Physical Therapy

The conspiracy theorist lurking inside me believes Barrett Blade is hired by producer Bree Mills to crank out dozens of massage videos merely to make her favored partner-in-porn Stills by Alan look good by comparison. "Physical Therapy" is a mediocre (that's being charitable) assembly-line Nuru oiler that is worse than usual form the Bar/Bree team.

Its only virtue is brevity, providing four instead of five vignettes and running just under 100 minutes compared to a typical Gamma Entertainment release timing of 2-1/2 hours or more.

Bree passes off much of her output as role-playing, a misuse of the term designed to cover her obsession with fake-incest. In this case, it's not incest that is being offered up for the website subscriber to ponder, but rather dress-up fetish.

That is most evident in a scene starring exotic Kalina Ryu, who plays the inevitable masseuse/prostitute who acquiesces immediately to client Talon's request that she dress up as a nurse while servicing him. Kalina just so happens to have a fancy red & white latex fetish-nurse costume that does the trick.

This is my favored segment merely because it is shot at the #1 porn site of this decade, the "Immoral Proposal" mansion, giving us a different look at the ground floor beyond the iconic oval-paned doors and spiral staircase identifiers. Talon, a decade-plus later than his prominent days as a leading porn stud, looks like he's had lots of work done on his face, something I would expect from a porn leading lady, not a guy being hired merely to put his cock to good use.

Jessica Ryan gives the best acting performance, though hampered by director Blade's lazy insistence on improvised dialog (and pointless set-up scenarios). She's a doctor caring for injured patient Sean Michaels, but turns into a dirty-minded masseuse when humping the reticent big-dicked Black superstar of yore. Speaking of superstars, recent mega-popular Keisha Grey walks through the opening vignette, laying hands upon her client Kurt Lockwood. Worst performance is by Tony Martinez, clearly not ready for prime time in a gonzo-level dead weight perf as cute newcomer Jojo Kiss's client.

Camera-work is attributed to Eric Masterson, finding a career beyond the humping assignments that made him a go-to actor at the turn of this century.
