| jashnew Member  232 Posts 3/05 |  Posted - Aug 18 2011 : 11:49PMI watched the Wicked movie "Tattle Tale." I was looking forward to it because it had Jessica Drake, Kirsten Price,Dylan Ryder, and Monique Alexander. Jessica Drake had 2 scenes but each of her scenes only had two positions and the entire scene lasted 7-8 minutes. What's the point? I'm trying to figure out who Wicked is trying to appeal to. People who watch Cinemax and want to try porn? Seems like a weird business model. [Link] |

| Gore Gore Girl Doctor of the Erotic Arts 7238 Posts 1/09 | Posted - Aug 19 2011 : 12:49PM I agree with blacksix -- they're appealing to fans of features. No mystery there. However, the weakness of the movies themselves, as noted, is in my opinion a fairly recent development. I don't know if it's the changing market, the departure of David Stanley and his creative energy, or a combination, or something else. But it's been a while since I have actively sought out a Wicked flick, and it used to be pretty much all I watched. I mean, think back, waaaaay back, to 2007. Operation: Desert Stormy was great, and then before that in 2005 they put out Powertool Massacre which almost single-handedly got me into porn. In between all that Stormy was putting out great little rom-coms, and Stanley was doing his thing. It makes me sad that things seem to have taken a more mediocre route. [Link] |

| Savoy All-Star Member Sucker for Sinners 1844 Posts 12/06 | Posted - Aug 20 2011 : 4:52AM Whatever spark existed for me 5 years ago is gone. I guess once u figure out Armstrong is on auto-pilot most of the time and you're not clicking with Daniel's stuff or Raven's, it's time to move on. The only one i'm interested in watching would be Morgan, but i've read some pretty mediocre reviews so i didn't bother to try them. Hadn't paid much attention to Wicked over the last two years, but Barrett Blade is directing for them now? Any opinions on his work? Is there anyone directing at Wicked who is fucking their porno-disney formula just a teensy bit? [Link] |

| T0MBOne Senior Member 1200 Posts 5/08 | Posted - Aug 28 2011 : 11:06AM (By the way, a typical Wicked sex scene seems to be about 13 or 14 minutes and I'm basing that on all the bonus scenes that have appeared in the Special Features of recent stuff that I've reviewed) TEACHERS PET---Stormy directs Gracie Glam in a little thriller. I would have incorporated more of Gracie's blowjob skills into this tale because that minimizes the condom use that so many folks seem to bitch about. No surprise here: Stormy sticks a sex scene (Ash Hollywood and a guy) at the front end before Gracie's character hardly says a word. Losing that sex scene (sticking it in the extras as a deleted scene) would have tightened the story and put more focus on Gracie, duh, that gal that graces the DVD cover! COUGARS TAKE IT BLACK---I've hated recent Jonathon Morgan "comedies" but this one seems to work because it's more of a vignette thing set up by three different cougar characters conversing over cups of coffee. In other words, Morgan didn't have to come up with a beginning, middle, and end. (And maybe that's a good thing) A star emerged from among the cougars (Raquel Devine) so give her more to do in some future MILF flick whether it be a sequel to this DVD or whatever. A TOUCH OF SEDCTION---Brad Armstrong directs an all African American cast for the Wicked Passions line so this one isn't a feature but the sort of art core thing that Kendo keeps making for Daring! The good news is that a deleted scene appears in the Special Features and I'm hoping that Armstrong finds a way to put more deleted scenes into the extras of future productions that he directs. For example, I can name a sex scene from 4SOME that truly belongs there and similar scenes are easily found in other Armstong directed discs. Um, what are some of the best features written by Stanley? [Link] |
| skyway Member 192 Posts 7/06 | Posted - Aug 28 2011 : 12:01PM My issues with Wicked are as follows: 1) Scenes too short 2) Redundancy and/or lack of quality male talent. Randy Spears is like 50 years old. He might have been amazing when he was in his 20s and 30s. Ditto Brad Armstrong. Looks like they may be improving in this regard lately, though. [Link] |
| Aplus Senior Member 1431 Posts 5/05 | Posted - Aug 28 2011 : 12:41PM I not only love the idea of sex and story, but actually really prefer it. I feel I've seen hundreds of films that mix sex and story very well, unfortunately modern porn seems to produce way too many stinkers. Things do appear to be changing, although I haven't sampled nearly enough newer material to truly believe. I've never been one to believe that sex scenes have to be overly long to be affective. Short scenes often deliver very restrained scenes though, probably more because the filmmakers have no real passion or desire to shoot them IMHO. I don't have a general problem with Brad Armstrong as a performer, and have none with Randy Spears, who I consider top knotch at even around 50. Some films or ideas simply call for older talent, even though age is often ignored. There is simply way too much talent out there to be using the same talent all the time. I've never been a big fan of contract performers or excessively repeat performers. I think it tends to cause and build complacency or boredom. Wicked, and most other companies, look like they're finally willing to really mix-it-up more, which would be a welcome change for me. [Link] |

| T0MBOne Senior Member 1200 Posts 5/08 | Posted - Aug 28 2011 : 4:42PM I tend to pick on Wicked because they at least have the technical resources to do better; their current writers/directors just leave me scratching my head when really all they need to do is update a few plot devices and such from classic porn titles---TB [Link] |
