We figure any title that boasts wall-to-wall pre-nom-worthy scenes deserves to be an Editor's Choice. So OK, only four of Ass Worship 5's five scenes are pre-nominatable. Big fucking deal. We're making it an Editor's Choice anyway.

Hey, it's not for nothing that director Jules Jordan had the biggest night of any individual at the 21st AVN Awards back in January, taking home no less than six statuettes, including one for this line (Best Anal-Themed Series) and one for this title's immediate predecessor, Ass Worship 4 (Best Anal-Themed Feature).

And with AW5, Jordan doesn't break his stride and looks most definitely to be in the running for those same two awards some 10 months from now. Pre-nom Ass Worship 5 for Best Anal-Themed Feature and the line, if Jordan streets AW6 before Sept. 30, for Best Anal-Themed Series.

AW5 is chock full of blisteringly hot A-list babes - most of them showing off their delectable fish netted derrieres in glorious close-up (this reviewer wanted to lick his TV screen at times) - and damn near consistent wank-worthy action, all wrapped in typical Jordan/Evil Angel crisp, handsome, production values, which serve to give the title the overall feel of a full package accomplishment.

The opener has Lauren Phoenix and April Flowers, looking like a pair of fishnet, whore-heeled twins, engaging Toni Ribas in a loud, sweaty, entangled suck/fuck/anal/d.p.(care of some toys)/facial. Pre-nom it for Best Threeway and Phoenix, as we've stated before, for Female Performer of the Year. If she continues this same take-no-prisoners pace the rest of the year, she's a virtual lock. …

Scene two features AVN Hall of Famer Tiffany Mynx, who's never looked better - Jordan seems to have resurrected her career - in a hot anal pairing with her director worthy of a Best Sex Scene Coupling - Video pre-nom. That's followed by long, luscious Kaylynn, one of the most criminally under-utilized beauties in porn, getting the air-tight treatment from Brett Rockman, Mark Wood and Trent Tesaro, then subjected to one of those massive triple facials Jordan regularly cums up with. Pre-nom it for Best Group Sex Scene - Video.

Scene four features the real discovery of this title, at least for this reviewer, gorgeous, big-lunged Mika Tan, adorned in (at least in the beginning) practically spray-painted-on PVC hot pants and monster spikes, taking big Brett up her keyster (you'd scream too) before he blows on her butt. She then clamps her pussy back down onto Mr. Super Stud's still-stiff tool, which fucks her some more, shooting a second load onto her fine, fine face. This one, too, deserves a Best Sex Scene Coupling - Video pre-nom.

The closer features the appropriately named Olivia O'Lovely in a threeway with Brian Pumper and Mark Wood, which, largely 'cause she's not the most hot-wired performer in Porn Valley, is a bit more tepid then what preceded it.

One technical note: on the disc (at least on our review copy), the sound levels seem to fluctuate from scene to scene, making Kaylynn's triple stuffing hard to hear unless one cranks the volume way up. A minor bitch though.
