Great Sexpectations (VCA) review summaries:
fu_q's
A top-notch porn director (Eric Edwards) isn't looking for love--particularly with his snooty, female lead (Kelly Nichols)--when he's approached by a new producer to film his latest fuck-flick...but that's exactly what he finds in "Great Sexpectations". A very good, 1984 release from VCA and director Henri Pachard, this feature really has it all...from hot sex with often-exceptional setups to a plot and acting that are more than strong enough to carry the viewer's attention throughout.

New Barbarians, The review summaries:
fu_q's
The mischievous, barbarian chieftan, Randy Spears, and his hell-raising horde will stop at nothing to rend a powerful, magical crystal from the hands of its rightful owners in "The New Barbarian", a very good, 1990 release from VCA and Henri Pachard. With its inexplicable ability to bring about time-travel, this sexually-fueled gem is certainly a prize worth seeking...and, for Victoria Paris and her peaceful people, a prize worth protecting. A blend of sex and (mild) violence ensues, as the two groups wrestle for control of the piece. Harking back to the days of the old barbarian films of the 1980s while concomitantly mixing in that same era's pornographic charm, this one is most certainly rife with nostalgic value. The sex is also steamy...again, in that 80s style...and seeing Victoria Paris sex it up in her prime is always a welcomed occurrence. For the right crowd--fans of 80s fantasy, porno nostalgia, Victoria Paris, and / or quirky features--this one is worthy. [read the full review]

Kelly's

She's obsessed. In her private life, Liz stalks the bars for men to help her re-enact Rose's wildest scenes-and finds plenty of willing participants. But that's not enough to satisfy Liz's desire, which can only be fully quenched by taking on Hothouse Rose herself in a climax that will leave you in complete suspense...until Part Two. THE MOVIE: From what little information I had going into this one, I was expecting All About Eve (1950). Instead, I got something closer to Desperately Seeking Susan (1985). [read the full review]

She's So Fine (VCA) review summaries:
barrettman's
Overview Henri Pachard has mad some classic stuff, Budding of Brie, Jailhouse Girls, etc, etc. So does this slice of Golden Age pie taste sweet, or sour ? What I Liked Kinda cool seeing old faves like Rachel Ashley, Taija Rae, and Sharon Mitchell in their prime suckin' and fuckin'. As a lover of full bush ( yum ) , gotta say I dug full coochie rug look sported here. What I Disliked Well, the whole plot of mayhem ensuing on the day of a wedding rehersal, with new wave band guests appearing, and the groom disappearing was just way too silly. The sex was pretty tame, and quick. Anal ? Not here . Facials and big loads period, nah uh. So we have a bizarre plot, weak ass sex. Shit. DVD Quality Transfer of an oldie, you'd figure its not quite modern quality, and you'd be correct. Not grainy and splotchy though, just ok. Extras ? Ha ha ha. Overall Thoughts Not the best golden age flick, no, not by a long ass mile. [read the full review]

Directors' Wet Dreams review summaries:
Flash's
Directors' Wet Dreams is a fun film to watch especially due to all of the scenes being done in different styles. There is something here to satisfy a wide range of porn viewers, although the extreme tame fans and the extreme nasty fans may not find enough to satiate them. Viewers who are into the artistic aspect of an adult film as much as the sex will get the most enjoyment out of this film. If the film sounds interesting or if you are a fan of one or more of the directors present in this volume, you'll probably at least want to rent the film if not buy it. [read the full review]

Running Time: 93 min. Production Date: 4 / 2002 Director: Henri Pachard Cast: Julie Meadows, Chantz Fortune, Ruby, Alana Evans, Becca Bratt, Alex Foxe, Joel Lawrence, Steve Hatcher, Steven St. Croix, Tony Tedeschi, Tommy Wanna, Rod Fontana, and Chris Evans in sexual roles and Vic Alpine, Marc, and Henri Pachard in a non-sex role Initial Expectations: Ive always liked Julie Meadows, and always look forward to her movies. Initial Reaction: Its not anything extremely special, but does have some nice and fun touches that raise it above a lot of the other stuff out there. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for something with a touch of humor and without the nastiness Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who wants something a lot different from the average porno Audio /Video Quality: The audio is clear and well balanced, without any signs of background noise. The only problem is that its a bit on the low side so I had to crank up the volume to hear much of it. The video is also clear, and barely shows any sign of grain. [read the full review]

Outlaw Ladies 1 review summaries:
YogaGrrl's
Cast: Veronica Hart, Juliet Anderson, Marlene Willoughby, Merle Michaels, Jody Maxwell, Samantha Fox, John Leslie, Richard Bolla, Bobby Astyr, Ron Hudd and Joey Silvera and in sex roles; Jolet Kodet, Candida Royalle, Erica Eaton, Elyse Alexander, Cami Graham, Josh Andrews, Al Greenbach, Henri Pachard and several others in nonsex roles. Director and writer: Henri Pachard Production date: ©1981 Length: 83 min. Extras: A slide show with 20 stills and a catalog list of classic VCA titles. Audio/visual quality: The quality of print is excellent, with a minimum of speckles and other defects. The lighting tends to be a bit low, but in a way that's flattering to the performers. The mix of camera angles is good. Shadows partially obscure some of the action, though not to the point that it bothers me. The penetration footage is briefer and generally less explicit than is common nowadays; it holds up well, however, when compared to other movies of the day. Two of the five scenes contain sex sounds only. [read the full review]

Who Should Watch It : Fans of classic porn, real women, and fun sex Who Should Avoid It: Fans of more extreme sex Audio /Video Quality: For being twenty years old, Outlaw Ladies looks and sounds very good. The audio is normally clear and well balanced, although there are a few minor problems in a few places. [read the full review]

Sexcapades (VCA) review summaries:
lindi's
Synopsis This 1983 Henri Pachard classic is a wholesome romp. Raincoaters can pass it by unless they are just in the mood for a little fun. The quirky humor, goofy music, and nostalgic feel of Sexcapades may please people who enjoy the feel of Pink Panther movies. The plot involves a director attempting to make a porn film. Scene 1 Joanna Storm and Alan Adrian perform a fumbling audition for two bored porn producers. Her earnest but misdirected enthusiasm is a real hoot. At one point she stops the sex to put socks under her knees to prevent rug-burn. Peter Meter = zero Scene 2 Sharon Mitchell plays a sexually clueless wife in a fluffy, unsexy nightie. Her alternately prudish and giggling responses to husband Eric Edwards will leave you feeling smug. She throws in a few moans for his inexpert cunnilingus. Peter Meter = zero Scene 3 Cartoonish music accompanies this goofy sex scene between Ashley Wells and Michael Bruce. [read the full review]

Devil In Miss Jones 2, The (VCA) review summaries:
Kate's
DMJ II goes beyond the colorfully erotic and enters the realm of exquisite filmmaking. What a wonderful movie funny, romantic, clever yes, Im talking about a porno here. Plot, sex, acting, scenery DMJ II succeeds on all counts. In how many movies do you get to watch Mary Antoinette and Cleopatra suck off the Devils Advocate? Or Cyrano de Bergerac give Georgina Spelvin the first orgasm in hell with his nose?The film opens with an erotic yet humorous seduction. Georgina Spelvin (Justine Jones), ever the siren, crawls toward Cyrano (whose nose is conveniently shaped like a penis) begging to mount him. As she writhes her way to ultimate pleasure Hells orgasm alert starts blaring (the no orgasm in hell rule has just been officiated.) Miss Jones is pulled off Cyranos face and dragged through the erotic bowels of Hell to meet with the man himself, Satan. [read the full review]
