Many people who shoot porn think the five-positions-and-a-pop formula equals passable porn.

But not Joey.

Joey, who's not afraid to videotape what he likes. Joey, who shoots the women he wants. Joey, who admits that at the end of the day that he's really shooting for himself.

His dedication to what he wants is what makes him one of the best in gonzo. Damn the critics and full speed ahead!

If you don't believe this humble professional porn reviewer, who goes through at least 25 tapes a month, check out the scenes on display here that sail from feminine rough-and-tumble wrestling with Brit imports Flick Shagwell and Kinky to Calli Cox's carnal coupling that burns like the cigarette she smokes, Service Animals indulges in debauched details.

Of course Joey Silvera captures the obvious, the expected, the pussy penetrations, the anal assaults. He does them excellently, but he also allows each scene to develop at its own pace, and peak to its own unique intensity. A subtitle on the bottom of Shagwell and Kinky's wrestling scene that opens the video tells us that the loser will have to submit to an anal probe, courtesy of Nacho Vidal's engorged member, raising the ante for the viewer with anticipation of the surprise to come. The hot-blooded Vidal melts the cool English reserve the girls might have had (if there were any at all), and he gets into it so much that he cries "Mama mia!" when he penetrates pussy. When Vidal claims Kinky's ass for losing the match, she cries and screams and shouts.

Then there's Cox and Samantha Stylle's scene, which opens with Stylle cleaning her asshole over a faucet, anticipating her anal with Lexington Steele. Steele freaks out when Cox wants to light her cig, and tells her to do it outside. "What are you, stupid?" he asks. The gals go outside, and while Cox lights up, the two femmes feast on each other. Silvera captures the sensuality of Cox smoking so well that people who gave it up might think about starting again. Steele watches the two go at it behind the haze of smoke, reconsiders how "stupid" smoking is, and joins in, despite his prior reservations. Cox and Stylle alternate riding Steele's fuckstick, with Stylle blissfully babbling and Cox squirting on Steele. Silvera does an impromptu interview with Cox about her thighs, which she admits are developed from running and says hi to her old coach, all while she's fucking cowgirl.

Strokers who like their women to whimper during sex will dig Mark Davis (now sporting hair again) and Jolean in their carnal coupling. Though here Davis is reserved and doesn't lay down the choking and rougher stuff he's known for, he does indulge in some toe sucking.

Eva Morales and Linda start out their scene with a little lesbian touchy-feely, and T.T. Boy arrives to add some meat to the mix. He spanks the girls, and eats them while they tongue each other for a nice feast to start out the scene. Morales says in her heavily-accented English that she gustas Boy mucho and watching her swallow his flesh sword, you can tell. No translation required. Linda, who starts out a little quiet, gets louder as the scene progresses until she squirts... four times. Like Davis, Boy is reserved in his performance (though he does choke Morales, a little) but he still fucks each of the women to moaning-and-groaning orgasms and anal with lots of A2M along the way.

The video's final scene ends with an appearance by Silvera himself. His scene with Cassie in an apartment building's laundry room. Cassie reveals something not often seen among the professionals in Porn Valley: natural tits with puffy nipples, which harden gradually as the scene progresses. Silvera delights in touching them and feeling them and then runs his hands over the rest of her body. She's into the rough stuff, and slaps Silvera's balls a little, slaps, spits, and chokes him a few times, and turns into an amateur Dom. It doesn't faze him, and in a few moments he has her calling him daddy, and screaming in pleasure.

He can call it what he likes, Please! or Service Animals or Butt Row, but Silvera's brand of gonzo has earned him numerous AVN Awards. It's ironic that a director who says he shoots for himself has turned into a pornographer for the people, and this latest effort is another proud chapter of his brand of proletarian porn.
