Sasha Grey

Movie Review: Malice in Lala Land

September 2, 2011

The Alice in Wonderland craze of the last couple of years produced a pair of remarkable porn tributes, one of which is Malice in Lala Land. For those who missed it until now, we’re happy to say that this title can keep you Sasha Grey fans warm at night now that she’s off seeking her fortune in the “respectable” part of Hollywood. Even if she’s not your cup of tea, Sasha is but one of a good-looking and hard-riding cast of girls in this title, which was directed by Lew Xypher for Miss Lucifer and distributed by Vivid.

Malice (Sasha Grey) escapes from the oppressive hospital where she’s being held like a prisoner with the help of Rabbit (Stephen Powers). A creepy orderly named Jabbowski (Dirty Fred) has to report to Dr. Queenie (Andy San Dimas) that Malice has escaped. Queenie orders Jabbowski to find Malice, but first he follows the doctor and spies on her as she adjourns to the morgue for some group sex. Hey, it takes the edge off after receiving bad news. Chayse Evans is already there giving head. The women suck and ride a pair of guys while never neglecting each other. There’s partner swapping and lots of active fucking from both girls, who are two of the hottest around. When the men pop, Queenie and Chayse share the load with a sloppy, sexy cum-swap.

Meanwhile, Malice in her bunny slippers and robe (and then sans robe) follows Rabbit through the desert. Jabbowski almost catches her when she stops to clean up and steal some clothes at a gas station that’s been converted into somebody’s house, but the redneck occupants of said property (Alan Stafford and Kagney Linn Karter) chase him off. Kagney even looks sexy dressed as trailer trash. Having defended their territory, the redneck couple celebrates by having sex in their station wagon while Malice and Rabbit watch through the gas station windows. Their voyeurism and the exhibitionism of fucking in a car during the daytime make an erotic scene even hotter.

Afterward, Malice hitches a ride from Chester (Keni Styles, dressed like Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and driving a similar car), who talks her into posing for photos in exchange for the ride. Jabbowski nearly catches them, but he’s waylaid by a wreck that gives him no option but to steal a guy’s scooter. Chester rents a hotel room where he, wearing a Cheshire Cat head, takes photos of Malice in an Alice outfit. This soon gets Malice excited enough to start blowing Chester, who reciprocates by sucking her nipples, eating her out, and giving her a ride on his Asian-British cock. She has a perfect ass for cowgirl position and this is one of Sasha Grey’s more passionate scenes.

Chester invites Malice to join him at Mad Hatter’s sex party, but first they have to confront Jabbowski when he breaks into their room. While he’s out cold, they tie him up and leave to visit Chester’s friend Kater Pills (Ron Jeremy), a strip club owner who’s auditioning two new girls (Mackenzee Pierce and Jesse Capelli). Kater gives Malice a mushroom and chats about sex with her while Chester sits close to the stage. They watch the strippers play with each other onstage for a while, and Malice has a little mild trip from the mushroom. Chester and Malice leave Kater snoozing next to his hookah.

They go to the party and Malice browses through the rooms where kinky scenarios are unfolding. She’s invited into a couple of these rooms, but Malice finds Alyssa Reece and Kristina Rose most tempting. Alyssa says Kristina likes watching her with other women and Malice can’t resist. Can you blame her? Sexy Kristina swigs absinthe and masturbates beautifully while Malice and Alyssa kiss and caress. Soon all three women are a gorgeous tangle of fondling limbs, sucked nipples, and fingered orifices. They glow with sweat under the red lights as they fuck each other in a daisy chain with strap-ons, kissing and fingering each other all the while. This is the kind of scene with repeat play value.

Meanwhile, Chester in his Cheshire Cat mask is having one freaky threesome with two girls in bunny heads, who turn out to be Juelz Ventura and Sadie West. (Keni Styles sure is the luckiest guy in this movie!) It’s a hot and nasty, surreal, quick-edited romp that will pique the interest of the fetish crowd.

Jabbowski escapes and tracks Malice down at the sex club, but she manages to get away and winds up in a car with a trio who are going to shoot a threeway scene at an old diner. Their camera guy took off running when he saw Jabbowski’s gun, so Malice takes over for him. It’s only fair, since she practically kicked him out of the car. Tommy Gunn and Billy Glide play diner customers who order a dish that’s not on the menu from waitress Phoenix Marie. From the costumes to the music (which is very different from the rest of the soundtrack), this scene has a fun 1970s feel. Phoenix can always be counted on to give a good anal scene and that’s what she delivers here.

This twisted faerie tale must come to an end sometime, but we don’t want to spoil all the surprises. Malice in Lala Land is that rare breed of porno that can be enjoyed for its plot as well as its hardcore scenes.

Sasha Grey Stars in Eminem’s New Video

February 21, 2011

LOS ANGELES — Sasha Grey stars in rapper Eminem’s latest music video called Space Bound and also gears up for the release of her new book titled Neu Sex.

Grey, who successfully crossed over to mainstream playing various roles including Vince’s girlfriend in HBO’s “Entourage,” now plays the role of Eminem’s leading lady in the video, which was shot over the past few days in Santa Clarita, Calif.

According to reports, Eminem and Grey, who is an aspiring musician and DJ, were acting out an intense storyline and were in every scene together.

Spacebound is the fourth single from Eminem’s Recovery album.

Grey’s new photobook features portraits and pictures taken by herself and fiancee Ian Cinnamon, a professional photographer.

“When I first got into the adult industry, I decided to take my photography much more seriously,” she said.

“I started taking a camera with me to capture my experiences on set, so it was a moment in time, a memory for myself — not the video that would be seen by thousands of people. Documenting myself has almost become a necessity.”

The book is set to hit stores March 29, but can be preordered on Amazon.com.

CNBC Names Top Porn Stars

January 19, 2011

CNBC.com recently featured the top 12 performers in the adult industry in an article called, “The Dirty Dozen: Porn’s Most Popular Stars.”

By Chris Morris, Special to CNBC.com

Popularity in the porn industry is often fleeting. Some performers experience a meteoric rise and fall in the course of a year. Others connect with the audience on a different level and manage a multi-year ride at the top.

Though there is no real formula for success in this industry, these 12 performers have proven to be more than just a flash in the pan, with tremendous staying power over the past few years. What’s more there are no signs their careers are in danger of waning anytime soon.

So, with the industry’s annual expo underway in Las Vegas Jan. 6-9, we’ve assembled porn’s dirty dozen—the most popular porn stars, based on our reporting and analysis.

Ashlynn Brooke: Brooke has been working in adult films for nearly five years, earning multiple award nominations. She also appeared in last year’s “Piranha 3D,” which has helped escalate her earlier porn films. These days, however, she’s focusing more on work behind the camera, directing parody-film versions of “Little Red Riding Hood” and “Wonder Woman”.

Jenna Haze: The 28-year-old Haze is arguably the most popular performer in the porn today. She has been nominated for the “Female Performer of the Year” award for three years running at the AVN Awards (porn’s equivalent of the Oscars). Haze also picked up a similar nomination at the 2009 Xbiz Awards. Meanwhile, she is one of the most popular stars with members of the Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network (AEBN)

Jesse Jane: Jane is, for many, the face of modern porn. She was one of the top-line stars of the smash “Pirates” films (two of the biggest porn movies of all time). Jane is also hosting this year’s AVN red-carpet ceremony and received performer of the year nods in 2009 and 2010. She’s nominated for the same category in this year’s Xbiz Awards, which she will also host.

Lisa Ann: The 38-year-old Lisa Ann had a run in the 1990s as a porn actress, but quit in 1997, eventually returning as an agent. In 2008, though, her meteoric rise to fame came when she portrayed Sarah Palin in a porn parody. She has since gone on to be one of the most popular on-demand stars with AEBN.

Evan Stone: Ron Jeremy is the industry’s most famous male performer, but 46-year old Stone could be his successor. His sense of humor makes him one of the most popular leading men in the industry among female performers – and fans enjoy a male actor who doesn’t take himself too seriously.

Tori Black: A three-year veteran of the industry with more than 200 film s under her belt, Black began as a Penthouse Pet. She won 2010’s AVN performer of the year award and is nominated again in 2011. The story’s the same with the Xbiz Awards. And, like Haze, Black is one of the top stars at AEBN. Among her highlights in 2010 was a spin as Catwoman in Vivid’s incredibly popular “Batman XXX: A Porn Parody”

Bobbi Starr: A finalist in “America’s Next Hot Porn Star,” Starr failed to win the 2007 pay-per-view reality show, but that hasn’t slowed her rise. She has racked up more than half a dozen awards and may be the industry’s next crossover star, having been cast in the upcoming film “Drive” with Ryan Gosling, Albert Brooks and Christina Hendricks.

Lexi Belle: One of the younger superstars of the industry at 23, Belle has earned top-performer nods for two years running from AVN and Xbiz. She is, perhaps, even more popular with the Web audience, which has made her website one of the biggest in the industry.

Kayden Kross: Kross has been a contract star with both of the production firms Adam & Eve and Digital Playground, making her one of today’s most in demand stars. She will cohost this year’s AVN red carpet with Jesse Jane and is nominated for best performer for the second consecutive year.

Belladonna: While Belladonna appears to be stepping back from performing in porn films, this 29-year old actor/director/producer has one of the most loyal fan bases in the industry. Both straight men and lesbian women have kept Belladonna among the most popular stars – even when she shaved her head. She has been nominated for 42 AVN awards (and won 10) through the course of her career.

Sasha Grey: Grey’s not actively making porn films at the moment, but her push into mainstream acting – including a lead role in Steven Soderbergh’s 2008 film “The Girlfriend Experience”, and a recurring role on HBO’s “Entourage” – has kept her porn works popular. Several companies are also putting out compilation titles with select scenes of her uninhibited past, which fans continue to buy.

Joanna Angel: Like Belladonna, Angel owns her studio – meaning she makes money from sales, not just performances. The punk look she and her actors share has given rise to a new segment in the industry, dubbed alt porn.

Sasha Grey’s Mainstream Crossover

December 29, 2010

When Sasha Grey landed a recurring role on HBO’s “Entourage” series, it definitely didn’t hurt the porn career that she seemed well on the way to leaving behind. If anything, she has been an even bigger money-maker on VOD theaters than she already was, as those who didn’t already know her hardcore porn flicks scrambled to see more of her than they were getting on the TV show. As a result, she is one of five nominees for Performer of the Year at the 2011 VOD Awards, along with her 2011 AVN nominations for Crossover Star of the Year and more.

“Fuck Sasha Grey,” a collection of previously unreleased scenes that Belladonna directed throughout Sasha’s porn career, was released in spring of 2010 and became an instant classic, the subject of rave reviews and recipient of numerous award nominations. It’s up for Best All-Sex Release and Best Double Penetration Sex Scene at AVN Awards 2011. As if that weren’t enough to recommend it, the movie is twice nominated for AVN’s Most Outrageous Sex Scene award: for the furry-themed “Bearly Legal” with a costumed Tony T. and the BDSM-themed “Humiliation in the Bathroom” vignette with Claire Adams.

Sasha is no stranger to the awards circuit, having won AVN Performer of the Year shortly before her 20th birthday, less than two years after she did her first scene. To date, she’s the youngest girl to win that top honor. Before that, she’d already won some awards, including Best Group Sex Scene for that infamous “Fashionistas Safado the Challenge” orgy scene that marked her porn debut. All the top critics’ groups have showered her with titles such as Favorite Oral Starlet, Number One Porn Star of the Year, Crossover Star of the Year, and more.

Though she’s been doing mainstream film work for a couple of years, 2010 will likely be remembered as the year Sasha really crossed over – maybe for good, if the rumors of her adult industry retirement are true. Her recurring role on season seven of “Entourage” was a big deal and has led to further mainstream acting roles. Sasha made news again in September when she graced the cover of Playboy magazine, reportedly the first hardcore porn star to do so. In the coming year, Sasha’s got even more big plans. Her mainstream movie career heats up with “I Melt With You,” a Hollywood movie that won’t require her to play a sex worker. It will debut at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2011 and stars Jeremy Piven, Rob Lowe, Thomas Jane, and Carla Gugino. Neu Sex, a book of Sasha’s photography documenting life on porn sets, is scheduled for a February 2011 release. She’ll be on the eighth and final season of “Entourage” in summer 2011.

As she has slowly worked her way into going “legit,” studios have found ways of continuing to bring out Sasha Grey scenes. Filmed at some point in 2010, “Future Soccer Mom Sluts” came out in October 2010. Going from playing a future MILF to a teenaged slut, she’s also in the youthful “Teen Cum Junkies,” in a typically Sasha-style rough and filthy scene with Manuel Ferrara. In November, “Couples Erotic Games 2” showed Sasha in another ass-focused fuck fest. There are more “new” scenes on the way, so even though she most likely hasn’t filmed any new fucking in a while, we have yet to see the last Sasha Grey porn!

Sasha Grey Lands Yet Another Mainstream Role

November 5, 2010

Porn star Sasha Grey continues her crossover trajectory from the adult industry to mainstream entertainment with a new role in a movie called “Skinny Dip.” Grey, who played a call girl in Steven Soderbergh’s “The Girlfriend Experience” and scored a recurring role on “Entourage,” takes the lead role in “a revenge story involving a young woman and a policeman,” Movieline reports.

The film is directed by Frankie Latina and costars Danny Trejo (of the 2010 action blockbuster, ‘Machete”), Michelle Rodriquez, (familiar to fans of TV’s ‘Lost” as Ana Lucia) and Eric Roberts (who has a long, checkerboard resume of stunning award winners and bargain bin turkeys).

Celeb and style blog, The Frisky, says this: “It seems entirely possible that in the not-too-distant future, the line between “mainstream movies” and “porn” will cease to exist and NC-17 ratings will become a thing of the past. What do you think?”
