Borda, Major F***ing Whore, Bella pictures


Well, Son-of-a-bitch.  Here's a tape that's both well-shot AND nasty.


This is a star vehicle for a young Tracy Lords lookalike named Eden. She's
new-- don't bother looking for her in the adult video database.  She's
a lite brunette, 5'2", a shapely slim 18 with a delicate expressive face, 
a soft chin line and smoking blue-grey eyes.  ... And she doesn't chew 
the scenery the way Tracy did (and does).  

The tape is 115 minutes long; has a 50 minute gangbang and a 20 minute
Max Hardcore loop.  Both are good.

Eden shows two personalities in this tape.  She looks young and nieve in
medium shots-- but develops a hungry, agressive presence when she 
turns on.  This video consists of a long gang-bang of little Eden; 
together with a 20 minute Max Hardcore "Cherry Popper" type scene to 
fill out the tape.

Special kudos to Al Borda for putting together the best camera work in ANY 
cheap video I've seen in months. The lighting is right; the camera frames 
the action; Borda chose camera angles that flatter Eden.  Borda also occasion-
ally moves to brief medium shots,to remind us of how pretty this 
little girl is.  We get a good mix of close-ups and glossy shots.  The 
result:  A 'documentary' feel that pulls us into the action, but without 
the jittery, blurry, shadowy harsh edge that distracts us from the action.  

This is all the more remarkable, considering how hard it is to shoot a
good Gang Bang.  Even the Anabolic people don't do it really well-- the
camera holds static positions; misses action; shoots female performers
in unflattering positions; catches too many shadows-- and their editing
can turn the whole episode into an unpaced, boring mess more often than
not--- especially the last two or three volumes.

... Well; Borda did it RIGHT.

So-- what do you get?  You get a "young" 18-year-old slim, cute kid fuck
the holy living hell out of seven guys and a cameraman, who earned it.  

You get all the usual positions, but nothing extreme or athletic. You 
don't get distracting "Kinky" stuff, like masks, or pop-shots into wine
glasses.

You get very good DPPs and DAPs, where both dicks are moving, Eden is
rocking her ass, the lighting is right, and the camera holds still-- all 
at once.  This is hard to do; and VERY hard to shoot.  

You get You get a little hole stretching, and some great head 
shots-- Eden looks great when she gives head.  

You get a camera that is almost always pointing at *exactly* what you 
want to look at, at that moment.  Try THAT in any other gangbang vid 
you want to compare with.  

You get lots of what I'll call "accidental" shots-- movements, gestures 
and positioning that were unplanned, but reveal something surprising and interesting about the performers.   Shots like this are hard to describe,
but they bring life and presence to a scene-- and are almost ALWAYS 
edited out of a Gang Bang scene.

You get a very good closing facial shot.  Remember:  When it's time for 
the facial in most Gang Bangs; the camera moves in to focus indefinitely 
on a hand stroking a cocks.  We watch two minutes of stroking and fifteen
seconds of shooting, over and over again, six or eight times. What should 
be the most exciting, climactic action in the scene turns into boring
homo-erotic nonsense (unless you're gay).  We don't want to watch the 
stroking; we want to watch the loopy spurting climaxes, and the mess that 
results.  Borda got it right.

What you DON'T get, is the kind of hot, nasty chemistry that shows up in
Anabolic's BEST Gang Bangs-- like Vanessa Chase, or Debi Diamond.  This is
what Borda was trying for, and he almost succeeds-- but I think Eden is
just about five jobs shy of the experience she needs to smoke our eyes
the way Vanessa did in GBG 14(?).  Still; its close, and very nicely done.

You also get Max Hardcore for 20 minutes at the end of the tape.  He and
Eden move through a technically good scene, including good close-ups, poke-shots, 4-finger-play and hole stretching; a splay missionary with 
close-up anal pokes, a d+d dp; a few other positions and a kneeling facial. 
This ranks with any of Max's better scenes, but lacks a little of the 
heat that Tammi Ann or Kaitlyn Ashley can generate.  Still; it's one of 
the best scenes Max has shot in the last 18 months.  


BOTTOM LINE: This is a good first rental if you like Gang Bangs. It might
even be a classic in a few years, but I can't judge that yet.
