Running Time: 85 min. Production Date: 11 / 15 / 2001 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Monica Sweetheart, Jassie, Asia Carrera, April, Dee, Dale DaBone, Lee Stone, Joey Ray, Cheyne Collins, Micky Ray, and Randy Redwood in sexual roles and Anthony Crane, Erin Sky, and Tiffany Enright in non-sex roles Initial Expectations: Michael Raven almost always amazes me in some way with his features. Ive heard that hes really happy with Evolution which really makes me expect a great feature. Initial Reaction: Its very artistic, and the sex is normally above average Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for couples style sex with a different feel Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for nastier sex Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced. Michael Raven normally shoots on film, so there is a little grain, but for film it looks very clear. There are a few areas where shadows interfere a little, but the shadows do feel kind of natural in some of the places. [read the full review]

Anthony Crane is the Beast a wealthy (it is implied in one scene at least) but scarred pornographer who is in search of a mistress to complete him. Who he finds is Beauty (played by Jessica Drake).

I always have very high expectations for his work, especially when it gets as many AVN nominations as this did. Initial Reaction: Its an extremely well done feature that I have a feeling is really going to grow on me over time. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for something different from the run of the mill porno Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks Vivid pushes the limits a little too much Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced through most of the feature.

Running Time: 80 min. Production Date: 2 / 15 / 2001 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Ava Vincent, Jessica Drake, Samantha Style, Envy, Evan Stone, Randy Spears, Dale DaBone, and Herschel Savage Initial Expectations: Michael Raven has become one of my favorite directors with his amazing art direction and adult movies such as Adrenaline, Rage, and Underworld. Hes said that he thinks that this is one of his best which gives me a lot of hope for this feature. I just hope that Sin City doesnt screw up the DVD too bad. Initial Reaction: Once again, Michael Raven has created a great adult movie that runs on the dark side rather than just a run of the mill porno. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for something bigger than just the average stroke film and who doesnt mind dark subjects Who Should Avoid It: Raincoaters and anybody who likes happy and fluffy porn Audio /Video Quality: The audio sounds great.

Im hoping for another great adult film (as opposed to just a porno) here. Initial Reaction: Its not quite as creative as Underworld, but still an excellent adult movie with a lot of the same touches. Sadly, the overall DVD isnt nearly as good as the movie. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who likes extremely well made pornos with great sex and plot, anybody who likes things a little darker in nature Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who likes extremely soft sex or not a lot of plot Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced.

I had heard a lot about this Michael Raven film from 2000 but despite its high budget and excellent production values, the film simply doesn't hold up and there are far to many plot and acting problems to really put it as anything better than a slightly above average venture. [read the full review]

Unfortunately Ive had awful luck with the treatment Sin City gives their movies on DVD so Im not expecting the overall package to be that good. Initial Reaction: Wow!!! I liked it so much that I ordered several of Mr. Ravens other movies. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for original and well done porn who thinks that there hasnt been much really good porn since The Devil in Miss Jones 6. Anybody who loves mythology and porn. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks porn should be all pink and frilly and happy where any time two people meet they should have sex. [read the full review]

Adrenaline (Sin City) review summaries:
fu_q's
Nothing but trouble (...and hot fucking, of course...) follows when the outlaw pair of Evan Stone and his thrill-seeking, super-sexual girlfriend, Ava Vincent, rolls into a sleepy, country town. Particularly affected is a beautiful, young waitress, jessica drake, who's desperately seeking a ticket out of the boring berg and who ends up enchanted by Stone's bad-boy spell and broken promises. It's hard to imagine such a scenario ending well, and whether it will or won't becomes the burning question of the day. Such is the case in "Adrenaline", an exceptional, 2000 release from Sin City and director Michael Raven. [read the full review]

Running Time: 97 min. Production Date: 8 / 16 / 2000 Director: Michael Raven (who also wrote the screenplay) Cast: Jessica Drake, Evan Stone, Ava Vincent, Julie Meadows, Dillion Day, Alec Metro in sex scenes and Anthony Crane, Nicole London, Jim Enright, Jack Palance, Harry Jacque, Danny Wallace and Ric Rodney in non-sex roles Initial Expectations: Michael Ravens Underworld completely blew me away and Michael Raven told me that he considers this one of his best, so I have very high expectations for Adrenaline. Sin Citys overall DVDs, however, have been okay so Im not sure if the movie will get the treatment it really deserves. Initial Reaction: I wasnt even five minutes into Adrenaline (including the opening credits) before I knew I was really going to like the movie. The overall DVD is better than average but a few little changes would help a lot. Who Should Watch It : Fans of almost anybody in the cast and anybody who likes great adult movies (which go far beyond pornos). [read the full review]

Production Date: 6 / 7 / 2000 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Asia Carrera, Sydnee Steele, Gina Lynn, Ava Vincent, Isabella Camille, Shayla Summers, Alec Metro, Pat Myne, Dillion Day, Evan Stone, Devan Sapphire, and Mike Horner Initial Expectations: With Michael Ravens creativity, Im not sure what to expect, but Im almost certain itll be good. Initial Reaction: Its very different from most adult films you might watch, but has some great sex. Who Should Watch It : Anybody who doesnt want extreme or nasty sex, but does want something very unique and with a dark edge Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks couples sex has to be boring and tame Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very clear and well balanced through most of the movie, but the final scene is a little off balance in a couple places. The video appears a little off, but its consistent enough to appear to be on purpose. The proportions are off on everything, so that everything looks a little stretched out. [read the full review]

Pretty Girls (Sin City) review summaries:
Brad's
Scene One - Drive In Lovin - Kristi Myst The first 2 minutes or so shows Kristi out side a 50s style drive in / burger joint set. She is dressed in a Pink sweater and a strapless top with her hair done in a bee hive style do. She flirts with the camera in various poses flashing her breasts and ass. I have been a fan of Kristis for a while and she seems to be enjoying herself more so than usual here as she genually smiles at the camera while teasing the viewer. A nice feature was some of the camera shots were done in black and white, complete with the moving vertical black lines, to try to enhance the 50s style of TV. Cut to an in car make out scene with a combo hand / blow job from Kristi. it surprised me how much she was smiling throughout this. She also made some good eye contact with the male actor (name unknown). She rides him while in the car for awhile before he does her doggy style outside the car. [read the full review]

The cast and director, however, give me good hopes. Initial Reaction: Its pretty good, and although not outstanding, it did have some hot sex. Who Should Watch It : Raincoaters Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for any kind of plot. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is very good. You can hear almost everything, including during the outdoor scenes. It would have been great except for the last scene which is poorly dubbed. There is also a little wind noise in parts, but it isnt too bad. As seems to be the norm for Michael Raven, the video is in widescreen. Its a little grainy but not too bad. Music: The music is pretty typical and rests very quietly in the background. [read the full review]

Initial Reaction: Its a pretty good raincoater feature, but not as good as some of Ravens other works. Who Should Watch It : Raincoaters and people who like slightly nastier sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks VCA and Vivid are a little too nasty or who want a plot with their porn. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is normally clear and well balanced. Theres a few places where it sounds like there might be people talking in the background, but instead it was some of the music.

Running Time: approx. 78 min. Production Date: 12 / 13 / 1999 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Katja Kean, Devinn Lane, Sydnee Steele, Cassidey (listed here as Paisley Adams), Dayton Raines, Gia, Shay Sweet, Mark Davis, Chris Cannon, Eric Price, Earl Slate, Pat Myne, and Mike Horner Initial Expectations: Michael Raven is one of my favorite directors, so I always look forward to his movies with high expectations. Initial Reaction: Just put the DVD back on the shelf and nobody has to get hurt. Who Should Watch It : Fans of features such as Secrets and Whispers, anybody looking for a lot of sex with a minimum of plot, and anybody who enjoys well done art direction Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for a lot of plot with their porn, who thinks an ideal porn set is a bed, or who wants to see how nasty a scene can get Audio /Video Quality: Michael Raven normally shoots on film, which normally means the video is a bit grainy. Im not sure if he used film or not, but if so, Sin City did a great job with it since theres very little grain. [read the full review]

This is my second review. I think I may be qualified, as I have now mastered the art of removing a dvd from the hub in the case. My husband will be watching this movie with me. Synopsis This movie has one really good scene (the third), and another worth watching (the first). Scene 1 The scene opens in a graffiti-filled alley, with April flashing her titties and ass, and mugging the camera. Fast-flash editing and softcore don't do it for us. She squats and pees, laughing. Dillion Day grabs her and pushes her down for a brief bj and a little titty-fucking. We are liking this for a minute, but James Bonn enters and most of the heat goes out of it for us. Both guys present their cocks, and April keeps her hands busy. She's sucking Dillion while James does her doggy, then the guys switch. Dillion is the hot one in this scene, as he does some nice butt-slapping, tit-pulling, and ass squeezing. Then they find a clean foam mattress next to some old tires in the filthy alley. Dillion in mish does a wee bit of choking her - we don't like that too much. [read the full review]

Running Time: 83 min. Production Date: 1 / 15 / 2000 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Silvia Saint, Katja Kean, April, Wendy (Maya) Divine, Jodi Roxx, Mr. Marcus, Evan Stone, Eric Price, Dillion Day, James Bonn, and Eric Masterson Initial Expectations: Both Underworld and Adrenaline really impressed me, so I have high hopes for this Michael Raven feature as well. Initial Reaction: Its a dang hot all sex feature. Who Should Watch It : Raincoaters, fans of any of the stars, anybody looking for hot artistic sex and slightly rougher sex. Who Should Avoid It: Fans of tame sex and plot. Audio /Video Quality: The audio comes across very clean. It ranges from being well balanced to the music being the only audio. The video has just enough grain to look like it was shot on film. Music: The music is very modern and even has lyrics in parts. Its a great mix of techno and rock and ranges from normally being very well balanced to being the only audio in the scene. [read the full review]

Running Time: 91 min. Production Date: 10 / 30 / 1998 Director: Jon Raven (also writer) Cast: Sydnee Steele, T. J. Hart, Julie Meadows, Taylor St. Clair, Jessica Darlin, Sabrina Johnson, Gwen Summers (non-sex), John Decker, Van Damage, Luciano, Cameron Steel, Jon Raven, Paula Domain (non-sex), Ernest Green (non- sex), John Root, and George Kaplan (non-sex) Initial Expectations: With a cast like this Its almost impossible to not have fairly high expectations even if the DVD is from Extreme. Initial Reaction: Its a good idea but not done as well as I think it could be. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is pretty clear but the balance is slightly off. The video varies from intentionally grainy to slightly grainy to very clear and mixes black and white and color. It works very well for the movie. Music: The music is fairly heavy and overbearing. Its dark, eerie, weird music that seems like it would fit well in The X-Files but it doesnt always fit well here. [read the full review]
