Firestorm review summaries:
fu_q's
Hired to ghost-write a book by a wealthy socialite (Kay Parker), Eric Edwards encounters--and takes advantage of--a world in which just about everyone is corrupt. From Parker''s and her husband''s (John Leslie''s) cheating ways to an au pair with sticky fingers (Rikki Harte) to Edwards'' quasi-girlfriend/stripper (Tina Marie), everybody seems to have an angle. The only innocent one? Parker''s and Leslie''s blind daughter (Joanna Storm)...who''s naively looking for love. So goes "Firestorm", an exceptional 1984 release from director Cecil Howard and Command Video. [read the full review]

Spitfire review summaries:
fu_q's
From its catchy opening score, cleverly-cut credits, and nostalgic shots of old-school New York City, it''s clear that the audience is in for a fun and sexy treat with "Spitfire", an exceptional 1984 release from director Cecil Howard and Command Video. Reproduced beautifully at Hotmovies.com, this production is in many ways pornographic poetry in motion from start to finish. Exquisitely captured and edited, this film is centered around a corrupt professor-turned-politician (R. Bolla) whose "chastity belt" agenda has caught on nationally and is bringing in millions. Of course, he''s actually a perv and a fraud, his daughter (Tigr) is an insatiable nymphomaniac, and his wife (Samantha Fox) is a gold digger in every sense of the word. Needless to say, the storyline is intricate, well-crafted and comical, the acting is superb throughout, and the end result is a true Golden Age classic that should not be missed.

Vanessa is an excellent adult film loop, that was initially called Vanessa's Hottest Fantasy, from Henri Pachard and Command Cinema. Vanessa Del Rio rarely disappoints in her scenes, and she certainly doesn't disappoint the viewer in Vanessa.

Suburban Dykes is a really fun queer short film from Debi Sundahl. The movie never really goes anywhere. Still, the journey to nowhere is a whole lot of fun with great performances from adult film industry legends Sharon Mitchell and Nina Hartley, along with Peppar, who this reviewer is surprised never became a more prominent name given her talent. Debi Sundahl has managed to cram so many different sex scenes and fetishes into the movie that it is hard to believe it is only a half-hour long. Suburban Dykes is genuinely a fun, guilty pleasure. Fatale Media has done a good job with the picture quality of their streaming-only edition of Suburban Dykes on PinkLabel.TV, but the sound leaves something to be desired. [read the full review]

Fallen Angels (Alpha Blue Archives) review summaries:
fu_q's
While held in disdain as a selectively-edited hatchet job against the adult film industry by some insiders, 1985''s "Fallen Angels" nevertheless provides an interesting, contemporaneous behind-the-scenes look at the skin flick world of the mid-1980''s. Re-released digitally by Alpha Blue Archives and streaming on AdultEmpire.com''s Unlimited service, this film largely focuses upon a trio of porn starlets new to the industry (Kristara Barrington, Lisa Lake, and a short-termer named Kim), interviewing them (and, where applicable, their boyfriends) at various points over a several month period.

8mm Madness Volume 2 Number 1: The Rough & Raunchy Collection is a collection of 8mm loops that focuses on the more taboo loops that were released.

Dirty 30s (Alpha Blue Archives) review summaries:

If you're going to put together a short (less than 30 minutes) compilation of mid-80's porn, then to really have your best shot at doing it right, you need to make it all about Christy Canyon--and Ginger Lynn, as well--arguably the two biggest stars of the era (...at least who were of age). That's exactly what "Dirty 30s", a very good production from Alpha Blue Archives, does...and does well. [read the full review]

Flesh Gordon (Blu-ray) review summaries:
Flash's
Flesh Gordon is a softcore parody of Flash Gordon, which combines the right level of camp, cheesy special effects, and ambition behind it to be a fun film, even though the originally conceived hardcore version was never to be. Fans of hardcore films from the 70s should find a lot of fun here, while also trying to find the blue screen actors and actresses from the era in the film hiding in the remaining close to hardcore footage. Hen's Tooth Video has done a decent job with their Blu-ray release of Flesh Gordon. The picture exhibits some heavy grain, and the colors appear to be overly muted in places however, this is likely the best the film will ever look for the home video market. [read the full review]

Let My Puppets Come (Blu-ray/DVD) (Vinegar Syndrome) review summaries:
Flash's
Let My Puppets Come is a real oddity in the world of adult film being the first, and only, adult puppet musical movie. The film is an adult puppet show that lampoons the adult film industry, with well-made puppets, extensive musical numbers, and a good heaping of low-brow humor. Let My Puppets Come isn't going to be for everyone in fact, the viewers that will genuinely enjoy the film will be in the minority. For the right viewer, though, Let My Puppets Come is a fun film. Vinegar Syndrome has done an excellent job with their Blu-ray and DVD combo pack with excellent picture and sound quality. [read the full review]

When Jamie Gillis, sporting a dick-nose pair of glasses, throws a party, all of the masked, costumed freaks--from maids to furries to doctors to magicians and so on--show up...and fuck. What results is a hardcore, nonstop entanglement of flesh involving the likes of John Holmes, Sharon Mitchell, Mai Lin, Misty Dawn, Ron Jeremy, and several other notable performers of its time...and the ensuing action is hot! Such is the case in "Marathon", an exceptional, 1983 release from director Carlos Tobalina and remastered by Vinegar Syndrome. [read the full review]

All sexual hell breaks loose when two dopes, one a fish oil salesman and the other a raving mad genius, concoct an elixir for their newly-formed, natural medicine store that ends up being a potent, long-lasting aphrodisiac. Of course, this accidental event both creates an insatiable demand for the product and also a local emergency, as man and woman alike succumb to their baser desires and imbibe the potion. A pack of sex-hungry loons that terrorize San Francisco with their untamed libidos is the result. So goes "Blondes Have More Fun", an exceptional, 1979 release from director John Seeman that has been exquisitely remastered and reissued by Vinegar Syndrome and company. [read the full review]

Having pissed off a group of poker-playing hicks, a rough-and-tumble biker gang, and a couple of low-rent mobsters, two unemployed, wannabe cowboys (Rick Lutze and Paul Thomas) and a young, runaway bride (Amber Hunt) find themselves on the run and in hiding. Whether their constant string of good-for-nothin' shenanigans has finally caught up with them or whether they'll escape and live happily ever after remains to be seen, but--either way--the one thing that's for certain is that there will be a heapin' helpin' of hot and horny fucking along the way.

Climax of Blue Power, A (Blu-ray) (Vinegar Syndrome) review summaries:

A Climax of Blue Power is an interesting roughie. A Climax of Blue Power was initially made as the softcore roughie The Impersonator by Lee Frost and then was converted, with inserts, into the hardcore roughie A Climax of Blue Power. Some of the inserts were well done and others, not so well done. As an exploitation film, despite being quickly made, A Climax of Blue Power works well. As a hardcore film, A Climax of Blue Power works poorly, and the inserts add nothing to the film at all. Vinegar Syndrome has done a nice job with their Blu-ray and DVD combo pack of A Climax of Blue Power with good sound and picture quality. [read the full review]

When his promiscuous, dissatisfied hippie of a wife (Dorothy Smight) opts to divorce him, leaving him unable to pay to for it, the down-on-his-luck Jon Martin has little choice but to take on a low-end job as an encyclopedia salesman for an ambitious businesswoman (Brigit Olsen), who's also the client of his attorney (Christine DeShaffer). Of course, Jon would be an utter failure at this piece of his life, as well, if it weren't for his almost uncanny ability to ensnare women with his naively innocent charm...and then satisfy them thoroughly with his seemingly mystical cock. Such is the case in Howard Perkins' overall-good, 1978 release, "Hot Lunch", which has been skillfully remastered by Vinegar Syndrome. [read the full review]

Devil's Due review summaries:
fu_q's
Traumatized by one awful experience after another, a young, promising high school graduate, Cindy West, ultimately finds herself both without a voice and also initiated into a sexualized, satanic, New York City cult. With her hatred of men growing by the minute, and the cult's leader, Guy Thomas, interested in only one thing from his flock, it remains to be seen whether Cindy will fall victim yet again or whether she'll rise above it all and find solace (and revenge) in the arms of her lord, Satan. Such is the case in "Devil's Due", an overall-good, 1973 release from director Ernest Danna and re-mastered by Vinegar Syndrome. [read the full review]

Flash's
Erotic Nights of the Living Dead is a decent horror and adult film mix from Joe D'Amato. The film does run a little long, is light on the hardcore, and a bit light on the horror, and drags in some places but the story is decent, and the film does make for enjoyable viewing. Fans of the film should be pleased with the limited edition Blu-ray from Code Red. The video and audio quality on the Blu-ray are good. [read the full review]

King Dong (Alpha Blue) review summaries:
fu_q's
When her mother wants to send her away to a camp in Montana for the summer, a hot-to-trot, young woman, Crystal Holland, decides to run away with her friends on one of their sailboats and sail halfway around the world. Of course, nothing could possibly go wrong with that idea...until Crystal's given the helm, hits a ship at night, and she and the boat's owner, Chaz St. Peters, end up as castaways on an island populated with monsters, cannibals, and Amazons...and they're all either angry or horny...or both. Such is the case in "King Dong", a subpar, 1985 release from Alpha Blue and director Yancey Hendrieth. [read the full review]

Helena review summaries:
Flash's
Helena is an odd French hardcore film. While Helena is a hardcore film it almost seems like it was originally intended to be a softcore roughie and the tone of the film takes a drastic change halfway through the film. Fans of roughies may want to to give the film a watch but once the twist in the film is known replay value probably won't be that high. Impulse Pictures has done a really nice job on their DVD release of Helena so fans of the film will want to pick up this release. [read the full review]

Bat Pussy (Blu-ray) review summaries:
Flash's
Bat Pussy is not a good adult film by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, calling Bat Pussy an adult film is likely even a stretch since there is nothing erotic about the film. Bat Pussy would honestly be better as birth control than as an arousal aide. The only purpose in life that Bat Pussy actually serves is to be used for a Mystery Science Theater 3000 style get together where one has a bunch of people together to endlessly mock the film. As a result, it is impossible to recommend Bat Pussy to any sane person. Robot Love Slaves is a rather poorly made film as well with few, if any, redeeming qualities. There is no real reason to need to see Robot Love Slaves either. AGFA has created as close to a definitive version that one will ever see for Bat Pussy with an excellent presentation on the Blu-ray. Robot Love Slaves is disappointing however with a rather worn and beaten print of the softcore version of the film. [read the full review]

Deep Throat (Blu-ray) (Intimate) review summaries:
Flash's
Deep Throat is a historically significant film within the adult film industry due to the part the film played in kicking off the porno chic era. That aside, Deep Throat is nowhere near the best film to come out of the golden age of adult films nor was it anywhere near the best film to have been made by Gerard Damiano. Deep Throat is a cute comedy that will give the viewer some laughs and offers some nice looking sex scenes. Deep Throat is worth watching but don't expect anything groundbreaking here. Intimate Film has done a frustrating job with their Blu-ray and DVD combo mediabook release of Deep Throat. The image appears to have been upscaled from 720p poorly to 1080p for the release and the audio sounds very flat. [read the full review]

Vinegar Syndrome has done an absolutely stunning job with their DVD release of Roger Guermantes 1971 film Dark Dreams. Unfortunately, the film, itself, isn't that good. Dark Dreams is a horror/adult feature film hybrid which is a dream-based film. Even when the viewer reaches the end of the film, the plot makes little sense and the film is very erratically edited with some less than erotic sex scenes. Dark Dreams looks absolutely beautiful on this release, however, the film itself is impossible to recommend. [read the full review]

In the 1971 shocker, DARK DREAMS, directed by, Roger Guermantes, Jack(Harry Reems) and Jill(Tina Russell), are a newlywed couple. It is the day of their marriage, after a three-year courtship between the two. They are driving down the road, while arguing about sex. Jill is still a virgin, and Jack has waited all these years to finally have her. However, she does not want her first time in the car. Much to Jack's dislike, they keep on driving. That is, however, until they get a flat tire. Jack gets out of the car to check for a spare tire, but is surprised that his friend did not have one in there. Because of this, Jack and Jill are stranded in the cold on their wedding day, when they decide to knock on the door of an old Victorian house, which they spot nearby. [read the full review]

Intrusion is one of the most brutal and offsetting adult films ever made and the film is one of the best of the horror-adult hybrid films. The sex is unlikely to be erotic due to the psychological horror aspects of the film and the non-consensual nature of the sex scenes. However, the film is truly chilling due to the great cast and the good script and should be enjoyed by fans of the genre.

Scoundrels review summaries:
fu_q's
Living a superficial, upper-middle class life with his mundane, flimsy facade of a family, a mediocre psychiatrist (Ron Jeremy) finds himself stuck with an unfaithful wife (Lisa B.), who's cheating upon him with his best friend (George Payne) and also their daughter's quasi-boyfriend (Sean Eilliott). Thrown into the mix is said budding, but "invisible" daughter (Tigr), who's covertly exploring her own sexuality in all manner of bizarre and dangerous ways. Of course, for his part, Ron is cheating with a slew of prostitutes and his clingy secretary (Copper Penny), who happens to also be banging Payne, as well. On top of it all, Ron finds himself harassed throughout the film (during cut-scenes) by a large, talking white light, the identity of which is fairly easy to figure out, though it isn't formally revealed until the end of the flick. Such is the case in "Scoundrels", a very good, 1982 release from Command Video and acclaimed director, Cecil Howard. [read the full review]

While Marsha enjoys a playful romp with "Joe"(Eric Edwards) the couple's long-time meter man. The two separate experiments then, finally open up the couple to experiences of their own with one another as they become more and more adventurous and curious. [read the full review]

Afternoon Delights is one of the best of the vignette films that was ever made by the adult film industry and Slave of Pleasure, the third and final entry in the Dan McCord series, is a hokey detective tale. This release is worth picking up for Afternoon Delights alone. Vinegar Syndrome has done a beautiful job with the audio and video quality on this release. [read the full review]

Touch Of Genie, A (Blu-Ray) review summaries:
Flash's
A Touch of Genie is a cute hardcore feature comedy from director Joseph W. Sarno in the mid-1970s. A Touch of Genie isn't the greatest adult comedy that was made at the time, however, it is amusing and good for some genuine laughs. The sex scenes are well done and the film is worth watching for fans of the genre. Vinegar Syndrome has done an absolutely stellar job with their Blu-ray and DVD combination package for A Touch of Genie with excellent audio and video quality. [read the full review]

Hollywood Cowboy review summaries:
Flash's
Hollywood Cowboy is a unique and interesting bisexual feature adult film from the early 1970s. What makes Hollywood Cowboy so interesting is the combination of heterosexual and homosexual sex scenes in the film. It isn't all that common to see both within an adult film. Hollywood Cowboy has a lot of issues with it, however, the film is a bunch of campy fun making the film well worth watching. Vinegar Syndrome has done a great job with their streaming only version of Hollywood Cowboy available on Exploitation.TV that has good video and audio quality. [read the full review]

Midnight Hustler review summaries:
Flash's
The Midnight Hustler is an overall ugly film from an anonymous director. Sadly, The Midnight Hustler just serves as an example of how cheap and slimy adult films could be in the 1970s. The plot is essentially non-existent and many of the sets are plain lacking. The sex scenes aren't overly well-done. The Midnight Hustler is an easy film to skip. The quality of the film itself aside, Vinegar Syndrome has done a good job with their streaming only version of The Midnight Hustler on Exploitation.TV. Their print is beaten up and there are some issues that go back to the production but Vinegar Syndrome has made what they had to work with look good. [read the full review]

Hot Summer in the City is a blacksploitation roughie from Harry Mohney that despite a few clever portions isn't really worth watching.

Vinegar Syndrome has done a great job with their streaming release of Hot Summer in the City on Exploitation.TV. The video looks great and the audio is rather good.

P is an absolutely bizarre adult film made by someone known only as Tom, who appears to have little to no filmmaking knowledge, who managed to make about every technical mistake possible. In addition, the film has some strange sex scenes and the most outrageous depiction of a woman cumming that has probably ever been put onto celluloid. It is impossible to recommend P to any viewer and viewers who choose to watch it will question themselves as to why afterward. Vinegar Syndrome has done a decent job with their streaming version of P available on Exploitation.TV. The print they used to master P has seen heavy wear over its life but is still watchable.

42nd Street Forever: The Peep Show Collection Volume 20 is the latest collection of 8mm loops to be released by Impulse Pictures. As is their modus operandi for their loop compilations, Impulse Pictures has included 15 loops on the release broken into the three categories of boy/girl, three or more, and lesbian. The vintage of the loops ranges from the very early 70s through the mid-80s which is roughly the span of when hardcore loops were produced. The quality of the loops, both in visual and in actual production values, obviously varies from loop to loop. Impulse Pictures has done a nice job with this release. For collectors of the old hardcore 8mm loops, 42nd Street Forever: The Peep Show Collection Volume 20 is a nice addition to your collection. [read the full review]

Tongue is a great adult film that was also the first adult blacksploitation film to be released. The film tells an enjoyable story with some good sex scenes and features a great cast. Tongue is an adult film that shouldn't be missed. Vinegar Syndrome has done a good job with their streaming release of Tongue on the Exploitation.TV service. Their print has some damage but this is easily the best version of Tongue released for the home market so far. Hopefully, Vinegar Syndrome will release this film on DVD or Blu-ray in the near future so that more viewers can be exposed to it. Until then, this film is worth a one-month membership to Exploitation.TV alone. [read the full review]

Winter Sports is an early hardcore feature, which is honestly a stretch to really call a feature, that manages to fail at every aspect of being a hardcore feature film. The plot is non-existent, the film itself is more a series of connected loops than attempting to tell a story. The hardcore material is scant in the film and horribly shot. The mood, feel, and settings for the film are poorly done. Basically, Winter Sports is a failure as a film. Vinegar Syndrome has done a nice job with their streaming release of Winter Sports on Exploitation.TV with a nice image and decent audio. [read the full review]

A seemingly virginal, though certainly troubled, young woman, Rosemary (played by Sharon Thorpe), finds herself both unable to have sex unless in impersonal situations and also swirling further and further into madness, particularly upon the death of her estranged father. Where this disturbed path that her troubled psyche takes her upon will ultimately lead is anyone's guess, but one thing is for certain, and that's that it will be dark...and sexual. Such is the case in "Baby Rosemary", a bizarre, though very good, re-release of a 1976 Howard Perkins film by Vinegar Syndrome. [read the full review]

As with previous entries in the series, the old 8mm loops collected here are broken into the lesbian, boy/girl, and groupings categories. The loops included here vary from ones that start with the action already going to ones with set-up and subtitled dialog for the scenes. Fans of the old loops should enjoy this collection as much as they have enjoyed the previous collections. Impulse Pictures has done a good job with the release. Each loop is of differing quality, but most are in generally good shape. [read the full review]

Writer/Director Kemal Horulu's 1983 drama-thriller, NEVER SLEEP ALONE, begins with an ominous tone right out of the gate. This as the camera captures a scene outside of a court building, where all we can hear are the ongoing proceedings of a trial. It is then that the film takes us back in time to chronicle the life of Lisa Alexander"(Tina Marie) and her husband "Dan Alexander"(John Leslie). Lisa and Dan, maintain an unconventional lifestyle. They are swingers, and often go to parties thrown by their neighbor "Diana"(Honey Wilder) at a local club called "Plato's Retreat", where basically anything goes, when it comes to sex. Both Lisa and Dan are very open in their relationship and are allowed to have relations with others, however, they have but one rule. They are not to sleep with each other's friends. This is something that they have been able to manage. However, soon, things get complicated, when Dan begins to have eyes for Diana's new roommate, "Natalie"(Joanna Storm). [read the full review]

Oral Generation review summaries:
fu_q's
The particular value of Vinegar Syndrome's re-master and reissue of "The Oral Generation" is primarily a historical one. Indeed, this film provides a fairly unique window back to the past and the early days of the industry's inception. Presented as a documentary--which was typical for such early releases due to obscenity standards of the era--this production offers up a mix of educational material and commentary. The principal focus is upon oral sex--still something of a taboo in 1970--and its value to couples, particularly women. [read the full review]

Taboo 3, on the other hand, is a massive let down with a poor story that does little to connect with the first two films and seems like just an attempt to cash in on the Taboo name. Most viewers likely won't have any interest seeing the film more than once. Taboo 2 makes this release worth picking up. Vinegar Syndrome has done a great job with this release.

Ed Wood's 8mm Porn Loops review summaries:
Flash's
Edward D. Wood, Jr.'s involvement in the adult film industry has always fascinated this reviewer. CineFear Video's Ed Wood's 8mm Porn Loops collects 12 Swedish Erotica 8mm adult film loops that are believed to have been written and directed by Wood and presents them for viewers who are looking to see some of Wood's short subject adult work. Fans of 8mm adult film loops should find this to be an enjoyable compilation of loops whereas viewers who prefer feature-style adult movies or general fans of Wood's mainstream output are less likely to find this to be a worthy addition to their collection. CineFear Video has done an acceptable job with their DVD-MOD release of Ed Wood's 8mm Porn Loops with some framing and other video issues. [read the full review]

Unfortunately for them, the violent biker gang The Cobras is nearby and immediately makes trouble for our unfortunate campers whod much rather be swimming, fishing, or playing topless solitaire. When Eve is assaulted and kidnapped after skinny-dipping in Lake Shangri-La, the others try to find her only to get captured themselves! What follows is trademark 70s sleaze!

Vinegar Syndrome's All Night at the Po-No is a collection of 12 quickly and cheaply made early 70s Los Angeles made adult films. A lot of what is presented here after one viewing you will never want to view again. There are a few others that will stand up to repeated viewings. Vinegar Syndrome wisely decided to make the cost not to expensive so it doesn't matter that a lot of the films presented here are duds. The few winners make up for it. The transfers aren't up to Vinegar Syndrome's usual standards but all the films are watchable. Vinegar Syndrome did miss the mark a little on the disc authoring and the extras included. If you like adult films from the transitional period from softcore to when hardcore films started getting actual budgets, you'll want to check this set out. [read the full review]

When a big-time, 1920's gangster's (Harry Reems') whiny girlfriend (Cara Lott) hits the road, he's quick to find another main squeeze in the form of a fresh-off-the-bus cigarette girl (Ginger Lynn) at one of his clubs. Unfortunately for Harry, while Ginger has all of the requisite physical attributes (...and then some...) to meet his picky standards, she's a bit too innocent and proper for his low-brow tastes. What's a guy to do when faced with such dire circumstances? Well...employ his incarcerated buddy's, and fellow gangster's (Herschel Savage's), tawdry girlfriend (Amber Lynn) to train her, of course. What could possibly go wrong, right? Such is the case in "Trashy Lady", an exceptional re-release of director Steve Scott's 1985 masterpiece from Vinegar Syndrome. [read the full review]

Little does Hersch know, however, but a group of aphrodisiac-wielding, Nazi relics from World War II--now hiding out in South America--are also after the tome, as they intend to employ it in reestablishing the glory that was their cherished Third Reich.

Of course, it's just her luck that two low-life characters find her, steal her transportation, and exploit her for their own ugly purposes...setting off a cascade of difficult events for the young Desi that only seem to go from bad to worse. Such is the case in "Pretty Peaches", an exceptional, 1978 release from director Alex DeRenzy which has been remastered exceptionally well by Vinegar Syndrome. [read the full review]

The fine folks at Vinegar Syndrome have cleaned up and re-released Alex DeRenzy's PRETTY PEACHES (1978) with the original 91 minute 35mm film intact and looking better than ever in all its wide screen glory. Bouncy and bubbly Desiree Cousteau plays Peaches, who takes a knock on the head then wanders about not knowing who she is, which is a recipe for horn dogs and other assorted sleaze bags to take advantage of her. No condoms but plenty of wacky dialog accompanying the sexual shenanigans in this xxx comedy concoction. [read the full review]

Lost John Holmes Films: Doctor I'm Coming & Balls In Action, The review summaries:
Flash's
The Lost John Holmes Films contains two early John Holmes features, Balls in Action and Doctor I'm Coming. This release is not very easy to recommend. Neither film is very good on a sexual level, plot level, or technical level. And Hustler removing most of the audio, and possibly portions of the actual film for Doctor I'm Coming, make this release even less desirable. [read the full review]

Peekarama: Robin's Nest / Bella review summaries:
Flash's
Vinegar Syndrome has put together a good pairing of films with their release of Bella and Robins Nest. Bella is the highlight of the set and is worth the purchase all by itself. Vinegar Syndrome has added a nice piece from Carter Stevens on Bella as well. The second film, Robins Nest, isn't as good as Bella is but one can think of it is a free extra since Bella is worth the price of admission alone. Vinegar Syndrome has done a beautiful job with this release both films sport beautiful transfers. [read the full review]

The fine folks at Vinegar Syndrome have scanned and restored two classic flicks from their original 35 mm camera negatives. Both films feature real life lovers Arcadia Lake and Eric Edwards and one of the films, BELLA from 1980, might just be one of the best from that era, while the other flick, ROBIN'S NEST from 1979, is a solid little xxx comedy. So, PEEKARAMA: ROBIN'S NEST/BELLA (2016, Vinegar Syndrome) becomes an easy rave recommendation for those classic fuck flick aficionados, who will finally get to see BELLA in a beautiful wide screen restoration along with some solid BELLA extras including a video interview with cinematographer Carter Stevens and a terrific original trailer.

Star Virgin (Vinegar Syndrome) review summaries:
fu_q's
Humanity, in its seemingly infinite stupidity, has long since killed itself off, and a race of space-traveling robots and "thinking machines" has taken its place. Of course, there still remains one hope--one chance, if you will--for mankind, as one of the machines named Mentor, who resembles a cross between a trash can and a fifth grade art project gone wrong, brings to life a single, test-tube born member of the race, the outrageously gorgeous Kari Klark. Klark, the "Star Virgin" and stereotypical, horny blonde bimbo to the max, is life's last chance...which means that it's pretty much fucked...or, at a minimum, fucking. Such is the case in this clever, cheesy, and comical little re-mastering of the 1979, Howard Ziehm classic by Vinegar Syndrome. [read the full review]

Too Naughty To Say No (Vinegar Syndrome) review summaries:
Rick L. Blalock's
In the 1984 film, TOO NAUGHTY TO SAY NO, "Betty"(Angel) is a good little Catholic Schoolgirl, who attends the local convent. Betty is studying her scriptures hard, as it is the day before the school's final exam. However, no matter how much she studies, she is hung up on a single, word, which appears several times throughout the writings. That would is "begat". She's not quite sure what it means. However, little did she know that soon enough, she would get at a heavy dose of "begatting"(of orgasms!). That's because soon, Betty doses off to sleep, as she subsequently finds her in a world unlike the one that she is accustomed. To her, it all looks the same, that is until things take a turn for the perverse. [read the full review]

Star Angel review summaries:
fu_q's
Jerry Butler seems to have it made: an uber-successful career in the rock n' roll industry, a ton of money and the mansion to go along with it, and a hot, fire-crotched girlfriend who loves him and who caters to his every need. Of course, as with everything, there's always a catch and a price to pay. You see, Jerry murdered his ex-girlfriend, Tigr, a substance abusing rocker chick who got him his start in the biz, and made it look like an unintentional O.D. ... and now he sees her and her face everywhere he goes and in everything that he does. Indeed, his psychosis has him in a severe, downward spiral that even his girlfriend, Colleen Brennan, seems unable to stop. Compounding all of this is the presence of Angel, a young, gold-digging hottie whom the pair has brought home...and whom Butler has difficulty discerning from the phantasm that is his deceased ex. Such is the case in "Star Angel", an exceptional, 1986 release from Command Video and director Cecil Howard. [read the full review]
