BUTTWOMAN BEGINS
What a pleasure it is to have a truly great gonzo work like ALEXIS TEXAS IS BUTTWOMAN available on Blu-ray. Not only does this disc faithfully port over all the DVD bonus features on a second disc, but the benefits of high definition add that touch of lifelike reality to some very erotic proceedings. This is one of those rare Blu-movies which is well-worth the premium price.
The character "Buttwoman" is an admitted copy of John Stagliano's "Buttman" persona, co-created by Patrick Collins and starring Tianna back in the day when Evil Angel and Elegant Angel would produce joint titles. (See the archived interview with Tricia Devereaux in Pornstar Empire for further details). Superior performers like Tianna, Tiffany Mynx, Belladonna and Lauren Phoenix carried on the legacy in flicks ranging from fair to fantastic, depending on the star and the production values. (Other studios would adopt the Buttwoman moniker, but far less successfully.)
As for Alexis Texas herself...Well, the girl is definitely hot, and probably right up there with Lauren Phoenix and Brianna Love as far as being one of the prettiest babes to hold the Buttwoman title. She is best described as being meaty, beaty, big and bouncy (to quote The Who), which may not necessarily bowl over those who want their girls to look slender and leggy like Taylor Rain, but her carnal attraction is certainly undeniable.
The movie begins with the fine form of Miss Texas, a bar waitress yearning to bust out of her dead-end, small-town surroundings. The good ol' boys love her for her ass, but she rebels and drives off to a better place, namely Southern California. A variation of "Misirlou" (the piece heard during the opening credits of the classic mainstream film "Pulp Fiction") underscores these introductory scenes quite effectively, and tunes us into the carnal activities to come. Directed jointly by William H. and Sam No, there is definitely a Tarantino-esque influence going on here, but the hardcore scenes are all gonzo porn.
Once the premise is established, Alexis wastes no time in expressing her sexual freedom. A few minutes of her shake, shake, shaking her booty for some while serves as warm-up to her scene with Kristina Rose, a dark-haired beauty who raised my attention in BOUND TO PLEASE 3. Doused in baby oil, the two girls rub and grind against each other as a disco beat is heard over the 2.0 soundtrack (I prefer gonzo videos which do without a music score, but this one isn't too bad). The two then retreat indoors, indulging in some spanking during their girl-girl frolic, and then join to please Michael Stefano. The only regret I have over this scene is the lack of any anal scenes by either girl, and just as critical, the cumshot, which should have been swapped between the two, but instead lands on Alexis's butt and which is then rubbed against Kristina's. Sure, Miss Rose takes a few laps at the smeared splooge, but it isn't quite the same as swallowing. The over-the-top emphasis on big bottoms is, of course, the raison d'etre of any BUTTWOMAN video, but there were moments when I felt that the theme was a bit overplayed, which is clearly the case here.
Another sapphic scene of sexual seduction is played out between Alexis and Gianna Michaels, who lays Alexis down on the hardwood floor of a spacious mansion. Some excellent tongue-sucking, pussy-banging, and rimming round out an excellent lesbian affair, which then turns into another threesome with Mark Ashley's appearance. Again, no anal takes place and while Gianna takes it in the mouth, most of the man-goo lands on Miss Texas's butt cheeks and thigh. However, pussy-to-mouth shots and the sheer energy make up for any nitpicky shortcomings.
A straight sex scene between Buttwoman and Mick Blue is placed in the middle of the movie, perhaps to slow things down a bit. It's a good, solid pairing which would easily be above average for any other gonzo title. Then, we're off to yet another threesome, in which Alexis is joined by Anthony Rosano and the one and only Jenna Haze, perhaps the best adult performer the world has ever seen. She actually steals the limelight thanks to her physical presence and raw sexual charisma which can probably turn a gay man straight. After doing a round of dual cock sucking, hearty cunnilingus and pussy to mouth fellatio, she opens up her backdoor for a round of ass-pumping performed especially enthusiastically in reverse-cowgirl and doggy-style. Alexis gets banged one last time for Mr. Rosano to unleash on her butt, which is promptly lapped up by Miss Haze. Obviously my choice for best scene, this ménage a twat is clearly just another super performance by a superior slut.
Finishing off the movie is Alexis's highly anticipated anal finale with Mr. Pete. We find her looking way hot in a sky blue bikini, standing on a balcony and staring out at the cityscape. She then climbs onto a table (jiggling her ass throughout, of course), and casually peels away at her bottom to show a butt-plug (which also happens to be sky blue!) firmly lodged within. Mr. Pete appears, removes it, lets her suck on it, then sticks a new one in. After only a few scant minutes inside her quim, Mr. Pete spends the remainder of the scene penetrating her twin cheeks, interrupted only by a change in positions as well as a few ass-to-mouth shots. He cums on her face, and although there is no graphic swallowing, the facial is satisfying enough to end the flick right before the end credits roll. I actually expected to see some kind of epilogue, with Alexis returning to her hometown and showing off her new "glamorous" look and style, but nothing else happens to advance the storyline.
Over the past several years, Elegant Angel has been steadily improving the quality of their adult products in both content and presentation, with titles like TAILS OF PERVERSITY #8 (featuring a stunning scene with Briana Banks) and the wildly (and deservedly) successful BIG WET ASSES series. Apparently this is their first foray into Blu-ray, and I can't think of a better title than ALEXIS TEXAS IS BUTTWOMAN to inaugurate the occasion. Bonus features like "The Making Of Buttwoman," "Extra Footage," and the "Blooper Reel" are presented in high definition, with the remainder of the materials ("Hanging On The Set With Buttwoman," an interview with the directors, a replay of the cumshots, an "'Updated' History Of Buttwoman Documentary" and excerpts from previous Buttwoman flicks) being presented in standard definition. The featurettes are all well-made and worth watching, even for those who usually never bother with such extras. Incidentally, watching the "historical" footage will make one appreciate the video quality upgrade of this Blu-ray feature in specific, and the technical improvements of shot-on-video porn in general. Early scenes of Tianna as Buttwoman (circa 1990-1991) are nearly monochromatic and look like VHS tape at its worst. The Tiffany Mynx scenes (from around 1997) have, as one might expect, better-looking images, but they can't hold a candle to the recent standard definition footage of Alexis Texas, and certainly can't compare to the high definition widescreen video. Despite a running time of nearly four hours, this disc has only visual flaws (some digital artifacts including pixilation) which will probably be noticeable only to the most anal - pun intended - of videophiles. However, the audio is straight stereo (2.0 channels), so turn on your receiver's synthesized surround enhancements if you want more zing in your soundtrack. (Me, I'm not one to watch porn with anything louder than my TV set's internal speakers).
It's good to see a studio as good as Elegant Angel and a title as highly acclaimed as ALEXIS TEXAS IS BUTTWOMAN making their debut into Such an "elite" format. This Blu-ray title is right up there with Vivid's THE NIKKI JAYNE EXPERIMENT for best high definition porno of 2008.
Porn's Hottest Ass Finally Takes Some Cock!
Elegant Angel has done a number of these "first time anal" releases now, giving us the first-ever backdoor scenes with the likes of girls like Sunny Lane, Julia Bond and Eva Angelina. But for Alexis Texas is Buttwoman, they've really pulled out all the stops, not only giving us a release with Ms. Texas' first anal scene, but a title entirely devoted to the big butted blonde, who is featured in all five of the DVD's sex scenes.
The movie opens less like an all-sex film (which it ultimately is) and more like an adult feature, as we see Alexis stuck with a deadbeat boyfriend (husband?) and working as a waitress at a dead-end job. After getting hounded by her man at home and harassed by the men at work, Alexis has had enough - and she decides to leave town and go in search of new horizons...of the sexual kind, naturally!
Scene 1 has Alexis teaming up with brunette Kristina Rose. The two meet outside first, and have a little tease session with each other that includes oiling up their asses and grinding them against each other's. The fun then moves indoors, where Alexis and Kristina pleasure each other with their tongues and fingers, and are soon joined by Michael Stefano, who takes turns fucking both of them. The final position in this segment has Michael giving it to Alexis doggy style, then cumming on her ass. Kristina then faces away from Alexis so they can rub their behinds together again.
Although viewers will eventually get to see Alexis go anal in the final scene, it's Scene 2 that just might be the best in the whole movie. Here, Alexis teams up with Gianna Michaels for a great girl on girl session that includes Gianna using a Hitachi Magic Wand on Alexis, and both girls having fun with a clear jelly dildo. Mark Ashley shows up about half way through so he can slide his cock into the gals' already warmed-up pussies. The pop-shot has him jerking onto Alexis' ass (and some of Gianna's chest and tongue).
The tamest scene on this title is a one-on-one between Alexis and Mick Blue, where the sex is rather standard, but the cumshot is impressive - ending with a healthy facial onto Ms. Texas' face. This is followed by another great threesome between Alexis, Jenna Haze and Anthony Rosano which begins (like the first two scenes) with Alexis and Jenna in a lesbian tryst before Anthony shows up. Although Alexis gets no anal here, Jenna certainly does - having her backdoor drilled in the reverse cowgirl, spoon and doggy positions. At the end of the scene, Anthony is fucking Alexis as she lies on her side on a couch, and he pulls out of her pussy to drop a nice load right onto her asshole. Even better is watching Jenna lick it all up!
Last up is the scene we've all been waiting for, and who better to break Alexis into the wonderful world of anal than the aggressive Mr. Pete? As the scene opens, Alexis is posing alone atop a table in a bikini, but we soon see that she's got an Aqua Plug up her behind (the kind with the colorful crystal showing on the base). Pete arrives to take the plug out and make her lick it dry, only to replace Alexis' bunghole with a larger glass plug (which he also removes and has her lick clean a few times). The first penetration is of Alexis' pussy, but the plug stays in her ass during this part of the action. The two eventually move to a bedroom, where we finally get to see Alexis take anal. Unlike a lot of other "first time" anal scenes, where anal only takes up a few minutes of the total action and/or the thrusting is rather mild and gentle, Alexis really gets her behind reamed her, and I couldn't help wondering why we haven't seen this girl do anal all along - she's great at it! Kinkier viewers might also get off on the fact that Alexis keeps calling Pete "Daddy" through much of the action...I sure did! Pete doesn't disappoint with his cumshot, either, shooting his wad all over Alexis' face to wrap up the movie.
The movie's run time is over 3 ½ hours, so Elegant Angel has included a bonus DVD to house all of the extras. Included on the bonus disc is a behind the scenes look at the movie; a featurette on some of the more humorous moments of the shoot; a segment on the history of the Buttwoman releases; an interview with the directors of this release, William H. and Sam No (or, as I like to call her, "The Director Formerly Known As Mason"); a bloopers reel; bonus scenes from other Buttwoman DVDs (as well as a pair of other scenes with Alexis); plus a bloopers reel and trailers for other titles.
The fact that this release features Alexis Texas' first anal would be reason enough to put it on your "must-own" list, but Elegant Angel has done such a great job here that Alexis Texas is Buttwoman has gone right to the top of the list as one of 2008's best all-sex releases.
This may be the DVD we all talk about when we look back on the time that Alexis Texas turned from being just another porn starlet into one of the industry's leading stars.
One of the Best Buttwomen yet!
great
