Performers of the Year features 7 brand new scenes, and starring some of the biggest names of the year: Brianna Love, Jenna Haze, Eva Angelina, Alexis Texas, Rebeca Linares, Jada Fire, and AVN Performer of the Year, Sasha Grey.

I guess the first reviewer doesn't like black. A pretty woman is a pretty woman, or in the case of porn. A sexy woman is a sexy woman, black white asian or indian.

Well, I didn't like this movie as much as the other reviewers did but I should have realized this from the start...I'm not into the cast that much. I'm not a fan of Brianna's, so of course I didn't think her scene was great. I am a big fan of Rebecca's. Her scene was great and every time I see this girl in a video she is better looking and sexier. I like Alexis. I know everyone likes her big ass but that doesn't do anything for me. I think she has a pretty face and nice tits. I used to like Eva, back when she was a quirky teenager. Now she looks like just another porn star, and a little chubby one at that. So I didn't think that scene was that great either. I have no interest in Jada and I didn't watch that scene. Finally, I think I have seen Sasha in enough scenes but she looks terrific in this one. Her dirty taking sometimes puts me off but it wasn't too bad in this scene. It's an all-anal scene. If you like most of these girls, you'll probably like this movie more than me. It's very well done with 3 parts to each scene: an interview, a tease and then the scene. Oh this is just a review of the first disc.

No rerun compilation here, it's all new scenes and lots o'anal from Brianna Love, Eva Angelina, Jada Fire, Rebeca Linares, Jena Haze and little Sasha Grey. All great action and for Sasha it's straight to the A when the sex starts. The guy takes a nice long time to loosen her up.

Brianna Love is such a sweet girl that my dick shoots insulin every time I beat off to her. Yet, her ability to simultaneously excite one's libido and happiness doesn't elevate her to the top billing of Elegant Angel's Performers of the Year. That honor is shared among the entire female cast who have come together in a pornographic congress like 1960s super group Blind Faith. Only instead of Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood and Ginger Baker, we have Brianna Love, Eva Angelina, Sasha, Jenna Haze, Alexis Texas, Jada Fire, and Rebeca Linares.

This is director William H's varsity team of porn starlets, and so the resulting 2-disc production isn't a DVD so much as it is a small box set of exhaustive content. In addition to the seven original scenes with porn headliners, we have multiple behind the scenes features, four bonus scenes from some of the best Elegant Angel DVDs of the past year, and in the words of infomercial pitchman Ron Popiel, much, much more.

OK, riddle me this Batman, who would win in a fight between Brianna Love's ass and Alexis Texas' ass?

The viewing public, that's who. Much has been made of both girl's posteriors, but why do we have to choose between them? I have two pillows on my bed, and I use them both. Likewise, I've found a home for both girls in my carnal fantasies.

I can understand that, I suppose. Unless its resulting from my enraged cock, I wouldn't want to see violence befall either backside. I have too much respect for Alexis' ass to wish it harm. I really do. I often wonder how its day is going and what it's thinking about.

That's nice.

Yeah. So, does it get cornholed? Gaped? Cummed on and made an example of? Please say yes.

Alexis is a perfect storm of porn genetics. Drop dead beautiful from the neck up and out of control sexy from the shoulders down. To paraphrase the poet Sir Mix-a-Lot, she's got an L.A. face and an Oakland booty. This said, she does not do anal.

Wha-What? You expect me to masturbate to this?

I expect you to appreciate just how sexy she is. Outfitted here with light blonde hair, she's absolutely stunning. The ass, of course, speaks for itself, and there doesn't seem to be a sexual question to which her body doesn't have the answer. As with all the scenes in this production, she begins with some artistically shot tease, then takes on Mr. Pete in a variety of standing positions. They continue on to the couch where at one point he has her on her side, and while balls deep in her pussy, he asks her to jiggle her ass for him. His resulting expression, if only for a brief moment, leads me to believe that he'd just seen the face of God.

How's Brianna Love? Did she ask about me?

No. Not unless your name is an un-spellable cacophony of moans, yelps and whimpers. If so, then she sends her enthusiastic love.

Hmm...I don't know what cacophony means, but I'll assume she shouted my name during orgasm, if that's OK with you.

Do what you gotta do, but I have an idea of what that may be if you're doing it while watching her scene. Shot in a warehouse, she and James Deen get things started with some standing doggie, a position that's like a doctor's prescription for those obsessed with her body. They fuck energetically before moving to a couch where her ripe body does a thing in cowgirl that may be more appropriately described as performance art than sex. Anal, you'll be pleased to learn, is also in the offering.

Whoohoo! And where does he cum?

Somewhere in the valley, I think.

No! Where on her does he cum?

Oh, right. Sorry. Spoiler alert: her face.

Good lord. Sorry, I have to go take care of, uh, something. I'll be locked in the bathroom with the faucet running so you'll think I'm washing my hands for the next ten minutes. Talk to yourself while I'm gone.

Um, Ok. While you're doing that, I'm watching Boxing After Dark on HBO and have to say I'm really impressed with how Carlos Quintana is fighting Paul Williams. I'm telling you, the welterweight division is stacked from top...

OK, back.

That didn't take long.

Yeah. I got a little excited and brought it home pretty quick. Hey, maybe you can settle something. While watching TV on new year's eve, one of my buddies claimed Dick Clark's face got that way from a stroke, while I argued it was frozen that way after Eva Angelina sat on it. Who's right? There's a bottle of Crown Royal and a leftover BBQ sandwich riding on this.

It was a stroke, I'm sorry to say, but your argument is completely valid. If Eva Angelina were to grind her pussy on my face, I'd probably where The Joker's shocked grin for the next 20 to 30 years. She's seriously crazed for sex and I love her for it. In her scene with Anthony Rosano she opts for the frantic ass shaking variety of tease, then starts sucking cock like she really means it. Their coupling is loud, energetic and intense. In fact, it may be my favorite scene throughout the entire feature. I don't know if I've seen Eva look better than she does here. Especially in reverse cowgirl. I've seen masterpieces in the Mus?e d'Orsay that weren't as visually stimulating as those shots.

Does she do F2M?

I'm not sure I know what that is.

Sure you do. Foot to Mouth.

That sounds like a cattle disease, but you know what? As stupid as that is, yes. This scene has F2M. Eva gives him a foot job early on, then leaps forward to suck his cock with the same nasty urgency you've seen hardcore sluts do during anal scenes. If you're a foot guy, maybe you'll be into that. If you're an anal guy, then you're going to enjoy this as well. Her anal reverse cowgirl is quite a standout moment. Apparently Rosano agrees, as he deposits his semen about 6" deep into her colon before she pushes it out for the camera. Personally, I'm turned off to things coming out of girls' assholes, but it is what it is.

Jenna Haze does to my penis what that hypodermic adrenalin needle did to Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction. Does she do all the stuff here that I dig?

That depends on what it is you dig, but I think I have a rough idea. After her interview and tease segment, Jenna turns her attention to porn evergreen Mark Davis, who supplies her with his trademarked cunnilingus. Part of Jenna's appeal, beyond her youthful appearance and sexy petite body, is her sexual enthusiasm. Like him or not, Mr. Davis seems quite up to the task of stimulating that sexual energy we love about her. They follow the mandate of the typical porn blueprint (pussy eating, cock sucking, fucking, shouting, moaning, high energy, etc.), but this is hotter than your typical scene for a few reasons. It's shot extremely well. Jenna always goes beyond the call of duty, and well she looks just so damn good sucking, fucking and taking it in the ass. Eventually, Mark drops his load on her tongue and you see why she's an adult superstar.

Ack, Mark Davis. His uncircumcised penis appears unfinished and I'm tired of looking at him. What do you think?

I don't hate Mark Davis, and I don't quite understand why other people do. In a business that's always looking for something new, he is, well, not new, and that's a valid criticism. But the girls seem to like him and he eats pussy with the same sloppy abandon as you or I might eat a wedge of ripe watermelon. I'm just not bothered by him.

We probably share the same opinion of Sasha Grey, but for the record my opinion is that if I don't get to have sex with her soon I will declare God as my enemy and retire to a shack in the woods to write a deranged manifesto on a manual typewriter. Do you concur?

Well, I like the part about you living in the woods from now on, but I'm afraid we are both of the same mind when it comes to Sasha Grey. That is, we believe that she's uber sexy and that the only thing that can keep up with her hyperactive genitalia is her turbo charged mouth. In her scene with Mick Blue she checks her vagina at the door and goes exclusively anal. That is, exclusive except for the impressive deep throat she displays in the early going.

For the love of all that is good and holy, please package her in a ventilated crate and FedEx as her to my house, tout de suite.

Calm your ass down, man. Just buy the movie and jerk off like the rest of the free heterosexual population. You'll see Sasha excitedly drive her ass on Mick Blue's cock in multiple positions, occasionally return his dick to her mouth and finish him off on her smiling face. And, as usual, she brings her porn thesaurus with her so that she can offer a wider variety of dirty talk that "Yeah, just like that." And "Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me."

She's completely capable of providing her own sex verbiage, but just in case she feels like she's running out of things to say, I offer the following three phrases that she's welcome to shout while being violated, without charge, of course, and copyright free:

  • That's it, spelunk my ass you degenerate cave dweller.
  • I want you to fuck me so hard my pussy gets post traumatic stress disorder.
  • Oh, shit. I think your cock just declared jihad on my infidel cunt.

Jada Fire has a pretty active mouth on her, too. How does her scene go?

Jada's scene with Mark Ashley is another standout. Both of them appeared to be excising some aggression during their time together. There ain't nothin' quiet or gentle about it. Ashley lowers the hammer on Jada from the onset, and she loves it. Her raspy, full throated screaming is quite a turn-on, and there's little doubt that its all genuine. In the behind the scenes feature, we see some of the edited transition moments where she's breathlessly questions how much more she can take. After an extended stretch of squirting, she's left dazed when Ashley turns onto his back and tells her to ride him. Glassy-eyed and exhausted she tells him, "Hell, no!" But like the trooper she is, she soldiers on through the cowgirl, the anal, and the final brutal ass fucking that ends with a massive pop all over her ass. Really impressive stuff from both of them.

You know what I find impressive? My Speedy Gonzales like refractory period. I might have to go to the bathroom to "wash my hands" again before we're done here. But speaking of cute Spanish speaking characters, tell me about Rebeca Lenaris' scene.

Excuse the cliched term, but this girl is model pretty. Just naturally pretty. And there's an honest chemistry between her and Anthony Rosano. Unlike about 90% of gonzo porn, they don't fuck each other on a couch, but on a bed, and that contributes to the intimacy of the scene. It's kind of like we're spying on them having sex instead of watching porn. Their coupling isn't as high powered as the Jada Fire/Mark Ashley segment, but it's hot, nonetheless. There is anal here, for those who just gotta have it, and at moments they're plaintiff wailing suggests they're killing each other instead of fucking each other. Eventually, he pops on her face, and we fade out.

Damn, that's a lot of porn. What are the extras like?

The extras are outstanding. Really, they are. William H. puts his interviews with the girls right into the feature, which is a nice touch. There's also a 2007 behind the scenes retrospective from all of the company's major releases. Additionally, we have a behind the scenes feature for this production, in particular, a blooper real and an interview with the director while he's taking a shit, just in case you like your porn discussions a little scatological.

Then there's the bonus scenes, which are all pretty great: Jenna Haze in Celebusluts; Brianna Love in Massive Asses; Eva Angelina in Cum Drenched Tits 2; and Jada Fire in Jada Fire is Squirtwoman. Not a filler scene in the bunch.

In addition to the seven brand new scenes in the feature, these extras make Performers of the Year an anthology of what Elegant Angel has done right during 2007. The last time I had an annual retrospective this complete, I asked my high school friends to sign it.

Quick personal story completely unrelated to porn: On the day the yearbooks came out my senior year of high school, a girl signed mine with a graphic note telling me how sexy she always thought I was. Then, about ten minutes later, she asked for it back and amended her message with a post script explaining that she thought she was signing someone else's yearbook and that she, alas, didn't find me especially attractive. Somehow, I managed to continue on through life without being a misogynist.

I may have to get this, but can you tell me what you've learned about porn while watching it?

I'll try:

  • Porn girls ask the stupidest questions: Do you want me to suck your cock now? Does it feel good when I ride your dick like that? Do you want to cum on my face?
  • If the intro to his interview is realistic, then William H. looks like he's grieving the loss of a child when he's defecating. It's really quite distressing.
  • Pornstars with beautiful asses discover their gifts at a very early age. Just like Mozart.
  • Sasha Grey only seems to smile when she's cumming. To the contrary, Brianna Love always seems to be smiling, except when she's cumming.
