The Top Ten SEXY FILM of 2010

Goldenmuse's Ladies Choice List:
The Top Ten of 2010

OK Ladies, you know Goldenmuse has always got your back when it comes to top adult picks for women. And in many ways, the year 2005 was the Year of the Woman in adult entertainment.
OK, I know that in many ways every year is the Year of the Woman in adult; referring to the porn star chickstas with overwhelmingly big breasts and cripplingly high heels that your boyfriend and/or hubby spends much of his paycheck on -- buying their DVDs en masse, then telling you he just doesn't have the dough for that quaint diamond bracelet that you just know would look damned cute on you. We've all been there. . .
Yet in 2005, the female porn viewer actually was cut her own share of breaks. Playgirl TV hit the airwaves, through cable, satellite systems and on the Internet. We saw new releases from Playgirl, Femme and Inpulse Productions, and a slew of gorgeous men in a number of well-produced, romantically plotted releases.
A number of women assumed the reins of adult productions, as directors, producers and writers. And although I would still love to see more strong female characters in adult films, I must say that Devinn Lane completely blew me away with her performance in Lovers Lane, playing police officer Sarah Blake. And Savanna Samson not only co-hosted the 2005 AVN Awards; she was a judge at Playgirl's Las Vegas Strip Search male stripper competition.
As a female reviewer at DVD Talk and the 'posse-meister' of the Playgirl Posse, I'm trying to do my own small part on behalf of women's adult entertainment. With this in mind, I'm introducing The Pink Room; a variation on The Blue Room column that will showcase top picks in adult films and toys geared toward women, plus profiles and pictures (yep, Ladies, PICTURES!!!) of top male stars. And for my first Pink Room, I've enlisted the help of my Posse gals to honor top achievers in femme porn (quite an achievement, that) with the first annual women's adult film awards -- or, as I like to call them, the Goldies.

1. Best of Playgirl TV:
Have you ever taken advantage of one of those free DVD offers - and actually received a quality product in return? What a concept!
People who write letters to their cable and satellite companies requesting PlaygirlTV are eligible to receive this disc, one of the most truly beautiful adult productions I've seen.
Viewers saw the elegantly produced love scenes - featuring Jean Val Jean, porn's talented, gorgeous answer to the matinee idol, in a Victorian dream sequence and other rich fantasy scenarios - as well as two centerfold scenes - one of which featured Niko, a stunning Romanian model and exotic dancer who is now appearing as a male lead in PlaygirlTV and Wicked productions.
This disc, shot entirely on film by leading female directors such as Kelly Holland (aka Toni English) and Skye Blue, is an industry groundbreaker that emphasizes the beauty of the male form and the artistry of lovemaking - the ultimate adult chick flick. (Full Review by Goldenmuse)

2. Candida Royalle's Rites of Passage:
By presenting Rites of Passion, Candida Royalle achieves another first: a "his-and-her porno." Sure, today's adult market boasts a plethora of couples movies (though your typical DVD store still will carry far more copies of "Teen-Age Teabagging Tarts" and "Kiki Does Kansas"). Yet Rites of Passion actually features two separate scenarios; one custom-made for females and the other seemingly geared toward males -- though in a way that still respects and empowers the female lead. However, a woman who had been sufficiently revved by "In Search of the Ultimate Sexual Experience" could get her mate in a similar state by showing him "Shady Madonna." And that's why I feel that, taken as a whole, Rites of Passion is the ultimate his-and-her adult film. (Full Review by Goldenmuse)

3. Lovers Lane:
Although not as dreamy and sweetly erotic as my first two choices, this Wicked film was a rare treasure; a landmark in adult filmmaking that featured strong dialogue and a compelling plot. Perhaps it's no surprise this film was written by a woman - none other than Stormy Daniels. And as police officer Sarah Blake, Devinn Lane delivers a strong, sensitive, truly unforgettable lead performance; one unparalleled in adult cinema. (Full Review by Goldenmuse)

4. VIP 54:
Right behind the dreamy and inspiring selections of 2005 comes one that's just plain fun - and for the female viewer, this Vivid release was a smorgasbord of attractive male talent at their gorgeous and sensual best. Jean Val Jean, Evan Stone, Julian, Voodoo and Nick Jacobs in all their glory, with a host of top female stars such as Mercedez, Nicole Sheridan, and Kelli Tyler all joining in as equals rather than subservient airheads. (Full Review by Goldenmuse)

5. Candida Royalle's Caribbean Heat:
The year 2005 brought another release from Femme Productions, this one directed by newcomer Manuela Sabrosa under the tutelage of producer Candida Royalle. Aside from the lush scenery, the film offers five erotic sequences; each of which features romance, playful erotic situations and explicit sex (well, it is still a porno!). The men are handsome, the women are beautiful but realistic (not an ounce of plastic or silicone to be found!), and the fantasies are titillating. This was another good show from Candida and crew.

6. Internal Affairs:
Women have long appreciated a good comedy but in porn, the comedy always seems to be at the expense of the ladies so forgive us if we tend to pass when you bring a porno home that's been billed as comedic by some 400 pound male marketing guru at your favorite gonzo company. Internal Affairs is not about creampies though as director Jonathan Morgan shows the sequel to the well received Valley 911 spoof of the cable TV show Reno 911. Both movies were good for women since the guys were attractive and the women were all in positions of authority. Julia Ann was the lead along with Stormy Daniels with the IAD investigator played by Alana Evans as they made sure the ladies came first. (Full Review by Don Houston)

7. Celeste:
Celeste, the female contract director at Digital Playground, is best known for her days as a performer under a different name but a cursory look at her body of work shows that she enjoys making movies primarily for women, not for men. This doesn't mean that men have to hate her movies but she shows the female point of view with her slow motion, lighting effects, and use of men a lady would WANT to sleep with instead of anyone that walked past her door. As 2005 was her breakthrough year, we decided that it was high time a like-minded woman was presented as director of the year instead of a guy who focuses on circus act sex like you'll find on the main list. Some of her work includes Story of J, Devon: Erotique, Teagan: Erotique, Devon Decadence, All American Girl, Posh Kitten,Mrs. Behavin', and Intoxicated. (Full Reviews by staff writers)

8. The New Devil in Miss Jones:
The New Devil in Miss Jones was notable for the large budget, capable direction, and great extras but also for the way that Savanna Samson showed her ability to act like a real woman and not just a glamorous porn chick. If I've said it once, I've said it at least twice that if a company wants to produce a feature with plot and dialogue, they need to get people that can act to fill the roles, not just whoever they could hire that day. The New Devil in Miss Jones provided plenty to turn on the posse as the cast stopped acting like they were in a porno and started acting like they wanted to get off. (Full Review by Don Houston)

9. The Villa:
Most male dominated porn is geared to showing young, disposable women barely of age thrown into scenes with perverted old letches that take advantage of them. That's why I liked watching The Villa, starring Evan Stone, Dale DaBone, and Julian as they were looking all ripped and fine in scenes featuring Janine. In each of her four acts, she was in charge and not about to let the men of the movie tell her how to live her life. The guys were nice eye candy too though so the Playgirl posse gave this one a thumbs up all the way around. (Full Review by Don Houston)

10. Secrets of the Velvet Ring:
Stormy Daniels was a role model once more as she led a group of friends through the process of making their fantasies come true in Brad Armstrong's Secrets of the Velvet Ring. This was another case where the women were in charge of the action and the men managed to service them in all sorts of ways in the nine included scenes. Stormy Daniels appeals to men and women so it's easy to see why Wicked Pictures markets to couples with hot action like this one. (Full Review by Don Houston)
