Videos DVDs: Award Winners

Stop the presses! Renowned director Paul Thomas delivers a hilarious and sexy spoof of an adult magazine’s newsroom in Layout, which earned eight 2008 AVN Awards in the process (including Best Film, Best Director, Best Couple’s Sex Scene, and Best Oral Sex Scene). Porno meets journalism, so you get equal doses of hot sex, humor and romance as the intertwining stories reveal the sexual hijinks in the newsroom, including a recluse who hides in his bedroom during porn shoots in his living room, and an assistant director who bribes an aspiring porn starlet into a little sex in exchange for news coverage. Lots of anal sex and some bondage. Penny Flame and Kylie Ireland won Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress for their enthusiastic performances.

Winner of 8 AVN Awards in 2008, Upload is one of those high-budget adult films that comes out once in a blue moon that knocks all the competition on its ass. Something of a cross between Alias and Total Recall, Upload is a stylized futuristic tale featuring the heavenly Eva Angelina (who won Best Actress) as a security agent who’s addicted to the hardcore sex she’s supposed to police. The set design and acting compliment a plot that is so tightly wound, the sex almost seems secondary, proving that explicit sex and a great plot can co-exist in a porn movie. The movie has fun with all the naughty ramifications of the digital world gone wild, including the introduction of a microchip into your brain that lets you drop into any adult action you encounter. Lots of anal sex, double penetration, standout scenes between Eva and Evan Stone, plus Hillary Scott in a 5-guy group scene make Upload a true winner.

This is the tale of seven porn stars picked to live in a house for 36 hours with no plot, no script, and no restrictions. Based on the first and most famous reality TV show, this candid, honest, and sexy look at seven porn stars is sure to be a classic. Former Babeland Babe Tristan Taormino considers this her best effort to date, and we not only agree with that statement, but believe Chemistry is one of the best DVDs we have seen ever, period. Taormino knows a thing or two about creating a hot flick and applies it here to create a sex-positive fuckfest that does indeed have CHEMISTRY. A diverse cast stars in this intimate look at porn stars' lives and stories, spliced between passionate and sexy scenes. Please refer to our return policy for this product.

"I think this is a dirty, dirty DVD, and I loved it! It's such nasty, late night, cheap motel sex - and that's my favorite kind." says one Babeland Staffer.

In addition to racking up AVN 2005 Awards for Best Director, Best Couple's Sex Video, and best All Sex Video, Stuntgirl won hands-down as Babeland's favorite new flick. Freshman director Jack the Zipper wowed viewers with this low budget, high energy flick, with dynamic sexual chemistry between Jessica Jaymes and Kimberly Kane. Enter Kurt Lockwood for a three-way that'll knock your socks off. Peter Warren reviewed Stuntgirl for Adult Video News, describing it "Like a fever dream dredged from the brainpans of David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, Darren Aronofsky and Gerard Damiano, Stuntgirl is, unequivocally, a work of pure art. Jack the Zipper is the new Wunderkind of Porn." We agree, and can't wait to see what Jack comes up with for his sophomore effort. 2004, 96 minutes.

Winner of AVN Award for Best Film, The Masseuse stars "It Girl" Jenna Jameson as the sexy-yet-sensitive masseuse in this hot remake of director Paul Thomas' classic film of the same name. The story revolves around Jenna's relationship with a socially awkward virgin male (Justin Sterling) who explores his sexuality under her expert tutelage. A great couple's flick with a compelling plot, Thomas also dares to pair bondage and hardcore, which is something you don't see very often. Still, the scenes of women bound and penetrated (with toys, penises and strap-ons), though well-executed and hot, may not be for everyone. 2004, 95 minutes.

Top-shelf porn with a gorgeous cast and equally-gorgeous fucking-there's something for everyone in this aptly named film, which won Best Group Sex Scene, Best All Girl Sex, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography at the 2007 AVN Awards. Though the faux-historical plot is silly, hit the mute and be dazzled by the high budget sex: a Xena-themed barbarian gets down with his warrior woman; the Indian goddess Kali takes on four men; a Versailles dinner party with four "tarts"' as the main courses--and more.

Shy-guy Brad Armstrong dreams of getting a girl as hot as Jessica Drake, who he sees, and fantasizes about, every week at the local laundromat. When he finally approaches her, he finds she’s as wild—in fact, wilder—than his dreams. From phone sex to a lesbian tryst to a fantastic Randy Spears cameo, the acting, script and performances rightfully earned this light comedy 5 stars from AVN and a best actress nod for Jessica Drake. Great for couples, and as entertaining (and much hotter) than anything Hollywood could dish up. Directed by Brad Armstrong. Stars Jessica Drake, Lezley Zen, Aria, Dolorian, Cherokee, Brad Armstrong, Randy Spears, Evan Stone. 2005, 138 minutes. Please refer to our return policy for this product.
