First Review for ASHLEY AND KISHA
The first review of ASHLEY AND KISHA is in, from AdultDVDTalk’s ever prolific Astroknight, and it is very positive! Says Astro:
Comstock films takes a different route at adult entertainment. Rather than focusing on just the sex, like traditional adult films, it focuses on the relationship so you can appreciate all there is behind the sex. This time the focus is on Ashley and Kisha, two black lesbians (with Kisha being the slightly darker of the two). Ashley and Kisha talk about how they met including Kisha turning Ashley down, as well as their first ‘date’ and the morning after. Although Ashley had been with many women before, Kisha was new to women and they talk about how their relationship developed as well as the sex. As the girls talk about their relationship, you get glimpses of sex between them.
Afterwards, you get to see a full session of their lovemaking.
Ashley and Kisha start out their lovemaking fully dressed and kissing on the bed. They stroke each other’s faces with Ashley tenderly making her way around Kisha’s body with plenty of soft kisses. She slowly strips Kisha down as she kisses her, and gives her tits some nice attention before losing her own shirt. She moves down to lick Kisha’s pussy before laying back and letting Kisha kiss her way around her tits and pussy with plenty more kissing and some fingering mixed in. They take turns eating each other’s pussy with Ashley working in a little spanking as well as some kisses for Kisha’s neck. Finally, they finish things with a passionate kiss after a few more words about their relationship and the movie.
This is a beautiful scene. The lighting is dark, but even low lighting can’t mask the love Ashley and Kisha share. It also adds to the eroticism of the scene, and if I really wanted to get all artsy fartsy I might say that there’s no way even with high lighting we’d be able to truly see how much Ashley and Kisha love each other. The action moves along at a very nice pace with a good mix of camera angles, and the girls nicely work back and forth pleasing each other. It never gets nasty or overly hard, but also never let the smile leave my face as I watched it. This is a scene about passion and emotion, and it’s impossible to miss it watching this scene.
Ashley & Kisha: Finding the Right Fit is my fourth Comstock experience, and even after three other wonderful experiences I still can’t help but be amazed at how satisfying a movie that doesn’t even last an hour can be. Once again the Comstocks deliver the full package, physical, mental, and emotional. Ashley and Kisha are both good looking, but not so much that they lose the natural feeling like somebody you might run into going down the street.
Their talking about how they got together is beautiful, and you can feel the love between them so much that it’s hard not to get turned on just with the anticipation of seeing them make love later in the movie. At the same time it’s hard not to be a little afraid that the sex won’t live up to the talking heads. You have plenty of glimpses of it as they talk, but much of it is a little dark. Of course there’s nothing to fear as the sex is just as satisfying. It feels completely real and natural for the ladies, and has a very nice flow with a touch of an artistic eye that helps it to be just as satisfying.
If you’re sick of watching adult films wondering if the people you’re watching are really into each other or not and like all girl action, Ashley and Kisha: Finding the Right Fit just might be the best movie you’ll watch for a very, very long time.
I’m always interest in what Astro has to say about our films because Astro is a dedicated porn enthusiast of the first order with over 2000 reviews to his credit, covering a wide variety of genres. Some of the things that I find off-putting about pornography, Astro accepts; and there’s this idea that someone like Astro won’t find anything to like in a film like ASHLEY AND KISHA or our other films. That’s simply not the case. As Sir Lawrence Olivier put it: Some people like mussels, some people like snails. Some people like mussels and snails.
I was also interested in Astro’s reaction to ASHLEY AND KISHA because like me, Astro is not young, black or lesbian. Just recently we’ve had a retailer, one who’s had success with our other films, tell us, “No thanks. We’ll pass on ASHLEY AND KISHA. There just not much of a market for that sort of thing.”
Of course by “that sort of thing,” he means black lesbians, and I know from a marketing niche point of view he’s wrong. There’s a dearth of quality erotic films featuring lesbian women of color, and ASHLEY AND KISHA already selling briskly. But it’s the narrowness of this retailer’s point of view that wrinkles my nose.
Throughout my (so-called) career, I’ve been interested in making films that cross (perceived) boundaries, and in reading Astro’s review, I’m delighted that Astro was so seduced by Ashley and Kisha’s testimony (”It’s hard not to be a little afraid that the sex won’t live up to the talking heads,”) and then be so utterly charmed by their lovemaking (”It never gets nasty or overly hard, but also never let the smile leave my face as I watched it.”)
I don’t know that I’ve ever heard of someone worrying that the sex might not live up to non-sex parts of an erotic film, and that makes me feel like there’s a real connection to be found in this movie, a connection that is there for anyone willing to open their heart to it. I know I felt that connection on the day I interviewed Ashley and Kisha, and that feeling only grew as I working on the film. It’s nice to think I won’t be the only person who feels this way.
