We suppose it all depends on how much art you like injected into your porn, but if you're not enthralled by the intro to Kimberly Kane's newest pornographic effort, Triple Ecstasy, you've either got no frontal lobe or no functional private parts, or both. Kane's bombastic opening is a smut flamethrower, brimming with wild nudity and rock 'n' roll.

In the opener, Kane, who is nothing if not intense, and Pixie Pearl kiss each other on an apartment balcony like it's their last day on Earth. Their scene - the movie's first - is a marathon. Both ladies wield strap-ons at different points, as the power balance shifts between the two.

Charlotte Stokely - who was at one time one of porn's ubiquitous talents, but has recently all but disappeared - comes back to the smut screen with a vengeance in her scene with Mr. Marcus. Like the other trysts, Stokely and Marcus' scene is not straight forward stuff, but she of the tattered Converse and tutu dress writhes and sucks with the best of them.

Princess Donna does something very un-princess-like when she introduces Lystra to a stiff strap-on; the movie's weapon of choice.

In the end, Kane meets her match in the irascible Audrey Hollander. The two ladies engage in something between a sensual screw and a bar fight. Smut traditionalists will be happy to learn that the two are then descended upon by Otto Bauer and Alec Knight who launch into some more chauvinistic, er modern, porn tactics.

Kane's interludes are sexy and stylized and quite creative. Triple Ecstasy certainly isn't your older brother's muscular gonzo flicks, and if there's any comparison at all, it's that the ladies are wielding the sexual power this time.
