From: "JMT"Newsgroups: rec.arts.movies.erotica Subject: First time review: Voyeur #8 Date: Wed, 02 Apr 97 19:57:35 I'm a long time reader of this newsgroup who occassionally posts and I've decided to post a review and see what kind of reaction I get. I should say I'm a fan of anal and I don't mind when women get their tits inflated. (Yeah, I'm the guy you can blame.) I should also say that I tend to like reviews like the ones posted by Roger P. Tipe (T. Pipe, whatever he calls himself) and if I tend to go on and on, you can throw the review off your newsreader or flame me on the group. Long as I get a reaction. So, here goes. VOYEUR #8 EVIL ANGEL VIDEO DIRECTOR: JOHN LESLIE CAST: BUNCH OF EUROPEANS I'VE NEVER HEARD OF AND TWO AMERICAN ACTRESSES NAMED DEVON AND NADIA In my opinion, humble though it may be, John Leslie is the best thing porn has going for it. His sex is consistently hot, there is a theme, though sometimes weak, throughout his work, and, more than anything else, he actually appears to try. If you don't believe that makes a difference, just compare his weakest stuff to the most highly heralded Vivid lite porn. One Leslie tape can equal ten of theirs. I was not a big fan of Leslie's VCA work, it had too much of an antiseptic, almost clean feel to it. He once said in an interview that he left VCA without bad feelings, but they just weren't letting him do what he wanted. Evil Angel, thankfully, has turned him loose and the results, for the most part, have been stunning. The Voyeur series has proven to be his most successful in terms of sales, so he continues to pump a new one out about every two or three months. When he first started the Voyeur series, I got the feeling he was trying to do a sly take on the Buttman/Seymore Butts school of gonzo film making. In other words, what would be the consequences if someone actually carted a video camera around and asked guys if they could tape them fucking their girlfriends. In the real world, the result would probably be several violent beatings. Remember, the Voyeur was witness to Tony Montana being gunned down in the first installment. I thought Leslie was on the right track, and if any director could show a real world version of Buttman, it would be Leslie. But time passed, the series went on and the Voyeur became nothing more than a series of unrelated sex scenes, resembling nothing more than those old Swedish Erotica loop collections, except with hotter sex and better camera work. Voyeur #8 is part two of a trip to Europe and there's no need to worry if you see this one before catching #7. Their only connection is that Leslie directed each one and their both set in Europe. Other than that, watch then in whatever order you want. This video starts with the Voyeur (Leslie) trailing a European version of a trailer park resident (heavy make-up, slightly dazed look) through the streets of some city I couldn't even begin to name. Too much time is spent with the camera aimed partly at the sidewalk, but Leslie eventually catches up to her at some phones in what looks to be a subway tunnel, or whatever they call them overseas. He barks at her some, she replies in broken English and he eventually flags down three guys and asks if they want to fuck her. (Just like in real life, huh?) One of the guys is heavy set and not too pleasant to look, another spends the entire scene looking so nervous, you start to worry he's going to throw up, and the third is some guy I've seen in a few Private productions. They end up in a hotel room that's bigger and fancier than my doublewide and proceed to go through the basics of a three on one scene, without any anal, which is disappointing as this woman, who is listed as Carol on the box, looks like she probably takes watermelons up the butt in European videos we'll never see over here. But even though the scene is standard, right down to the dribble cum shots the guys deposit on her face, Leslie's camerawork pulls it out of the pits. Like Borsky, when he's got the fish eye lens working right, Leslie just knows where to put the camera. Being a guy who thinks blonde women rule the earth, the next scene almost did me in, even though there wasn't any anal. (Sigh.) It features Anita Blond and I was under the impression, from the boxcover, that she was the same Anita Blond who has appeared in several Anabolic productions, but after watching her on the tape, I'm not so sure anymore. Either way, she's drop dead gorgeous and the scene opens with Leslie spying on her in a barn. (I have no idea why.) She's wearing tight blue jean shorts, (a look I wish more directors would feature) and she eventually sheds those blue jean shorts and plays with the prettiest pussy I've seen on video in ages. A farmhand walks in on her and proceeds to stroke his dick while her fingers continue at their task. Whenever he tries to help her out, she pushes him away. As usual, Leslie mixes up his camera work, sometimes shooting from the view point of the Voyeur, other times using extreme close-ups. It's a style that should become irritating, but works for some reason. The frustrated farm hand finally gets to enjoy a blowjob, but just as he's getting into it, someone, (boss, father, older brother, Leslie doesn't give a clue) barges in, barks at the farm hand and sends him away. The blonde makes a quick attempt at seducing the older man, he wisely gives in, then she's squatting again, her mouth full of cock. The guy eats her pussy, it is really a pretty pussy, and then uncharacteristically for Leslie, there's a quick cut and the guy is fucking her, without a penetration shot. The sex isn't too imaginative, the positions barely change, but the woman's beauty makes up for it. She's so good looking, the tiny amount of cum he dribbles toward her mouth almost seems like an insult. Still, the blonde makes it a scene worth viewing again. The third scene is the highlite of the tape, and is probably the best Voyeur scene in several volumes. The two women in the scene, if I'm reading the box cover right, are Maria and Chanel. The guy, once again, is someone I've seen in some Private productions, but I have no idea what his name is. This is the kind of scene where you can tell Leslie's actually put some thought into it. There's a set-up, dialogue that isn't stilted, the women are good looking and the guy actually isn't repulsive. It appears the Voyeur and a group of guys have taken over a closed restaurant and Chanel is putting on quite a show for them. She's walking around, flashing her tits and ass, talking dirty in thickly accented English. This goes on for a few minutes, a bachelor party I would guess, before the restaurant manager comes out and tells them they have to stop, that this kind of thing isn't allowed. Leslie proceeds to try and talk him out of it and has the guys cheering him along, saying the restaurant is closed and nobody's getting hurt. Of course, it's when Chanel pulls his dick out and begins to suck on it that he changes his mind. They proceed to go through the positions, with everyone cheering them on, and Chanel is lying on her side, receiving a pretty good ass pounding, when the guy's wife walks in. At this point, in a lesser directors hands, say Jim Enright, there wouldbe some woodenly read dialogue and the wife would proceed to eat the other woman's pussy. Fortunately, this is Leslie and we at least get some attempts to make it right. The wife pouts a little, gripes that her husband never does her this way, and then is cajoled by Leslie into going in front of the group and performing a strip tease. The wife, Maria, is, I must say, a mouth watering delight. No, she's nota beauty queen, but she's cute, with short brown hair, small but firm tits, and a wonderfully big, round butt. Her strip tease is soon interrupted by her husband and his lover. He bones his wife and then gives her a thorough, and I do mean thorough, butt fucking. This is done in the doggy position with the group of guys all watching intently. This is almost funny in a way and the guy actually manages to produce a cum shot worthy of the two women. This scene may be the best Leslie has ever done. If you're not a fan of his right now, this scene will make you one. The next couple of scenes are nothing special with the exception of Anita Dark, (Hmm, Anita Blonde, Anita Dark, there's a great imagination at work here!) clad in a pair of tight orange shorts. While these scenes are far above the work of your standard hacks, they're par the course for Leslie and you won't miss anything is you never see them. The final scene has the Voyeur back in America. He's spying on a couple of women in back yard as they put on their bathing suits. They start to sunbathe and are eventually joined by a guy who gives Nadia a good pussy drilling before seriously ravaging Devon's butthole. But even with the anal pounding being a good one, the scene is dragged down considerably by the guy's two drop cumshot. I'm not kidding. I might have blinked and misseda squirt, but I swear the guy managed only a couple of drops on the two upturned faces. So, overall, this isn't Leslie's best effort, even in the Voyeur series. His best tape, for me anyway, was Dirty Tricks #2 and the first Voyeur is the best in this series, back when it looked like he was actually going to accomplish something with it. But I would highly recommended this tape mainly for Anita Blond and the threesome in the restaurant. Blond is simply gorgeous, I hope she appears in something nastier later on, and the restaurant scene is porn the way it should be. If you like this review, let me know. I have a porn collection of almost 500 tapes and I can write a lot of them if anybodies interested. Until whenever, take care.
