PORNOGRAPHY
DVD. Your Choice

PornographyFilm titles don't come much more no-nonsense than this, and this collection of scenes from Daisy Rock certainly lives up to the blunt billing.

Daisy Rock is one of Britain's biggest porn stars and, at 35, more mature, experienced and downright insatiable than most. And while British porn isn't always something that the discerning viewer will choose to watch – far too much prosaic, low rent crap is made in this country, quite frankly – this 3 hour plus collection offers a solid variety of styles, the one connecting factor being Miss Rock herself.

The DVD features six unconnected scenes (plus a couple of bonus clips), ranging from pseudo-documentary reality to more narratively constructed moments. The former are the best, as they have a surprising freshness and honesty to them. Fan Fuck, for instance, has the 18 year old winner of a website competition invited to live the dream by getting it on with Daisy. It's a scene with a curious charm, at least early on, as the gawky fan eagerly chats before getting stuck in. It feels pretty real, and is as much about the personal interaction as it is the sex (which, notably, takes place with a condom being worn).

Equally raw is Ruined By Steve Holmes, with Daisy hooking up with the German porn stud at the Venus erotic show. This hotel room scene is pretty intense stuff, and filmed in an all-too-real haphazard manner (the event's cameraman getting the lion's share of the best shots, and Daisy's camcorder-holding buddy having to grab what he can). The fact that a lot of the more graphic close-up shots you'd expect are missing or compromised is actually quite refreshing.

Daisy RockThe more obviously constructed scenes include Daisy and Sara Jay enjoying a remarkably cute and compliant slave girl in Asian Teen Fuck Toy, Tabitha Richards and Richard Mann joining her at the Xbiz conference in My Biggest Ever Black Cock and super cute Satine Spark auditioning as Daisy's Office Junior. These are all solidly shot, rather hot little vignettes with an emphasis on the older Rock dominating the younger female partners. Only Manhunt doesn't work – it tries to set itself up as some fake-Grindhouse type effort, but does so rather sloppily and soon abandons all pretensions for a vigorous but uninspired coupling with Johnny Cockfill, who has the bad habit of gurning like an ape while trying to look intense. No wonder he ended up as a Big Brother contestant.

The two bonus scenes appeal to specific fetishes – Smoking and Dirty Talk is self-explanatory, and depending on your tastes, you'll either be wildly excited or vaguely nauseated by it. Dirty Pissing Pornstars sees Daisy and rude looking Megan Coxxx sharing a shower and urinating – but not on each other, you'll be relieved or saddened to hear. Why these two scenes are not part of the main body of the DVD is anyone's guess, especially as they are listed as equally a part of the disc on the back cover.

How much you enjoy this will, of course, depend on how much you like Daisy Rock. This is the first time I've seen her in action, and I was pretty impressed – she has a better presence and more convincing sexuality than a lot of the British performers I've seen, and doesn't make me cringe when talking dirty (and how!) in an English accent – something that usually feels dreadfully unconvincing. Corset fans might be saddened to hear that the cover image is not representative on any scene in the film, but that aside, this is a varied and impressive collection of scenes that deliver exactly what the title promises.
