I'm a 24 year old married woman in an open relationship, bisexual, and a writer. I love reading, especially about human sexuality. I enjoy porn and erotica of all flavors, especially because it opens my eyes to the variety of the human sexual experience! I'm pretty nerdy, but I've been told that nerd sex is the best sex. Who am I to argue with that? I love when women orgasm, and I love how visually stimulating fetish and bondage pornography can be. Hurray for corsets!

Cicra 82 - Vivid Alt
Imagine 1982, “a time when punk was as raw as the sex.”
Circa ’82, a recent release from Vivid-Alt, was directed, produced, and written by photographer Dave Naz with the help of his porn star girlfriend, Ashley Blue. I love the work of Dave Naz – beautiful, trashy, and just the right amount of vintage. Even the DVD cover art of Circa ’82 was exciting, featuring a post-modern hodgepodge of images from the film, both sexual and otherwise.
Circa ’82, “a movie so perverse it’s 26 years in the making,” has personality even down to the musical score, featuring music from punk legends, the Circle Jerks, and with an all-star cast including Alex Gonz, Julius Ceazher, Lexi Belle, Madison Young, Maya Hills, Sasha Grey, Tony T, and of course, Ashley Blue.
Scene One
Ashley Blue is dressed in her best 1982 attire in a vintage stripped sweatshirt and sexy platform shoes with lovely red straps around her ankles. Then she’s in a room with a man (who looks kind of cromagnum) on her knees and he’s rubbing her ample ass. With no dialogue or hesitation, his pants are down and his cock is in her mouth. He holds the back of Ashley’s head as he throat fucks her, and all you hear are wonderful gagging slurping sounds along with the punk-esque obligatory porn music. With drool dripping from her lips she comes up for air and runs her tongue over his dick. Usually porn doesn’t focus much on the men’s facial expressions, but Dave Naz is sure to get the raw, intense look of pure pleasure on this man’s face as Ashley Blue goes at him.
Soon he can’t stand anymore so he slumps down on a nearby chair, with Ashley not missing a beat, still on her knees sucking him off. With his dick dripping wet with her saliva, he stands her up, shoves his fingers into her throat in a nearly intimate gesture, and gives her ass a satisfying slap while she continues working at him with her hands. Now it’s Ashley’s turn as he starts to rub her, kissing at her chest and neck. One hot part about how this scene starts is how they’re both still clothed, but eventually he reaches into her shirt (circa ’82, I’m sure) and gives her nipple a satisfying pinch. Then they’re back on the chair and she’s going down on him again with so much slurping and gagging I’m not sure if I feel sorry for her or envy her.
Then, without warning, he’s flipped Ashley onto her side and has his dick in her ass so fast that if you’re not paying attention you just might miss it. One of my favorite parts about this is Ashley’s delightfully feminine moans as she’s being fucked. This girl may be nasty, but she’s still a girl, even with a man holding her back by the throat as she’s taking it up the ass. It’s important to realize that not every woman likes to be handled this way, so rough and borderline violent, but it’s obvious that dear Ashley is enjoying herself, especially when her partner plays with her tits and sticks a few fingers into her twat. After a little bit of this, she’s back on her knees and she’s sucking him off again, direct from ass to mouth.
Little details make this movie fun – the goofy looking converse shoe shoved in the corner, the floor with red and blue primary colored tiles, the yellow telephone and the weird turquoise potted plant, colored to match the walls perfectly. Dave Naz obviously paid attention to details when he made this film, trying to make it as 1982 as he could. Though, being born in 1984 myself, I can’t help but feel that if the 80s were indeed this fun, I sure missed out on something.
Next, Ashley is on her knees in the red chair, which is a lot of fun because the camera person (Dave?) takes all sorts of fun upside down, sideways angled shot of her, which add a lot of variety and artistic merit not found in most other pornographies. Hell, even the shadows on the wall look good. Eventually, Ashley and her partner switch sexual positions more times than I can count, but then there is a nice close up of Ashley’s naughty bits while she is being fucked in the ass, reverse cowgirl style. This part of the scene is intense and raw, but eventually you get to see how nicely her boobs bounce when she’s being fucked. This is also the first time I noticed how strong and beautiful Ashley’s legs are, and flexible, too!
Finally, when he’s had enough of her ass, Ashley is on her knees a final time and opens her mouth wide to receive is cum. One disappointing part of this scene is I’m not sure if Ashley Blue ever actually had her own climax, but despite that, I’m sure she had a lot of fun, anyway. I know I have a rule in my own sex life that if I haven’t orgasmed, the sex isn’t over! I think all female porn stars should take this stance, too (and real orgasms, not just fake) but that’s just me!
The music begins again, they’ve had enough of one another, and the clothes come back on. What a strange, sexy encounter! He leans back in his fuck chair and reaches for the phone, and Ashley says “can you wait until I’m gone before making your plans tonight? The cum hasn’t even dried yet.”
Oh wait. Maybe this movie really does have a plot!
“Haven’t you ever heard of fucking etiquette?” Ashley asks. Hot sex, a plot, and clever dialogue!
Scene two
A scruffy looking man in a Black Flag shirt starts his story, “so, I was drinking beer at a party, of course.” The blonde Maya Hills is sitting next to him with her cute short hair, even if she does have funny teeth. The man on the other side of her laughs, too, as the first guy finishes telling his story. This could be any scene of any friends in their early twenties – sitting around talking shit about the Establishment. One guy leaves, and before he’s even left the room the blonde Maya has her hand in the Black Flag guy’s pants.
Ah, to be young.
Soon he’s licking her tits (because women didn’t wear bras in 1982; so sad I missed that!) her skirt comes off and he’s going down on her. Then his pants come down a bit and she’s going down on him. He throat fucks her a bit, then bends her over and starts fucking her doggy style. Maya is kind of cute, but there’s just something about her fuck faces that bother me, but then again, isn’t there that old joke about God watching us all have sex and laughing about how silly we look? Maybe it’s kind of like that.
So, Black Flag guy spends most of his time fucking Maya Hill doggy style on the couch, though he takes a few moments out to be sucked off, only to stick it in her again. This scene is not as rough and raunchy as the scene with Ashley Blue, but it’s still pretty hot. Eventually Maya mounts the guy on the couch, and here she really seems to get into it, especially as Black Flag guy starts sucking on her pretty titties. As he fucks her, her ass gives the most satisfying jiggle ever. Then he’s on top of her on the couch, gasping and gasping. When he’s about ready to blow, he comes in Maya’s mouth, where she finishes him off nicely.
Again, like the last scene, the music from the Circle Jerks returns and they put their clothes back on.
One great addition to Circa ’82 are the little interlude vignettes in between scenes. This really ads to the personality of this film! These vignettes often feature cameo appearances by other porn stars, and even a few punk legend icons, such as Keith Morris, Don Bolles, and Jim Lane Killroy.
Scene three features Lexi Bell, a blonde with brunette roots, in bed with a boy, talking about movies or music or what ever it is kids talk about before they do it. For a moment the film is delightfully self aware of itself, which convinces me of how clever Dave and Ashley are.
They start making out, and Lexi Bell is so cute and young with her yellow panties! She starts going down on the boy, who is pretty good looking himself. This scene is actually pretty cute and hot – it’s not just fucking, it really does seem like to teenagers getting naughty while the parents are gone. I don’t want to sound like a hopeless romantic or anything, but there’s just something to be said about two people who are willing to kiss one another while they’re fucking.
Soon, Lexi’s panties are off and she’s on top of him, really enjoying herself, and then, they flip around and 69 for a while. I love to see women get pleasured in any way, so this was a huge treat for me! Most porns focus exclusively on male sexual gratification, and any porn that is aware of a woman’s own sexual needs is a major plus in my book.
Next she’s on top of him reverse cowgirl style and he’s playing with her pussy. Then she’s on her side and he’s fucking her with her legs up all round him and he’s fucking her so hard that the bed is shaking, holding onto her breast so tightly it’s like his life depends on it. They both start to get into it so much, and it’s no longer innocent teenage sex, but hard core raunchy fucking, especially when his hand goes around her neck, pinning her girlish body to the bed. After a while he flips her onto her knees and goes at her doggy style (my personal favorite style). When he’s done (and a few more dick sucking) he comes in her mouth.
Again, I doubt Lexi
As soon as they’re done, they hear a noise – the parents, perhaps? A nice little vignette follows, demonstrating the powers of the Establishment vs the Raw Youth (with even a reference to teen pregnancy, which in fact was and continues to be a huge problem!)
Scene four starts with a cute petite little brunette with long dark hair, Sasha Grey, watching a black man pee. This isn’t something I see every day… They talk about something… peeing? But their voices are a bit mumbled, or maybe I’m just too hard of hearing (being born in 1984 and all)
When he’s done, Sasha cleans him up – how delightfully taboo! They go into the other room where she continues to suck him off. For having a head so small, I’m amazed she can fit that dick into her mouth! She starts to suck on his balls while he jerks himself off (wearing a Circle Jerks t-shirt, of course!) then she continues to deep throat him. She then goes onto her knees and he sticks it in her, right around her cute red panties. She mumble some dirty talk which I’m sure would be great if I could understand what she was saying, but that doesn’t matter because she gets a few wonderful slaps on her ass.
Her black converse are cute, too.
Finally her panties come off and we see a nice little patch of healthy dark pubic hair. Then he bends her over and fucks her hard. Sasha starts screaming “tear my fucking cunt!” Wow, dirty mouth for such a little girl.
Next she mounts him reverse cowgirl style, and it’s pretty hot watching her pale leg skin against his dark thighs. Eventually they grow tired of that and he’s on his back and she’s sucking on off again, deep throating him, gagging herself on his thick cock. Then when they’re ready, she climbs on top of him and starts riding him. He then lifts her up and holds her while he fucks her, which is a feat that amazes me (I’m convinced only porn stars can do this) and finally he comes in her mouth, and she licks the last tiny little drop of spooge from his penis.
The music starts again and they get dressed. There is another great vignette, and then scene five begins.
Scene five has an attractive Hispanic man, and cute little tall leggy auburn haired beauty, Madison Young, talking about music. They soon busy their mouths with other things as they kiss and he sucks on her perfectly erect nipples. (again, no bras in 1982)
Very quickly he pulls her skirt up over her hips and starts fingering her, then the panties come off and she’s playing with herself and his finger is in her ass. Just when she starts to be getting into it, she starts sucking him off. The throat fucking is nice, though, and she really seems to enjoy licking his balls.
Then he flips her over and sticks his cock in her ass, and Ms. Young gets quite vocal, screaming and moaning and making weird goat-like sounds. He’s fucking her ass hard while she’s playing with her pussy, and then – wait, Ashley Blue, how did you get here?
She just kind of walks into the scene and sits down and watches, chewing some bubble gum. Am I a voyeur watching a voyeur watch some exhibitionists?
Hispanic man flips
When they’re done, he comes in her mouth, scene ends, music starts, they put on their clothes. Ashley comes to hangout, and then the credits roll.
All in all, I really loved this film from Vivid-Alt. Dave Naz is great and talented – he really takes pornography into an art form that isn’t just about sex, but about aesthetics, too. The sex was great, Alex Gonz, Julius Ceazher, Lexi Belle, Madison Young, Maya Hills, Sasha Grey, Tony T, and Ashley Blue are all fucking sexy, the music from the Circle Jerks was fun. This is probably my favorite porn I’ve seen up to now, and I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys sex and edginess, but most of all, sex so raunchy “it’s 26 years in the making.”
Interested in seeing this movie?

LMAO!!! I am sorry. I am laughing at somewhat of an inside joke that has nothing to do with this movie (I reviewed this a while back). You mentioned the attention to detail. I recently got a good talking to by a porn star about how I am not supposed to be paying attention to things like the shoe on the floor, the couch, what is hung on the wall, the carpet,n his tattoo work, that I am supposed to be paying attention to him and who he is fucking and if he is doing a good job. I just think this is funny as hell. I am not the only person who notices this stuff, in fact, you are the third person that I have noticed points these things out.

oh, I'm so sorry to tread on your work! I had no idea that this has already been reviewed. -_-' My apologies...
that said, maybe this should be proof to those in the porn industry that some people DO notice detail, and that detail can make or break a film! (I thought the shoe on the floor was a nice touch. lol)
Thanks for the comment!

You aren't treading on my work. In fact I love to read different viewpoints on things. I was thrilled when I think it was JD reviewed Harlequin because I didn't like it all that much and he loved it. Seriously, there is no way to keep up with all the reviews on the site and who reviews what, even if there was, the more opinions some can get on a movie the better if you ask me.

And that attention to detail is definitely appreciated. I really enjoyed this review...maybe a bit more than I enjoyed the movie.

Very cool, sweets -- like a frickin' short-story. And yeah, re all above comments, there are no etched-in-stone rules reviewing XXX, save word minimum, and make it spark so the readers are intrigued. Hell, the writer has to entertain him/herself too, to keep crankin' this stuff out! Really, that applies to any writing, as the very essence of the innovative impulse is to either "rupture" the line, or stand the standard objects on their heads ("What about the shoe on the floor"). Don't worry about a re-review either; it's inevitable at some juncture. Yeah, this all cracks me up: Imagine your above review as a serious New Yorker short-story. The nerdy detachment further fucks with the fuck machine; gotta love it. We should all drum up an interactive list of how many ways there are to "fuck around." And Sasha's in this, cool! It's comin' back to me now; this was previewed on the mis-fired King Cobra DVD. And re Adaora's comments, hell yeah. I might dig Circa '82, but point is, I almost always dig Adaora's writing more than WHAT she's reviewing. We just gotta spend more time mixing smut in the big picture too. All this just re-affirms my anti-compartmentalization rebellion, whereby the principal porn irony is that it's the flip-side of church: conservative in terms of TOTAL desire. I guess your "short-story" review is summoning up "essay" comments. ;-)Clusterfuck all categorizations!
