gangbang film and he had to share her. So, now, he has his own series and, dammit, he's going to have Tricia to himself. Turns out, though, that Tricia is a big fan of having both lower holes filled at the same time, so Byron invites Mark Davis over to help him out. The sex in this scene is good and Tricia, who is a borderline favorite of mine, I haven't really seen enough of her to know if she's a full favorite, sizzles. All the positions are covered and Byron does indeed get Tricia to himself before Davis joins in. I saw a movie with Tricia where she wore glasses,I love a girl with glasses, and I was hoping she would affect the same look in this scene, but it was not to be. After Byron and Davis have wetted down Tricia's thirst, we find Pandora and Chloe lounging around outside where Byron proceeds to ogle their bodies with his camcorder. Pandora is a luscious blonde with big, fake boobs. So, sue me, I like them. Chloe is a slim, plain looking brunette who, according to Byron, and as she proves herself later on, is prone to nasty anal action. I had never heard of Pandora before this tape and Chloe was also new to me even though I was aware of her. Pandora is wearing blue jean shorts, be still my heart, and proceeds to give Byron some great buttshots as she and Chloe walk to the pool where Sean Michaels is swimming around and occassionally rising out of the pool like some black Colossus (spelling?). There is small talk made, Pandora is apparently pretty new as she's never been with a black man or taken it up the butt, and the girls eventually strip and join Michaels in the pool. The sex that follows is hot and sweaty, with Chloe taking a terrific butt banging from Michaels long, slim pole. The scene, after starting out next to the pool, where the heat is complained about more than once, ends under a cool grove of shade trees where Chloe takes a nice facial after her butthole has been stretched to unnatural limits. Byron ends by asking if Pandora thinks she might like to get her butthole opened up one day. She responds she would and Byron tells her to come back, that he'll start a tape called "Cumback Anal." Being a fan of blondes with big fake tits, and of anal sex, this possibility excites me to no end. We next find Tom drivin down the road, camcorder sitting in his passenger seat, talking about Sabrina Johnson, this hot French girl featured in the next scene. And she likes it up the ass, he tell us enthusiastically. My interested is peaked. A little too much time is spent with Byron interviewing Johnson and her video partner, Steven St. Croix. I'm of a mixed nature when it comes to St. Croix. He's obviously a good actor, and he seems to believe he does a killer Jim Carrey impersonation, but a lot of his sex scenes lack heat. That's not much of a problem here. Whether Johnson, who is a naughty looking brunette, brings out on the beast in him or if he was just feeling his oates that day, by the time St. Croix has Johnson on her hands and knees and is pile driving it home in her butthole, I was believer in the man, at least for this scene. Byron eventually joins the duo and a DP is consumated. I'm only vaguely curious as to who the fourth, unseen, person is that takes over the camera whenever Byron wants to join in on the action. Does anybody else remember the early Seymore Butts video's where suddenly you spotted the second cameraman walking in front of Seymore, and he didn't even care enough to edit it out. That's when I knew I was gonna love gonzo. After St. Croix and Byron deposit their loads, we find ourselves in the scene where Byron tells Davis to do all kinds of nasty things to Davia Ardell. I must admit that Ardell, whom I believe goes under another name, is a sight to behold. Blonde hair, big fake tits and a penchant for anal sex. How could a man ask for more? Naomi, a hot looking black chick, is also in this scene, and is perhaps a little under used. Her butthole doesn't get used and Byron doesn't spend enough time examining her body. But it's only a minor slip. I must admit, though, I'm starting to get just a little tired of Mark Davis. I don't have a problem with his looks, or his personality, but that uncut dick has got to go. Even Rocco eventually was circumcised. You can have whatever opinion you like about foreskin, but I personally don't like it. Davis proceeds to do all those nasty things to Ardell that Byron wanted, including the fabled ass to mouth for all you bacterial infection fans. The sex is good, the postions and camera work are good and the sexual howls of ecstasy are dick stiffening. Never underestimate how much of a turnon the sound of a woman having sex can be. The final scene, Byron taking on four women with an assist from Felecia, should have been the coup de grace. But somehow, for me anyway, it fell short. Sure, it's fun to watch Byron bone the butts of Nyrobi Knight, Candy Apples, Nikki Brantz and Roxanne Hall, but this type of scene has the same problems as gang bang tapes. Too many people for one camera to catch all the action. Still, if nothing else, the scene is memorable for the sight of Candy Apples taking an absolutely huge dildo up her butt. It's way too short though, an indication of why group scenes almost always fall flat. At least in my opinion,anyway. Overall, this is an excellent sex tape. Byron is showing great promise as a director and will probably do well if he doesn't attempt to turn into Paul Thomas (or whoever) and try to be taken seriously. I've ordered the next five tapes in the Cumback Pussy series (my credit card can't take my much more!) and hopefully they will be as good as this one. Recommendation? Run, don't walk, to the nearest video store and get this tape. You won't be sorry.

So, if you respond to one of my reviews and I don't reply immediately, don't feel I'm being rude. I'm just waiting for the post to show up.
