So a few weeks back, I listed my Top 7 Stars (aka: who I would like to eff).
It’s about damn time I listed some favorite movies. Again, here’s the thing. These are a few of MY favorites. Not the best, but ones I like. So if you don’t like them, I don’t care. At all.
Bree’s College Daze
Studio: Adam & Eve
Director: Andre Madness
Stars: Brandon Iron, Steven St. Croix, Sammie Rhodes, Kelly Wells, Jay Lassiter, Maya Hills, Lorena Sanchez, Bree Olson, T.J. Cummings
Released in 2008, Bree’s College Daze featured the newly signed Adam & Eve contract girl, Bree Olson. Bree had just scooped up the 2008 AVN Award for Best New Starlet when the first of two Bree’s College Daze movies came out. (As an interesting sidenote, according to Wikipedia, “She has stated that her biggest hero is her grandmother, who was a concentration camp survivor. Olson is an atheist.” I just find the juxtaposition of those two statements right next to each other incredible.) Over 140 titles deep into her career that started in the fall of 2006, Ms. Olsen stars in this tale of a young college girl who becomes the target of the Dean’s ire. In an effort to get to the bottom of her paid tuition he sends Steven St. Croix to get to the bottom of it. If he is successful, he graduates.
Throat: A Cautionary Tale
Studio: Vivid
Director: Paul Thomas
Starring: Aliana Love, Allie Foster, Beverly Hills, Brynn Tyler , Carmen McCarthy, Emilianna, Evan Stone, Herschel Savage, Jarod Diamond, Jerry, Jordan Lane, Kelly Wells, Lee Stone, Marco Banderas, Megan Monroe, Penny Flame, Pike Nelson, Ricki Raxxx, Rocco Reed, Sasha Grey, Tom Byron, Trent Tesoro, Voodoo, Jasper Knight (non-sex), Darth Franklin (non-sex), Marco Leon (non-sex), Shylar Cobi (non-sex)
By now, the story of Throat: A Cautionary Tale has been well documented. Not only online, but on Showtime’s seven part original series Deeper Throat, documenting the process of making this film. And the making of this film has almost as much plot twists and turns as the movie itself, between picking the right girl to fill Linda Lovelace’s shoes (or throat) to the legal battles with the owner of the rights to the original, Ray Pistol of Arrow Productions. When Pistol withdrew his permission to use the title in the remake when he didn’t like the direction director Paul Thomas was going, it set off a courtroom battle between Ra and Steven Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid, the studio making the 2009 version. What started out as a remake of the classic Deep Throat morphed into a story of its own, loosely based on and with a few nods to its muse.
Mix an all-star cast, a renowned director, a remake of the classic, throw in some controversy and television series documenting the entire process and the result is a film that leads the 2010 AVN Award nominations with 12 nominations this year. From Best Actress, Best Director, Best Oral Scene, Best Video Feature and everything in between.
