REVIEW: Recent output Pineapple Studios...Excellent

[greenfunk727]

Evil Pineapples has done well!

Obvious homage to SOS and that's no bad thing.

I bought the Nikki Hill/Mina/Lina scene mainly because of the kuckmal photos put on the forum before the scene (Nikki Hill spreading her gape). I think that he needs time to really find his groove,which is going to be difficult if you're competing against Gonzo & GIO (Especially if he's using the same models). NRX is doing well with Lara Frost, Loren Strawberry and more recently Berlin/Barcelona etc. The main strength for NRX is model scouting.

I Like Pineapples and I appreicate his input on the forum. I wish him the best and look forward to some good scenes in the future.

IMHO you can't go wrong with well shot gapes - although personally I'm not a huge fan of booty shorts or foot fetish I did really like the thong Bikinis. But regardless of shorts/feet/bikinis big fucking gapes for the win

Good Luck
Ananas

Thanks for the positive review, Otto. I hope I will have some time later in the week to go through it and discuss some of your points, but for now, I’ll just say that I’m glad you’re pleased with the product. I am still getting it where I want it to be, so hopefully you will see even more improvement in the future.

I will say that the homage in my scenes is being paid to guys like Jean Yves Lecastel and Christoph Clark. I learned a lot from SOS, so that has become part of my style, but I am not actually chasing his way of shooting porn as much as I am looking further back into the past of the industry for my inspiration.

No offence to anyone, no one can make movies better than them.

Didn’t you post in a different thread recently that you aren’t into anal? You know, you’re on a site called AnalVids.

[sexaddict251]

I am not obsessed with anak, but can tolerate, i like Gonzo monster cock deep penitration, and I like GIO Piss drinking, no studios can be better than them.

[Pineapples Studio]

That’s the spirit. If no studio can be better than them, then why should anyone even try? What is the point of entering this thread if that’s all you’re going to contribute? Only constructive criticism is useful.

I don’t want to compete directly. Rather, I want to do something different, something that the other producers are not doing, to offer an alternative with a different focus and a unique vibe. I’m not where I want to be with that yet, but I’m working on it. Direct competition is foolhardy, IMO.

[sexaddict251]

I know a good director when I see one, Joachim was a competition to GIO & Gonzo, he was using the same scenarios in every videos, that was his problem.

You’re entitled to your point of view and I’m not going to comment on any of those studios directly. They all do their own thing and they do it on their own terms… just as I am doing.

I am going to review these 4 together. They were released fairly close together, there is some overlap of models, and there are production characteristics that apply to all four.

If you are a fan of hardcore porn, but do not like the[opinion] stupid nonsexual emphasis on choking, slapping, spitting, puking, prolapse, arm dislocation, misogyny, robotic grim males, or girls not having fun in sex, then you are in luck.
Pineapple Studios continues to release videos that will cater to those who like the hardcore styles of LeCastel and Sineplex and Kuckmal. Indeed, these four videos pay homage to those studios and themes without the perceived distractions listed above.

Video Quality 10
Audio Quality 10
Camerawork 10
Action/Direction 9
Attractiveness Of the Actors. 9
Total 48

VQ 10. It does not get better than this. It is not perfect, but close. There are rare instances of focus slow to nail, but that is quibbling. The exposures are correct, white balance is good. Simply excellent technical video quality.

AQ 10. Again, it doesn't get better. Granted these is not much dialog, but there are some vocalizations and it is expertly evenly balanced. You don't have to constantly hunt for the volume button to bring it up or down. Pineapple has done that for you with professional sound quality.

Camerawork 10. Pineapple Studios has the best camerawork in all of AV. There is no one better and MANY are lots worse. The compositions/framing is the best around. Example: most often in way overrated GG and gonzo stuff, if there are 2 girls (and that itselt is unfortunately rare) there are 2 videos going on, one for one girl and one for the other.
Occasionally they are pictured together, but too often they are just lazy and boring in their posing, and the stupid camera doesn't help, focusing on one girl and then the other even as the girl OFF CAMERA is squealing, making you wonder WTF is going on off camera. It just juvenile, amateurish and sloppy work. Porn captured poorly is the norm.
That is NOT the case with Pineapple. The girls are framed together, sometimes one in the foreground, one in the background, but viewed as if you were there and looking for yourself, taking it all in. It seems simple, but it is obviously difficult for all studios here other than Pineapple. Pineapple gets it! Or maybe Pineapples just CARES more. And the girls interact much more with each other.

In addition, we are not presented with 38 poisiton changes in 48 minutes, all elbows, ankles and knees. Pineapple LINGERS on scenes that work and that is a very good thing. And when they do linger, you get excellent framing so you can see the girl's face as something is done to her, something that is usually pretty hardcore graphic. I don't think I've ever rated camerawork a 10, and those who are familiar with my complaints and constructive criticism may recall that I have been particularly hard on the terrible camera work of this website. Not here. no complaints. strong work here! The other studios could and should learn from Pineapple.

Action/Direction As I said in the opening the action and direction of these vids harken back to the days or The Matador, LeCastel, Christoph Clark, Sineplex, etc. Put another way, if you liked that stuff, you'll like this A LOT. It is more streamlined, more graphic and shot better with modern equipment. The emphasis is on anal in a big way. Lots of gapes held long enough are commonplace.
I took off a point here, I gave a 9, but I could justify an 8 or a 10. My criticism is that there is not girl on girl anal worship, except in the Rim My Gape video. Many times girl 2 is simply staring at girl 1 being anal penetrated or gaping missing the golden opportunity of orally pleasuring the gaping ass inches from her face. It happens enough to be really frustrating. Also, in the Rim My Gape video Cindy Shine seems a little reluctant to feast on Katy Rose's open asshole, flicking her tongue, very carefully, rather than going all in and eating her out.
In the other videos, girl 2 just stares dumbly and the scene right before her eye. There is a lot of ATM, but the MTA would have been a marked improvement, I think. Oddly, there is some pretty graphic anal creampie eating at the end, so why not have that anal eating pervasive throughout the video?
Again, this is the only fault I find with these videos, and it is a pet peeve of mine, ie hardcore girl girl action seems to stop when a dick arrives. I say let the girls join in the debauching of each other with their mouths, tongues, fingers
Another missed opportunity is when girl 1 is in reverse cowgirl anal, and girl 2 is licking balls. Have girl 2 move higher and work orally on both boy and girl, from asshole to clit, and do it forcefully, sucking hard. The fucking may have to slow down or even stop momentarily, the camera move to the side, but girl 2's mouth and tongue sloppily pleasuring balls, shaft, cunt and clit is an opportunity that should not be missed. Nobody does this, maybe Pineapples will??

Another comment: I have no problem with off camera direction, hearing it from the director. It adds to the nastiness I think, and allows the camera to get an even better shot. If an arm is obstructing a face, tell them to move it.

Attractiveness of the Actors 9. These are some very attractive girls. One contributor in remarking on the Kuckmal video said he thought Nikki Hill was underused and more attractive than the other 2 girls. She was used a bit less, but just a bit, in the beginning of the vid, but she surely gets a workout. The other girls are very attractive though and I do not see the balance of action:girls detrimental at all. They are all pounded and exhibit very fine gapes (that go uneaten!!! )

I have been very pleased with everything I've seen from Mr Ananas and his Pineapples Studio. These 4 are excellent for the porn purists who are old enough to remember the good old days of Sineplex, LeCastel, Clark.
If you're looking for trannies and piss and choking and spit these are not for you, possibly, unless you want to see what straightahead hardcore por looks like without props, misogyny, and boredom.
And the camera work is exemplary.

Excellent work, Pineapples Studio, I look forward to what comes next. IMO, PS is the class of AV right now, nobody else is in the same league right now.

I’ve now watched those four videos and would say I’m not nearly as convinced by their level. I will say at the outset that one big problem is that white slim guy about that male-twin. He’s downright bad most of the time. He doesn’t really do anything properly and the worst he is in oral sex. He never properly fuck in the mouth. He holds his cock in front of the girl’s mouth or twists it in her mouth strangely but doesn’t fuck. In the anal, too, he is not convincing. He’s also anything but handsome and besides looking somehow messy. I wonder his choice as another male actor?

By far the worst of the videos themselves was Buttsluts. When I watched it I asked myself why was it done at all? It was mostly just boring. For example, why wasn’t there a decent cum swapping in the end? That ending was completely boring. My second point is about girls ass licking. Mina is really good at it and do it as it should but the camera shoots it way too far away. The camera should definitely capture Mina's tongue and girlfriends asshole in a close-up and focus only on them and with the right angle of the camera. The right camera angle is at the heart of it all. If it is wrong, nothing will save the action. By far the best lesbian ass licking videos I have seen are from Inthecrack.com. Amazing close-ups! That's the way to shoot ass licking!

From other videos I would say that I found the ass gaping scenes disappointing. They all actually somehow stayed halfway. Really decent asshole open scenes were missing. There was an impression that the girls did not really know what they should do. So what a decent ass gaping means? For example, when girls used dildos to each other, those scenes didn’t seem to work properly for me. They had been made somehow only in half-way.

Scenes with anal and another girl involved in the action also didn’t work. The girl either doesn’t have a clear role in it or the guy simply doesn’t know her job. In an anal threesome with two girls and one guy, each of them has to have a clear role in what they do at any given time. The number two girl needs to be positioned so that the guy can naturally penetrate in number one girl's ass and alternately fuck number two girl's mouth or if she sucks him. That same number two girl can also occasionally lick number one girl's ass. That is, in this combination, the guy penetrates both the other girl's ass and the other's mouth and in addition, the other girl licks her girlfriend's asshole. And here, too, the success of the whole thing is determined by whether the camera angle is right and that all three know what they are supposed to do. All of this needs to be practiced in advance and discussed and planned through with all the actors.

I agree that the picture quality was excellent and the sounds too. By far the best of the girls were Mina and Lina Arian. They are both a pleasure to watch. The nature of both is admirable. Both are also really sexy! Next time, the selection of girls should be more careful. For example,so that ass licking is natural for select girls. It’s annoying and frustrating to watch an ass licking scene where a girl’s tongue spins everywhere but in the asshole. No such girl should be chosen at all! Same with male actors! If a guy can't even properly fuck a girl in the mouth what is he doing in a porn movie at all !? Replace that white "skin and bones guy" with one who knows how to do his job the way it should and also looks more handsome and cleaner!

Excellent thread. I have been quite interested in these scenes as I totally fit the bill re:this comment of the OP:

If you are a fan of hardcore porn, but do not like the[opinion] stupid nonsexual emphasis on choking, slapping, spitting, puking, prolapse, arm dislocation, misogyny, robotic grim males, or girls not having fun in sex, then you are in luck.

Yep that's me and as such, very slim pickings on AV/LP these days.

I did like the look of the Francys Belle/Freya Dee trailer so might get that one.

My biggest issue is the frequent use of Luca Ferrero - someone I just cannot endorse as he's a total thug. Are we saying that he doesn't use any male dom moves in these scenes? It's possible as I just mentioned in my "zero manhandle" thread that he doesn't in the recent Sexy Susi Gonzo scene but that was a group scene. I notice that in these he's generally part of a pair or even solo so I basically just click "close" on the trailer.

I would certainly be loathe to support anything featuring Ferrero but I'm interested in hearing about his performance in these scenes. I would say that he's kinda tainted with me so it would be hard for me to get on board with the idea of supporting him moving forward but you never know. My best suggestion to Mr Pineapple though would be that if he isn't making male dom scenes (which it sounds like he isn't - kudos for the Christoph Clark influence) then don't use Ferrero or any of the other thugs-for-hire, get the untainted guys like John Price, Rycky Optimal, Bo Sinn or Thomas Lee for example. Or better still, find new ones and school them well.

NB I have a zero tolerance to male dom so the odd throat-grab, face-slap etc. doesn't cut it for me. Zero or no dice. Cheers.

[TheVulture]

I've just looked at the recent trailers and these do seem to pass my zero manhandle tolerance test with the exception of the full nelson move (which I hate).

I think the issue for me though is Ferrero in 1 or 2 guy scenes just as a rule of principle. He just brings too much baggage with him for me. I can't get past my general antipathy towards him based on his past record and what I would deem to be his "default" favoured style. For a long time now I've only been able to support in him in large gangbang scenes and I don't see that changing. It's too late for him to redefine himself really.

I don't really see a ton of lust or chemistry coming from the screen. The scenes look "OK" in that regard and certainly no worse than most AV/LP fare but I'm very picky these days. Scenes generally have to have a "wow" factor from the trailer to hook me in and these don't really have that in the same way that very few other current AV/LP scenes do.

I will probably get that Francys/Freya one with my next batch of tickets though as no Ferrero and 2 great girls and I'm intrigued to see how I find it.

I think for me to be won over more generally I'd probably need regular studs like Bo Sinn or John Price or some other stud(s) who are young and generally have a sense of obvious animal lust and chemistry with the girls as well as being good performers.

I'll certainly keep an eye on this stable anyway. Very glad it seems to have moved away from the perfunctory angry guy routine that is the AV/LP norm, which shows bravery and certainly gives it something to build on.
