Jacky St. James and her cameramen Eddie Powell & Paul Woodcrest take their lead from New Sensations producer turned writer Scott Taylor to yield "Fantasies", a romantic porn compilation rather mislabeled as part of their "Tales from the Edge" series. This is hardly cutting edge, more meat and potatoes XXX.
Opening segment is an instant classic, rising way above the mediocrity the trio has demonstrated in their assembly-line videos of recent years. Carter Cruise stars along with a trio of popular (and overworked) male porn stars (Xander Corvus, Richie Calhoun and Michael Vegas) as four buddies playing poker, as they celebrate graduating from college. All of them, including Cruise, look too old for the roles -especially Calhoun who was 37 when this was shot.
Cruise laments that she failed to sow her wild oats while at university, so the foursome decides to make up for lost time by playing strip poker, and then getting seduced by Carter into a gang-bang, including anal sex. The joie de vivre of the acting here is impressive and Cruise shows why she is so highly ranked among current Adult actresses, without having the obvious credentials of overpowering beauty or dare I say it, big breasts.
The other vignettes are a letdown after such a strong opener, but all professionally executed. Calhoun immediately returns, cast in tandem with Toni Ribas, as two guys in a hotel room at a convention, summoned by Sara Luvv to service her -no questions asked. She says her husband has given her free rein to indulge, tipping off the twist that it's Richie as the secret hubby all along, merely watching as Ribas drops his load on fan favorite Sara. This is something of a bait-and-switch segment, as it continues the myth (which seems to be catching on judging by imitations as far reaching as a recent video by competitors Stills & Mills regarding lesbians) of hotwifing.
Corvus doubles as a stud in a similar crypto-hotwifing vignette in which Ryan McLane blindfolds Chanel Preston in order to pull a switch of substituting Xander during their lovemaking. Not quite "Cyrano de Bergerac" with Ryan throwing his voice, but an effective variation on the lend-lease theme regarding one's better half, in this case made palatable by excellent dramatic acting by Preston.
Finale is poorly done filler jumping on the current IR bandwagon. Katrina Jade, who has the beauty and tools to become an all-time great but is stuck in garbage roles so far, cold-bloodedly has British stud Stallion sign a contract to hump her, the contract penned by her husband (that hotwifing thing again). Only stipulation is that he pull out before delivering the money shot. Stallion agrees, and then predictably gives Jade a cream pie. Pretty dumb, and notable only for Stallion's truly massive cock, which should keep him gainfully employed as long as IR remains in flower for pornographers.
