Devinn Lane Show Episode 1, The

At the beginning of "The Devinn Lane Show: Episode 1 'The Forbidden Zone'", the voluptuous Ms. Lane explains her desires for her new flick: something that would be fun for her to make, but also something that her fans would dig. When the light bulb of inspiration flicks on, she exclaims "A variety show!" as the answer. People who like variety shows and couples-friendly hardcore fucking will be in for a treat. Folks like me who don't entirely share that sentiment (frankly, I could care less about variety programming) will find this episode of "The Devinn Lane Show" to be a bit of a mixed bag. The main appeal doesn't really lie in the fucking or the situations, but in the general likeability and attractiveness of its cast. Devinn herself is an appealing hostess (and she's great on the eyes), and it's impossible for me to turn down the opportunity to see brunette Czech goddess Nikita Denise.

The show kicks off with Devinn on location in a "behind the scenes" skit. It seems director Devinn is trying to coach some intensity out of Lee Stone and Zana, but the two aren't feeling the sparks. Then the trio realizes the key word for heat is "anal" and that Lee and Zana shouldn't try so hard; they ought to just have fun. That epiphany is enough to bring on Lee's hard-on, and after sucking the buxom blonde Zana's rack, tonguing her pussy, and fingering her puckered asshole, he rides her missionary and doggy anal before cumming on her tongue and lips. Zana, good slutlet that she is, licks Lee clean. This isn't Jules Jordan or Buttman territory, but it's a solid little anal scene that even couples should enjoy; it's not savage of kinked-out, but fun and friendly. Devinn even sneaks in for a quick lick of Zana's boobs.

The next vignette finds Devinn as the host of an infomercial hawking sex toys. With her are Nakita Kash and Phoenix Ray, and the lovely ladies proceed to give us viewers a live demo of all the amazing products. Pussy eating and dildo pumping galore follows. This lez fest is nothing amazing but far from terrible. I'll be the first to admit that generally girl-girl scenes don't really do much for me (a shame that Ms. Lane only chooses to go Sapphic as I'd love to see her getting pumped and covered with cream by some lucky fella), so if lesbo lovemaking is your thing, I think this scene will probably play better for you. Devinn's pierced clit hood is a sight to behold, however.

We then see Devinn as a nerdy researcher for the adult industry. She claims that internet porn is hot, and as proof shows us a hot clip featuring the inimitable Nikita Denise, along with Steve Hatcher and Ian Daniels. If it isn't obvious that I'm biased, then let me say it up front: I'll watch anything with Nikita Denise, especially when she's got a guy present because it generally means no-holes-barred action. With two studs here, she gets into some D.P. pretty swiftly and takes both blasts of cum in her mouth and on her tongue and lips. Her cocksucking is as extraordinary as ever, and her anus is capable of taking the fastest, deepest strokes. All hail Nikita Denise, and Devinn for having the savvy to cast this vixen in her film.

Devinn takes a turn as a talk-show interviewer in the next clip, chatting up black stud Mark Anthony and blonde nymph Calli Cox in their bedroom. She's addressing the joys of interracial loving, and lets the antics of Mr. Anthony and Ms. Cox do most of the talking. Unfortunately, most of the action is pretty standard fare. Calli is cute as a button, and she takes Mark's member with aplomb, but the clit eating, BJ, cowgirl, spoon and missionary boffing all pretty routine. Even the spunk dunking on the belly doesn't really raise the temperature.

The following segment is a phony profile piece with investigative journalist Devinn ambushing adult actor Steven St. Croix outside his home to ask him what the life of a pornstar is like. He claims to like to read, listen to opera, and that if Devinn wants a partying stud, to go find Evan Stone. As Devinn rushes off, Steven goes inside and finds Monica Mayhem and Dru Berrymore in his pad, ready for banging. The two honeys take Steven deep, with heavy-duty cocksucking, cowgirl action, missionary sexing, and doggy drilling before Steven spurts his juice all over Monica's belly. This is a good, solid scene in terms of the sex, but I actually thought the lead in with the fake interview was pretty hilarious. Good job all around.

Devinn's next role is as a strung out rock goddess, chilling in her pad with limber Jubilee. This is basically a masturbation scene, with newcomer Jubilee fiddling with her clam for a good few minutes. I'm not really keen on masturbation-centered porn so my underwhelmed reaction may not be yours. Jubilee has cute petite tits and really looks like a jailbait groupie, but that's the best of this toy-and-finger fest.

The final scene finds Devinn asking for viewer opinions and e-mails to let her know what we'd like to see. I wonder what would happen if a unanimous vote for guy-on-Devinn action went through...hmmm...Anyway, she closes out with another lezzing, this time with buxom Lola. Lola sucks Devinn's hot rack and takes a vibrator to her sweet pussy. It's a decent girl-girl scene, but by this point you know my opinion about those.

Overall, Episode 1 of "The Devinn Lane Show" is hit-or-miss just like the real variety shows it emulates. However, Devinn is 100% entertaining to watch, and when the flick is on fire, as with the Nikita Denise D.P. or the Steven St. Croix three-way, it's a blast. Even with its unevenness, there's enough appeal for all viewers to make it worth a look. The extras on this DVD are plentiful and excellent: a 10 minute "making of," a 6 minute "girls of the Devinn Lane show" softcore posing clip, a 4 min. Monica Mayhem interview, 13 minutes of bonus sex, 8 minutes of Devinn getting a body mold made of her privates for sex toys (pretty illuminating stuff, actually), galleries for the main cast members, behind the scenes galleries, a stills gallery of images from the flick, and bios. In addition, there are 4 trailers for other movies, 4 company promos for Wicked, and various weblinks. Top notch bonus material!
