Hot and Mean

Brazzers has released a dizzying array of hundreds of titles over the years, but its "Hot and Mean" series stands out from the pack for two reasons. First, the vignettes unfold with more impact because (as the title suggests) it's not the usual wimpy stag-movie skit of "yap, yap, yap...hump, hump, hump...facial". There's a sting and some confrontation involved.

Secondly, the action is all-girl. That means we won't have to sit through Keiran Lee waving his big dick at the camera for the thousandth time (indeed, the label celebrated his 1,000 vignette recently by treating the tired performer to a reverse gang-bang) or any of his comrades in penis like Johnny Sins or Scott Nails.

The femme cast is quite talented in this first compilation from the website, eschewing the big names (like Julia & Lisa Ann) but giving us a welcome return of all-time favorite Janine.

This marks a rare post-retirement appearance by Ms. Lindemulder, who one must recall started her career as strictly girl/girl, most often teamed with Julia Ann who improbably went on to eclipse her in terms of longevity and sustained popularity. Here Janine is featured in "The Escort Killer", paired with Jessica Jaymes in a hard-boiled crime episode that has a nice twist ending.

Elsewhere the spotlight falls on plenty of little-known talent, especially in the bonus segment set in prison starring Jayme Langford, Valerie Rios and a host of unidentified extras (you have to be in the XXX action to get a credit from Brazzers).

The compilation aspect is underscored by two different screen ratios present, with some vignettes shown in 1.66:1 while most have the later widescreen dimensions. Dildos figure prominently to compensate for the absence of males, and an all-blonde 3-way including top-heavy Puma Swede and pals, set at a strip club, is something of a highlight.
