Nicky Starks displays the same strengths and weaknesses with Darkside that he did at Elegant Angel: nice graphics and audio, cool striptease interludes, stale camera work, uninvolved sexual direction.

This is Darkside's answer to the Just Don't Bite It series - a seemingly cornucopian quantity of all-black blowjob artists crammed onto a two hour and ten minute tape. Two or three of the performers are just that - long-standing porn princesses like Midori and Monique. The majority, however, seem to be stringy-looking downtown 'hos that Starks has saved from HIV's door. Despite experience or class, few have much to offer in this video. Charlie Angel is one of the few who express any enjoyment about the assignment. She smiles and acts aroused by the log jammed in her face. Taboo even tries to suck the thing without using her hands. Monique, on the other hand, lacks her usual inspirational technique.

The men attached to the timber are just as lackadaisical and it is highly suspected that a few cumshots were faked. Many of the real shots are disappointingly miniscule droplets, probably eeked out by painfully overworked balls.

One bright spot appears at the end: Two ugly little pups share a bone, finding ecstasy more in slurping up each other's saliva than in the fat stick itself. After a hot meeting of tongues, one mutt mounts the thing in what appears to be a spontaneous and sincerely desired act of horniness on her part. Starks goes with it for a minute, but isn't able to sustain the momentum, and the vid ends without any completion to this act.
