“It’s a free count…“says Delirious Hunter near the opening of Invictus. This girl quickly catches herself and says instead, “Was a free country.” The video takes place in a world where the rule of law has been taken over by extremism, and only the strong survive. While it is technically set in a dystopian future, its themes and concerns are very much of the present moment: climate change, intolerance, anti-rationality, and prejudice against the media. It also delivers on the tangible chemistry and powerful sex scenes expected in any adult movie, particularly one from a brand as popular and acclaimed as Sssh.

It is often said that politics stops at the water’s edge, but sometimes it seems just like politics stops at the edge of the bedroom, also. Porn usually contents itself to focus on passion alone, with little room for serious discourse. Here are many notable exceptions, of course, and Invictus takes its place among the unique breed of video that can arouse your libido and intellect. Invictus unfolds in the post-apocalyptic landscape that made Apocalypse X and more recently Squirtwoman: Wasteland such popular hits, but it puts its own unique spin on the genre.

For the filmmakers, the movie’s political tone was no accident. “I am not a senator or congresswoman, so I have no vote on who gets to serve on the Supreme Court, or any input on the environmental policies – or any policies – government agencies enact or enforce,” director Angie Rowntree said. “As a filmmaker, my movies are my platform – and Invictus represents the first time I have used that platform to communicate a political message.” The movie’s script was written by Kitten Boheme, known for her scripts for movies such as Booty Thirst Trap as artfully as her continuing lineup of sex toy reviews.

The video delivers on the bottom line in terms of on-screen passion, also. “All three sex scenes are so unique and exquisitely executed that they take my breath away. Each adult gallery creates a flawless blend – or ménage à trois if you will – of cinema, art, and sex,” said Hunter. In a nice casting touch, the leads are played by a real-life husband and wife, Hunter and Joeydotrawr.

For some movies, a sequel seems just like a long shot. The fourth Indiana Jones video saw a series of false starts, misfires, rejected scripts, and production woes before it ultimately reached screens in 2008, a full 19 years once the previous installment. 2008 was a significant year for another reason: it saw the release of Fallen, one of the most acclaimed adult movies of the decade. Starring Jessica Drake as an angel fallen from grace, this adult version of Wings of Desire became an award winner and connoisseur favorite, still ranking in the top 100 on Adult Empire’s all-time bestseller lists. Even so, its expansive budget made a sequel seem unlikely in the financial crunches of the post-piracy era. But in matters both celestial and Wicked, the impossible sometimes becomes possible! Against all odds, Fallen II makes its debut this month on DVD in a remarkable sequel that belongs in each and every fan’s collection!

Fallen part one found Angel (Drake) falling in enjoy with a mortal, Keith (Brad Armstrong, the movie’s director and Drake’s real-life partner), but part two takes the saga in a darker direction along the lines of satanic clashes just like The Omen and End of Days. Drake and Armstrong become entangled with Max (Leigh Raven), whose unborn child promises to be the world’s savior. Both the forces of heaven and the forces of hell will do any single thing to take possession of Raven, setting up an epic battle of good and evil. A whopping seven sex scenes provide a passionate backdrop to this remarkable story of redemption, charged by memorable performances from stars new and old.

“We’re very proud to bring our loyal fans the next chapter in the saga,” Armstrong told AVN. “Jessica Drake is great in her return as the Fallen Angel from the original. As unbelievable as it sounds, the girl looks even better than the girl did ten years ago. Tommy Pistol is staggering as Pharzuph, the Devil’s minion. The guy is indeed this generation’s Randy Spears. Both Misty Stone and Isiah Maxwell took big leaps out of their comfort zones to play Archangels Gabriel and Azrael, and it honestly paid off. Last but not least, Leigh Raven was absolutely mesmerizing as Max, a down and out hooker who turns out to be this millennium’s version of the Virgin Mary and mom of the New Savior. They should all be commended for their efforts. Each and each and every member of the cast made the project that much better.”

“I feel just like the darkness in the sequel gives us an edge over the first one, and the acting from Leigh, Tommy, Misty, Brad and Isiah raises the bar even higher,” said Drake. “Playing opposite all of them was an amazing opportunity, and I am so grateful for the talent they brought to the table.”

The DVD version of the video is a deluxe two-disc set offering the full-length version of Fallen part one as a bonus.

Red Light District gets the green light!

The notorious brand behind top gonzo series such as Cum Stained Casting Couch and celeb sex tapes just like Screeched and 1 Night in China is now available on Adult Empire Unlimited! Over 300 Red Light District catalog titles can now be streamed as part of AE Unlimited, with the archive poised to grow each day over the coming months. It is just like your own personal trip to Amsterdam’s Red Light District, sans the hassle and expense of getting there!

The company was founded in 2001 by Dion Giarrusso (formerly of Elegant Angel) and the guys half-brother, David Joseph. Their mission was simple: create unflinchingly hardcore adult at a consistently high level of quality. Famed director Vince Vouyer was initially in charge of the company’s production side, spearheading such tone-setting series as Cum Swapping Sluts and Straight A Students. At first, the company was known for its 18+ teen movies, but it soon branched out into popular genres such as MILF and interracial. In all its many themes, the company sought to set itself apart from the pack with a commitment to quality. I believe it was the highest quality product at the time, Joseph told XBIZ in 2007. Right out of the gate we knew we absolutely wanted to strive to attempt and have the best quality, and that was forever the idea. Red Light District scored its biggest-ever marketing coup in 2004 when it struck a deal with Rick Salomon to distribute the infamous Paris Hilton sex tape. Further sex tapes, including one featuring Saved By The Bell‘s Dustin Diamond, soon followed.

Porn fans accustomed to seeing scenes shot in the elegant, luxurious Los Angeles homes have Red Light District to thank for starting the trend. As part of its overall attempt to bring a more high-quality feel to porn, the company opted to shoot scenes in upscale homes rather than hotel rooms, as was then a common practice. I think that was all part of the concept and I think that’s why it worked, Joseph said in 2007. Ownership and creative control of the company has changed over the years, but in August 2018, co-founder David Joseph announced the dude had re-acquired the brand and planned to amp up its production schedule.

As a result, there is no better time to explore Red Light District classics on AE Unlimited! If you are looking for a good starting point, we recommend going all the way back to 100% Natural, RDL’s first-ever release. In addition to featuring some entertaining performances from throwback stars just like Sophie Evans, it boasts an early directorial credit for talented filmmaker/pornstar Toni Ribas!
