My Favorite YEAR!

By Diesel
Once again, Elegant Angel dazzles and amazes even the most jaded adult fan with a title which has to be seen to be believed. PERFORMERS OF THE YEAR 2009 is easily one of the most enjoyable pornos I've reviewed in the past couple of years, and certainly one of the finest Blu-rays in my ever-growing collection. Granted, it would be an exaggeration to state that this two-disc set is perfect; after all, the lack of any lesbian scenes or threesomes (what I wouldn't give to have seen Jenna Haze and Kristina Rose together!) will automatically disappoint those who expect at least one token act of non-straight sex in their choice of porno. Yet, POTY 2009 is just about as ideal as porn gets, with eight excellent scenes starring superior talents delivering their carnal best. Running at nearly five total hours in length, the video is an epic presentation of smut, but without the burden of any cheesy, artistic pretenses or unwarranted hype. Heck, this video could have called itself PORNO OF THE YEAR 2009 and I don't think anyone would disagree.

Alexis Texas, who gave a tour-de- acting and sexing performance in the highly acclaimed ALEXIS TEXAS IS BUTTWOMAN (another terrific Blu-ray title, incidentally), delivers an impressive opening show with Mick Blue. Decked out in a shiny, charcoal-colored outfit which accentuates her womanly curves, she is at first passive when it comes to Mr. Blue's advances, allowing him to direct much of the action. Eventually, she reciprocates with deep, wet blowjobs and hard cowgirl-style grinding. The two lust-birds finish their workout with a blast of spunk on her tongue, which is greeted with a wicked smile. It's a great scene, but in the context of the flick, merely a warm-up to the next event starring one of adult's finest talents...

Unless you're a true newbie to the Wonderful World of Adult, the name Jenna Haze should be as recognizable to porn audiences as Wolverine is to comic book fans. She is, quite simply, the best at what she does. To say any more (and I will) would be to burden her with shameless and excessive praise. Her scene begins with a three minute tease where she shows off her incredible body: no implants, no tattoos, no off-the-wall piercings - just all natural, long-legged beauty. Soon, she gets down and dirty with James Deen, inhaling cock and performing anal with awesome ease. Perhaps the most amazing characteristic about Jenna' talents is the fact that she can do all this in video after video, yet never make the act seem too contrived or too routine. And from the first deep kiss to the climactic swallowing, Miss Haze absolutely rocks. Her presence here alone is worth the Blu-ray price of admission.

Dark-haired sexpot Rebeca Linares, who is nicely attired in fishnet stockings and high heels, proves to be a worthy follow-up to Miss Haze. I cannot recall her looking better or being more physically involved in her work than when paired with Marcos Banderas in this segment. He manages to make his way into her backdoor, after a lengthy session of standard fucking and sucking, and the results are impressive. Miss Linares moans and yelps while occasionally engaging in ass-to-mouth fellatio, but keeps on getting banged until the oral cumshot finale. Good stuff, Maynard.

Relative newcomer Kristina Rose opens her scene by dancing seductively like a seasoned stripper in a cavernous warehouse filled with smoke (otherwise known as dry ice). She's another petite brunette who also has an "all-natural" look which is a pleasure to behold. Lucky Manuel Ferrara bends her over and twists her around as they screw like crazed weasels on a blue couch. The only slight disappointment is the money shot, which is actually executed as an anal creampie and seen leaking right out of Miss Rose's third hole. Still, her post-orgasmic fellating up to the fadeout makes her moments every bit worth watching.

Gianna shows up with Steve Holmes, who is obviously excited enough by the very busty and curvy brunette to fire two shots during his session with her: the first placed in her mouth, and the second landing on her ass. Her scene is preceded by a lot of teasing shots of her rolling around in bed, playing with her tits, and even more arousing, licking a mirror so that it looks like she's kissing herself. While not my preferred type when it comes to performers, Gianna seems to be enjoying every minute of her time with Mr. Holmes, delivering wet tongue kisses and cuddling up to him like a groupie to a rockstar. The tit-fucking is an expected but well-done act and in the end, I found myself being completely taken in by Gianna's lust-filled charms which impressively closes out Disc One.

Disc Two finds Sunny Lane taking her turn as a Performer of the Year with Sascha, who gets to do the honors of filling her quim with his liquid DNA. Aside from this creampie, however, Miss Lane's scene is a wee bit by-the-numbers and predictable, even though she remains breathlessly passionate from beginning to end. Despite some considerable focus on her ass, including some long moments where Sascha buries his face between her cheeks, Miss Lane does not perform anal. It's not a deal-breaker in the least bit (especially considering the amount of anal-play provided in the next two scenes), but I have to imagine a handful of fans being slightly disappointed in this scene.

Better in terms of hardcore stuntwork is Shyla Stylez's affair with Mr. Banderas, which does involve anal poking and some post-orgasmic ass-to-mouth work and swallowing. Though a bit too stereotypically busty and blonde for a brunette-fan like me, there's no doubt that Shyla gives this scene 100% and her opening tease shots (which, as with Gianna, also involves kissing her mirror image) are definitely arousing.

Bobbi Starr wraps up everything up with an energetic, and very aggressive scene opposite Manuel Ferrara. She is initially introduced wearing a black leather outfit and strutting around a mansion with the confidence of a dominatrix. We later find her encased in a large wooden crate brought into a into a warehouse by Manuel Ferrara. He pries open a few boards so her head can poke through, but then immediately shoves his tool deep into her mouth for some intense deep-throating. The backdoor boinking is impressively athletic, and definitely concludes POTY 2009 on an thrilling, action-packed note. After being slimed in the face by Mr. Ferrara, Bobbi is placed back in the crate and sealed off, presumably to be wheeled off and placed next to the Ark of the Covenant.

Picture quality is excellent for this shot-on-video production. The colors are bright and vivid, with plenty of detail which exceeds it's DVD counterpart (which incidentally, was superb in its own right). It goes without saying that Jenna Haze has never looked more delicious than when seen in 1080p high definition. (Did I mention that I really like her a lot?)

However, because other studios like Digital Playground have raised the standards in soundtrack presentation with 5.1 surround mixes, I am to give the stereo audio a less than top rating, which is too bad because this it spoils what would otherwise be an all-around five star review.


The bonus features on Disc Two are, commendably, the same items found in the original DVD release. (Many studios take the easy way out and simply delete the extras on their Blu-ray titles no matter how prolific the movie.) The very enjoyable Behind The Scenes segment is presented in 1080p high def, while the interviews (with Gianna, Rebeca Linares, Sunny Lane, Kristina Rose and Shyla Stylez) as well as the spectacular Bonus Scene starring Miss Haze (taken from MASSIVE FACIALS - a title which lives up to its name) are in non-widescreen, 480i standard definition.

In the end, the best compliment I can offer PERFORMERS OF THE YEAR 2009 is that the Blu-ray is worth the upgrade even for those who already own the DVD set. This is one of those rare titles which deserves to be seen in the best video format available since you'll find yourself watching it again and gain.

Once Again, Elegant Angel Starts The Year With A Gonzo Others Are Unlikely To Top!

By Spooky
Last year at this time, Elegant Angel had the brilliant idea of rounding up the top adult performers from the previous year and devoting a release to them, featuring all brand-new scenes. At the time, I thought (and still think) it was one of the best gonzo releases of 2008, and apparently Elegant Angel felt the same way, because they've done it again this year with Performers Of The Year 2009. Our "returning champions" for this year's edition are Jenna Haze, Alexis Texas and Rebeca Linares, while new to this year's release are Kristina Rose, Gianna, Sunny Lane, Shyla Stylez and Bobbi Starr.

Spread over two discs, with each performer in a boy/girl scene with one of adult's more notable studs, Performers Of The Year 2009 clocks in at an impressive 4 hours and 45 minutes of running time, and that's not even counting the over 2 hours worth of bonus materials contained on Disc 2. But it's not just quantity that makes this title worth a spot on your shelf. The quality of the scenes here are top-notch, both in the way they are shot and presented (a wonderfully sharp anamorphic image), and in the effort given by the performers themselves.

Alexis Texas gets the lead-off spot in the movie, wearing a black latex one-piece outfit that doesn't cover her boobs and shows plenty of her meaty ass. All scenes in this release begin with several minutes of the girl in question solo dancing (and often masturbating) for the camera, and Alexis' segment opens in what appears to be a large deserted warehouse-type building. Soon, she's joined by Mick Blue for some action that mostly takes place on a black couch. The only disappointing thing about Alexis' scene is that there's no anal penetration (something she's only done in a few movies to date), but the open mouth facial at the conclusion makes up for it!

Jenna Haze is next, looking stunning in a multi-colored bra and matching panties, along with black stockings and heels. Then again, when has Ms. Haze not looked stunning? By the time she pairs up with James Deen, she's now in a red dress, although that doesn't stay on her body very long. This scene also takes place on a couch (albeit a different one) and the highlights have Jenna taking James' cock deep in her ass in several different positions. When James is ready to pop, he does so onto Jenna's outstretched tongue.

With all these hot performers on one title, who would have guessed that Latina Rebeca Linares would steal the show? Looking drop-dead gorgeous in a yellow corset, white fishnet stockings and heels, Rebeca's scene is a combination of classy and downright naughty as she gets her ass pumped by Marco Banderas in multiple positions. It all ends with a creamy facial that lands both in Rebeca's mouth and on her face. This is not only the best scene in the movie, but one of Rebeca's best scenes ever!

If the anal action in the previous two scenes wasn't quite nasty enough for you, Kristina Rose more than makes up for it in a pairing with Manuel Ferrara. There's some vaginal penetration here, but the action is primarily anal, with a lot of gaping and a bit of ass-to-mouth fun as well. The popshot is a creative one, as Kristina holds her ass cheeks apart so Manuel can take aim and jerk his load straight into her backdoor.

Gianna has the final scene on Disc 1, looking great in a black bra, panties, garters, stockings and heels. She's taken on a white bed by performer Steve Holmes, who takes advantage of Gianna's ample assets (i.e., her tits) by pumping his cock in between her cleavage several times during the scene. This is also the only scene where the male comes twice, as Steve pumps some cum into Gianna's mouth early in the action, then finishes off with a pop onto her ass at scene's end.

Sunny Lane has the first scene on Disc 2, going at it with Sascha on a couch. It's kind of ironic that both Sunny and Alexis get the lead scenes on the two discs, since they're both performers who did anal for the first time in 2008, and they both only get vaginal penetration on this release. The cumshot at the conclusion has Sascha shooting onto her pussy. While Sunny fans are certain to enjoy this segment, it's probably the weakest on both discs - not so much because it's a bad scene, but because the other seven segments are very, very strong.

It's back to anal action in the next to last session, which has Marco Banderas returning to fill up Shyla Stylez's ass with his cock. Blonde-haired Shyla looks pretty hot here, wearing some sexy black lingerie, while watching her busty body take anal is always fun to see, even if she does it frequently on camera. The pop here has Marco jerking down into her open mouth.

Wrapping up the movie is a wild scene that begins with Manuel Ferrera bringing a large crate into a warehouse. He opens it up and inside is the lovely form of Bobbi Starr in a black leather outfit with black fishnets and boots. He doesn't even let her out of the box before he's got his cock whipped out and is her to suck on it. After an exchange of oral and some vaginal penetration in the standing doggy and missionary positions, Manuel slides his tool up Bobbi's behind, making sure it pulls it out every now again so he can both change positions and get her to hungrily clean him off with her mouth. The final position is missionary anal, after which Manuel jerks off onto her face (much lands in her mouth) and then puts her back in the box and closes it up!

All of the bonus materials for this title can be found on Disc 2, beginning with a selection of solo interviews with cast members Kristina, Alexis, Rebeca, Sunny, Shyla and Gianna. Each of these segments last about 7 to 8 minutes, with Gianna's interview being the exception - clocking in at about 11 minutes. It should also be pointed out that Rebeca's interview is entirely in Spanish, but it's been subtitled so you know what she's saying. Oddly, half of these interviews are shown in the full frame format, while the other half are anamorphically enchanced, although the video of those appears to have been "stretched" to obtain the 16x9 image.

Also included in the extras is a 37-minute anamorphic (not stretched this time) Behind The Scenes featurette on the making of the movie, which includes more conversations with the talent involved, including those that didn't appear in the interview segments, such as Jenna Haze. Speaking of Jenna, Elegant Angel has also included a 33-minute scene between Jenna and a group of guys from the release of Massive Facials. This is a blow-bang scene with Jenna that ranks as one of her best, as she gets covered with a sticky mess on her face from multiple guys by the scene's conclusion. This scene is presented in its original full-frame format.

Rounding out the bonus materials are a cumshot recap ("squished" to full frame for some strange reason); a 7-minute anamorphic slide show; and 6 trailers for other Elegant Angel DVDs.

Like it's predecessor, Performers Of The Year 2009 looks like one of the best gonzo titles we'll see all year long. It's a must-have for the porn aficionado!

Worth It

By TheChief
The reviews here are right on. This is a great addition to my library. I'm not a huge fan of anal scenes but at least they save them until last. The women in this movie are hot as hell and full of enthusiasm for what they do. You wont regret getting this movie.
