The Movie:
The fiftieth (!!) entry in the Bootylicious series, Thick As A Brick proudly touts 'It's Black! It's Anal! What you see is what you get!' on the back of its packaging and for once it's nice to see truth in advertising. The package doesn't lie - this release really is two hours of black guys fucking reasonably attractive black girls up the ass, with some periodic vaginal and oral intercourse thrown in just to spice things up a bit.
If 'all black and all anal' sounds like your bag, then by all means, read on, because the guys at JM Productions can give you exactly what you want in the form of the four scenes that make up the two hours of content provided on this Blu-ray release.
So here's a look at who fucks who and how they do it:
Scene One: Camrie Foxxx And Weed This scene starts off with some make out time before Camrie gives Weed head. He plays with her pussy and he fucks her snatch a bit before shifting gear and slipping it up her ass. She rides him reverse cowgirl style a bit and breaks to give him head before going back at it for more backdoor pummeling. After a fair bit of that he pulls out and she sucks him to a finish and takes a load on her face.
Scene Two: Alayah Sashu And Byron Long This scene follows a pretty similar pattern to the first one with a bit of foreplay leading into some oral and a good long blowjob scene. Alyaha's got a great ass and the camera makes sure we get to see it from a few different angels as Byron fucks her doggy style and then she rides him cowgirl and reverse cowgirl style. She takes it up the ass for quite a while and rides him like a champ, sucking him off to end the scene
Scene Three: Vida Valentine And Julius Ceazher Vida's black stockings do a nice job of framing her ass and showing off her long legs. She and Julius don't waste any time. She sucks his cock to get him warmed up and then before you know it he's balls deep in booty, pounding away like a jackrabbit. She rides him cowgirl and then reverse cowgirl, showing off her spread lips as he fucks her backdoor and finishing the scene off with a facial.
Scene Four: Kandi Kream, Byron Long And Justin Long Kandi is sucking cock like it's going out of style when this scene starts. Justin fucks her ass doggy style from behind while Byron gets his cock sucked some more and then they trade places a few times. She gets her pussy fucked and then her ass fucked and then the boys fill both holes before pulling out. She drops to her knees and strokes them both off into her open mouth.
So how does it all shape up? Well, obviously how much you get out of it will depend on how much you enjoy watching black dudes fuck black chicks up the ass, because that does make up the bulk of the content here. While on one level it doesn't provide a whole lot of variety (only the fourth scene adds a third partner and there's no girl on girl, solo, or toy action here), this release is geared towards a specific kink and on that level it works just fine. The production values could have been a little nicer and there are spots where the lighting isn't so hot but overall this is reasonably steamy stuff and the sex is well shot and at times fairly passionate and quite intense. There's certainly enough hot sex here to get you off should you fall into the disc's target demographic and while it doesn't really break the mold, as the packaging says, what you see is what you get.
The DVD
Video:
Bootylicious - Thick As A Brick looks decent enough in this 1.78.1 anamorphic widescreen 1080i VC-1 encoded transfer. There are some minor compression artifacts noticeable in the some of the darker scenes and a couple of spots suffer from poor lighting but these complaints are the exception and not the rule. Skin tones look good and detail levels are pretty solid as well. This isn't a reference quality transfer, but it's certainly not a bad one.
Sound:
The only audio option on this disc is a Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo track, 48 kHz/192 kbps. While there's nothing particularly wrong with this track - the levels are all properly balanced and everything sounds clean and clear - there's nothing particularly remarkable about it either. An HD track or even a standard definition 5.1 mix would have helped things a fair bit, but all we get is a lackluster stereo mix.
Extras:
The only real extra on this release is a Behind The Scenes (6:25) featurette that is presented in standard definition non-anamorphic widescreen and which is compressed all to hell and rather murky looking. This isn't really behind the scenes material, either, it's more like a collection of unused hardcore footage that looks to have been shot for the feature and excised for whatever reason. Regardless, it's six and a half minutes of XXX action, and something is better than nothing.
Motion menus, talent biographies, a trailer gallery, a still gallery, web-links, ordering info, and scene selection round out the supplements on this release. All of the extras are presented in standard definition.
Final Thoughts:
If black anal is what you're after, Bootylicious - Thick As A Brick gives you what you want. While there are only four scenes here, at least they're four good scenes and the girls are all looking good and having fun which always makes things more enjoyable. The transfer is decent enough even if the audio is a little bland and the extras are mediocre. Definitely recommended for fans of black anal releases, a solid rental for everyone else.
