Eyelashes review summaries:
Rosco Fuji's
Im not going to dwell too much on Eyelashes from Vivid-Alt as its one of those releases that tries to be high brow art instead of what it is, porn. That being said, this release has the very hot and tasty Katie St. Ives in it along with Aiden Starr and Charlotte Vale. The problem with this is that the high brow art aspect of the release completely kills it. IMHO, it sure seems like the majority of the film is shot through a rectangular magnifying glass, completely killing any inclination to view it. At this point, it becomes completely unwatchable.

If Eon McKais aim in putting together Eyelashes were to create an utterly unwatchable adult film, then one could call this endeavor a success. Under any other measure of accomplishment, however, this production outright fails. While I recognize that McKais tendency is toward being more artistic and establishing a unique look for his adult filmsand, as such, I have taken this into account somewhat positively in prior reviewsit has always been a noted concern of mine that he was being artsy simply for the sake of appearing edgy, different, and deep. Along these lines, I have always been concerned that this would one day take his work too far and ruin its value as an adult-oriented product. In Eyelashes, this is indeed what has finally transpired. Sowhat kills (literally) this movie as an adult film? The actresses are fine. The actors are fine. The sex, on the whole, even appears to be fine. Sure, the colors are drab, the sets are dull, the angles are sometimes awkward, the cuts are jumpy, and the camerawork is often jittery and jerky.

Art School Girls Are Easy review summaries:
fu_q's
"Art School Girls are Easy" is a good production distributed by Vivid Alt and featuring Goth-girl, Kasha Bella. Being geared toward a younger, hipper audience, this title is a bit more on the artsy side than your standard adult film. There are bizarre settings, odd dialogs, and dull colors. Further in keeping with this motif, body modifications, tattoos, and piercings abound--particularly on the actresses. Not surprisingly, these factors make for an interesting experience which, in all honesty, does keep the viewer's interest in a way that "regular" porn often doesn't. Clearly, there is something to this new-fangled formula of director, Eon McKai. Sex-wise, there are five scenes and four actresses (Kasha--three scenes Pixie Pearl--two scenes Stevie Hart--one scene Andy San Dimas--one scene). The best of these is Andy's boy-girl romp with Daniel. In all, I would recommend this to fans of Goth girls and to those who are looking for something a little different in their porn.

Content review summaries:
fu_q's
"Content" is a gritty production directed by Eon McKai and distributed by Vivid. As a Vivid Alt movie, it's no surprise that one finds actresses here who fit less into the typical "porn star" mold and more into the alternative mold. As such, tattoos, funky hairdos, and piercings abound, and the theme is fairly dark. In advancing this motif, grungy sets are employed, the film's colors are fairly bland, and--in some places--artistic effects are prevalent. Further, the camerawork gets a bit jumpy from time to time, and some odd camera angles are utilized. This is all clearly done for effect, however, and it works out well in giving the disc an "alternative" feel and also in framing the sex--which is hot! Five actresses--Kimberly Kane (anal), Coco Velvet, Madison Young (anal), Cali Nova, and Kitty Me-Ow McMuffin (anal)--are responsible for the heat and, overall, do a great job. This is recommended for fans of alternative girls and/or those looking for something a bit different. [read the full review]

On My Dirty Knees review summaries:
loverboy's
First off let me admit I have never heard of Eon McKai or alt porn. I found out he has been involved in internet porn and uses goth type women who aren't usually found in the biz. It was an interesting experience watching this dvd, but I'm not sure this is my kind of thing. McKai does a dvd commentary on this flick which I listened to. The camera barely stops moving through this dvd and at one point he admits that if we haven't vomited yet because of the camera work then he congratulates the viewer. Five fuck scenes are featured in McKai's "verite" alt style. [read the full review]

On My Dirty Knees is a great showcase for Andy San Dimas, and also for Violet Skye, the two girls who alternate carrying the scenes here (Andy in scenes 1, 3 & 5; Violet in scenes 2 & 4). Eon McKai has been developing some features that have not been carried so much by an explicit plot or dialogue as by set-ups and aesthetics, and this feature really has very little sense of plot, but there are elements of thematic unity. The video plays off of the theme of young women making their way into the "micro-famous" world of the adult industry. [read the full review]

Hospital (Vivid Alt.) review summaries:

Hospital! is Benny Profane's Vivid.Alt debut. It's kinda weird, and that's to be expected, but he's put his new access to some help and at least some kind of budget to good use here. It's an entertaining video with a good sense of humor and some good sex. [read the full review]

Bad Luck Betties, The review summaries:
Zorge's
Bad Luck Betties is a very entertaining film from Winkytiki, with a vibe that builds off of his earlier Rebelle Rousers (Kimberly Kane even makes a cameo here as her character from that movie.) The style has a very rockabilly, b-movie feel, with great effects meticulously pieced together by the director. The outfits and set-ups here work tremendously and make for a really fun vibe. On top of it, the original soundtrack perfectly fits the movie. There's just enough story to follow and keep things intriguing, but it never gets overburdened with details. [read the full review]

Debbie Loves Dallas review summaries:
Rick L. Blalock's
Debbie Loves Dallas does what other doesladen (yep, made-up word) Debbie remakes couldn't, or rather, wouldn't. Ok, so here, Debbie comes face to face with that Eon McKai character (2006 AVN award winner), no stranger to deconstructing adult film's most treasured franchises. Shot for cable television series Debbie Does Dallas Again, Eon fought to bring us the ultimate porno melting pot - an ensemble cast that's the who's who of porn's alt, proper and past, a completely fresh take on a classic adult film, and the cynical humor that we've come to expect from him. So, now Debbie's crushing on the synth-pop sensation Dallas, trying to hook up with the lead singer, and...confused? I bet...well, get used to it because this summer's hottest, feel-good, date movie is not being shown at the multiplex - you're looking at it! Oh, and we suggest screening it with mixed company.

Tristram's
A remake of Debbie does Dallas that's really not a remake; instead of being about cheerleaders it's about groupies and instead of taking place in Dallas there's a band called Dallas. What this means is that in this movie the girls quite literally get to do Dallas. It features decent sex of the alt variety, and looks good in terms of style, but the story parts of it unfortunately suffer from misplaced attempts at irony and off-kilter dialogue that's supposed to be funny but really is just a pain to sit through.
