“Brides Maids XXX”: I think Melissa McCarthy would be proud of Sasha Knox

“But we so wanted to see Tara Lynn Foxx as Jenny in the ‘Singled Out’ parody,” a spokesperson for the McCarthy family did not say.

“Portrait of a Call Girl” has a lot to say

“Portrait of A Call Girl” is my favorite porn movie in a long time.

Though marijuana is as much a part of the California lifestyle as drivebys and Disneyland, it is not for me.

“Not Charlie’s Angels XXX”: It Involves Cocaine

It is fitting that this movie opened with a scene of disco-era club dudes cutting lines of cocaine.

Around the world in 4077 days with Chanel Preston and Eric Swiss

Sometimes you can experience the whole world without leaving the room. It also helps if there are naked 19-year-olds in that room.

XRCO Awards 2010: But it’s our clusterfuck

Because porn performers are rarely recognized for their work, it seems fitting that this homespun-seeming garage band of an event reflects the quality of the average porn movie.

The Ropey Volley Awards: Gram’s Dirty Dozen of 2009

In a very real way, all porn is good. But the following titles were better.

My Sexy Life: Phoenix Marie

Studio: MuffiaDirector: Phoenix MarieCast: Phoenix Marie, Andi Anderson, Eric Swiss, Angelina Valentine, Carmella Bing, Francesca Le, Tori Black, Adriana Nicole You know who’s sexy in person? Phoenix Marie. She seems, in all the best ways, ready to go. So we were very interested to see her solo project, “My Sexy Life.” A lot of porn [...]

Accepting porn parodies for the greater good

As with fake boobs, my own genius and mortality, and traffic on the 405, I have come to accept porn parodies and to recognize their right to exist. I cannot fight them anymore, for there are too many. Instead, I judge them on their own merits and no longer wish them wiped from the face [...]

You’re gonna need a bigger throat: Various porn stars posing with my first edition of "Jaws"

Why, you ask? Well, three thousand bucks buys a lot of roast. Angelina Armani lives every day like it’s Shark Week. If she were a shark, Joanna Angel would be a thresher. Lexi Love trusts the Gorton’s fisherman. Mancunians Louisa Richmond and Nikki Jayne can’t get Great Whites at the chippy. Eric Swiss either destroys [...]

Social networking for narcissists

Today I spoke on a panel about social networking at the XBiz Summer Forum. I thought it would be fun to tweet (I hate using that word; I want to punch myself – but who am I to change the language?) while I was sitting up there. Furthermore, I thought I would not be the [...]

Reno 411: Strollin’ in the Brolin

The performer Reno, left, seen here on the set of Not Married with Children XXX, bears an uncanny resemblance to James Brolin in the false-Mission to Mars movie “Capricorn One.” Reno plays an escaped convict in this XPlay project (to be distributed by Hustler), with the delightful Kagney Linn Karter as Kelly, Eric Swiss as [...]

Madison Scott: Size 5

Here is Madison Scott on the set of XPlay’s Not Married With Children XXX. Neither she nor Brad Hardy, who is rooting her to her chair, play characters recognizable from the original show, unlike Eric Swiss, who does an excellent job as Al Bundy. No, Madison Scott instead reminds me of the type of woman [...]

Clean living with Gram

As you well know, I am able to consume, process, and enjoy mass quantities of alcohol. With each glass, snifter, flagon, tankard, skin, or sadder-but-wiser stripper’s navel-full I become more charming and witty. In fact, I’m drunk now. But if Mary Carey’s appearance on “Sober House” has taught me anything, it is that only by [...]

Filling the holes with Eric Swiss

Eric Swiss is fast becoming the Yaphet Kotto of the porn world. This does not mean he is chunky, black, and the grandson of the Crown Prince of Cameroon (thus making the analogy awkward) but instead that he appears prominently in a lot of movies and is not yet a big star. Calling Swiss articulate [...]

When tryptophan requires trip to can

Like you, I grew tired of my bloated aunts and uncles and high school friends after about three hours yesterday. So I looked around for a good family movie and, since Madagascar 2 and Quantum of Solace were sold out, I chose Slave 01 instead. “It must be this year’s The Color Purple,” I thought. [...]

Slave 01

Director: Mike Ramone Cast: Eric Swiss, Moxxie Maddron Portions of this review also appeared on Fleshbot At first, all we hear above the Blackness is the dragging of a chain, as if Marley’s Ghost has returned to the attic of the Cenobites. We are filled with unease. Master Eric wakes at 8 a.m. in his [...]
